Updates and Pictures

Hannah playing at the "REIGNFOREST." It is an awesome indoor play area at the church my parents go to, and it is open to the public during the week! This mommy likes it very much!! :)
More playing and running around! Burn off that energy Miss Hannah!!
Hannah playing dressup in some of my old bridesmaids dresses. There was one summer when ALL of my friends got married, and I was in five weddings in just a couple of months. This one is the top from my sister Steph's wedding.
Red dress from my friend Kelly's wedding...I loved this dress, because red is my Favorite color :)
And this is my prom dress from senior year in high school! Ahh the memories ;)

And now, an update on my poor, poor very pregnant sister! Thats right, she is still pregnant. At her last Dr. appt, they told her that if she didn't have the baby on her own by this Thursday, March 5th, they would induce her. I know being induced is not Steph's ideal situation, but if it gets to that point she will be ready. Not much else has changed, she is still have contractions but still not dilating. Please continue to pray for her and her husband, and both of their sanity :)

Prayer Request

I wanted to ask everyone to please pray for my sister Stephanie today. She is 39+ weeks pregnant with her first baby, and has been having contractions every 3-6 minutes since Saturday. She has been to the hospital twice and been sent home twice because she is not dilating, and the doctors are saying she is in what is called prodromal labor, which from what I understand is all the not fun parts of labor with out any of the affects, such as dilating. Please pray from Stephanie, as I know she is incredibly frustrated and exhausted and is soooo ready to have this baby!

Traumatized

I thought this was too funny not to share:

This morning Hannah has been a bit of a grump, so I asked her, "Hannah do you have your grouchy pants on?"

She responded, "NO!! I not have my grouchy pants on...I traumatized!"

Of course :)

And the verdict is...

We are having a BOY!!! We are really excited :) No clue on a name yet, but we will start looking in earnest now :) Everything looked good on the ultrasound, the fluid levels were normal and the umbilical cord had all three vessels! Thank you Jesus! I am so excited to be having a son, and really really excited for my husband to have a little boy.

20 weeks 1 day

I can't believe we are at 20 weeks plus already!! I feel like this pregnancy it flying by! Tomorrow is the big day...ultrasound day :) I am excited and a little nervous. After the issues we had with the umbilical cord and fluid levels with Hannah, we are praying for just a normal happy ultrasound! I will post tomorrow with the "results" of the ultrasound :)

A Cinderella Valentine

Someone in our house...not myself or Nick...is OBSESSED with Cinderella, and princesses in general. If you guessed it is Hannah, you are correct. For Valentines Hannah got a princess cool-bake oven from grandma and grandpa and Cinderella PJ's and a Disney princess book from mommy and daddy. So what do you think we did this morning?! Well first we had to put on our new pajamas, and then...
We mixed up some lovely "brownie batter" to make some delicious princess brownies :)
And then we put our creations into the oven to bake :)

And then we had daddy look at our new princess book while we waited for our cakes to bake!And finally, we enjoyed the fruits of our labor :)

Happy Valentines Day!!

Give-Away

Brittany over at 4 Little Men and Girly Twins is hosting a really fun give-away. If you want to know what it is, you will have to head over and check it out yourself!

Wordless Wednesday

"I waked up!!"

Playdough

I made playdough for Miss Hannah today...and I must confess to being kind of proud of myself, because I have tried to make it before, and it just never turns out right. Of course that could be because last time I tried to make it without the cream of tartar....but I digress ;)

This is the being silly face...

And here we are being very serious about our playdough...And finally...just having fun :)

Camera is back...sort of :)

Whats this?! A picture...you probably don't know what to think :) Nick figured out this morning that we can just use regular AA batteries in our camera until we can find the special rechargeable ones that we usually use. Mommy was VERY excited :) For some reason, I find it hard to find something to blog about without a picture to go with it...I think that probably means that I am not very creative, but oh well...I am not sure I care :)

So here it is, my belly at 18 weeks and 5 days :) I took about a million pictures, trying to get one that looked decent, and this is still a little off center and fuzzy. Anyhow, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get a good belly picture, I am all ears!! Thanks :)

And just in case you are curious:

A Random List

• I thought this would be a fun way to do an update since I figured out how to use the bullets :)

• We still don't have a new battery for our camera, and I have been finding it hard to think of things to blog about, without any pictures. And I miss taking pictures of Hannah...I see her doing funny things, and think, arrrgghh...I wish I had my camera!!

• This past week I finally got curtains up in Hannah's room. Before we just had a blanket thrown over the window. I know, that is pathetic...

• I also got Hannah's Easter dress on sale for $17.00 this week. It was normally a $50.00 dress, so I was pretty excited :)

• My older sister will be 37 weeks pregnant on Friday!!! I can't wait to meet my neice Sera!

• I got an amazing haircut yesterday. It was probably one of the best haircuts I have ever had :) The problem is that I didn't go to my regular hair lady, who I have been going to since I was five years old, and I feel kind of guilty about that. I am not sure what to do?!?!?

• Exactly two weeks from today...I HAVE MY ULTRASOUND!!! I am kind of excited :)

Hopefully soon we will have our camera battery and I can start taking pictures again! Have a great day all!
