We just found out that we are pregnant again and we are super excited for baby G # 2. I know my due date will be in May sometime however I am not sure when. I have my first appt with the nurse on Sept 21 at 9am. Then probably an ultrasound around 8-10 weeks. (Hopefully I can get it sooner!) We have told a few people but decided to go public kind of early. (Fingers crossed) We can't wait for the new addition and for Jamison to have another brother or sister. Also starting this week I will be working 4 8 hour days a weeks versus 5 days to help with the needs of our family. It is great that I have an employer that is willing to work with me!

In other news Jamison has been doing great and is playing with everything and getting into everything. He is pretty excited for the new addition but really won't know what it means until the baby is here. He weighed 16lbs 8 oz for his one year visit and he is lower than the growth chart for weight. If he keeps going on this trend we will be referred to an endocrinologist just to make sure that nothing is wrong. The doctor doesn't think that it is anything, but she would rather be safe than sorry. I feel the same way. He is very active and eats all the time. He will eat anything that is put in front of him. It is so nice to not have a picky eater. We are so fortunate. Well I hope everyone has a great week and will keep you posted with updates!

This weekend we had Jamison's first birthday party! It was a construction theme and we had cone hats and Construction Pals on the plates and napkins. We also had sack lunches for supper. We bought charlie boys, which are kind of like taverns or loose meats, grapes, chips, baked beans, cake and ice cream.

We had a ton of family and friends at our house and Jamison got a lot of toys, clothes, and money for his college. Earlier in the day we went swimming at Steve and Roxanne's and it was a blast like usual. It was such a great weekend and it was really good to see Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Bill, Aunt Dana and Uncle Aaron, and cousin Kaden! The whole weekend was a blast and we are sad that it is over with. Here are some pictures of his birthday http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157624656556811/show/

First Birthday

Today is Jamison's first birthday! Mommy took the day off and we got a few things done for his big party this weekend. Then we went to the park and J had fun in the baby swing. Later on Steve, Roxanne, and Liz came over and we have burgers, beans, and potato salad. I had also made cupcakes and Jamison loved his cupcake. We got a video, however I will need to post that later.

Mommy and Daddy can't believe it has been a year since his birth...it has been one of the most amazing years of my life. We couldn't imagine our life without Jamison! Happy First Birthday Jamison!

We are getting super excited for his first birthday which is only a couple weeks away. We are also hoping that our master bath remodel is done before then since my family will be coming! We had some pipes crack underneath our masterbath back in June and we have decided to remodel the masterbath since the floor will already be tore out. It is a huge project and we can't wait to have our masterbath back! Well I hope everyone has a great week!

My 30th birthday

I realize it has been awhile since I have posted something so now is better than ever. I had my 30th b-day yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. In the morning Andy made me breakfast and had the table set with beautiful flowers and then I opened up a coach purse. That day I got a manicure and pedicure and then Jamison and I went swimming at Grandma Roxanne's house with Aunt Liz and Great Grandma Thelma. Later that night we went to El Fredo's with the whole fam and topped the night off with cold stone creamery cupcakes. The video of Jamison is him eating some vanilla cake. We wanted to do a trial run for his first birthday and I thought that my birthday would be a great time for him to try it! He went nuts and loved the cake. He shoveled all of it into his mouth! It was super cute! Here are pics from my b-day http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157624430279053/show/

Since it has been awhile I will update you. In June Jamison had to go the ER because his daycare lady gave him some eggs and we found out that he had an allergy just like Andy. That is why we wanted to try the cake first before his first birthday cuz I didn't want him to have an allergic reaction on his first birthday.

Also another development is that Jamison is walking! He started walking at 10 months and now walks 90% of the time. It is so cute because when he wants to quit walking he just lands on his bottom!

Jamison's eating schedule now is that he has about 3 bottles of formula one in the morning, afternoon, and before he goes to bed at night. He also eats meals about 3-4 times a day. He will eat anything and is not picky. His fave foods are cheddar cheese rice cakes, cottage cheese, cheese, chicken, sausage, pepperoni, blueberries, vanilla cake to name a few. As long as there is food in front of him he will eat it!

Jamison also sleeps through the night. He goes to bed around 8pm and wakes up at about 6:30-7am. He doesn't get fussy very often but right now he is teething so he hasn't been feeling the best. He has his bottom teeth in and is getting his top teeth in right now.

We are getting super excited for his first birthday and it is just around the corner. It is hard to believe that it has been a year. It has been one of the most amazing years of my life and I am so happy to have Jamison in our lives. It is just the greatest thing to see life through a child's eyes. Well I will definitely be posting his first birthday pics soon.

Jamison also has 2 teeth coming in on the bottom. He is still trying to stand on his own but not walking yet. He has also said DaDa. I am trying to teach him mama but it hasn't worked yet. Well I just thought I would post something super quick! Have a good week!

9 months old!

I can't believe that Jamison is 9 months! He has been the most amazing thing in Andy and I's lives and we couldn't imagine life without him.

We had our first mother's day together and Andy, Liz, Roxanne, and I ran the Race for the Cure 5k. It was a great time. After that we went to Thelma's and had a brunch. It was the best mother's day ever.

In other news Jamison is almost standing on his own! He stands by himself for a few seconds at a time and is walking behind and around things. He is starting to open and shut doors and he said Dada for the first time! He is such a happy baby! He is also starting to eat more solid foods like rice cakes and graduates puffs and yogurt melts. He still has a lot of formula (about 4 bottles a day) but he also eats 3 meals a day. He loves to get into everything including our pantry and cabinets.

We have also had another recent change. Andy has accepted a new job with Mid American Energy as a computer programmer and he is looking forward to the new opportunity.

If you want to look at some more pics of mother's day, our minneapolis trip that we took in April to see Dana, Aaron, and Kaden, and recent pics here is the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157624086431630/show/with/4613185775/.
