New Bundle of Joy

I just gave birth to my second baby last April 8th. A new bundle of joy has been added to our family. He was born 2 weeks early though but thank God he is very healthy and normal. Toby was born at 5:05 am on April 8 through C-section. He was 8 lbs and 3 oz in weight which is kind a big for a tiny mom like me. He is 20 inches in length. If he had stayed until my scheduled C-section which was supposedly April 22nd. He would have been almost 10 lbs I think but I'm glad that she is home with us and my pregnancy was over because I was so miserable dealing with all the pains and aches because I was carrying my baby so low and my tummy was so huge. Right now I'm just recuperating from my major surgery. I feel better each day and hopefully will be able to recover very soon.

Watching a Travel Program on Television

Contributed by Cameron Hodge

I love traveling and normally go on different trips all of the time. It's not uncommon for me to go on a trip at least once a month or so. I love hiking and just going sightseeing and so I normally go to areas that I am not familiar with. It's even better if I get lost while on my trip since I can really go to areas I don't know while I am lost and driving on unfamiliar roads. My boyfriend and I love going traveling all of the time and even like to watch travel programs on our Directv TV Satellite Specials when we come home from a trip. These types of programs really give me some good ideas about where to go when we choose to go traveling again.
As I've said, we normally go traveling about once a month and I absolutely love looking for new places to go to. The travel programs we watch are really beneficial when we are stumped about where to go. For the most part, we like to stay in the country when we go traveling. This ensures that we are not gone for too long since we have animals at home and can not leave them for very long while we go visiting new areas around the country. When we get home, we're already planning out our next trip.

Pregnancy Update

It's been awhile to be able to post here. Been busy with family. I'm on my 30 weeks of pregnancy, still feeling a lot of pain in my back and my sciatic. I can't wait to see this baby and be able to get away with all the discomforts I'm having right now. Tyler is doing great and learning a lot. His been talking and wanting to be more independent. He is a sweet, smart boy but sometimes he can be a handful. He is learning the sounds of the letters as he keeps watching his video "The Letter Factory" from Leapfrog. He can recognize most of the letters of the alphabet and their sounds and he is only 19 months.
