Grayson's BIG Announcement!!!!

Grayson has an announcement to make.... he is going to be a big brother!!!! Yea!!!! :) We have been waiting to let everyone know until our first ultrasound which was last Monday! I am almost 10 weeks! I am at that in between stage. I haven't gained but maybe 2 pounds but my body seems to be changing a little already. When we went to the ultrasound Marc and I and Grayson were excited to hear the heart beat and see that little Baby Mathias was alright! The heart sounded great and all the measurements were right where they should be. Baby is developing as it should. I am sorry to report though I am experiencing once again, a great deal of nausea. Not fun but went through it with Grayson. I feel like a baby incubator with feeling so sick and being extremely tired. Hopefully by month 4 it will go away!! :) Marc has been wonderful though through all my early woes.

Well, we are all so excited and can't wait. I couldn't believe when I took the test and it came up positive. We have been waiting for a long time for that positive sign so I knew the day I was able to test. And yes, that is 'The Stick' Grayson is holding!! Grayson said to me when I told him the news, "Mommy got baby in belly!" and pulled up my shirt to look. I know he will be such a good and loving big brother. He is so into babies! I think the age difference will be a blessing. He is old enough to understand now and is such a great helper!! Well, the count down begins to February 27... mark your calendars for the arrival of 'Baby Mathias' and yes, once again, sex will be unknown until birth date!!! :) Yea!!!

In case you are wondering what is on Grayson's face in the last picture... it is shaving cream. He wanted to shave like Daddy so Marc put some on his face and they pretended to shave. Two silly guys!!!

Grayson goes to Monticello

Grayson took a trip to Monticello over 4th of July weekend. He went to visit his cousins, Broderick and Braedon. We had a wonderful visit. When we arrived, Wendy (their mother) made us lunch. Afterwards, we headed over to the pig barn to feed the boys pigs they are raising for the fair. Grayson thought it was just about the neatest thing he had ever seen! He wanted to pet the pigs and feed the pigs. Once we finished feeding the pigs, we headed over to Indiana Beach. Grayson has never ridden on rides before so that was a treat for both of us! I wasn't sure how well he would like the rides but he loved every minute. Wendy's boys were really good with him and took turns riding along with him. I was too big to fit in the kiddie rides. :( So I just stood over there like a scared mom not sure of his reactions. After the first ride, Grayson was a pro! He just laughed and said, "Again Mommy!" I got lots of great pictures of all the boys riding and having so much fun. I remember Wendy and I riding those same rides when we were little. That was a good test run to let me know how Grayson will do at Disney this September and I think he will be great!

Once we left the Beach, it was time for dinner. We went to my favorite...Arnies!!!! Yea! for some yummy junior salads and pizza!!! When we returned back to Wendy's house, the boys got on their swim suits and headed out for some slip and slide fun!!! What a long fun day! The ride home was just as good as the ride there. Grayson and I were wore out when we arrived back at our house but it was an exciting and fun filled day!!! Grayson just loves his older cousins, Bro and Brae!!
