So it's been a LONG time since I wrote a blog...
Abby had her 2 month appointment and weighed close to 14 lbs. She was sleeping til 5 am for the longest time and going to bed around 9. The past week or so we've put her down (well Seth has) around 8pm, right after SJ goes to bed, and she's been sleeping til 8:30...one day til 9!!! So WONDERFUL! She's sitting in her bumbo and holds herself better everyday. I can't believe she's almost 3 months old already! I tried to put her in her crib for naps last week and almost lost my mind. She was fighting me pretty good and barely slept each day.So I gave that up quickly. Then this week she fell asleep rocking in my arms and I took her up and she slept in her crib for 45 minutes. I did that 2 days. Today, I did the same thing and we're going on 2 HOURS! Seth is also in his crib and we're going on 45 minutes of them taking naps simultaneously...which is why I have time to write this!
Seth peed and pooped on the potty this week too. First time on my Birthday and he pooped twice and peed 4 times. The next day he did it again and then Wednesday he went all day with a dry diaper. He pooped in it but no pee. Then Thursday he only used the potty once, and today, after starting to pee on the floor, I put him on the potty and that's been it for today. Oh well...
We've been playing outside a lot, and Seth LOVES it. The weather has been mid to upper 80's a few days this week...so I've been in heaven too...I love it! I like the cool, windows open weather too, but summer...I can't wait for summer!!! Big Seth and I took SJ out this past Sunday morning to play while we had some bloody mary's and Abby napped. It was wonderful....we've planned to continue this as long as we can...Bloody Mary Sundays...
Not too much else going on...super busy with work and just LOVING this time of year and feeling so blessed with my little family...Seth and I tell each other every day how lucky we are...we don't taken any of this for granted, we're so thankful.

Birth of Baby Girl Greer!!
2 weeks and 1 day old and just now posting her first blog. And rushing through it at that, but I guess that's how things are going to be for a while...a blur...rushing. But I still want to take it all in. That's one of my big reasons for this blog. I know it allows people to see whats going on in our lives, but not having time to do a baby book or scrap book right now, this allows me to keep some kind of record of whats going on. My thought is one day I can print all these blogs out and maybe make a family book instead of baby books.
So, my due date for baby girl was 1/11, I was none too happy when that date came and went. At my doctor's appointment that week , Dr. Guckes didn't expect me to last a few more days. He said he'd put in for me to be induced Monday the 18th, but I could "laugh at him" if I made it that long. Guess what, Friday I got the phone call I was to be induced Monday morning at 12:45 AM!!! So yes, I made it, Sunday night I got my shower at 9pm and dried my hair, put on make up(yes to go give birth...that's one of my simple pleasures and I took advantage of it knowing it would be a while before I could take my time again!). Seth was sick with a sore throat and fever so he laid on the couch and we watched TV until my mom came over to spend the night with little Seth so we could GO HAVE A BABY! It was strange to drive us to the hospital (since Seth wasn't feeling good) so I could have a baby...how ironic huh? So they set us up in my room, which I walked to (again weird) and by 2am I had a pitocin drip. I couldn't sleep so I watched Nick at Nite:) By 4ish I could tell the contractions were getting more intense but then they slacked off. Around 5 am the nurse told me the anestehesiologist was going into surgery and if I wanted an epidural I needed to do it now because he would be unavailable for 1-1 1/2 hours. I was ok. At 5:50 I felt a contraction then almost a pop in my stomach, then a trickle. I thought my water had broke, so I made Seth call the nurse. She checked and said she didn't think so, I had another contraction and told her "no I think it did." She checked again, yep sure enough! So she left and called the Dr. By 6:15 I told Seth YOU'VE GOT TO CALL THAT NURSE and find out when I can get an epidural. Contractions were coming VERY quickly and VERY intense. I'll never forget the shirt Seth had on (his custom Steelers Shirt) because I used that Steelers Logo to focus on during each contraction. I remember telling him "I don't want to do it like this!" The nurse said the anesthesioligist was still in surgery and I had to wait...AHHHHHH!!!! So by 6:30 he was in my room thank goodness, along with the doctor. AHHH the relief of that epidural...so WONDERFUL! The doctor checked me (first time that I was checked) and I was 8 cm. So by 7:45ish I was ready to push...8:11am, baby Abigail Johanna Greer was born. They told me she was huge and would give little Seth a run for his money as far as birth weight. On the scale she went...and....9lbs 8oz!! How did I have a baby that big? So then the doctor said "what are you going to name her?" To which I answered "beast".

