Pregnancy #1:  22 week belly 

  

Pregnancy #2:  22 week belly

Thanks to the wonderful medicine, zofran, I wasn't nearly as sick with #2 as with #1, I'm about 8 pounds heavier at Week 22 than I was with #1...  I was still pretty sick with #2 but was able to eat.  Guess the extra weight would be a negaitve from the zofran!! Ha!!  But I'm sure Baby #2 is loving it!

Pregnancy #1:  BOY!

 

Pregnancy #2:  GIRL!!

Pregnancy #1:  Face at 20 weeks

Pregnancy #2:  Face at 20 weeks

I think these two may look pretty similar, but if you've seen pics of my family, that isn't surprising!

Quotes and Favorites

I can’t believe Alec’s already 2 ½ years old!! Time certainly does fly when you have little ones running around the house! It has definitely NOT been the terrible twos for us! I think Alec’s worst time was around 18 months. It’s so much easier having a kiddo that can understand you, communicate with you and follow directions (most of the time)! I’m loving it!

Crazy Kids

Not much has gone on in the Robinson house since the beginning of the year, but here are a few random pics from the past few weeks.

Alec playing with Riley, Drew and Katherine on top of his new bunks!

See previous post on the bunks! ha!

Playing "guns", I think Alec is outnumbered!

This is Alec's room in progress, before the beds were taken down and carried back to Walmart!!  After only a few laughs and jokes from the Walmart employees, I have my money back and more furniture will be on it's way soon (from a better store, of course)!!

New Years Eve sparklers with Dad!

My baby LOVES cupcakes!

Yes, we've even had one day that was warm enough to play in the house!

Alec was helping me wash Christmas needles from the tree off of the back porch.

Packed and headed to Nana's!  He loves his suitcase from Nana and his back pack from Mimi!

He even helped pack by adding a bowl of cereal and a matchbox car to his bag, guess he thought Nana wasn't cooking!

Fun bath in mom's big tub with his buddy!  I had a nice mess to clean up after this one!!  Amanda, I don't know how you manage two little boys in the tub at night, I had water EVERY WHERE! 

HIGH FIVE!

Movie time with Drew and Riley!  Alec's cool daddy set up the projector in Alec's room (notice this is just a mattress on the floor! ha!! No bed yet!) and the kids got to watch Toy Story 3 on the WHOLE wall for bedtime!

Little Sis

It's official, we're having a girl!!

We found out this morning that Alec's getting a little sister!!  We are so thankful that God has blessed us with another healthy child and can't wait to meet Baby Girl Robinson!!  We were really hoping for another boy at first, but lately, we really didn't care, as long as it was healthy!!



Furniture Mishap!

I am definitely the “saver” and not the “spender” in our house!!  Needless to say, a month or so ago, I got a bonus at work so I decided it was time to buy Alec’s big boy furniture.  I’d be paying cash for my “big” purchase.  Alec had slept on a full over twin bunk on our last vacation and loved it, so I started hunting.  Well being my money saving self, I picked one out at Walmart.com (don’t laugh) along with the matching dresser and ordered them!!  First of all, they came in huge boxes with about 1 million pieces.  That was fine, I’d gotten a deal!  Right?!?  We were very happy with the bunks, except for the fact that the top bunk wasn’t quite high enough and it was a little claustrophobic while laying on the bottom bunk!  I loved the color and Alec thought they were cool.  However, from the get go, the dresser was definitely not top grade material.  More like the cheap material that you get from Walmart computer desks…  One of the back legs was a little loose from my arranging the furniture, but I thought it’d be fine, I got a deal so it didn’t matter!!  We’ll Alec’s room is now completely done as of two weeks ago and he’s loving it!!  Mimi came over yesterday and wanted to plug in Alec’s light up aquarium on top of his dresser.  As she scooted the dresser out to plug it in, two of the legs completely collapsed!! Whoops!!  Dustin comes into the bedroom, fit to be tied that I bought “WALMART CRAP”.  He’s the spender in our family, but I must admit, this wouldn’t have happened had he been the one that picked out the furniture.  Needless to say, over much contemplation over how in the heck we were going to return a dresser to Walmart, the dresser and the BED are in the back of the truck and we’re meeting at Walmart shortly to get a refund.  I was happy with the bed, but I don’t think I’ll find a dresser that I think matches enough.  We’ll be going to a real furniture store this time and getting some furniture that will last!!  I’m sure this story isn’t over, as I can’t imagine what kind of ordeal it’s going to be when we pull up with a truck load of furniture at Walmart and ask for a refund!!  So if you happen to be at Walmart tonight, please ignore the rednecks that are returning the truckload of furniture…..  To be continued!
