Baby's First Photo

Today I had an ultrasound. It was so amazing. I was so relieved, and excited. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this precious thing on the monitor. I was a little on edge for a second, because when they first put the image on the screen all I saw was 2 round things, I thought to myself, there IS two in there, then he changed the angle a bit and I saw where the two round parts were connected. It was amazing to see how much the "bean" had developed. I got to see arms, legs, body, and head. I was able to hear/see the heart beat, and it was beating at 167. This picture shows the head on the left, shoulders/arms, and body, you are looking at it's back. I was able to see the legs but not in the picture he gave me. Is this not the cutest thing ever?? I am actually going to have a level 3 ultrasound in about 5-6 weeks, just to check all the organs, and make sure there is no complications, because of the issues that we had with Emma, and because it is going to be a level 3, we should know for sure if it is a boy or girl!! Fun times!! Can't wait to have more pictures!! Thanks for checking in on us, keep checking back. I am slowly getting my energy back, and hopefully will be posting more often.

Things are changing!!!

Our new year has started off wonderful!!

Why did my husband bring me these????????

Because our family of four will be no more!!!!

Baby #3 due in September!! WHAHOOOOOOOOOO!! Hope you all are as excited as we are!! We can't wait!!

Please help us pray that this baby will be strong and healthy and that I can carry it with out any major complications!!!

Christmas Break!!

We hope you all had a great break from your regular routines, and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. We had a great holiday, and got to spend time with all of our family members, got way to much loot, and now we have to get back into the swing of things. Not too fun!! We got to spend a lot of time with Uncle Nick and Aunt Katie, which is always bunches of fun. We played lots of games, talked a lot, laughed a lot, and just enjoyed each others company. Can't wait until we can do it again. The kids asked me more times when they were coming than Santa Claus. They always hate to see them go, Emma actually begged them not to go back home. Hopefully we can see them again soon. We love you Uncle Nick and Aunt Katie.

Kid's Say the Funniest Things...

This morning Emma had to be at school at 7:30 for chorus practice. Around 8:30 the phone rings and I had just walked into the bathroom. I yelled at Leah to answer the phone.

Leah: Hello!

Mrs. Hilburn (Emma's teacher): Hey Leah! May I speak to your mom or dad?

Leah: My dad is at work and my mom is on the POT!!!!

Mrs. Hilburn: OK, just have your mom call me back!! (I bet she was dying inside!!)

Lesson learned for Mama: Let the phone ring!!!!!

I guess it is time to teach Leah some phone manners!!

Elvis Love!!!

I thought I would share a couple of pictures with you!! This was one of the MANY conversations (or songs) Leah has with Elvis on a daily basis. I thought Leah would love Elvis, but I didn't know how much. Elvis is HER baby!! She doesn't play with her dolls as much anymore!! She has Elvis to love (worry the mess out of) each and every day. Elvis also loves Leah. A lot of mornings when I go in to wake Leah up, Elvis jumps on her bed and gives her kisses!! And she replies with a giggle, and a "Good Morning Elvis." It is really sweet, this relationship that they have. Emma doesn't want to mess with Elvis too much. She does care about him, and wants him to be safe, and not run away, and things like that, but she doesn't get in the floor and roll all around with the dog, sing to Elvis, and have conversations with him, and check his teeth to make sure that everything is ok in there, and rub his belly, and tell him that he is the best dog ever, and tell him that he is her best friend in the whole world, and that she is never going to let anything happen to him!! Not that kind of LOVE!!!

Trust me, he was enjoying this conversation!!!!!

Halloween

This Halloween Leah decided to be an Angel, and Emma a pink and white Kitty Cat!! They were mighty sweet in there costumes, and we had a great time trick or treating. We had a Halloween party at our house and invited all the families from church that had kids!! Whew, it was crazy, but a lot of fun too!! It was fun getting everyone together and seeing all the kids in there costumes. Here is a picture of the girls right before we went trick or treating, and also a picture of something we did to the bonus room window!! It turned out so cute. I had seen this in a magazine, and Todd and I actually pulled it off!! Hopefully I can keep it in one piece for next year!! Hope you got more treats than tricks this Halloween!! I know I did!!!!

This picture is a little blurry, but you get the idea!!

Happy Fall Y'all

I am loving my embroidery machine, and I can't seem to step away from it the last few days. With fall here I want to make everyone one of these. Aren't they adorable? I have been really busy lately on my machine. Put your girls in something cute that you made and everyone wants you to make one for them!! That is fine with me, I am going to start saving all the money that I get paid for a bigger machine with a bigger embroidery area!! Can't wait, I already have someone that wants to buy my machine when I upgrade!! WIN-WIN!!! Anyhow, I thought I would share these cute dish towels with you. I need to get back on my machine, there are ghost & spiders to be done today!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the fall. I LOVE this weather!!
