Gavin Is......

Gavin turned 9 yesterday. I can hardly believe it. 

Where did the time go? I remember when he was just just a little guy (6lbs. 8 oz. 21 in.)  He is now 56 lbs. & 4'5. He is getting so tall.

He is so fun & happy most of the time. For his birthday he woke up bright & early & went to a skate park with his dad for a few hours. Then he came home & Andy built him his 

very own awesome skate ramp. Then later we went to Shakey's Pizza with his great grandma Atha , Papa, Wawa, his uncle Daren & aunt Erin & his cousin Ethan. He got some cool gifts & we ate some yummy pizza with chicken & potato skins. Oh, & we had cake.  Gavin had a great day & here are some pics to prove it. :) Happy Birthday Gavin!!!!  Dad, Mom, & Emma love you very much!

This Is What I Crave

My freezer is stocked with every flavor.  I could eat these all day. I also crave fish & chips & there is a yummy restaurant down by the beach called South Harbor Fish Cafe. The only problem is that you only get one huge strip of beer battered fish with fries for 9 bucks! So ya, we have not filled that craving yet. I do however recommend the restaurant if you happen to be near this neck of the woods & you are craving fish & fries. I am craving anything that is sweet & yummy & bad for me (chocolate, soda, that sort of thing) Oh & I'm craving Ruth's & Chris Steakhouse! I am dying for a good steak. That craving will not be filled as well. Not yet anyway. Maybe for an anniversary or maybe a birthday. I will stick to my push ups & guard them from anyone that tries to trespass the freezer!!

Ups & Downs

Here are the pics. you all requested. Hope you are satisfied. I took them with my computer so they are not perfect. I am now 25 weeks & 5 days. I'll take more with the real camera soon.

Thought I'd share the ups & downs of being pregnant & if you are a male reader you might want to stop now cause it just might not interest you. First the downs:

Downs:

1. Gaining weight

2. Not being able to move very fast.

3. Sleepy all the time.

4. Not being able to sleep at night cause I have to pee at least 2 times during the night.

5. I like the maternity clothes but wish I could fit in my normal clothes.

6. Not being able to walk. (I waddle)

7. Oh, how I could do without the headaches. (no fun)

8. Not being able to eat Ravioli ever again & I love Ravioli but even the thought of it right now makes me want to puke.

9. I'm not too hip with the swollen feet & hands. :(  (flip flops should not leave  marks on my feet)

10. Peeing  ALL  the time. ( I know where every restroom is in Oceanside & Carlsbad)

I think that about covers it for the downs.

Now for the ups:

1. Eating whatever I want when I want & saying it's cause the baby wants it.

2. Shopping for baby clothes & necessities. I love it.. way too many cute things out there. I want it all.

3. I love when I feel the baby move. It's a feeling that is indescribable.

4. Knowing that soon I will be able to hold my little baby in my arms!

5. Eating junk food & lots of chocolate.

6. Okay so maybe the downs out did the ups but you have to admit the ups are pretty good. 

Basically, the downs may outnumber the ups, but the ups definitely outweigh the downs.

So there you have it. I do enjoy being pregnant, although I think I'm done I want this little bugger out. I want my pre-baby body back.  Meanwhile I will enjoy eating chocolate, pray my headaches go away with the swelling & just enjoy it I guess.

Okay so if you haven't noticed I keep changing the blog header (title) I can't think of anything really cool! HELP!!!!! And also I can't get the darn thing centered. Anyone have any ideas for me? Love to hear all your comments!!!!!