SJ's First Birthday and Thanksgiving
Happy Birthday baby boy! Can I still say that??? Baby boy? He's already 1! It's truly amazing how quickly a year can go by. We celebrated Andrews birthday on Saturday the 21st (his actual birthday) and Seth' s on Sunday (his actual birthday). It was fun to see how they reacted or I guess their lack of reaction to things. SJ was totally uninterested in any of his gifts or cards. He plays with some of his cards now and the next day he ONLY played with his new things. Too funny. He was unsure of his cake too. He looked at it for a while then put his hand in it, and left it there, then he finally put some in his mouth. I tried to make his little cake look like a cupcake so in order to build up the center, I used an ENTIRE tub of icing...can we say sugar rush!!!
The following week we made the trek down to Clemson, SC for Thanksgiving with my cousins, grandmother, and family. The 9 hour trip took 12 hours, and SJ did a good job. I sat in the back part of the time and daddy did the rest of the time. We had a great time, SJ had his first Thanksgiving meal too!!! We gave him a taste of everything and of course there was nothing he didn't like. Oh yeah, this is where I should mention that on our drive down we hit some traffic right in front of a Raising Cane's Restaurant!!! So of course we stopped and SJ also had his first experience with Cane's strips and Texas Toast. Again, he loved it!!!
In the midst of all this he's gotten his first little cold. Poor little guy with his snotty nose! He was a little fussy, and needy, and cuddly through it but he's back on track now. Our newest thing...watching Ni Hao Kai Lan in the morning when he wakes up in mommy and daddy's bed and then after his afternoon nap laying in our bed again and watching some of Wow Wow Wubzy. If Nick Jr. is on - he's a happy kid...he especially loves moose and zee!!!!
Next post will be our Santa experience...I wonder how he'll react!!?!?!!? I'm not expecting very well. If Santa were female I'm sure he'd do fine, but he doesn't do as well with male strangers!

A Day I'll ALWAYS remember
So I'm sitting in the living room, some of the Christmas decorations up, with a pregnant belly...again, and thinking about this day last year. I remember more about this day than any other day I think in my life...
I remember waking up in the morning, sending Seth off to work, making Cinnamon Rolls and listening to Kidd Kraddick on the internet while I uploaded Jimmy and Becky's Dewey Beach pictures to Shutterfly when I my mom called me to tell me Keri was in labor and asked if I could watch Emmy til Mike got off work. I got myself together, went over, picked her up and brought her to my house. I wanted to do something fun with her so we decided we'd start decorating my house for Christmas. It wasn't even Thanksgiving yet, but me being a week past my due date, I thought I better do it now. So we did, and it started snowing...so we went outside and took my camera and we took pictures of each other. We caught snowflakes on our tongues. Mike picked Emmy up, and I ate my lunch, cleaned up our mess and then got in the shower. I even remember that I painted my nails, plucked my eyebrows, and trimmed my bangs. Then off to the hospital to see how Keri was doing. I met my mom, Gilly, and Statia in the hall and then went back to Keri's room. I got to see my nephew be born with mom, Statia, Amanda, and Aunt Donna. I remember Aunt Donna telling me I was glowing, that she thought it wouldn't be long til' my little boy would be here. Seth came up to hospital and met Andrew, and off we went to get some of our last minute things at Babies R Us and then dinner at Fudruckers. As we left Babies R Us it started snowing again. I had a big ole hamburger, fries, and a chocolate milkshake for dinner...Seth called his sister when we left the restaurant and when we got home I remember him laying on the floor with only the Christmas lights on talking to his friend Mickey. It was near 9pm and I told him I was exhausted and going to bed. Around midnight we both woke up to a rattling paper sound, we searched til we found the paper under the bed. It was then that I decided to go sleep in the chair so I'd be comfortable. About an hour later, I was in labor. and the next day my little boy was born.
