Fourth of July Weekend

I know it has been about a month since I've posted anything on this blog, but let me explain. This pregnancy is MUCH different than the last one. I'll be 14 weeks on Thursday. Matt says that I am always some sort of combination of three things: 1. Tired 2. Sick 3. Hungry. And he's right. Weeks 7, 8, and 9 were the worst, but I'm still not feeling well and definitely not back to feeling like myself. Somehow I've lost about 5 lbs, even though I eat 24/7. I'm not showing yet, but I'll be sure to post a belly picture when I am. So, that's my excuse for not blogging. I don't feel like doing anything, ever. Matt has been taking such good care of me. He's amazing! He constantly goes above and beyond for me and for Tyler and I've felt so loved by him. Thank you, Scroggy!

Here is an updated ultrasound of Baby Scroggy #2 at 12 weeks:



We had this one done at the specialist's office, and it turns out that I do NOT have a heart-shaped uterus and I have both kidneys (Having a bicornuate uterus and having only one kidney can be related), so it seems that there is nothing to worry about. We will go back there for one more visit, to have our 19 week ultrasound and to make sure the baby has both kidneys. We also find out whether it's a girl or boy, so we're really looking forward to August 25th!

We had an eventful July 4th weekend. Tyler's Nana and Papa came to visit! We had a great time being with them and it was so great to see Tyler spend time with them. We went to the pool a couple of times, went out to eat (Tyler did very well at most of the restaurants, too...It was weird!), played outside with bubbles and spent some time at Funstation Jr., an indoor arcade/bounce house place.























Tyler loved Funstation Jr. He would just run around as fast as he could, finding balls to throw and things to look at. As you can see from the pictures, he would hand us the balls for the games. He hated the bounce houses...Matt put him in one and he immediately started crying and saying, "Out! Out!"

Matt's parents left on Sunday and my parents came over on Monday. We had a great time with them too. We took Tyler back to the arcade where he learned how to play the basketball game if his dad held him up. He also learned how to put tokens in, push the start button, play and then collect tickets when he was done. What a cutie!

We've decided to take Tyler back to his 2 naps per day schedule. He wasn't doing that well with just one nap. So now we just make sure that he only naps for an hour during his morning nap. He says so many new words (including "no"), I can't even list them all. His favorite T.V. show is Curious George, which he calls "Ah-Ah" (because the monkey says "ah-ah"). He's an extremely picky eater which makes meal time my least favorite part of the day. Other than snack food and fruit, all he will eat is (IF I'm lucky): Home made macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, lunch meat, peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches.

Also, Tyler LOVES bugs! Matt found this huge beetle at work one night, drove all the way home with it in his hand and put it in Tyler's bug cage. Ty was so happy and kept saying "bug!" and "beeple!"









The week after July 4th, I took Tyler to Jacksonville to spend the weekend with my friends Jessica, Corrie and Jenn. I'm currently having some computer space issues and I can't get all the pictures uploaded. I will include all that in the next post.

We are also visiting New Orleans this weekend for the first time. We're planning to take Tyler to the aquarium, the insectarium and maybe the zoo.
