Smiles to Sass
Last Friday morning I wanted to take some pictures of Audree before her and daddy left the house. Here are her "cheese" shots
6 Weeks & A Belly Pic
Okay so I turned 6 weeks preggo on Friday, but I slacked and did not post until today. I been feeling the preggo symptoms!
I have been "very very very very very very" (did I say that enough?) tired these past few days. I feel like I have bricks hanging from my eyelids and Im yawning all the time! Ive also been battling themorning (cough cough) ALL day sickness. I went through this with Audree from week 7 up until week 17 and I lost 20 pounds, yes ladies 20 pounds. Now usually I would be like heck yeah 20 pounds lighter, but it was a time I did not want to lose! Over the weekend I ate very little and picked at everything that my sweet hubby tried to feed me. I lost 2 pounds since Friday :o( I made myself eat today and I am determined to not let the nausea get the best of me!! BUT enough about me!!
How Peanut Jr is growing:
This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.
WE HAVE OUR 1ST ULTRASOUND FRIDAY MORNING @ 8:30!! WE ARE SO EXCITED AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE OUR PRECIOUS BABY!!

Look how little our little peanut jr is!!
With Audree we took a picture of my belly every single week so we could see how much it grew! So of course I have to do it with this one too! Here is my 6 week Belly Picture, and NOBODY LAUGH AT IT!! You'll have to ignore the stretch marks on the hips, I like to call them my battle scars from our lovely little Audree Loo (1st daughter)

Our Little Helper
Audree has been wanting to be our little helper lately, and we dont mind!! We ♥ it when she helps us do things, it puts a little "spunk" into our chores Everytime Brett is cleaning, Audree is right there with her little rag helping him. Anytime we do laundry, she has to help you put the clothes into the dryer, then when they are done she has to help you get the colthes out of the dryer and helps carry the laundry basket into the living room. She then proceeds to get into the basket of clothes and hands each piece to you one by one.
Last night we were making Spaghetti for dinner. I asked Audree if she wanted to help mommy and daddy and of course she was ready! She said pa-e pa-e (prounounced potty haha) and I couldn't figure out why she wanted her potty when it was time to cook dinner. So I took her into the bathroom, she runs over to her potty, picks it up and takes of running with it to the kitchen. Her potty is a stool too, so my smart lil booger knew she could reach the counter with that there! Audree and I's job was to make garlic bread! ( wasn't too hard it was already pre-made hahaha just had to put it on a pan!) Audree helped daddy get the cookie sheet out, helped me get the foil out of the drawer, lined the pan and even put the bread on the pan. She kept saying "bread, bread, bread" We would say yes Audree that is bread. Anytime she learns a new word she says it about a million times!!
She was done helping mommy so it was now daddy's turn to get some help! Her job was to help daddy put the noodles in the pot to cook! She did such a good job!! Daddy held her hand and part of the box and they did it together.
I have to say Audree makes some yummy spaghetti!!
*oh and dont pay any attention to how audree's hair is haha we were having a very LAZY day!! Can you tell? haha

Week 5
Well here we are @ 5 weeks pregnant!! I know I know I still have 35 weeks left to go, but here is the baby and mommy update for this week:
How I am feeling:
I have been nauseous off and on throughout this last week. It seems to only happen when I haven't ate for a few hours! I have been trying to be healthier and eat some yummy things for the baby, like apples, pineapples, mixed fruit, etc. My chest has started to become sore, which is a shock for me because this didn't happen with little miss Audree!! Other than that I'm just taking it day by day and praying for our little peanut jr.
Audree knows there is a baby in mommy's belly, she thinks its my belly button I think haha She will come up to my stomach and give it kisses and hug it or pat it. She walks around and says baby all the time, I think she is just going to be the best big sister ever! Last night we were laying bed watching "Tinkerbell" on Disney Channel and Audree had her hand on my belly and just patted it over and over. Here is a pic I took:
How your baby's growing:
Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.The neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel.His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue.The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.

4 weeks and 2 days
Well here we are 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant and what an AMAZING feeling it is. To think and know what all if taking place in my body is just the most wonderful thing in the entire world. To know that there is a little life growing inside of me as we speak just brings me to tears, happy years of course!
I ave experianced some light cramping, which as always scares me to death, but I had this with audree loo as well. I take some tylenol & it disappears. Today is the first day I haven't had any cramping so Im pretty happy about that! Im already rubbing my stomach, yes ALREADY! I just rub it and pat it and think about what that little peanut jr is doing, even though its only the size of a poppy seed haha I starting to get tired and I really dread this part. When I was pregnant with Audree I remember being so tired it was unreal! On my 15 minute breaks at work I would go outside and take a nap in my car as well as sleeping on my hour lunch break and crashing when I got home! Of course crashing when I get home is NOT POSSIBLE because of our Audree Loo!!
I am counting down the days until our first ultrasound to see that little booger! According to the calendar I will be 6 weeks and 6 days! Here is the picture of Audree when I was 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant!

