Boys Boys Boys

When I found out that baby #2 was going to be a boy - I was pretty disappointed.
I really wanted a little girl - they are so much fun! But now that
Dexter is here, I couldn't imagine not having him.

It is so much fun having two little boys!!

I look forward to them growing up together. They will be best friends!
They will play cars together, catch bugs together, play on sports teams
together, all sorts of fun 'boy' things - at least that's what I see in my mind!
But my favorite thing about my boys is that little boys love their moms
And I definitely love them too!!

Look at them....how could you not?!?

My Boys

When Aiden was a baby I took hundreds of pictures of him.
My favorite pictures of him are ones that I took when he was just 2 weeks old.
I love them so much that I had to take some similar ones with Dexter.
So, here are our boys at 2 weeks old - kindof funny!!

Dexter Riese Gibb

Our new little man is finally here!!
Dexter Riese Gibb
arrived on March 9 @3:21pm.
He weighed 7lbs 14oz - and he was 21 inches long.

We are so excited to have him as part of our family!

Update on Old Toby

I went to the doctor today for another visit and everything is still looking pretty good.
She did all of her checking and stuff and I learned that things haven't
really started moving along yet. So, she gave me two options:
1. Come back next week and check again, or
2. Schedule an induction
Of course I chose option 2 - seems much better to me! So the date is set. I am getting induced next Tuesday morning (and I mean morning - we have to be there at 6:15 - yikes!)
Anyways, I'm excited that the end is in sight, and the countdown will now be on. I'm also excited that this little guy is coming 2 weeks earlier than Aiden did - and I'm hoping that means he will be much smaller - at least a bit smaller.
I think that everything is ready. I have tons of freezer meals made, I've made quilts for Aiden and the new baby, the room is all set up, we have all of the supplies, the bags are mostly packed. All that's left is to figure out a name. We have a very short list, so I'm hoping that once we see his little face there will be a name that just seems right. That's how it was with Aiden, so we'll see I guess.

Anyways, 7 more days!! WooHoo!!

WHAT?!?!

Look at these shoes! Can you imagine seeing someone walking down the street wearing them.........or sitting next to you in church?! Yikes!
I guess they would be really warm for winter - maybe it's time for me to invest!

The Trouble With Teeth!

Both times that I have been pregnant, I have definitely had my fair share of problems with my teeth. When I was pregnant with Aiden I got 9 - YES 9 - cavities! One of them was so bad it needed a root canal treatment too. So, that was fun. This time around I have managed to make it with only 4 cavities. At least only 4 that we need to fix, and 3 that we are just going to keep an eye on. Thank goodness I am married to a dentist - and a very excellent one at that!

And I think that I probably won't be having too many babies -
or I might end up looking like this!!
YIKES!!! How would you like kissing that mouth?!?

He's Coming!

Baby Gibb #2 - more lovingly Old Toby - is coming soon! It's crazy to think that I'm only 5 weeks away from my due date. This pregnancy has been another pretty good one. It's mostly felt like it's gone by pretty fast and I've felt mostly good. My back and hips have been more sore this time around so I've been using the heating pad a lot. That seems to help quite a bit. I've also been sleeping pretty crappy for quite a long time. I wake up tons every night to go to the bathroom and to reposition myself. Luckily Aiden lets me sleep in most days.

Matt thinks I'm looking smaller this time than last time. Hopefully I am and hopefully that means I get to have a smaller baby. Aiden was 8'10" - plenty big.....I don't need any bigger. My doctor is still considering inducing me a week early and I really hope she sticks with that plan! Maybe I'll cry a lot and see what that does.
Anyways, as fun as being pregnant is, I'm getting real excited to meet my little guy! I can't wait to see how similar, but at the same time how different, he is from Aiden. His looks, his personality, everything. So hurry up Old Toby!! haha!!
