Baby # 2 Updates

This pregnancy has been so different than my first. Oh my goodness...

*For the first 4 months I was sick as a dog. I have never felt nausea like that! It was INSANE! Every now and then I get a bit of it but it goes away. Thank goodness at about 14-15 weeks it started going away.

*I felt her move for the first time at 16 weeks. I love feeling those little flutters. I didn't feel Cameron move until 19 weeks.

*I have felt KICKS now. I felt the first real KICK, not quickening, at 20 weeks. She is active. I feel her at least once every hour. I am sure if I wrote it down it would be something like that. She isn't any more active than Cameron was... yet. We will see who wins for strongest and most often kicks as the weeks progress.

*I am carrying all up high. With Cameron, I carried him so low until the last month of course. This pregnancy is right in my darn chest.. well it feels that way anyways:)

* I have been 100 times more irritable, grouchy, moody, tired... need I continue? Than I was with Cameron. You would have never known I was pregnant... other than my belly. I think it may be the summer pregnancy. I don't know but whatever it is, I feel thankful for the wonderful husband I have who smiles and hugs me anyways:)

* People always say your second baby is different. I kinda of understand that, but with the gender being different it's kind of not. With Cameron, we had all furniture, bedding, clothes, ect. by the time I was 17 weeks along. This time we have the furniture and a few unorganized sets of clothing. I have the bedding picked... just haven't purchased it yet. I have plenty of time:) That may be the difference. When it's your second time around you know how long those 40 weeks can last :)

I feel brave to share this photo....

22 Weeks and 1 Day

*If you have read this far.... We have picked a name and I am ready to start monogramming!!!!

Madison KayLee Pearce

KayLee is special to Van and his family. He picked the middle name since I changed Cameron's middle name at the last minute to honor my dad who had JUST passed away. Some of Cameron's blankets actually say "Cameron Ryan Pearce." Oops :)

That's all for now. Buying baby stuff sure is just as much fun as I remember!!!!!!!!

ABC Bible Verses "A"

Camp is over and Cameron is not starting Pre-K until Sept. 6! He will be going to Firt United Methodist Church, where he had summer camp. We have 5 weeks to keep busy with fun summer activities! Cameron and I are "home" 4 days a week. I thought I would do a letter and bible verse for everyday! That takes us to "U" so we will have to throw in a double day there a couple of times. Today was "A."

"A gentle answer turns anger away."

Proverbs 15:1

He colored in the Letter A

Then he tore up red and green paper to glue on the apples

to give them color.

He was very proud of his work:)

On the bottom of his page, I wrote this:

The Lord’s been good to me

And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need:
The sun and the rain and the appleseed.
The Lord is good to me!

I love this kid:)

Saturday Family Fun!

On Saturday, after Cameron's soccer game (which he scored a goal at!) we went to my brother-in-law's house for games and a BBQ. We had a great time playing Wii with 4 people... well it was interesting:) Dinner was great! Thanks to my feet swelling we had to call it quits around 8 p.m. Darn! Right before candy, popcorn and a movie :( But I did enjoy seeing the family and watching Cameron climb trees! The perfect way for a Saturday to be spent!

Aunt Lacie & Cameron

Uncle Waylon & Cameron

Isn't he darling?!

He even convinced Dad to climb! HA!

My Baby!

My Very Own SUPERHEROS!

I know you don't know who these people are. After all if you are a superhero and wearing a mask... your identity is kept secret 100%! So, to keep their identities safe... I have my very own SUPERHEROS! I have a Green Lantern AND a Captain America! How did this girl get so lucky! Watch out Lois Lane!

Saving the world one day at a time!

My Superheros for sure!

My Own Little Harry Potter!

This Pearce crew is a little obsessed with Harry Potter... can't help it. I will say it is 100% my husband & his family's fault! So, in honor of Van and I seeing the FINAL movie for a second time we made wands! I did allow Cameron to watch the first movie... but that will have to do for about 4 more years!

We pulled out the ol' dress up cloak and settled in to watch the movie!

Last Day of Camp and VBS!

July 30th was Cameron's last day of camp AND Vacation Bible School. The last day of camp was "Water Day!" I just loved his "MO-GAWK" I had to get the picture on here!
