Baby # 3.........

Today was a big day!! We had an ultrasound to check and see if everything was developing with the baby the way it should be. We were thrilled that everything looked great. The baby is very healthy. The doctor said that he would be very surprised if we had any issues come up. We were also able to get some really cute pictures of the sweet baby. This one is a profile shot and looks like the baby is saluting. It was just perfect. She gave us a couple of copies of this one, so Todd took one to work to show the guys!!
Also, they were able to check the sex of the baby.... and what you are all wanting to know.......we are starting a savings account for all the weddings we are going to be responsible for paying for!!! We are having baby GIRL # 3. We are really excited, and are looking forward to meeting this sweet bundle of joy. Her name is Sara Beth.

After the doctors appointment, I went and picked up the girls. They were thrilled that it was a girl. They have both been wanting a girl the whole time. We went and had lunch, and went to Kohl's to do a little baby girl shopping. Here are a few things we picked out (some of the outfits were on the clearance, I am all about a bargain!!) Can you tell Leah is thrilled??

Happy Easter!!

Well, it is that time of year again. Here is our yearly Easter pictures, before church. I thought they turned out super cute!! Hope you all are enjoying your Easter. We have had some beautiful weather this weekend, and have really enjoyed being outside.

Hello Out There!!

For those of you who were tired of looking at the ultrasound picture every time you opened our blog, sorry. Actually I am not really, I still like looking at it. Here is a picture of my belly for those who haven't seen me in a while. I will be 17 weeks in just a couple of days, and am feeling very BIG already. I guess my body just knows what to do by now. I am only 3 weeks and a couple of days away from half way there. That just sounds crazy to me!! I had a Dr. appointment today and Leah was with me. I thought they would fall out when they saw me, at the last appointment you couldn't even tell I was pregnant, but they didn't, they assured me that my weight gain was right on track!! Shew!! We were able to hear the heart beat and Leah was really excited about that. The girls are really wanting a girl, and I think we have narrowed down our girl name, but Todd isn't talking any boy names just yet. He really thinks that we are having another girl. He said we would talk about boy names if we find out it is a boy. We actually find out on Tuesday morning!! We are extremely excited about that. Well, I guess that is all for now. We are staying really busy, and are counting down our days until we leave for Disney in 3 weeks and 2 days. Hope you all are doing well. Be looking next week for another post revealing the baby and all of his/her private parts!! I can't wait!!

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!!
