Aside from MV, we also celebrate Mama, Nana, BB and Pap’s birthdays in January!
Brad and I had a lunch date one weekend and did some shopping. Fun for the whole family. Ha. On my actual birthday, I was able to eat a cupcake for dinner without getting sick. It’s the little things. 🙂
MV went to Thomson on our birthday weekend to stay with BB and Pap. We had lunch there on Sunday to celebrate.
Here I am at 19 weeks.
And 20 weeks
With MV at 20 weeks. I lost so much weight with her, you could hardly tell I was pregnant at this point. Crazy!
We had Nana and Papa over for Nana’s birthday. MV played ring around the rosey.
and all her birthday wishes!
singing happy birthday in the car one morning. poor thing thinks every day is someone’s birthday now. Haha.
saying thank you after opening a gift from my cousin
Mary Van turned two on January 12. On her actual birthday, she celebrated with cupcakes with her class at daycare. I couldn’t make it to celebrate with them. In the future I will do breakfast so I can be there!
Papa came to visit and brought a Mary Van-sized Minnie Mouse.
On January 23, we had her birthday party. And it snowed! She had a blast playing the little that stuck.
The theme for her family birthday party was ‘Cute as a Button.’ I made some buttons out of ribbon and paper plates as a backdrop for her pictures.
Due to the snow, the Pennsylvania 5, Atlanta 7 and Athens 2 couldn’t make it. We missed them!
Delicious cake made by Carrie Wolfe
We had cheese, snack mix and an edible arrangement.
Trying for the perfect shot. 😉
This Bailey Boys outfit is so stinking cute. She was not a fan of all the bows though. Haha.
We also revealed the gender of baby #2. This is the blue team
And the pink team.
Mary Van pulled open a Pinata full of blue kisses and baby items. It’s a boy!!
We will welcome Worth William Shingler in early June.
BB’s maiden name is Bloodworth (hence Worth) and Papa is William (Bill).
Since finding out in October that I was pregnant with number 2, we have laid pretty low. I’m not nearly as sick as last time, thanks to new meds, but still pretty weak and nauseous.
Thanksgiving lunch with our babe at daycare!
Thanksgiving was a low-key affair at our house with the VanSants because Nana and Papa were out of town and Adi was due to have back surgery. Looking back, I don’t guess I took one picture!
MV was obsessed with Santa this year. She didn’t even really understand what he did but just saw him everywhere!
Because I was sick I didn’t do much decorating or taking of cute pictures. Of course, my main subject was not very cooperative. This was after Polar Express pj day at daycare.
BB and Pap bought this large storage/playhouse and converted the front half into a kitchen for her. Too cute!
Complete with carpet and curtains!
BB, Pap and Uncle Levi came over on Christmas Eve for our traditional seafood gumbo and spent the night for MV’s Christmas morning. She got a lot of fun things – kitchen, books, clothes and toys.
Hello?
We then went to the Shinglers for Christmas dinner with the whole crew!
Love Christmas cards. Our decorations may have stayed up well into January since they went up so late.
I got her this precious pea coat but she did not want anything to do with it. Maybe because it was 80 degrees outside.
Ditto with this precious bear cowl BB made for her
The only time she has been interested in TV -frozen.
So sweet laying with Banjo and playing with her barn animals. Her PB chair was a Christmas gift from Nana and Papa.
She loved to run over everyone’s feet with her old-school popper.
We both donned our new rain boots to go see how high the river was on New Year’s Eve.
Really high!
We went to the Bowen’s to celebrate and watch football. MV and I came home after the first game.
