one week!

because grayson came 5 weeks early for no known reason, my doctor is recommending i go see a perinatal specialist just for precautionary measures. my appointment is tomorrow and im so wishing the hubby was in town bc i have the chance to find out what our precious blessing is!!! BUT since he's not, we will have to wait til monday to find out at our next check-up! it's only one more week, but it seems so long since technically i could find out tomorrow. but im not... i promise, because i want all three of us to be together when we find out. needless to say im so excited for next monday! with as much as im dying to have a baby girl, lately ive been wanting another little boy.... so i will be tickled with whatever God blesses us with! i was 18 weeks on friday and my tummy has just popped out, just enough that if i wear a fitted shirt i have that nice chubby look...haha! ill post a picture soon! my energy is definitely coming back and im feeling a million times better! i think we have finally picked a boy name, but still on the hunt for a girl name..we just cant seem to agree on one and im not going to settle for just okay...after all, it is our childs name they will be stuck for for life!

these days Grayon is into EVERYTHING and so so curious! he is so close to walking it's scary! i think all it's going to take is for him to not be scared to let go and then the chase will be on! he gets so proud when he takes steps without help and it's so precious! aside from that, im pretty sure he is part whale because of his insane love with taking baths and making as big of splashes as possible. im in the splash zone every night! he has so much fun in the bath! he absolutely loves food...of all kinds! if i fed him all day, he would eat all day. im so glad hes not a picky eater like i was as a baby! aside from ma-ma, da-da, ba-ba, and po-po, his favorite thing to say is uh-uh (like uh uh , no way). everything is uh-uh... i thought they weren't supposed to talk balk til later...haha! he is just so full of life and it is so fun watching him discover everything new and how everything works! my house is a disaster bc of this though, but oh well! ive just learned to clean up after he goes to bed at night bc otherwise as soon as i clean one thing up, he tears it up seconds later! little toot! he loves nothing more than to scatter the tupperware cabinet across the house and his basket full of diapers! oh joy!

on another note, i havent even started Christmas shopping, nor do i have the slighest idea of what to get anyone this year! i hate giving a gift, just to give a gift. i want it to be the perfect gift, well-thought out and just right for that person! so this week and next week ill be hitting the stores along with all the other procrastinating shoppers! not looking forward to the crowds and lines!

hope everybody had a great weekend!
