Happy 2nd birthday Zachary!

Zachary turned 2 on November 12, 2010! At the time, Dan was in Arizona finishing his training. And the boys and I had driven down to San Diego for a quick visit. So, on Zachs actual birthday we met up with Grandma Reva and Grandma Sue and ate some yummy cheeseburgers at Fuddruckers restaurant.Grandma Reva bought the boys balloon ninjas! It was so special that we were able to bring Grandma Sue with us and share this time with her. But we sure did miss Daddy!

A few days later in Arizona.................
We combined Dan's end of training and graduation celebration with a birthday celebration for Zachary. Dan requested pizza and wings New York Style from Vinny's pizza. And Zachary wanted a Thomas birthday cake. I wish I had more pictures! But our camera battery died.

For memories sake: everyone who was there to celebrate with us:
Uncle Gary and Pete, Aunt Judy, Grandma Liz, Dan's friend from work and his family; The Johnson's, Rob and Marge, and of course Dan, Zach, Ben, and myself.  

We had a great afternoon by the duck pond. Zachary and Dan were both spoiled with presents and cards from loved ones. It was a great way to end our time in Arizona.

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
