Baby Bledsoe

That's right......we have another bun in the oven. We have had two ultrasounds so far and have another one coming up on Monday! Here is a peek at our peanut at a 10 week ultrasound:

The due date is set for February 5th! Daniel is already super excited about the baby. He kisses my belly already and talks about "his baby" all the time. It's adorable! I just hope he's as excited about his baby sibling once they actually get here!

Summer 2010

It's been a hot summer so far! The Bledsoe household has been pretty uneventful lately! Daniel will be starting at Timmerman School on August 2nd. He will be reunited with his friends Katie, Jacob, Courtney and Logan!

We did have a great time with cousins Teddy, Naomi and Levi while we were in Arizona last month! Other than our special time with them, one of the highlites of that week was Carolina winning the College World Series baseball championship!

Our Saturday mornings have been spent at The Little Gym with my girlfriends Katie and Ella!


This is called his "spider walk"!







We are currently planning Daniel's 3rd Birthday party! We will be having him a baseball party at Trenholm Road Park on Sunday August 29th; complete with Cracker Jacks, Popcorn, Snow Cones and Popcorn! We are very excited about it! Pictures to come!

Other than that, we're taking some short weekend trips to Norfolk/Virgina Beach to see Leslie next weekend and hoping to go to North Myrtle beach with Dan's family for Labor day weekend!

Spring has Arrived!

Life has been busy, yet normal lately! Daniel is growing like a weed and is still "too big for his britches" most days! Here are a few things that's been happening lately:

• We are still trying to sell our house but not having much luck! I suppose it's just not in God's plan for us right now!


• Easter was really fun and Daniel and cousin Peanut got a real live bunny, named Dipper!! We had a great time dying Easter eggs (once at Grandma's and once in Hartsville) and hunting them at Me Me and Pop Pop's!!




• I have been the worst about taking pictures lately and it seems like the ones I do take are always sideways! I think it's about time to schedule another photo session!

• We're hoping to take a beach vacation for his 3rd birthday as well as a trip to Arizona to see Aunt Sarah and cousins-Naomi, Levi, and Teddy!!
  
• Daniel started his new daycare, Lollipop Lane, on Monday! He is doing very well so far eventhough we will greatly miss his old friends and teacher, Ms Wilson!

Daniel's Surgery Pics and Snow Day 2010!

Daniel's eye is looking great and he got his big boy cast off this past Tuesday! Here are a few pictures from the surgery and the BIG Snow Storm of 2010!!!

Daniel's Eye Surgery!

Daniel's surgery on Monday couldn't have gone better! The orthopedic surgeon, Dr Piehl, took approximately 7cm of tendon off of the top of his right foot while the opthamologist created a muscle for his right lid. The nurses were great! Before the doctor's got there, Daniel enjoyed riding up and down the halls on all of the cars/wagons. After surgery, we were in and out of recovery in no time! The nurse sent him home with a dose of Tylenol w/ codeine so we figured he would be OUT for a few hours at least! NOT SO MUCH! He stayed up all day long but then crashed Monday night and slept through the night! His recovery so far has been fantastic! We haven't even bothered with anymore Tylenol. He has learned to walk around on his cast like a pro! I will try and get some pictures uploaded soon! Everyone has been really great about praying for us and calling or coming by to check on Daniel! We are so grateful to have such loving friends and family!

Holidays with the Bledsoes!

This year, Christmas and New Year's were huge blessings for our family. We kept it simple and enjoyed time with friends and family! Daniel got too many toys to list and really got into opening his presents this year! He had to help Daddy open his too!

Since my Grandma Crowley died January of last year, my dad's family gathered on December 13th (instead of Christmas day) to celebrate Christmas, as well as Grandma's birthday!

Here is a picture of my dad and his siblings and other pictures from the gathering:

Daniel also had his FIRST Christmas play at school! He wasn't too fond of the idea (He and his girlfriend, Katie, cried the whole time), but he was still cute as a button!

On a lighter note, Daniel has been doing extremely well with potty training during the holidays and has been wearing his big boy underwear pretty much 24/7!! He loves to inform people that he has them on! It's really cute!

Overall, we've had a wonderful and blessed 2009 and look forward to having an even better 2010!! God Bless!!!

FALL HAPPENINGS!

Life has been hectic yet fun-filled these last couple of months.....Let's see--where to begin:

• Daniel has been sleeping in his big boy bed a couple of months now!
• We're still working at the potty training thing; he goes in cycles!
• Our house is still up for sale!
• Dan has done alot of home improvements (including a new coat of paint in the kitchen and master bath!)
• I've been consistently going to the gym AT LEAST 3 times a week (but not losing much weight b/c I'm not dieting the way I should)
• We had a great HALLOWEEN with friends and family.
• I had my 6 week follow up from my D&C last week and the doctor has given us the green light to "try again!"

I need to upload some more pictures but I have chosen to be "dumb" when it comes to transferring them to the computer because Dan always spoils me and does it for me! Thanks honey!

Other than that, we're just enjoying life one day at a time and trying not to let "everyday life" consume us!
