2 more months to go....

Well I am officially sporting a medium to large sized watermelon under my shirt now! These last few weeks have defiantly flown by. I can't believe I have 9 wks or less to go. My Sister Tiffany is in town visiting right now from Salt Lake and we have been having a lot of fun! On Wednesday we went up to my other Sister Kristen's house spent the night then hung out the next day. Julia and I are taking off for Salt Lake on Wednesday and can't wait! We are going for 8 days! YAY!!! We are really looking forward to going to Lake Powell for my Cousin's wedding on Saturday. I have only been to Powell once but it sure was fun! This time there will be no cliff jumping but I am sure I will have no problem floating in the water! =) Yesterday Tif and I took Julia to Target to register and that pretty much turned in to a nightmare! Some random Mom came up to me and with the most calm and sweet voice she said, "we have all been there." That for sure made me feel a bit better but I was still so frustrated and embarrassed. To say the least I ended up carrying her out of the store kicking and crying. This morning we thought we would take Julia for a walk before her nap. We got ready, and got her bike ready, opened the door and realized that it was drizziling, but we went anyways and she loved it!! I can't believe how well she rides that tricycle now. She is really growing up before our eyes. She will be 3 in a few months. What a trip! Where has the time gone?

31 Wks....

Sisters...Kristen Tif and Me

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

We had our ultrasound this morning! Finally...I am 28 wks! It feels like we have been waiting forever! The baby looked great!! Strong heartbeat, good fluid, all the things you hope to see including the sex. She is a Girl! YAY!!!! Julia is really excited to have a baby Sister. I had her call my Mom on the cell phone after we found out. It was so sweet listening to her tell her Mema the exciting news! I know Julia will be great Big Sister! And I am excited to finally start thinking of names. Luke is excited as well. He had a really cute grin on his face when the Dr. confirmed it. He is going to be surrounded. Well now the fun begins! Shopping and Names??? Luke has already mentioned a few that will not be talked about any further. =) He of course was joking, I hope! So we will see. I am so excited to finally know. I had a feeling all along that it was a girl but it is great to finally know for sure, and being that it is Mother's Day weekend that is even better! Yay!!!


Can you see the baby's eye?



It's a Girl!!

3 more months to go....

Well it hit me this morning like a ton of bricks. I am going to have 2 kids in 3 short months!! I can not believe that it is that close! I woke up this morning in sort of a panic, wondering how Julia is going to take to the "new arrival." Have I taken, and given enough one on one time with just the two of us? Will she be mad at me?

I know that all siblings need some time to adjust but I want to make it as smooth as possible. With all of this weighing on my shoulders I decided we needed to go to the park and just have a great morning together! She has been wanting to go for a few days now but I pulled my back out on Monday, while washing and vacuuming my car. Can you believe that? I was feeling a lot better yesterday but we still never made it to the park. We did however make it over to Aunt Nancy's for a visit and as always had a great time! So today we made it! We went to "Panda Park" and had a great time! On the way home I surprised her by going and getting some frozen yogurt. It was at a place where you put it all together yourself and than they weigh it. Julia was so excited about getting to pick out all the toppings, all by herself! It was quite the concoction with M&M's, Jelly beans, Cookies and Sprinkles on top of Vanilla and Chocolate yogurt. I was just wanting to freeze time while I was watching her eat. She was so happy! She looked up at me and said "I love you Mama" with this big grin on her face. It was all I could do not to loose it right there. What a great memory! She is just so sweet!! Being her Mommy is truly a blessing! How lucky am I!!!!

Just an FYI... We are going to find out the sex of baby #2 on Thursday!!!! I am SO excited! I will post again then if not before. Have a great weekend everyone!!



27 wks...3 more months till the due date!
