Cousins!

Just a few pictures of Grace and Jacob. Grace is quite smoothering when it comes to Jacob, she thinks he's like one of her dolls that she can squeeze as tightly as possible. I don't think Jacob enjoys the smoothering. Hopeful over time they will learn to get along.

Sitting nicely for a second.

Then comes the smoothering.

Jacob got her back though, by pinning her.

Grace just being a goof!

Beautiful

I think this little girl is just beautiful!

Hair?

Grace is finally starting to sprout some hair!

It's still pretty blond, I'm curious if she'll stay blond or if it'll darken over time.

Lots of Blogging

I have lots of blogs to post and catch up on, but it's not going to happen today because I have another stomach bug, ugh! I've been feeling nauseous off and on for a few days and thought that maybe it might be a good sign as far as pregnancy goes, but last night I woke up and had to throw up a number of times. It's still pretty early in my cyle (day 25) to test, but I tested for the hell of it this morning, because I was so confused about getting another stomach bug, but thus far it's negative.

I still have to do Grace's 17 month update, and our Valentine's Day photos, which included Cole and mine's 1st date out since before Grace was born!

I also learned that Cole had misinformed me about the pool mileage and I've actually been swimming 1/2 mile, not 1/4 mile...yay! I haven't been to the gym in 2 days because I've felt so yucky, but I'm hoping to feel better tomorrow and hit it hard.

Swimming

I mentioned that we joined the gym 2 weeks ago and so far, so good. I've started swimming every day after my cardio workout. Last Saturday I was able to do 5 laps (10 lengths) in the pool. 9 laps is 1/8 of a mile. Well today after I kicked my butt on the bike I hit the pool and did 16 laps (32 lengths). In just 1 week I was able to more than triple the distance I can swim. My goal is to hit 18 tomorrow (1/4 mile.) I've found a new love, and it's the pool! Now, don't get me wrong I look like a fool swimming and am not a great swimmer, but I'll get there!

And to top it off in the 2 weeks since we joined the gym I've only missed 2 days and as of yesterday I am down 16.4 pounds! I'm pretty excited about 16 pounds in 2 weeks. I know I won't continue to lose weight at this pase, but as long as I keep working hard I'll hit my goals!

Say What?

I think I may have actually ovulated this month...and it was on time, not super late...what! Now we just have to wait and see if our timing was perfect. I've started taking the progestrone again, the progestrone doesn't bother me as much as the clomid does, so it's fine. So I guess we shall wait and see...

Boston Climb

Cole, his family, and his sister's friends all did the Boston Climb for Lung Cancer. They did it last year as well, here's the old post about it.

On February 6, they tackled 82 flights of stairs to raise money to support a cause for the 2nd straight year.

As most of you know, my father-in-law is a cancer survivor. Within a span of 12 months, he had three lung surgeries, including the removal of part of one of his lungs due to carcanoid tumors. My father-in-law has been a life long NON SMOKER but developed cancerous tumors in his lungs a few years back. As far as we know he is now cancer free, but is still struggling with various illnesses that have come along due to his illness, surgeries, and medications.

Everyone did a great job and Coley even managed to beat Cole, Cassie, and Andy's time!
