Different Second Time Around

Boy is this pregnancy different than with Braylon. I have not been feeling very well these past few weeks. I do not seem to like ANY type of food. Any thought of food makes me want to throw up. Oh and don't even get me started on the smell of foods. YUCK! Even though I don't physically get sick I feel like I am about to. I can't wait for this next week and half to be over so that I "hopefully" start feeling better. With Braylon, I didn't feel like this at all. I think garlic was the only thing that made me squirm with him. But this time around it is EVERYTHING. I have already lost 15 pounds since I found out I was pregnant. I just can't get myself to eat very much at one time. Oh and the exhaustion, I am tired all the time. Chris has been so amazing. He just lets me come home from work and lay down for the rest of the night. He (or my sister) take care of making dinner and dishes. It has been wonderful.

So, hopefully some of my energy will be returning soon so that I can get some pictures uploaded on here. I am feeling so behind right now.

Happy / Sad

Today I am both Happy and Sad. I am happy for my baby sister, Rosanna, who got married yesterday to a wonderful man, Josh. They both looked amazing. I will have pictures to post soon. Congratulations to the WINKLERS!!!

I am sad because I will be going to the Rosary of a friend and classmate tonight. My heart has been aching since Thursday for the Adams Family. Jason was a wonderful man, husband, father, brother, grandson and friend. He is going to be missed so much. Please keep his friends and family in your prayers during this very difficult time.

A week in Centralia...

Braylon and I have been spending this week in Centralia helping out my little sister Rosie get ready for her wedding on Saturday. Braylon has been enjoying his time on the farm with Papa. I think he has gotten to ride the tractors everyday so far. He LOVES this. I have been enjoying lots of rest. I have been taking 2 hour naps with Braylon everyday. It has been so nice. We have been busy getting ready for the wedding too. We can't wait for Saturday. It is going to be a beautiful wedding. We have been talking with Braylon about walking down the aisle to hopefully get him to do it. We plan on practicing with him on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We'll see if it happen or not.

I will have pictures to post from the wedding on Sunday! Lots of handsome pictures of the little man.

A Big Brother????

Yep, Braylon is going to be a big brother!! Chris and I are expecting baby #2 March 6, 2010!! We are so thrilled and everything is going well. I am quite a bit nauseous, but no throwing up. Thanks goodness for that. We will keep you all up to date on the progress. We are planning on finding out the sex in October so stay tuned!

Happy Birthday Braylon!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Braylon! You are an amazing little boy and mommy and daddy love you very much.

Where does the time go?

Hard to believe that this little guy will be TWO tomorrow. I have so much to do to get ready for this weekend. We are having a nice BBQ with our families and then Cake and Ice-Cream later on with our extended families. It is going to be a Thomas the Train theme since Braylon is obsessed with it right now. I am attempting to decor his cake myself. Hopefully it will turn out OK. I'm sure he'll like it either way. I am getting his pictures taken tomorrow morning so I will have a new post all for the little Birthday Boy!

Last part of June

June has been a very busy month for the Meyn Family. Two weekends ago we went back to Hanover for Chris's 10 year class reunion. We had a great time catching up with all his classmates. Then on Sunday we headed to Centralia for my little sister Rosie's Bridal Shower. I think she had a very successful bridal shower. Tons of great gifts!

This past weekend we all headed to Wentzville, MO (St. Louis) to see our friends the Lickteigs. Dom and Emily just had a baby boy, Carter Phillip, on May 8th. This was our first time meeting the little guy. He was such a sweet baby boy. I think I only heard him cry once the whole weekend. No exaggeration either. Braylon absolutely LOVED baby Carter! That is all he wanted to do was see Baby Carter and give his binky. So cute. He was so sweet and gentle with him. I was quite surprised. Braylon is going to be a great big brother some day. On Saturday we went to a place called the Magic House in St. Louis. It is an indoor activity center. They had all kinds of things for children to do and learn. It was a lot of fun. Then later that afternoon Chris and Dom took Braylon swimming. Braylon LOVES the water and would have stayed at the pool all night. He wasn't very happy when Mommy made him go home. We headed back home on Sunday after lunch. Thank you Lickteigs for a wonderfull weekend!
