Baby Gender Reveal!!!!

Well, after much anticipation (and morning sickness), we can finally reveal the gender of our new baby!!!!  We’ll let our son, Grayson, do the honors.

Baby boy #2 will be named Oliver Steven McVey.  Now both boys will share part of their daddy’s name!  I can’t believe my little baby boy is going to be a big brother!!!  Where has the time gone?!

Grayson and Oliver will be about 20 months apart, so we’re hoping that they grow up to be the best of friends.  Thank you to everyone for all your love and support!  We can’t wait to introduce our new little man to you in January!

Our Family is Growing!

It’s true!  I’m almost 12 weeks pregnant with our second child!  This pregnancy has not been an easy one.  I actually ended up in the hospital yesterday from dehydration.  6 hours and 2 bags of IV fluids later, I was feeling much better, and was able to keep down my dinner.  The reason it took so long is because my veins were so flat from being dehydrated that the fluids had trouble flowing through my IV.  (Well, that and the fact that I had to wait 2 hours in the waiting room for a bed to open up.)  I was put on a new medication and will hopefully turn a corner soon.

This baby is due January 21st, and we’ve already had our first doctor’s appointment and seen our little peanut via ultrasound.  At first I was positive this baby would be another boy, but since I’ve been SO sick this time around (much more than I was with Grayson), now I’m wondering if this one is a girl.  I guess only time will tell!

Here’s a couple pictures of our little munchkin.

We’re going to try to find out the gender around 15 weeks via elective ultrasound.  But if we can’t tell then, we’ll have to wait until our anatomy scan at 20 weeks.  If you could spare some prayers, please pray that I will have some relief from this morning (all day) sickness soon!

Spring Is Finally Here!!!

Spring has finally made it’s appearance here in Middle Tennessee, and that means we can finally have some fun at the park with Grayson!  I tried taking him to the park in February, but it was cold and windy, and he was not liking it!  This is the face he made that day when I tried to take his picture.

Luckily, this time, there were no pouty faces, and we all enjoyed the nice, warmer weather.

See that blanket folded up in front of him?  That is so he doesn’t fall forward every time he swings back.  He hasn’t quite gotten the concept of holding on, yet, so the first time I tried to put him on the swings a few months ago he hated it because he kept falling forward.  You live and you learn!

He loves swinging now!  Especially when his daddy is pushing him and making funny faces!

Mommy got in on the swinging action too!  (It’s funny how much I refer to myself in 3rd person now.)

Father and son. 🙂  We’re going to need to work on getting Grayson to say cheese.  He is so used to me shoving a camera in his face that it is SO hard to get him to smile for pictures nowadays.  I have to catch him off guard or do something REALLY funny, otherwise this is the face I get.

I found this pretty patch of yellow flowers in the grass, so we plopped Grayson down for a mini photo shoot.  But, he was more interested in looking at the grass or the people walking by.

Out of all the pictures I took, this was the only one I got of him looking into the camera.  This kid, I tell ya!  I’m gonna have to start bribing him to smile, once he understands what I’m saying.

Since I’m usually the one behind the camera, I don’t have a lot of photos of Grayson and me.  So I had my wonderful hubby snap some pictures of the two of us.

He’s actually pretty good, as long as I get the camera set up for him!  Hey, Honey, if you ever want to stop selling electronic cigarettes, you can always come into business with me as my second shooter! 😉

My new favorite of my son and me.  Sure, he’s making a silly face, but that’s his personality, and I love it!  I can’t wait to get outside more and take some pictures!  Yay for warmer weather!!!
