Sorry for no recent posts!!

As some of you may have guessed... I haven't felt well enough the past 2 months to make any posts. Sorry! But surprise surprise, if you hadn't yet figured it out, we have a new bun in the oven! I thought some of you may have guessed that because the last time I went this long without a post was for the exact same reason! I've pretty much been coming home from work and vegging out on the couch not to mention hitting the sheets around 8pm! I've also spent my fair share amount of time hugging the porcelain throne, which I haven't been too thrilled about in the least. The official due date is Feb 23rd and we just recently started telling everyone after I had my 13 week ultrasound on Friday and everything looks good!

I'm still not feeling the best but at least the puking has subsided with the help of Pepcid AC. I still would rather veg out than get up and do anything but our living room TV acts up almost every day now, so I think we are going to take the plunge and get a new one. I just did some research on consumer reports online and found one that is their CR Best Buy that also happens to be at BJ's. So that works for us! Hopefully we can steer clear of the food sections because I haven't done so well smelling food.

Okay, that's about it for now. I really need to lie down for a few minutes before attempting to take a shower. It really is unfortunate that I'm not one of those women that "love" being pregnant. Of course, if I were, then Doyle would have a hard time controlling headcount at our house! Ha!

I'll try and do a better job of keeping you all updated. I'm hoping here in the next couple of weeks my nausea will disappear and I can resume an almost normal life. We'll see, wish me luck! Thanks!

Cade's First Trip to the Zoo!

Okay, so our plans changed but we had such a good time. I wouldn't have had it any other way! Originally, I had taken today as a vacation day so that Doyle and I could go to the movies and spend the day to celebrate our anniversary which is tomorrow. But the daycare called me at work yesterday and said they were having to close in order to disinfect because they had had some sort of staph infection outbreak. So... I was definitely disappointed last night. I went ahead and took the vacation day anyway. Late last night I thought the zoo sounded like an okay alternative. That okay alternative ended up being the perfect day! The Jacksonville Zoo had added a whole section since the last time we had been, which was probably over 3 years ago. Here are some pictures from today!

I loved the pink flamingoes!

Okay, this picture turned out a little scary!

Cade pointed out the elephants and the rhino's!

Doyle and I put our hands in the water to touch the stingray's as they swam by. Cade is still a little too young for that. Maybe in another year!

We also could have fed the giraffe's but again, maybe when Cade is a little older.

Cade did enjoy the surfing the crocodile!

And he loved following the animal tracks! Too cute!

Next we were on to see the monkeys and apes! Some of them weren't posing very nicely so I'll keep those pics to myself!

We had been there for a couple of hours at this point and it was time for lunch!

Cool fish tank huh?

We didn't get any snapshots of Cade on his first carousel ride but Doyle did video it. So I'll have to upload that to the site another time. Needless to say, Cade was just okay with it at first and then towards the end he got scared and had had enough!

Next it was on to the splash ground area! We had no idea this was here! Luckily, they sold "splashers" diapers. Of course we had an extra pair of shorts in Cade's diaper bag so we used those as his swim trunks. I have to admit... it was so hot out, I was SO glad to have been able to get in that water too!

We had a great time cooling off in the water!

It was a long day at the zoo! This was the first time Cade had actually fallen asleep in his stroller! That and the first time he had fallen asleep sitting up!

We sat him back and he slept all the way home. I even took a nap when we got back myself! We really had a great time! Way better than the movies could have ever been! :)
