It's a Bee...

I have a lot of pics to share from our recent trip to visit family in the Texas panhandle, but I'm too tired to re-size them all at this moment.  So this is what you get for now:

 

 

The bug is a bee, in case anyone can't tell, haha.

Tova: Thanks!!

The boys are excited (Xavier moreso than Orian, I think), but I don't think Isabella is going to be too thrilled at first.

LW: Thanks!

LOL, the shirt is actually a mistake. I wanted to do an iron transfer on a t-shirt and the only one I found that was just a plain t was a white onesie that was a tad too small (in with some outgrown stuff in the garage).

I cut the snaps off and did the iron on in the garage (not great lighting). When I brought it in I noticed it had stains on it. I didn't have time to go get a new shirt, so I used ribbon and buttons to cover up the stains and added some paint. Hahahaha. Is that ghetto or what?

Hey wow talk about timing. I just dropped by to see how everything was going in JU land and wow.

 

CONGRATULATIONS Brandie!! And Adrian, Orian, Xavier and Isabella. 

 

Sabrina that's just scary :) 

 

Elana is 4 & a half now. I just saw a blog by PB about his 4 year JUaversary and I realised I missed mine. Alice is 3 months next week time just goes, where I don't know.

 

Congratulations again - I'll lurk back again in another 6 months :D

Congrats, Tex.

 

I like the pic, too. Isabella's look is like, "What the hell is on my shirt" Or maybe she can read and is thinking, "What do you mean 'big sister'? " ;)

Great news Tex.  I'm happy for you.  Wouldn't it be nice to have another girl for Isabella to pal around with? 

When are you due?

Oh. My. Goodness. Tex. Congrats.

Hey Brandie, Congrats! Hopefully you'll get another girl and well and balance out the genders a bit.

Seriously though, are you addicted to being pregnant or something?! Just kidding :P

Man, you step away from JU for a spell and before you know it new people are being created 'n' shit :D

Holy crap!  Congrats!  I guess you're a lot younger with a lot more energy than I.  I can't fathom being pregnant right now and keeping up with my crazy Ashley.

All the best to you and yours.  Here's hoping you don't feel sick like you did before.

Hey Tex, sorry for being so late to the game. There are so many articles now I don't always get to them fast, depending on the titles. Congrats, she is so adorable. My sister has 2 girls about 1 year apart and although they fight like most siblings do, they love each other to death and share everything (except boys of course, LOL, then again, I can't really prove that). I wouldn't mind having a little girl, though my current financial situation would make me a terrible father if I even tried. But look forward to it someday.

Tex! Sorry for being so late with the Congratulations!

That's amazing, but you'd better watch out, any more kids and people will think you're either Catholic or Mormon. ;)


That's awesome, keep us updated. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

or fundamentalist Christian. We had three families with seven in our last church. If that's the case, TW has three more to go after this one!!!  :SURPRISED:

Bumping so I can reply to this from the forums and not have weird formatting issues.

SC, Maso, JJ, IB, FS, ParaTed, UdigIt, Kelly, GW: Thanks!!


LW: I think five is overkill!! Boob job sounds nice, though!!

Roy: LOL. I think that must be a Texas thing, because that's what some of my relatives said!

I was actually kind of expecting a lukewarm or even slightly negative reaction here, just because it seems like 2 kids is the norm, and anything beyond that (unless you are trying for one of the opposite sex) is just weird. LOL.

I don't want a huge family, but 4 kids is fine with me! I think it will be nice for Isabella to have a sibling close in age to her since the boys will be out of the house long before she will (I'm assuming...haha...I guess they could live with us forever...LOL).

Trina: Hey! Great to see you!!

Congrats on your new little one! I can't believe Elana is nearly 5! Crazy! Time really does pass so quickly.

I've got one turning 11 this month.

KFC: We are definitely hoping for a girl, but I have it in my head that it's a boy, so we'll see. It will be fun either way.

I haven't seen a doc yet (appts are backed up, so I will be in my 2nd tri by the time I see the doc for my first appt!!), but I *think* I'm due Jan 17th. Give or take a couple days.

My birthday is the 21st, and I think it's a real possibility that I could deliver this one on my birthday! :)

Toblerone: I've missed you!!

How is my daughter's future husband doing? I would love to see pics of him in toddlerhood!

I really would like to have another daughter, but I'm not counting on it, haha. I actually do enjoy being pregnant. Hate being sick, but having a baby growing inside me and delivering and meeting him or her is the most amazing thing.

Jill: Thanks!

Being pregnant with Isabella being a toddler isn't TOO bad (yet!), but having a newborn and a 2 year old may be INTERESTING. Haha. It will definitely be the most chaotic life I've ever experienced. I hope I can do it well. I do have worries.

I have been sick, but not as bad as with Izzy (thank goodness since I can't get a doc appt). It seems to already be subsiding so I'm hoping I'm about done with it!

Are you guys definitely done having children?

Charles: Thanks, I appreciate it.

I think having them close in age will be both wonderful and terrible, haha. They will have ready-made companions, but the fighting will probably be awful.

I told my boys today that I'm about to the point where I'm going to let them beat the crap out of each other and not say a word, condition being that they can't cry to me if they get hurt. LOL. They both liked the idea. Hahahahahahaha.

There is still plenty of time for you to expand your family if you and your wife want to...I don't think money is the most important thing in raising kids (although it helps). We certainly don't have a ton. The stress of making ends meet when it's really tight isn't great for the family, though!

Cedarbird: Thanks! LOL, maybe I will just say we're Mormon. I think for some people that would make it more "acceptable" since apparently you're only supposed to have 2 kids!
