Some random CUTE pics of Lily

Here are some cute pics I just uploaded from my camera I wanted to post.

It is a......

We are now preparing for Girl #2.....

We are super excited. I have the pictures to prove it is a girl.....the tech was 100% positive. We got an excellent look and pictures to prove it.

No names yet.....still in discussion phase!

Trip to Albuquerque

This last weekend we went to Albuquerque for 3 days and 2 nights. It was a very fun trip, but also very exhausting.

Here we are at the Albuquerque temple. Rob and I switched off and each did a session on Thursday. We then took Lily back on Saturday before we left to take some pictures and let her walk around.

Here is Lily showing us her muscles in our hotel room! She is SO strong!
Here we are at the zoo. The zoo was very fun, and very warm. Lily loved LOVED feeding the ducks.
UH-OH!





We had a very fun trip.....good shopping, good food, good entertainment, good temple visit. It was a very fun weekend and nice to get away from Carlsbad for a minute.

Only 3 more days until we find out what this little peanut is..........stay tuned! I am HOPING this baby cooperates and gives us an excellent view of gender so we can plan accordingly!

Cute Lily video.....but we are her biased parents

199th Post

This is my 199th Post! Craziness......
Life is good.....we are going to Albuquerque to go to the temple, zoo, real shopping, real restaurants etc. It is our little summer vacay! I am super excited about that.

Next week we find out gender! I can't wait! I will be almost 24 weeks along, so they better be able to tell me definitively the gender! With Lily I just knew she was girl based on our miscarriage experiences, etc. I just knew it with her....but this baby, I really have no idea. I think it would be a lot easier to have another girl.....I already have all clothes/blankets needed. I wouldn't need anything new hardly. But, a boy would be a MUCH MUCH different story since I have almost no gender neutral clothes....we would only last one day without putting him in pink....and even then he would probably have to have a pink blanket wrapped around him. So, if it is a boy, I have got some gathering to do!

Then, I am going to Utah the week after. Lily and I are flying up to Salt Lake for 2 weeks to go to a family reunion, hang with my family, and help my sister out. I am definitely excited to see my family and such....not excited to fly with an almost 2 year old on three flights there, three flights back with my big pregnant self. But, it will be worth it since this will probably be my last time to Utah until next summer. It will also be the last time Lily flies free...gotta take advantage of that! My poor husband gets to stay home and work...but I am so grateful he is so supportive of me spending time with my family.

I finally got Lily's hair into a pony-tail! I thought it was so cute. It only lasted like 10 minutes....but oh so CUTE!
Here is my lovely pregnant belly.....definitely bigger belly than I was at this point with Lily.....ah the joys of being pregnant.




That is our story..........

Here are some funny Lily-isms from this week.......mostly for me to record them somewhere.

• She got out her baby doll, and pretends to change her diaper with one of her diapers. SO CUTE.
  
• Rob lightly touched my bootie when he came home for lunch today....the rest of the afternoon I kept feeling little tiny hands on my backside....imitating her Dad! Oh dear......
• She loves to say prayers....will just randomly fold her arms throughout the day and say prayers, so we say prayers a lot more often at this house now! She also can say some of the words with help.
  
• She is finally starting to learn to sleep on her bed for the most part...she has been sleeping on the floor in her room since we had to take her crib down after she climbed out. She refused to sleep on the bed, but is getting much better.
  
• She loves her friend Layla and asks to see her constantly. She loves playing with her, but they both get a little jealous sharing toys...we are working on that.
  
• I was reading my sister's blog today and saw pictures of her kids so I was saying their names...I came to Nathan and said Nathan....she looked real close and then said "Nate?" I guess he made an impression last time we were there!
  
• She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.....I love it too because I can take a shower in peace!
  

Peace out......

July already!

So, I think it has been a long time since I updated so here goes....

Lily is as rambunctious as ever. She thinks she is two and will tell you so if you ask her...even though her birthday is still almost 2 months away. She loves pulling up my shirt and then talking to the baby...she kisses it, pats it, and one day even tried to feed it. It made me laugh.

I am over the halfway mark now...which is exciting. We are going in for an ultrasound on the 29th...and since I will be almost 24 weeks by then they better be able to tell gender for sure!

I am very excited and relieved my mom is going to come down when the baby is born. They will probably induce me around a week early so I don't have to drive an hour and a half in the winter in labor, so I am very appreciative of that! Driving to Roswell in labor wouldn't thrill me. We had to drive 20 minutes in Peoria to the hospital and I thought that was torturous. And, my biggest worry of who was going to take Lily is now solved, so I am feeling a whole lot more calm about the situation! Count your blessings if you live in the same town as any family members...heck, at this point I would take the same state or even adjoining states!

Another funny Lily-ism is that Rob taught her to tickle my feet so she comes running up to me says tickle and then plays with the bottom of my feet. Hilarious!
