Peanut, the Big Sister!

Hello family and friends!

Well, it's official, Victoria Kay is going to be a Big Sister!  We are so excited!  We officially found out yesterday, May 18th.  However I have kinda known for the last week or so... old familiar feelings I guess you could call it.  For those of you who are wondering, (and so many have already asked) no, we are not going to find out the sex.  We are waiting.... again.  That was way too exciting and eventful to miss out on.  (But I'll let you in on a secret, my intuition says it's a boy!)

My rough due date is January 26th.  So I would be considered 4 weeks pregnant right now.

So far, not much morning sickness, but I'm not holding my breath.  Just a lot of fatigue and bathroom trips. 

Frankie and I couldn't be happier about this new addition to our little family.  I will keep the blog updated with how things are going, and of course, with belly pics!  Love to you all!!

V's New Habit

So, my daughter has developed this habit when she wakes up every morning (and from naps even).  She watches as I open her door, and gives me a big smile.  I approach her crib, and she immediately rolls over onto her belly, with her bum in the air.... waiting with anticipation. It's time for her backrub.  Yup, my daughter has to have her back scratched before she gets up.  I've even tried talking to her, "Victoria, good morning sweetie, let's get up and go get some milk..." etc etc.  Nope, she sits there patiently waiting, with a smile on her face.  Oh my cuteness.... these are the amazing little things that I love about being a mom.

My 1st Blog

So finally I have made a blog site... something I have been wanting to do for a while.  

So far this month, things have been great.  On the 3rd we took the boat to the lake with our close friends, the Spencers, and had a great time!  It was our first trip out on the boat this year, and there will be many more to come!  

V's half-birthday is May 9th:  18 months old!  I can't believe time has gone by so fast.  She is getting to be so grown up, such the little lady.  She LOVES all the girly stuff- shoes, jewelry, purses, etc.  (That's my girl!)  

We have a lot coming up in the next couple of weeks.  We are going to Southern California on the 9th to spend some time with family and friends.  We have birthdays, Mother's Day, baby showers, and a trip to Disneyland all within the next 2 weeks!  Fun fun!  I will keep posting news and pictures on a regular basis.  Can't wait for what this summer has in store!!
