This Child of Mine!!

Leah always cracks us up. I was just folding a load of laundry and the tv is on. A commercial came on for some shaving cream. Of course it showed a woman's very pretty long legs, tan, smooth and non-pregnant!! At the end of the commercial Leah looks at me and says, "that what you need, when I touch your legs, they are too spiky for me." THANKS ALOT LEAH!!! Oh, this child of mine, what am I going to do with her??

Cute!! Cute!!

Here is the latest from the embroidery machine. All for Sara Beth!! I can't wait for her to get here so we can use them. I can just imagine how cute she is going to look in that onesie!! I am 24 weeks just in case you were wondering. We have 16 weeks left, and a lot to get done around here. We are planning on putting Emma and Leah together in the bonus room, but before we do, we have to have someone come over and build a closet. A friend from church is going to come and give us an estimate this week. He told the girls, the better the cookies, the better the price. I told the girls, we were going to pull out all the stops!! After we get the closet done, we will have the carpet replaced, and paint!! Anyone want to come and have a painting party?? This is no small job, the bonus room is HUGE!! I am sure the girls will love it once we get it all together, it is just going to take some work. They have been trying to convince me to paint each wall a different color, lime green, bright blue, and hot pink. I don't think I am going to be able to do it. When I try to show then more muted colors, they just get upset!! Oh, joy! I am not going to be coming up my stairs and seeing those colors resonating down the hallway!! I am all about keeping them happy, but I can only go so far. We will see who wins!! (it will be me!!) Any ideas???

Preggo Update

(excuse the no makeup and wet hair)

Here is a update on the baby bump!! I can't believe how big she has grown already. I am already 23 weeks. I can't believe that either. We made it through our Sea World/Disney trip a couple of weeks ago, and boy was I worn out!! It took days to recover. We had a great time, but I am not ready to go back anytime soon. We were gone 9 days, and I don't know how people stay at disney any longer than that. On the last day I didn't think I would ever get Leah to get up. She just wanted to sleep (so did I)!! Here is a picture of all of us outside our favorite restaurant O'hana's. It is the best food we have ever had. We ate here last year, and we had to eat there again. Some of us wanted to eat there twice!!

YUM-O!!!!!!!!!

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.
