I'M BACK.......

Well for tonight at least. I had a moment of energy so I figured I should blog. Then I am going to finish cleaning the house because Zac has been super angry about the house not being clean. I warned him he is in for at least another 4 weeks of all day sickness. After therapy I went to Wal Mart to get groceries. Of course I was craving fruit. I craved it with Cooper too. So we got in the car and I opened my bag of apples. (I'm alergic to fruit remember) So I downed my apples...felt my throat swelling...started having a hard time swallowing..downed a few more because they were soooo good, and then grabbed a bag of animal crackers and a coke to wash away the apple. It was worth it. Last night I woke up with awful dreams...as I have since I've been pregnant, got up and turned on a light so that I could sleep. Well I couldn't sleep because I had a migraine. I went to the couch and put a frozen bag of blueberries on my head and took some tylenol and it got better. I fell back asleep around 4:30, Zac's alarm went off at 5:00, that woke Cooper up and so I was up the rest of the day!!! I feel with every fiber of my being that I am having a boy because I am craving and eating the same things that I did with Cooper, Zac feels with every fiber of his being that I am either having the antichrist, or twins. I guess he thinks I'm fat. And that has basically been my week. I'm still horribly tired and weak, but the zofran..ahhh (the zofran is a funny story). My Dr last week prescribed me the generic for zofran. I kept telling Zac how miserably tired I was. He said no, zofran won't make you tired, your just lazy and pregnant. After I complained more, he looked at the bottle and said hon, this is phenergan. Those of you that don't know...phenergan will lay you OUT!! That is why I was soooo tired. He laughed at me for about 2 days and yesterday I finally got the real zofran. I didn't know what the generic names were. Oh well. Enjoy these pics of Coop...I may not blog for a while. We'll see.

Cooper tried to climb out of the tub to get his ball. He slipped and fell back into the tub..he was not injured...

He really enjoyed playing with the chips ahoy bag

Cooper's picture session

Here is a sneak peek of some amazing pictures to come!!! Last night Cooper and I went to spend the night with granny and papa in Sparta. This morning he had a photo session with Renee Bouldin. He did so good!!! I have only seen a few pictures and am sooo pleased already.
Isn't he beautiful!!!!

Where's Cooper

After Cooper's bath tonight, I swaddled him up like a taco so that I could brush his teeth. Cooper hates it when we brush his teeth and we basically sit on him to keep him from moving. It is a fight every time and I am running out of energy quickly. I bathed him tonight because I actually felt pretty good. I took my zofran today and ate a lot of fast food, and it has resulted in a pretty decent evening. My nausea lasts all day and seems to be worse later in the evening. So as soon as Cooper goes to bed, I have been close behind him. Tonight I will forgo my 8:00 bedtime in order to stay up and watch It's always sunny in philidelphia. I may regret that when it is time to get up and get ready for therapy in the morning. Today I am 7 weeks along!! That means in a week I get to see this little peanut!! Im excited about my Dr appt. I didn't really think I would be as excited about my second baby, but I really am. We also finally got our hot water heater fixed. 3 days without a shower was awful, so it was fabulous to have that luxury this morning. Now our garbage disposal is backed up and it is nasty.

Happy Birthday Finn

Saturday morning we got up and went to Erin's house to celebrate Finn's Birthday. he turned 1 and Cooper turned 21 months. They are exactly 9 months apart to the day. The day before the party, Finn got himself a might cute haircut!! Look at that sweet baby doll face.

Finn's monster cake...don't worry I took a lot of it home!!

Macey loved Cooper...she kept hugging him and following him around

Cooper got very curious once Finn started opening presents

After the birthday we came home and slept and Zac went to watch football at a friends house. We woke up this morning for church and I didn't feel good at all. On the drive home Zac had to pull the car over for me to have a little dry heave session on the side of the road. Then I came home and slept for another 3 hours and then finally ate something. Ughhhh

Sir laughs a lot

Other than therapy, we have not done much this week. Monday I went to Murfreesboro to have lunch with Kristin and Cayden and check out the new things she has for her sweet baby girls room. I can't wait to get my hands on that baby!! It is weird when you become pregnant you want to hold little babies all of a sudden. ZAc came home today with the world's ugliest hair cut. I decided he looks a whole lot like Gavin now. Not that Gavin's hair is ugly, but Zac just cannot pull off the buzz cut. I haven't laughed that hard in maybe 2 years. It was a new guy that cut it and he just totally ignored Zac's request and buzzed it all off. Today I felt sick a lot. I ate 2 big breakfasts and finally felt a little better. I also dragged myself to the gym, but my walk was significantly slower than it use to be. I felt like that treadmill belt was dragging me. It actually did end up giving me more energy though. I didn't take pictures at all this week, so I loaded a video of Cooper laughing at Zac acting like a goober.

Fun on the mountain

This morning we woke up to get ready for sunday school and I felt yucky. Yep, I think the morning sickness is slowly creeping its way in. So we went to teach s.s and then left early to head to Sparta for our family reunion. I love this reunion when it is up on the mountain. Two years ago I went and it rained and we had it at the civic center. So I was happy that it was a gorgeous and breezy day today. Of course as always most of our time was spent making pictures. So out of the 840 something odd pictures that I made, I picked 15 lucky ones for the blog.

Cooper took a ride in Sadie's wagon. He loved it!!

Nana and Papa with the boys

Papa Bruce with the boys

Papa or Granny, if you ever read my blog, I just want to tell you how much I love you both. You are an amazing Christian couple and I am so blessed to be a part of the Vaughn family.

Is this not the most precious innocent face in the world!!!! Ahhhh Finn, you are a ham

This is Cooper with my cousin Zach. Cooper reached for Zach and then gave him the biggest hugs. hahah. It's funny who Cooper chooses to cling to. They are such a pretty pair.....

Cowboy party

Tonight Cooper and I went to Tripp's first birthday party. It was a cowboy theme and we played outside and ate and listened to the guys play guitar. I brought Cooper home looking like a true little boy, he was all dirt from crawling in the grass. It was a fun party.
As always, Cooper entertained the room

He loved riding the saddle. He would yell at me and smile!!!

DS Playdate

This morning we met for our monthly family playdate. We had a lot of families show up and we had some new faces as well. Cooper spit up twice and it was wretched. I couldn't even get his bib near me it smelled so bad. We stayed about an hour and a half until Cooper got tired and I got hungry.
