It's a girl!

We found out on Wednesday that we are having another girl!

Mahayla's Birthday

Here are a few pictures from the day. As you can see, the poor girl did not have any fun at all.

I give up!

I tried editing the last post I did about Mahayla's birthday about 987 times but for some reason it won't put the correct titles with the pictures. I'm sure you can figure it out though :)

Happy Birthday Big Girl!

Today is our our baby girl's third birthday. When I was pregnant everyone told me how fast everything would go but I didn't realize it was going to be *this* fast. On one hand she has changed so much but on the other she looks so similar to the way she did on the day she was born.

The day she came into this world:

Her first birthday:

Her second birthday:

Today:

Being a goof!

Blowing out her candles (the third and last candle that I had was a dud):

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!!!

It doesn't get much better than this!

We went in for our first ultrasound today and got to see the baby movin' and shakin'. Mahayla went with us and I really think that she understood what was going on. We got to hear the heartbeat and Mahayla kept telling the tech to "try again" because she wanted to hear it more. The baby is looking great which is all a Mama can ask for!

In case you haven't heard...

We are going to be expanding our family! I am due September 14th. I am already showing which is just nuts to me considering that I didn't show until I was about 18 weeks with Mahayla and I am about 11 weeks now.




I think that I am actually feeling this baby move too which is very cool. Here are some semi-recent pictures of the big sister.

Hmmm...Is that sassiness that I'm detecting?

The other night I was making dinner and Mahayla rushed into the kitchen freaking out because "The twee fell ober". Considering that I didn't hear any sort of crashing noise I figured that our Christmas "twee" was, indeed, fine and told her that I would be there when I was done. She wasn't having it. I continued to ignore her pleas about the fallen "twee" until she urgently grabbed my hand and rushed me over to where our Christmas tree is standing. She laid down on the ground and showed me how the tree was "falling".

This is the conversation that followed:

Mahayla: (pointing at pine needles) See Mama, twee falling
Me: Oh, honey that is what happens to Christmas trees. When we take them out of the ground they stop growing and their needles fall out
Mahayla: (pointing to the back of the tree) OH NO LOOK, lots of twees falling!
Me: I'm sorry but I can't do anything about that right now.
Mahayla: (questioning look on her face) Um, maybe you could vacuume it?
