merry christmas

30 weeks

Adam and I got an early Christmas present....a 3d/4d ultrasound on Tuesday! It was amazing, I cannot believe how great of detail we can see our precious baby! I of course already think he is a doll, and think it's AMAZING how much he already looks like his Daddy!!!!


His precious profile....he has Mommy's cheek bones and that's about it!



He started pouting, and it was the sweetest/saddest thing I have ever seen!! Look at that nose....it is identical to Adam's.



I cannot wait to meet this little baby, hold him in my arms, and squeeze those cheeks!!
He is going to be the best Christmas present ever....bummed I have to wait a few more weeks to "open him up."

Welcome Fall, Goodbye Fall!

I have a few fall decorations, not much. I decorated back right before Halloween....we don't decorate for Halloween, just fall, so here it is. Thought I would document it right before I take it down to put up our Christmas stuff....can't believe how fast this year is going!


Our front door, wreaths, fall cafe curtains, and my favorite...topiary pumpkins!!

Gathered pine cones inside the lantern on our kitchen table. Looking at this picture I can tell our table needs to be waxed or something, its looking awfully beat up!!!

On top of our kitchen bookshelves....candy corn in apothacary jars, mmmmmm!! My cute little Thanksgiving turkey, and a mini pumpkin topiary.

And my favorite! I just love these little signs, and as a pregnant girl I am for sure going to keep gobbling :) Sadly I will be gobbling until spring.

Happy Fall Ya'll

It's a BOY!

I am a terrible blogger.........we have know Mr. Man is on his way for over 6 weeks now! eek....but I thought I would update the blog about it.
He is getting super big already, and so am I. Can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going...before I know it I will be dropping him off at college. I can't believe how much I already love him, I find myself anxiously awaiting his arrival, I just want to snuggle him up and squeeze his cheeks!

He has his daddy's feet, Adam's second toe is longer than his big toe, and so does the baby! They also told us he has big feet, big belly, and a big head. Adam's response "story checks out, he's mine!" Oh that boy, he keeps me on my toes! I'm only guessing that soon I will have TWO boys that keep my on my toes.

I sneezed during the ultrasound, and he covered his ears!! It was so sweet, I knew I was a loud sneezer, but I didn't realize it was driving my baby crazy already!!! They kept switching from 3D to 4D, this picture is taken during the 4D part.

Destin

We have had the BEST week in Destin with the Joyner's!! Went to the beach a few times, swam, shopped, and the kids even jet skied and boated. Here's some pic's I took at the beach!


Annabel on the boogie board


Can't believe how big they all are.


Taylor built herself a little lounge chair out of sand....such a princess on her throne!


Bennett


Andy and Adam built themselves a serious sand castle, they were so proud.



William


And this one is my favorite!! Taylor is such a little model.

Such a fun week. Can't wait to do it again.

Genetic's Counselor Visit

On Friday, Adam and I went to the genetics counselor. We were referred to this doctor because Adam has a first cousin who has Down Syndrome. Our doctor asked us if we wanted to run a bunch of tests to determine if the baby was down, and we opted not to. If we found out for some reason the baby had Down Syndrome we would not abort, so what did it really matter if we knew?! So instead she suggested going to see the genetics counselor they can determine a lot of issues with their fancy ultrasound machines. Dr. W wanted to be as prepared as possible if there was something to be prepared for.
Our appointment went great, they took some blood, some information, and then it was movie time. The doctors office was awesome, I got to sit in a fancy recliner/bed type thing, and on the wall in front of me, a GIANT flat screen to watch everything. The ultrasound lasted about 30 minutes, here are some of the highlights!



The doctor told us that everything looked perfect, so perfect in fact he printed out several pictures for himself and said he was going to use them for the recertification board on their machines! Of course that thrilled us and made us feel like our baby is already some kind of genius!! Can't believe we have to wait until March to meet this little nugget baby...can't wait!

We're Pregnant!

It's true, super exciting news for the Toler's!
March 3rd, hopefully.....there will be a new baby in OUR HOUSE! Love it. I found out the day before Father's Day, so I had to keep the secret all day, and on Sunday morning, Father's Day, I broke the news to Adam. Here's how the convo went...

Me: Guess What?
Adam: What??
Me: You're going to be a Daddy, Happy Father's Day!
Adam: No way! I Don't believe you...

I get the pregnancy test, and the box so he can verify and hand it over,
here was his face...

After looking at the test, then back to the box,
then back at the test I get this response

Adam: Well baby, I'm going to do the right thing. (he was smirking as he was saying this, like he had been planning that line for years)
Me: (Speechless)

Who responds like this? Adam, that's who! And that is one of the reasons I love him. We are almost 12 weeks, and have been to see our precious Dr. W two times. I am so lucky how much I love my doctor, she is awesome.
We go to a genetics counselor on Friday, hopefully I will have some pics of Baby to post then! I have already had an ultrasound, but we didn't get any pics to bring home, bummer. Only one baby (thank goodness), and everything looks great, we are blessed!
