Sea World

Yesterday, Gavin and I went to Sea World with our friends Kate and Charlie. It was so much fun! Gav and Char played so great together and had a blast looking at the turtles and dolphins, playing on the blue mat, and cuddling with Elmo. Gavin was OBSESSED with Elmo. He was high-pitched-squealing with delight and kept waving and saying "Hi" to him as we approached. He hugged and kissed him and even turned around and sat in Elmo's lap, which made him sit too. I was dying of laughter. What a trooper that Elmo was ;) It's so fun to hang out with other momma's and their kiddos.







I can't  believe my little guy is getting so big! I feel like he was a newborn just yesterday! I took him to the duck pond and park last week and he wanted to wear my hat..does he not look like a big kid here? It sort of freaks me out! I just love him so much and I want to keep him at this age/stage forever. He's not allowed to become a middle-schooler! (lol-I taught 6th grade for 4 years). He is so much fun! He is understanding so many things and surprises us every day. He loves calling dada on the phone and telling him all sorts of hilarious things:)

On Monday, we had fun playing outside and making oatmeal cookies for the first time. (Did I meantion that I LOVE job-sharing??) Gav was so funny..eating the batter the WHOLE time. He isn't the cleanest cooking assisstant;) but he's cute so i'll let it slide. As he watched the cookies bake he kept saying, "Oh, it's hot??!" So funny. Even a day later when I gave him a cookie as a snack he said, "Oh..eees hot?" as he pulled his hand away. His memory is so good!

The little Bun is doing good! Can't wait for our first ultra-sound one week from today!! I feel that my belly is starting to pooch out a little (Ryann even pointed it out to me) so i'm getting a little nervous that their might be two. Wowzers. The anticipation is killing me! haha

Halloween & a lil Pumpkin

This Halloween was the BEST. We got to carve and paint pumpkins, dress up our lil man, have friends and family over for trick or treating and a bbq, and thanks to Aunt Ryann~ we also painted some CUTE bootie cheeks. Best. Halloween. Ever:)

Gavin & Rylie

 Sooo MUCH fun!

Gav was hilarious when we took him to his first house. He handed the Kit Kat back to our neighbor Mike, blabbering to him (he wanted Mike to open it). He started to tense up and cry when we put the piece of candy in his bag. Hahah..he wanted every piece right then and there for each house we went to. He was so cute and Rylie was even cuter saying, "Trickers or Treats" when each new door would open. Melted our hearts.

Cutest monkey ever. He kept saying "ooh, oooh, oooh." and surprisingly he kept his monkey head on the whole night!! We were so excited because the practice runs didn't go as well. hah!

Then...a few days later on November 4th I found out that we will be adding a new lil pumpkin to the Martin family!!

:)

We are SOOOO excited! I took the test and when "pregnant" popped up I said "Yessssssss, Thank you God!!" I had to leave for work since it was Friday, so I left the test on the counter with a note to husband that said, "Can't you just see me with (another) baby on the way??" Those are some lyrics from our wedding song Then, by Brad Paisley. He was so happy and sent me some funny and sweet texts when he got the message. I love that guy. "Good work babe..we're a little P!" haha

Since I had a miscarriage a little over two months ago, we are very nervous and want to wait to tell our families. Last time we told everyone right away and then I miscarried and had to talk to everyone about it A LOT and it made it harder. I have been feeling pretty good with this little bun, except today I have been super nauseous. Gavin and I make choc. chip cookies for the first time and I was so dizzy/almost puking the whole time:)

We go next Wednesday (Nov. 23rd) for our first ultrasound to make sure everything is progressing the way it should. I will be 6 weeks and 6 days so we should see a strong heartbeat for sure. I actually miscarried a set of twins, so we are anxious to find out how many are in there this time around. "They" say that our chances go up to 80% for having another set. Saaaaaay What??? omg. That would be crazy. Right now we are just praying for a healthy heart and for the little bun to stick in there really tight!  Gavin Dean is going to be a big brother!! We are so excited.

Hubs took this belly shot the day after I took the positive pregnancy test:) I want to have before, during, and after pics to look at this time around. Yay for Baby Martin #2!! We love you so much already!  See you next Wednesday baby bun <3
