Nothing new...

Just checking in! Not much happening around the Scroggins' household! Jerred is off playing softball (surprise, surprise) and Keyli and I are hanging out at home doing chores (surprise, surprise!).
On a positive note, I only have 3 weeks of school left! This is why I LOVE working in the school districts - a little thing I love to call SUMMER VACATION! I can't wait! Not that we are doing anything big and exciting at first - it's just nice to know I don't HAVE to be up and dressed and leaving the house by 7am! Although, my days will consist of getting ready for my precious Luke to make his arrival! 14 weeks and counting! :)
Speaking of which - I had another dr appt with an U/S last monday. Everything checked out great and my little man is currently weighing in at 1 lb. 14 oz!
Well, guess that's about it...like I said - it's been quiet around here! Just the way I like it! I'll check back in soon! Love to all!

It's finally Friday!

I've been saying that alot here lately! It seems like every monday, my Facebook Status reads something to the affect of: "well, lets get this week started so it will end faster!"...Followed 5 days later by: "Yea! It's Friday, time to start my weekend!"

My work days seem to drag - being a teacher in the schools, I feel much like my students do around this time of year. The countdown to summer began the Monday following Spring Break, and being stuck indoors on beautiful, warm, sunny days is just plain wrong! But only 19 days to go, then we get a nice long break!

However, I'm usually not THIS mentally and physically ready for summer though. I attribute my eagerness to being 6 months pregnant and knowing that my sweet baby boy is making his grand entrance at the end of the summer! I still have so much to do to get ready for him! I plan to hit the ground running as soon as that last day of school comes and goes! I think the "nesting" stage of pregnancy is starting to sink in, but I'm trying to hold off until school is over. But it's driving me crazy that his room is not ready, I don't have alot of stuff for him yet, and Keyli isn't potty trained yet - which is my MAIN concern and priority before August gets here. I only want 1 child in diapers! Wish me luck on that one, huh? :)

anyway - I've got 3 weeks to go - I can do it!

Disney On Ice

My mom and I took Keyli to Disney on Ice this afternoon. It was held at Reliant Stadium and Keyli had a blast! It had all of her favorite characters and she was mesmerized! She did not want to leave once the show was over! Now that I have uploaded all the pictures to our computer, all she wants to do is look at them over and over again - and tell me exactly who each person is! She came home with a Mickey Mouse blanket and Minnie Mouse T-shirt (courtesy of Nana), and a new cup, coloring book, and program (from mommy). Here are a few pics from the show

It's Official!!

I am 21 1/2 weeks along in my pregnancy! I can't believe it's gone by so fast! I had another dr. appt this afternoon, along with an ultrasound and guess what!?! We are having a boy!!! We are so excited! I get to be the football and baseball mom! :) Keyli told her daddy that she has a baby brudder!

Unfortunately, he could not be at the ultrasound due to sad circumstances. His grandmother passed away over the weekend and her funeral was this morning. So Keyli and I left after the funeral and drove to Kingwood to the dr, and he stayed behind to be with his mom.

well, guess that's all the news for now. Now comes the fun part of deciding on a middle name, getting ideas for his bedding, and buying little boy clothes! Yippee! Have I mentioned that we are really excited!?!

The end of Spring Break

Well, the much anticipated SPRING BREAK has come and gone...it was a great week though! Jerred worked all week (except 1/2 a day on Thursday) so Keyli and I just hung out at home. Not that any of you particularly care, I'm gonna go ahead and give you a rundown of our week!

Monday:

I had a dr. appt for the little bean growing in my tummy. Mom and Keyli went with me, so we went to lunch at Luby's first and exchanged some clothes at Gymboree...then it was on to the dr. Nothing major happened at this appt. I got to hear the heartbeat - it was strong at 150 beats/min. They did some bloodwork on me to do the down's syndrome screening - hoping and praying it all turns out good. I also set up my next ultrasound for April 12th! So excited for that one - it's the GENDER u/s! We are thinking BOY! I'll keep ya posted! ;) After the dr, we made a trip to Target. Never a good thing for the bank account! haha!

