Trying to be more crafty

As most of you know my mom made many blankets and burp clothes for Olivia. I did not make anything for that poor baby. I have started to try to be more crafty and artsy for Olivia and now Kylee. I made Olivia a new bow holder since she has so many bows on her other how holder. I am attempting (with A LOT of my moms help) to make Kylee's bed spread and bumper pads. We are also getting ready to paint her room and put up the chair railing. We are hoping to get Olivia moved into a big girl bed by the time baby girl gets here even though she will be in our room for the first few months. Gay left a day bed with one of Chris' cousins and they told us about it at Christmas and we are going to pick it up Friday for Olivia. I am hoping it is an easy transititon but we shall see.

 Our Christmas was such a blessing. We were able to spend time with all of our families and get to visit as much as we could while taking turns chasing Olivia around. She is such a busy bee! I am definetly ready for the day that we can sit as a family at someone else's house and eat dinner together. I feel so blessed to have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter and one on the way. We are a very lucky family and God has given us so much to be thankful for.

I registered for the hospital the other day. It felt very surreal since I feel like we just found out we were expecting again. I go back for my first 3 week appointment January 11th and get to do the much dreaded glucose test. It is hard to believe that Kylee could be here in about 10-11 weeks if she comes early like Olivia. I have pulled some of the newborn clothes out and of course 3 months as well because we all know our babies are not small. I wonder if Kylee will look like me or Chris. Don't worry, I am not getting my hopes up that she will look like me ;)  I am just looking forward to meeting her and Olivia realizing that she is a big sister. Right now, she thinks there is a baby in her belly as well. Yes, it is cute but I would like for her to realize there is going to be a change before it happens. We shall see.....