Sitting here with only the Christmas lights on now reminds me of our first month home, napping in the afternoon together, watching Christmas shows and movies with only the Christmas lights on and then daddy coming home and hanging out with him the rest of the night. That was just the start of this whirlwind of a year. A whirlwind, full of wonderful memories. We are so blessedto have such a wonderful, happy little boy. Every night either Seth or I can't help but tell the other "I love that boy." I can't believe that before we know it, we'll have another little baby to give our love too. Seth and I have come so far, from a long distance relationship, dealing with Law School, the Bar, moving 1/2 way across the US, buying a house, marriage and now parenthood. God certainly blessed our broken road...and continues to bless us every day...

Exciting Weekend
I say exciting, maybe I mean crazy, fun, hormonal...
Thursday Seth and Seth flew to New Orleans. Big Seth is in a wedding this weekend and Grandmama and Aunt Steph drove in to pick up SJ. He got to spend the weekend with his Louisiana Grandparents and Aunt and cousins. Maybe he'll come back with an accent! I know daddy would love that! With them leaving, the house has been SOOOO quiet, and that makes me sad. It's been a while since I cried as hard as I did Thursday. But each day has gotten a little easier. Friday I FINALLY got my hair cut, then ran a few errands and had lunch with mom for my birthday (a little late - but still great!) Then we ran around a little and I got fabric to make curtains for the new baby's room and fabric to cover the glider. I guess that's my new project! Friday night I put up new blinds in the kitchen and Saturday morning I put them up in the baby's room. Tomorrow I'll do the ones in Seth's room! Saturday when I got home from teaching I was surprised by a baby shower!!! A little dejavu? Yes - and very strange the whole baby girl thing is still so surreal to me. You would think it would be more real by now but it's not! We got so many cute girly outfits and a double stroller - which I can't wait to put together. We got the cutest sign "a ballerina sleeps here" from my aunt and cousin and my sister gave me the baby quilt that my grandmother made in 1985 for a neighbor. She had given it back to Keri when Emily was born and now I have it for this baby girl. So special!!! Tonight my mom and I did a little shopping. So...with my busy weekend on my feet...the swelling has begun in my hands and feet! Woo hoo!!! But I only have 9 weeks to go so I can't complain too much!
Seth seems to be having a great time in New Orleans for the wedding hanging out with old highschool buddies from his hometown...not getting much sleep...but having fun. I know he probably would like to have had more sleep since we don't have to get up with Seth...maybe for his birthday next weekend:) It's his big 3-0 and I think that means you require more sleep!
SJ seems to be doing good with everyone in Vidalia - which I'm so thankful for. I was worried that he would not do well since he doesn't see them often. And of course I worried, but he's sleeping good and they said they're all having a good time with him. So I'm so thankful that he had this opportunity to spend the time with them and that they were able to spend the time with him too. I hope they took pictures!
To update what SJ is doing now...he eats everything we eat (minus the sweets that mommy craves) and he's walking! He started walking a week after he turned 11months. I'm so thankful because he's not exactly light as a feather! He's so sweet, giving kisses, and hugs, and his "so big" and "fishy lips". His smile makes my day...
I think its good to spend time away sometimes because it makes you realize what you have. I love my boys so much and don't know what I would do without them. I HAVE enjoyed my time this weekend doing things that are hard to do with a 1 year old, but I am ready to have my boys home and get back to our schedule!
Seth loves my countdowns...so here's my latest! 1 week til daddy's 30th bday, 2 weeks til SJ's 1st birthday, 2 1/2 weeks til Thanksgiving, 3 weeks til December, 3 weeks left of teaching before maternity leave, 1 month til Christmas, our Louisiana family visiting Maryland, and then 2 weeks til baby girl is due to be born!!!

