Tantrum

For months, Jim and I have been limiting our excursions to quick shopping trips and few dinners out in fear that Ryan would misbehave. He has been a little booger in public on a few occasions, but each has been short-lived.

Last night, he gave me a taste of a real 2-year-old-temper-tantrum! For twenty minutes he screamed and whaled and kicked in his crib while I stationed myself outside his door waiting for a break in the tyrade. Not an enjoyable experience. I hope tonight goes better. I know this is the circle of life and I must admit that I still probably hold the record for most stubborn tantrum.

The Great Outdoors

For months, I have been accounting my laziness and fatigue to the long grueling winter. Boy, the spring days have been wonderful. They have been filled with walks, bike rides, trips to the park, front yard basketball, trampoline baseball, drive-way golf, and picnics. What fun! What fatigue! I was hoping that the burst of spring would mean a burst of energy, but the long winter has left me out-of-shape. Of course, Jim and Ryan are rearing to go. Have fun guys.

The Verdict

We had a wonderful visit to the doctor yesterday. The technology is so fascinating and we were told the sex of the baby. See for yourself and see if you can tell.

I know the picture is hard to see. Trust me, so is the original. Dr. Sammarco is 100% convinced that the baby is a boy. Dylan, Tyler, Scott, Bo, Diego, Ralphie...we're still considering a name. Thanks for suggestions.

Bring on the Spring!

It's getting harder and harder to get Ryan to come into the house. He loves the outdoors. He finally agreed to dinner around 6 p.m. and pooped out in the middle of the 6th viewing of CARS, the movie, this week.

Wanna Make a Bet?

Heads I win. Tails I win. On Thursday, we get to have our 20 week ultrasound and hopefully will find out the sex of the baby. Let me know before Thursday if you think I am having a boy or a girl. You can e-mail me or comment on my blog.

Lucky Me!

I hope everyone remembers to wear green tomorrow and to give thanks for all of the "luck" in our lives. By sheer luck, I met the guy of my dreams who has made me the luckiest girl alive. Luckily, I love my extended family. And I swear on my Blarney Stone that I will stop sweating the small stuff. Have a great St. Patrick's Day everyone.

Spring Fever!

Oh what a beautiful day we experienced yesterday. I almost didn't publish today because I haven't uploaded any pictures of the fun we had yesterday. After work, we never even went indoors until we had a late supper. Ryan jumped on the trampoline. We spent time talking with our neighbors in the yard. We went down to the lake to watch the beginnings of the disappearing ice. We walked while Ryan wagoned and tricycled and told us to turn in the opposite direction we chose:) We ended the night with a nice barbeque dinner and later, with Jim and Ryan's favorite snack...popcorn pop pop!

I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I hope your enjoying your day.
