Anniversary :)

Our anniversary was so relaxed yesterday! It was my day off (wonderful!). I took B to pre-school & then went home & did some laundry and picked up some stuff around the house. I went back to pick up B went pre-school was over & took him for a haircut (mostly just needed cleaning up around the edges). We went to McDonalds for lunch. I am not a fan of McDonalds, but Brycen loves it! If ya'll could only hear him say it! I think now he can actually say McDonalds properly, but he has said it his own way for so long it has stuck around our house! He says Mickeldongals.... :) I promise, it's cute! Anyway, after Mickeldongals and our chicken nuggets we went home and played outside (such a beautiful day!). I loved having the windows open all day and the house being comfortable! It took B forever to go down for a nap yesterday, which stressed me out b/c Abby was taking his pictures at five! He finally did go to sleep and took a little nap... Ryan was able to go w/ us to get B's pictures done, and I was glad about that. Abby does such a wonderful job! Usually getting pictures done stress me out and I always think the photographers are mad or snippy w/ Brycen (hey is 3, he doesn't like to sit still!). Abby was GREAT, which I already knew, but it was just relaxing, not stressful! I can't wait to see her finished product! I'm sure they will be adorable! After the pictures we went to Mason's to eat... we were laughing and said we'll probably still be eating there on our 50th wedding anniversary! After Mason's we went by Scoops for some ice cream! YUM! So, nothing too big, or extravagant for our anniversary, but honestly, it was just how I like it! Quiet & relaxing w/ my two favorite boys! Normally Ryan and I go out to eat and to a movie to celebrate (something we don't do too often), but last wk/end was Turkey Trot and this wk/end I'll be gone for my cousins wedding... We decided not to get anything for eachother this year (as in presents) and to put that money to stuff we want to do around the house. Neither of us need or really wanted anything so it worked out!

Oh yes, and last night, I felt the baby! I started feeling Brycen around week 16, and at my last appt. the dr. asked if I had felt any movement yet (i was only 10 weeks!), I thought she was nuts! But she explained that this time I know what to look for and since I'm thinner it makes it easier to feel things so it might be sooner this time. I still kind of thought she was crazy and didn't give it much thought! In the last week around bedtime I thought I was feeling some "flutters", but still thought I was just imagining something! I never said anything or gave it much thought! But last night, it was the baby for sure! It felt like a little fishie swimming in my belly & you could feel it from the outside if you tried hard enough! Ryan got to feel it and so did Brycen! Brycen thought it was just amazing! I'm 13 and 1/2 weeks so I guess it's really only a couple weeks before I felt Brycen, it just seems a lot earlier! This pregnancy (after the nausea passed) seems to be going so fast! And if anyone has any boy name suggestions, we're open! We still can't decide on a boy name (already have the girl one picked!). I would like to stay w/ the Br theme (the girl name follows this), but Ryan doesn't really care, so all suggestions are welcome :) We can't agree on a name!
