And then there were...

I don't know if we are crazy, naive, dumb or what, but we are adding another little one to our family! I am 10 weeks pregnant and due on April 21. Mikayla will just have barely turned 3, so I definitely will have my hands full. But we are very excited and can't wait to meet the third member of our family. Truly there is nothing that brings me more joy than to have these sweet children around me.

This pregnancy hasn't been as difficult as Sophie's, but not as easy as Mikayla's. I'm just counting down the weeks until my second trimester, so my much needed energy will return. I think the two girls are running the house right now :)

A miracle

For the first time in a year, I slept 8 continuous hours without having to nurse a baby. This is difficult to type, as tears stream down my face and onto the computer, but it is true. Sophie finally slept through the entire night. 7:00pm to 7:00am

This is a huge deal, for so long she has had difficulties with her serve GERD and the two seizures, I didn't think this day would ever come. But it has.

Now, to only hope that we can have a repeat tonight...

The Goat Whisperer

I am married to a Goat Whisperer. I just found this out last weekend. We went to the "This is the Place" monument and there is a petting zoo in the park with some goats. We sat down on a bench, hoping to avoid the animals (Mikayla was a little nervous to be close to them) when all of a sudden, as if on command, the goats came to us.

Mikayla did NOT enjoy the experience, but it was sure funny to see all of these goats flock to Steve.

This is why I love my girls so much. One minute they are this:




And the next minute they are this:



P.S. It's also why I love my husband. He is so good with the girls

Things that make me Laugh

I wanted to jot some things down that Mikayla says, I don't want to ever forget how funny this girl is.

Whenever I get dressed for the day and she sees me holding up a shirt or pants, or even socks to put on she says, "Cuuuute!" (I have to admit, it makes me feel pretty good)

If she sees something that she really, really likes or she thinks it's pretty cool she will say, "OH. MY. GOLLY!" But the best part about her saying this is the way she does it. She drags each word out and then the last word, Golly is said with her tone raised.

When I ask her what color something is, and the object is white, it's never just plain, old white. Oh no. It's "Snow White"

She likes to pretend to cook like Remy from Ratatouille and she will warn Sophie that the pots and pans, are "Super Hot, baby Sophs, super hot."

If Steve takes her somewhere, as she is walking out the door, she will turn back to me, blow me kisses, and say, "See you later, be back in a minute, going to get meat."

My baby's 2!

I really can't believe that my little baby is two! I was looking at pictures from her first birthday and it shocked me just how much she has changed in a year. Everyday she gets more and more fun to be around and amazes me by how much she picks up. From her response of, "I don't know" when we ask her why she did something to "No, I'm not" when we tell her she looks tired, or "be back in a minute" when I ask her where she is going. This girl constantly makes me laugh.
Lately she has been into different Disney movies, so I decided to throw a Disney princess party. We invited her cousins that were born the same year she was and had a really fun time. Princess Party 2010!