Tuesday and Wednesday were cleaning days. We are switching some rooms around in our house (moving bedrooms upstairs and bringing the game room and playroom downstairs). Both days were devoted to cleaning out boxes that were still in the spare room from when we moved! Bad, I know! I also did a TON of laundry that I've been putting off. We did get our bed and TV moved upstairs, but that's it so far on the heavy furniture moving. More to come when Jerred's dad can come help!

Thursday, Jerred came home at noon and we took Keyli to the zoo...BAD IDEA!!! She had a blast looking at what animals we COULD see, but it was so crowded with rude and inconsiderate people, that we were just ready to go home. Remind me to NEVER AGAIN go to the zoo during spring break! haha! Her favorite animals were the "efalants, mon-tees, and gaffs" (elephants, monkeys, and giraffes!). She kept pulling our hands to go see "more aminals!". Got some cute pictures that I will try and post later (after I find my adapter for the computer!)

Friday Jerred had class at work, so Keyli and I had lunch with mom. We discovered a new hamburger place that is WONDERFUL! It was about a 25 min drive but SO WORTH IT! The rest of the afternoon was spent just hanging around the house.

The weekend came and went very quickly. Nothing exciting - just spending time with my 2 favorite people! We watched movies, played games, and listened to Keyli sing us many of her songs! This was a perfect way to spend my spring break! It was much needed, and now I am ready to go and conquer the rest of this school year!

Sick, AGAIN!

So Keyli is sick again! She started running a high fever (104.6 degrees when daycare called!) on Thursday and it just keeps continuing. According to the dr, she has some sort of bacteria floating around, causing an infection somewhere - it's just not detectable...her ears are clear, her chest is clear, they even ran a urine test to see if it is a UTI, but that was clear. She is starting to get a little congested, nothing horrible, so maybe it's just another sinus infection - who knows! She is feeling better, but is still running fever. Yesterday afternoon, it got to 105.5! Believe me, this momma was panicking! But i took her over to Nana's house and she took some medicine and drank some juice, and it came back down...Nana can always make her feel better! Thank heavens for that, because I was ready to load her up and head to the hospital!

so far today, she has just been lazy - laying around watching mickey mouse. As long as she will take her medicine, her fever stays away, but as soon as it wears off, it comes right back up. Anyway - so that's the latest going on at the Scroggins' household. I wish I was outside right now - it's absolutely GORGEOUS outside! Jerred is playing softball and I hate that i'm missing it! More later!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful day spent with friends and family, celebrating the love that you have for each other!

Jerred got me a new set of pajamas! I love lounging in a soft, comfortble pair of PJs! He also cooked dinner for us and some friends tonight - steak, chicken, & shrimp! It was YUM-O!

I got him a pair of tickets to the 2010 College Classic Baseball Tournament at Minute Maid Park...It's a 6-team tournament between University of TX, Rice, Univ of Houston, Missouri, TCU, & Texas Tech! I really hope he has fun!

Then Keyli got the biggest gift - a new puppy! We have been talking about getting her a small "lap dog" because she so badly wants to hold Kasey - our 90lb choc lab! So a lady I knew had some chi-weenie (cross between a chihuahua and a weenie dog) puppies and she gave one to me to give to Keyli! He is super cute and only supposed to get to about 7 lbs fully grown! She LOVES being able to hold him in her lap and carry him around! Although, I have to watch her because I've caught her trying to pick him up by the neck! Anyway, Jerred picked out 2 names - 1 I liked and 1 he liked and told them to Keyli - it was a choice between Taco (Jerred's choice) and Peanut (my choice) and Keyli promptly responded with "Peanut"! So, meet the newest addition to our family - Peanut, the blond-haired chi-weenie puppy!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