Wonderful Weekend
I always wonder why the weekends go soooo fast and the weekdays go sooooo slow! When any of you figure this out would you please clue me in? This weekend was very fun and very relaxing which was much needed!
Friday night we didn't do much of anything (which was a okay by me!) I got off work around 5:15 and headed home. Brett, Audree & myself ate some yummy steak fingers daddy made us for dinner. Afterwards Pop Pop (my dad) came over and he brought Audree a "surprise". What was it you may ask? A dirt devil play vaccum!! Audree loves it when we vaccum the house so pop pop bought her, her very own! They played with it for a while and little missy cleaned the living room! We played and played until Audree went night night. Brett & I rented " I love you man" and I have to say this movie was pretty darn funny! Brett & I laughed so hard watching it. After the movie I crashed! I was so sleepy it was unreal!
Saturday morning little missy woke us up around 7:00. So we got up and rushed straight to the big girl potty! Audree sat on her princess throne for about 10 minutes then I heard her music play, thats right she went potty!! We clapped, danced and made a BIG deal out of it. She said yay audee haha I love hearing her say her name, she doesn't say her r in her name so its audee audee audee! Daddy had to referee a football scrimmage in Bynum so he left around 9 that morning. Audree & I had some good ol quality mommy and daughter time. We played, laughed, and had such a good time! She always brings the biggest smile to my face. After we played for a few hours it was nap time. Audree grabbed Elle, her elephant, and off we went to night night land. We slept for 2 whole hours!!! When we woke up we ate lunch and then daddy came home! We headed to the grocery store and my goodness we spent $227! We got lots of fruits and veggies for the baby though :o) Have to get my little peanut jr off to a good start. After shopping we went out to eat @ one of my favorite places, Johnny Carinos! I love their bread and dipping sauce!! Brett ordered chicken and sausage and skilletini and I ate some yummy chicken parmiagina. Audree just ate some of ours, since she likes a variety haha. After dinner we headed to the inlaws to visit and then came home and crashed. I took this picture of my two sweet loves fast asleep.
Sunday Audree let us sleep in until 7:45! HOLY MOLY that was AMAZING!! We got up, went to the big girl potty, and took a bath! Audree splished and splashed and had a fun bubble bath! Afterwards, I cooked us a big breakfast with eggs, bacon and biscuits! We tasted some yummy mulberry jelly our neice made for us and it was so good! We cleaned up the kitchen and then cleaned the rest of the house! We had another showing yesterday so we had to make sure it was all nice and tidy! We headed out around noon and picked up my neice. My sister in law and her boyfriend were having a cookout as a thank you for us helping them move a few weeks ago into their duplex! We had yummy burgers, delicious baked beans, out of this world mac n cheese, and of course my ever so famous dessert, butterfinger cake! Audree sure was showing off in front of Adam's (my sister in law's boyfriend) family. She was just laughing, make facing and talking it up. She is such a little ham! We were all stuffed and all I could think about was how good the back of my eyelids were looking. We headed back to the inlaws and took a wonderful nap! After we woke up we went and visited with nonna & grandad (my mom and stepdad) and then off to pop pop's (my dad). My sister and her friends were there so of course Audree had to show off again! She actually said my sister's name KISTIN, she normally only says KiKi! Audree played with my sister and all her friends and of course pop pop until 8:30 last night!! We finally said okay Aud its time to go home!! We all headed home and were pooped from our fun filled weekend! We all climbed in bed and next thing you knew we were all snoring!!
We hope yall had a great weekend!!

4 WEEKS
Ever since we found out we were pregnant with our precious bundle of joy, Peanut Jr, (Audree was peanut so we have named this one Peanut Jr) we have been on Cloud 9! Some have said for me to not get to happy go lucky because there is always the chance of miscarriage. That thought scares the living daylights out of me and I would never ever want to lose our own flesh and blood and I can't imagine that even happening. I have prayed to the big man upstairs to please watch over this baby! Help "it" grow, and be healthy. To please watch over our precious little one and do not let anything happen to "it". I really do not know how I would ever be able to move on and how I would even handle something like this happening. I am trying to keep my head up and only think positive thoughts!!!
Well according to the calendars today I am officially 4 weeks pregnant!!! I signed up to get weekly emails on what is going on with the baby is here is what is going on this week:
This week marks the beginning of the embryonic period. From now until 10 weeks, all of your baby's organs will begin to develop and some will even begin to function. As a result, this is the time when she'll be most vulnerable to anything that might interfere with her development.Right now your baby is an embryo the size of a poppy seed, consisting of two layers: the epiblast and the hypoblast, from which all of her organs and body parts will develop.The primitive placenta is also made up of two layers at this point. Its cells are tunneling into the lining of your uterus, creating spaces for your blood to flow so that the developed placenta will be able to provide nutrients and oxygen to your growing baby when it starts to function at the end of this week.Also present now are the amniotic sac, which will house your baby; the amniotic fluid, which will cushion her as she grows; and the yolk sac, which produces your baby's red blood cells and helps deliver nutrients to her until the placenta has developed and is ready to take over this duty.See what's going on in your uterus this week. (Or see what fraternal twins look like in the womb this week.)Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.
How your life's changing:
The next six weeks are critical to your baby's development. The rudimentary versions of the placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already functioning. Through the placenta, your baby is exposed to what you take into your body, so make sure it's good for both of you.
