Trip to Nashville

We enjoyed our Memorial Day Weekend in Nashville, TN. The Penningtons were gracious hosts and let us stay for 4 days. Banks is 2.5 months older than Graham. It always surprises me how much 10 weeks can make a difference.
Although it was a long drive, Graham did great! We were lucky enough to have little traffic there and back. While we were there we went to the park (multiple time), played on the wonderful screen porch, splashed in the baby pool, went to a model train exhibit at a botanical garden, and the adults enjoyed a night out to dinner followed by a few honky tonk bars! We even saw Wynonna Judd while at dinner!
Graham can't wait to visit Banks' house again!

Graham Stories and 20 Week Ultrasound

I haven't taken many pictures of Graham this week, but I do have some funny stories. About a week ago Graham was being very quiet in the room beside me. I asked, 'Graham, what are you doing?' He said, 'pulling Sissy's (Maggie's) tail!' Sure enough when I went in the room he was pulling Maggie's tail! I love a child's honesty. And I love Maggie's patience!

A few days later Graham and I were getting into the car. I strapped Graham in his carseat, walked around the car and got into my seat. As soon as I sat down to buckle my seatbelt Graham said, 'hit the road Hope-ah!' I realized then that I always ask Graham that question before we back out of the driveway.

This past week marked the half way mark in the pregnancy. We did our 20 week ultrasound and the doctor saw bilateral choroid plexus cysts (cysts in the brain). She said that it may be nothing, but recommended that we see a specialist since these can be markers for chromosomal issues. Luckily, we were able to get an appointment with the specialist the next day. He repeated the ultrasound and quickly told us we had nothing to worry about. He said that he did see the cysts, but all other anatomy looked completely normal. This was a welcomed report after a long 24 hours of worry!





We have also changed Baby Green's name...We are now thinking BRYSON ANDREW GREEN. We still like the name Connor, but it didn't feel right for this baby. We will let you know if this is still the name next week!

Mother's Day Weekend

I think Graham enjoyed Mother's Day as much as I did! We had Gaga and Papa, Heather and Brian, and Mimi over to our house for lunch on Sunday. Graham just glows when he has all his family in one place. I love how he walks around the table calling each person by name and smiling at them! Graham and Dustin gave me a Cookie Monster card, some candy and a gift certificate for a manicure/pedicure.






We also enjoyed Mason Donlan's first birthday party this past weekend. Graham loved the cupcake and playing with his buddy Rivers! The theme was cars. The picture in the car is Mason driving, Graham in the passenger seat and Rivers in the back seat.









I think we may have a name for Baby Green #2....CONNOR ANDREW GREEN! Connor is a name that Dustin and I both like. Andrew is a combination of 'Ann' (which was my Mom's middle name) and 'Drew' (which was my sweet Great Aunt's last name). I'm still feeling great and looking forward to my 20 week visit and ultrasound next week. We were spoiled having so many ultrasounds early on.
