28 Week Appointment!

Well I've officially hit my 3rd trimester! Yes!!!I couldn't be happier about it being the last stretch of this pregnancy journey! Yesterday Chris, Kal-el, Mimsy and myself all made our way over to the OBGYN to check on sweet baby Logan..or as Super now says.."Lo-Gee" :) Everything looked great and thankfully I'm not suffering from gestational diabetes. I chose the "fruit punch" flavor for the test and I must say that I handled it much better than the "orange" I opted for during my pregnancy with Super. Eww..still a vivid memory! The sugary drink did make me feel a bit rough this time around. I was so afraid that might mean something but my numbers were perfect according to the AMAZING nurse who drew my blood..seriously didn't even feel it. She might just be the very best "blood drawer" I've ever had! The most entertaining part of the entire visit would be the antics of Super toddler. This child was in EVERYTHING! Mom tried ..key word being tried ..to sit in the lobby with Kal-el but he wasn't having it. He was up and down the hallway banging on the various doors that housed naked women getting exams saying "Momma and Daddy?" Momma Momma Dadddy..Hello?" The nurses were laughing so hard. Once he found us we decided to just let him stay back in the room in the hopes he'd be quiet. FAIL. As soon as Mimsy left the room to go back to the lobby he yelled "Bridget!" over and over. He then proceeded to follow her by opening the door himself but not before he could grab the doctors chair and roll it out of the room. A nurse tried to get the chair and Super giggled at her and said "no no no no no chair." Dr. Musgrove smiled sweetly at him and said that was the fastest child he had seen in his life! He informed me of nothing new lol. Soon there after rottenness was taken to the CAR. I tried to get a picture but we were much too busy chasing him. I think Super will stay home for the next visit ;) Heres the single shot I got of the back of his head as he attempted to journey behind the curtain where blood is drawn. Niiiiice :)

Wordless Wednesday- A Little Relaxation :)

Kal-El's 2 year Pictures- Sneak Peek

We always use Captured Studios when they have their limited edition promotions through out the year. They have always done such an amazing job that we decided to use them this year for Kal-el's official 2 year pictures. Last year we used Heather Mitchell and could not of been happier but Captured is just a lot closer to home and I adore the ladies that work there. I know that we will continue to use both of these talented photographers in the future. Captured does a sneak peek on facebook of 4 of the pictures from a session. It turned that three of their choices were our favorites of Super as well. I will have to say that my very favorite didn't make the cut but I plan on ordering a large canvas of it so stay turned. I can't wait to post it when it comes in! In the mean time here are our other 3 favorites!

One Smart Cookie!

You can't get anything past this Mr Smarty pants toddler! We are still trying to rid our home of all the left over Birthday goodies...whew that was alot of sweet stuff and we really don't need it here at the house. The last thing I need is gestational diabetes and extra poundage and the very last thing Super needs is more ENERGY! I was attempting to tidy the kitchen and clear out the rest of the calorie filled treats when Kal-el told me it was bath time. I went ahead a drew a bath for him complete with bubbles and we made one last trip to the kitchen before his bedtime routine got underway. Thats when I realized that I had left an *ALMOND FAVORED* Mickey cookie behind. That reaction to anything almond is not just in my pregnancy state I could drink Almond flavoring...we will blame that one on my first taste of The Victorian Tea petite fors a few years ago. I decided I would partake in this guilty pleasure since it was the last the sweets. I devoured it then headed to the bath with Super. Once I got him in he was doing his usual splashing around and begging for more bubbles. He started giggling and I was laughing with him. That's when he noticed my tongue. It was black...from the icing on his cookie. He looked so upset and I thought for a split second he was concerned for my health because my tongue looked funny and my lips were a little black as well. Little did I know that concerned toddler stare was his little brain putting together the pieces of a puzzle. He teared up a little and then started to scream "MY COOKIE, MY COOKIE..MAMA MY COOKIE" He was all to pieces..my poor baby...fatty Mc preggars ate my sons very last cookie. I felt so bad but he forgot about it as soon as I introduced a new bath toy. Just call me the real life cookie monster ;)

Kal-el's 2nd Birthday Party!!!

Kal-el had a wonderful time celebrating his 2nd birthday tonight with very dear family and friends. Chris ended up getting called out but he was able to come by the facility before he left and we sat down as a little family of three and gave Kal-el his birthday gifts from us. Honestly it was the most special part of the evening for me. I love having the big birthday bashes for my little person..soon to be person(s)..HOWEVER sitting there with my husband and little boy before all the crazy, loud fun started really showed me what it's all about. I spent a little time feeling sorry for myself then got my self in check as I took a moment to think of husbands that are deployed or sick...or worse...I'm grateful that Chris has a wonderful job and this is a small price to pay for a temporary time frame. I decided to cheer up, count my blessings, and make the evening 110% about Super! Afterall it is his celebration and I wanted him to enjoy his little buddies, cake, cookies, gifts...and of course MICKEY. I had alot of help making this day special and I appreciate all the hard work from loved ones. I certainly could not have done it alone. I am beyond tired myself but it was all worth it to see a smile on one very special two years face! As soon as Kal-el walked in the door, he got a quick bath, asked for Mickey..and with a balloon in each hand he fell fast asleep...We are all partied out at the Borquez house!