24 weeks and 10 months
Seth is 10 months old today!! I can't believe how quickly time has passed!! Seth and I were talking tonight and it's just so much fun to come home and see him play. Just watching him...it's amazing!!! He's getting close to walking...I think he still just thinks it's easier to crawl - cause he can really get after it! He definitely knows "no" now...he shakes his head no quite often. Hope that doesn't mean we tell him no too much!! He eats almost anything we do - feeds himself finger food...says Dada, Mama...it's awesome! He loves to chew things...anything, the carpet on the stairs, his crib, furniture...doesn't matter to him, he'll lean over and try to eat anything!! We started laying our head down on a pillow and he would come over and we thought he was giving us kisses...today we found out, he's trying to bite our nose!! Little stinker! He has a new babysitter too. It's so nice to be able to let him nap if I have to go to work and the babysitter comes here. The first day she watched him I had a text with his picture when I got out of work. Of course hormonal me cried, but she immediately got bonus points from me:) Seth really seems to like her too...he ignored me when I left today because they were ready to play. I'm glad he's taking to her so well...
We also found out we're having a little girl. So SJ will have a little sister! So exciting...
She still has no name. She has her crib and dresser, and bedding set...but yep, no name! I feel huge this time, loving my sweets, and gaining the weight to show it...is it bad to want to diet when I'm preggo? I think I just need to slow down with what I'm eating! Baby girl is a mover too...and I already feel elbows and knees going across my belly...tickles!!!
This fall is definitely going to fly by...
This weekend we are cleaning out the basement for the yard sale and to move the old bedroom furniture from the nursery out. The following weekend is our community yard sale, then the next weekend is a HUGE craft show, then Fall Festival with Friends, then Seth and I get a relaxing night at the beach without SJ!!! Thanks to one of Seth's coworkers!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you! Then it's Halloween!! ALREADY!!! Can'tsay what SJ will be...it will be TOO CUTE though...Then it's November...Seth and SJ are going to Louisiana for Seth to be in a wedding and SJ to visit with Grandmama, PawPaw, Aunt Steph etc...and mommy gets a weekend to herself...happy and sad at the same time. Then Daddy turns 30, then SJ turns 1!!! Then Thanksgiving, then DECEMBER!!! 1 month til baby girl is here...oh my oh my!!! Just another countdown. I can't wait for all the excitement of this fall and winter, I can't wait to try ot just take it all in and not rush it...things will be SUPER busy come January!!!

How do you measure, measure a.....month!!!
Wow, I was reading our last blog and realized how much has happened since then. Really it's only been a month, but WOW, how things change. Since last month SJ has learned that he doesn't like to be told "no" he's figured out how to pull up, and crawl. He's eating more solid foods, fruit pieces, puffs, cheerios, green beans etc. He's also got 8 teeth and now it looks like his "fangs" are coming in...they look like they might be coming in up high, like mine were as a child, and he's been really fussy, so I guess we'll see!!! He's a mad man sometimes, and just goes goes goes!! It's a lot of fun, but I've had to clear off everything in his reach. I was hoping to be able to tell him no, HA....right!!! He IS learning no, but he doesn't like it and he tests us every time.
Other news is that I'm pregnant again. 16 weeks today! I'm due January 11th, but hoping for an early baby to get that tax break again!!! Gotta take what we can get right!!! Also, Seth's family is planning a trip to MD right after Christmas since his brother and his family are coming to the states and I won't be able to fly, and there's no way I'm gonna let Seth leave me when I only have 2 weeks til my due date!!! But how exciting if they could meet the new little one then! Really though, we're happy as long as the baby is healthy.
So things are changing, not only does it look like we're cleaning out because of SJ getting into everything, but now we have to clear out the spare bedroom, and start thinking about another nursery! We're out of bedrooms after this one, so we have to figure out how to not get pregnant again right away ;)
It IS hard to get in the baby mindset again, but the more I think about it and it all sinks in, the more excited I get. I really can't wait to have another little one, and I really don't mind being pregnant, I can't wait to feel all the little movements again, and as long as it goes as well as last time, I'll be good to go! And I'd say so far so good!! I didn't even know I was preggo til I was 11 1/2 weeks along! Things will be tough, tougher than the first go round with chasing SJ and taking care of an infant, but then I think at how quickly time went by with SJ...I mean he's already doing so much and it hasn't even been a year! So...How do you measure a year? For the last 2 years we've been measuring by smiles, tears, pregancies, babies, and everything that goes along with it...
