To See, or Not to See...

I've never had contacts so I don't know what they are like, but I have heard that they are really annoying. Jacob's eyes started turning red and were really irritated so he decided to get glasses. I'm sure you have all seen his famous second grade picture with the bright pink shirt and the Christmas Story-esque glasses. I made sure he picked out better ones this time. He liked another pair better than the ones he got, but I liked these the best. They are quite snazzy! He can see a whole lot better and his eyes are back to normal, thank goodness. Hopefully our child does not get his football shaped eyeballs! Oh, and who are all these people voting that the baby is a boy? I don't know if we can be friends. ha ha

Then...

Now, much better!

9. Who pays the bills? He does usually, unless he asks me to.

Baby News

I went for my second doctor's appointment today. It was much shorter than the last one, I like that. All my test results came back good. I am not anemic or diabetic (woo hoo!). My doctor went to listen to the heartbeat and it took him a while to find it. I was getting a little worried! But the last place he checks it was there. The baby is down low so I'm guessing when I do show I am going to look really funny. There is great news though! We get to find out if it's a boy or a girl on my birthday. I made the appointment then on purpose, I figured it would be a great present! It's August 4th at 10:20 in the morning. All you moms can feel my pain here, I have to drink a ton of water before I go! I am seriously worried that I might pee my pants. Especially if they are pushing on my stomach for the ultrasound. Yikes! Oh well, I guess it will be worth it, right?

PS- Don't forget to vote for boy or girl before the day we find out, that's the last day!

Happy 4th!

I am so ready to go to sleep right now and it is only 8:45. This is just sad. One of the lovely side effects of growing a child, especially one who eats as much as Jacob. (At least that's what I have decided because I eat like 8 meals a day. :) Anyway, we had a great 4th of July! We spent some time with my family eating hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans, and other such delightful holiday food. We also played cowboy golf for the first time which is one of the funnest games ever! After that, we went and watched the fireworks with part of Jacob's family. I have never been so close to fireworks before! We even had ash and flaming pieces falling on us. Some of which got in my eye, which was pretty crappy, but it was worth it. The finale was great and it was so fun seeing the cute looks on Emma and Maddy's faces.


A typical Yeanoplos family photo. The boys are always making faces.

Ah, to be a kid again.

Jacob is not impressed.
