First visit to the Doctor today!

I had my first appointment today! Typical appointment, pee in a cup, draw some blood, ask some questions, and try to hear the heartbeat. I knew it might be too early to hear anything and I was right. My Dr. made me promise that I wouldn't freak out if we didn't hear anything, and I didn't, but I was a little disappointed. But then he asked me if I wanted to do an ultrasound to see the heartbeat and I was thinking that I'd have to make an appointment at the hospital for next week so I didn't think it was necessary. But he said we could just go down the hall and he would do it. So I got an unexpected ultrasound and I got to see the little bean! It was basically just a little blob with a heartbeat, but it was cutest little blob I've ever seen! It was great! Baby Brown #2 is going strong!

Here's my 10 week belly shot. Yes, it's already starting to grow.

Recent pictures

I know I haven't been good at all lately about updating, but things have just been very busy. I'm sure everyone understands. Here are some of the most recent pictures of Rylan just being cute.

Helping decorate the Christmas tree.


Reading in the recliner (notice the book is upside-down)
Hanging out on the couch before bed.

Trying on Mommy's shoes (Daddy didn't think this was as funny as I did!)


Posing on the coffee table
Saying hi
Sitting on a jar of Christmas balls for a pictures

Everytime I would take a picture, I would say, "1, 2, 3!" After I took the picture, he would throw his arms up and say "tee"! It was great, so I finally caught it!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful Dad! I'll call you tonight!




I know I've been terrible at updates lately, but things have been very busy and I've been overwhelmed. I'm also fighting a terrible cold right now and I feel awful. I shouldn't have come to work today, but because of the day, it would have been more difficult to plan for someone else. So, I'm here and I'm thinking about leaving sub plans for tomorrow in case I don't feel any better. In some good news, I haven't been feeling too sick lately from the pregnancy. But I'm definitely pregnant. My pants are tight, I've busted out the old maternity jeans, and the other night, I cried every time the Rockettes finished a number on the Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Special. Nick thinks it's weird and Rylan would just look at me funny. Oh, and those Hallmark commercials get me teary-eyed every time!

Well, I better get back to class. I just thought I would update you a little and let you know we're all still alive!

Why God Made Moms

WHY GOD MADE MOMS
Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

What ingredients are mothers made of ?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms & dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

Coming in July!

Guess what ...........................?
























I'M PREGNANT!!! Baby Brown #2 will be coming around July 10, 2008! We are so excited to be adding to our family and can't wait for the baby to arrive! I'm only 5 weeks along, but already feeling it. I'm much more tired than I remember being with Rylan and also feeling ickier. No puking yet, but I feel like it. Oh well, it's all worth it right?! Pray that God keeps our little bean safe, healthy, and growing over the next 9 months! (oh and it can't hurt to ask for a quick delivery too! :) )

Cheese!

Lately, Rylan loves having his picture taken! If he finds the camera, he'll either bring it to me or run away screaming because he knows I'm going to take it from him. He likes pushing the buttons too. Anyhow, so when I get ready for a picture, he will pose for me. He says "cheeeeeeeeeee"! He always makes me laugh!
