It's A BOY!!!

As if I wasn't already blessed with the most perfect angel of a baby boy, now I get another one. We are very excited about this baby and feel very blessed. The baby was moving around a lot during the ultrasound and it was such a joy to see. He's a very active little one and was flipping all around. I am including some of the pictures and going to attempt to add video of it too. So, now that I'm surrounded by boys, inside and out - including my pets - I feel as though I need to girly myself up more. Although, I haven't come up with any good ideas except an impractical new leather diaper bag, so I'm up for suggestions! We've actually known since February 9th, but wanted to wait to announce here since I was looking forward to telling my family in person last weekend, while home for Braedan's Baptism. It was last weekend, Feb. 21st. It was nice to be able to tell them the news in person. They all seemed happy for us and excited for the new little one.

Well, speaking of our trip to NY, it was quite an adventure. For starters, EVERYONE got sick while we were there. They all had the stomach bug and we almost managed to escape it, but William caught it the last day we were there. He seemed fine later that day as we got to the airport, but he was pretty sleepy. He actually fell asleep on the plane before we even backed from the gate. However, due to mechanical issues,we had to go back, get off the plane and catch a flight back home the next morning. We were bummed, but were glad they caught the error before the plane was in the air. The second we got back to my mom's and sat down William got sick again - guess he wanted to just be home too. It wasn't all bad though. All my family was around during this trip and we got to have dinner together again...with the addition of two little boys. Braedan's Baptism was nice also. As I mentioned before, I am his godmother and Kevin is the godfather. He was very well behaved and seemed to not be bothered by the water at all.

So I have to come up with a new poll now. Sorry everyone who guessed a girl, but Kevin got it right - the only boy vote! When we come up with some names for this little guy I'll need some opinions so that will probably be next. Have a great week! P.S. The video is not uploading right for the ultrasound, but here's a slideshow of NY and a cute (short) video of William eating lunch.

BiPo's Baby Boutique

Good Afternoon! I am now officially selling my bibs and burp cloths and taking special orders. I even put my first item on ebay, so let's hope it sells. I've updated my "recent sewing projects" album with the most recent items toward the end of the slideshow, and attached it below. You'll see I've made a dress and a burp cloth set for a girl. I've got some friends with buns in the ovens now so I'll be making more as gifts and will post all items I've made on the blog. Please let me know if you'd like to order a set or if you just have a clever idea that you'd like to suggest. It's just one more week until I know if I'm making pink or blue bibs for my own little one!

A New Week

Well I just re-read my last post and man am I glad that day was over. I do think a lot had to do with hormones, but whatever it was, everyone is entitled to a bad day. Also, on Thursday William's 5th tooth broke through. It's the lower right one - which could explain his severe crankiness in the week. Well 2 days later, Friday, was my birthday. It was a great birthday. William and I spent the day together since Addy and family went to Louisville for the weekend. We traveled on to Opry Mills and did a little shopping. I found some great deals and bought William a couple sweaters. He was such a dream in the stroller. He just chilled out and sang and watched the people go by. He took his naps on time and was just a well behaved perfect little angel! When AJ came home, William gave me my birthday present - a Snoogle! It's a maternity body pillow. William loved jumping on the pillow in it's package and I felt a little guilty taking it out for bed that night - but I did replace it by putting my old body pillow in the bag so we're good. Back to the Snoogle. Ok, so I didn't think it was that great before I had one. But boy was I wrong! I almost feel guilty being so comfortable in bed. I would like to let AJ use it one night, but I don't think I can give it up. I call it my boyfriend, since it's so cuddly and always has me wrapped up and is "snoogled" around me.

The rest of my birthday was great as well. We went to dinner at a place near the airport and the name has completely escaped me right now - Prego Brain! (I'll fill it in later when I remember it) After dinner we went to Kroger and got a yummy red velvet cake. We returned home to flowers awaiting me at the doorstep. They were from my boyfriend. Just kidding! Hee hee! AJ had sent me 2 dozen roses for my birthday. He was a little miffed because he wanted them to come during the day while I was at home with the kids, to surprise me, but they didn't get there until 7:20pm. Isn't he just the sweetest husband? The flowers are just gorgeous! I also got a gift of a professional prenatal massage. I love you AJ!


The weekend was great as well. I went to lunch with Samantha on Saturday with no kiddies and it was nice. It must have been awhile since we've gotten together like that because we were at lunch for 3 hours! Sunday, William and I went to Samantha's for a playdate with our little playdate group. And then we just chilled out at home and watched the Super Bowl. Now it's Tuesday and this week is off to a great start (crossing fingers.) Hope you are all having a nice week too!
