34 weeks!

Yes I am officially farther along than I was when I had Avery by one week. CRAZY! I had a doctor appointment today and the baby is growing and healthy hurray. I am now dilated to 2 cm. So who knows when I will go into labor. They said in two weeks they wont try to stop it at all. I can't believe we are down the wire! Or that I made it this far. I remember the doctor not even knowing if I could carry this baby to viability. It is truly a miracle and I feel so blessed we are going to have a new sweet baby girl in our family.

Good lil' Sleepers


So Avery went to her Aunt Lacie's on Monday for the day. She loves going over and playing with her cousins! We all know how bad of a sleeper Avery is. Right now were are trying to stay to a pretty stick schedule so we can get her sleeping through the night. Yes she is 2 and 1/2 and still wakes up at least once at night. It very brief and usually she will go right back to sleep if you check on her.  She has given up naps  most days but we still have consistent "quiet time" where she stays in her room for an hour and reads or she falls asleep. We never know if she will, even though you can see she really does need some daytime sleep.  Anyways by some miracle Lacie was able to get bother toddlers to fall asleep in the same bed. And these girl just don't fall asleep anywhere very easily. CRAZY! She got this cute picture of them. The crazy thing is they are sleeping so close and slept for like two hours that way! Thanks Lacie what a trooper!

Addicted









So Lately I have really wanted to get into digital scrapbooking all our many pictures that are just sitting on our computer. I was really overwhelmed and I still am for that matter because we have THOUSANDS of pictures that I have to go through.  Well I came across this really cute paper pack for FREE on the scrapbook website and got motivated!  I set up a comfy chair and a place to kick up my feet and spent a lot of the day scrapbooking away. I am now looking into buying My Memories Suite to make things a little easier. They have pre made templates that take minutes to finish instead of hours making your own in  Photoshop! HELLO I am definitely wanting that.

32 weeks and counting

I can't believe that I have made the 32 week mark today! All I can say is I am so grateful this little one has made it this far. We have been on a roller coaster ride since November 25. Weird I know the exact date. I feel so blessed that our prayers have been answered and we will have a little miracle come into our lives soon.  It's been a hard long journey that I will never forget. I can't wait to see her little face and I'm not going to hide it...be pain free! I have another doctor appointment tomorrow so we will see if anything is new!

baby update

Tuesday I had another doctor appointment and not much has changed except I'm 70% efaced which is NOT normal this early.  Still dilated to a one and they are still shocked how low this baby is, which is also not normal this early either. I took a test to see if I would go into labor within the next two weeks and it came back negative HURRAY!!! It is a 99% chance I won't go into labor. So two weeks of no worries! I love it!

Kids say the darndest things.....


Avery is growing up so fast and saying the funniest things lately. Me and Chris die of laughter everyday at some of the things. Here are some of our favorites...

- Daddy the bugs tacked me. (when she woke up scared in the middle of the night) She continues to talk about the bugs that tacked her and got her back and how daddy scared them away.

-I want to call grandma! (On the phone with grandma....) - grandma you come over? Ok? bye.

- Oh my gosh!

- I'm naked!

- Look at mommies bum! (this happened at one of our many hospital visits and had us laughing along with all the nurses..... embarrassing!)

- I can't go outside right now cause its too windy!

- Cooper don't pee on it! Bad boy! Go outside! (while pointing her finger at him)

- Woopie's little (when Chris gave penelope a bath and all her fur was wet....she does look half the size when wet)

- I'm goin swimmin! Here's my swimming soup!

- Ketchup day! Its ketchup day! When making pretend dinners.

- Don't ever ever ever do that anymore!
