So much going on and so little time to blog!

So I have LOTS to catch everyone up on. As most of you know we are expecting our third baby May 21, 2012. This little one was a complete SHOCK and we are very excited. Sadley, I could have been on that show I always make fun of "I didn't know I was pregnant". I guess I was showing signs to Chris and he had asked me to take a test before he changed our health insurance. I kept putting it off thinking he was just crazy but he brought a test home on a Tuesday. I took it right away to prove that I was right and he was wrong. Little did I know that I was wrong! Needless to say, I was frantically calling OB's the next morning trying to see who could get me in that day. Of course, Dr. Gunn could not get me in until the next week and I could not wait that long. I got an appointment at the Methodist Willowbrook and was still unsure that I was really pregnant. So they did an ultrasound first and I saw the baby. I started crying not believing that it actually happend on our own. The technician then proceeded to tell me that I was 12 weeks. Again, started crying thinking... I have a 7 month old at home as well as an almost 3 year old. It took me a day to have it set in and believe it is real but we are all very excited about this little miracle!!!

As for the girls, Kylee is growing up and is doing great. She is trying to crawl and is so close that we think it will be any day! She is sleeping through the night and eating meats well with veggies and of course a fruit. This Wednesday I took her to the doctor due to a yucky nose and found out she has a double ear infection. Poor baby has never been sick but has been such a trooper. I also went to the doctor due to sinus and now we are both on medicine. Fingers crossed Olivia and Chris stay healthy!!

It blows my mind that Olivia will be 3 in 19 days!!! Where has the time gone?? She has brought so much joy to our lives and we are thankful for her everyday. She is talking all the time and sings to Kylee(which is so cute especially when she sings you are my sunshine) She is a great big sister and helper. She is starting to show more emotions now. For example, today she got to watch a show and then I said okay, we are turning off the t.v. and she made a sad face and said, "but it is still my turn". It was so cute and hard not to laugh. Olivia has given up naps and rest time so I have been trying to do little activities and fun things with her while Kylee is sleeping. She is excited about seeing Santa and also excited about her birthday!

I have lots of pictures to share but our computer has been hit with a virus and so I only use Chris' work computer at night. Sadley, I am too lazy to go find all the pictures and cords to upload. Sorry but I still feel yucky and of course tired. But, I will have lots to share from our new baby, family pictures, Olivia's birthday pictures and the girls visit with Santa.

I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Fun with Kylee

Just a few pictures I took of Kylee. We had fun and of course Olivia was a big help!!

Kylee 6 months

It is hard to believe Kylee has been in our lives for 6 months! The time has gone by so quickly but of course we are loving every minute. She weighed 17lbs 13ounces and is 27 and 1/2 inches long. She has eaten all the veggies and we are almost done with fruits. So far the only thing she doesn't like or really doen't set well with her stomach in sweet potatoes. She eats solids 3 times a day, fruit for breakfast, fruit and veggie for lunch and veggie for dinner. She is not a huge fan of cereal anymore so I mix it in with her veggie at night. Kylee now sleeps in her room upstairs and is only waking up once a night to eat and then goes back down until 7:30. She can sit up on her own, roll over both ways, grabs for toys and Olivia's hair. She has not yet shown signs of crawling which is fine with me. With Olivia we were so ready for her to crawl and with Kylee I can wait as long as possible!! Not sure I am ready for 2 busy girls!! She is our smiley Kylee and we love her. Olivia is learning to share and is doing very well with sharing with Kylee and toys.

Slacking

I have been really bad about blogging lately! The girls got the stomach bug, then Olivia had a rash, and the past week she has had an ear infection and virus that she had a fever. So here we go, at then end of September we took our first family trip to Sea World in San Antonio. We left Friday morning and Olivia did great on the drive but Kylee didn't like it as much. Once we arrived we unloaded and went to the River Walk and Alamo. We had our usual Friday night dinner at a mexican restaurant on the River walk. Then we headed back to our hotel to get rested for our Sea World adventure!! The girls were out of their element so no one really slept well that night. Olivia had a hay day running around the room. It was quite funny to see how she thought the freedom was. Kylee woke up every 2 hours even when sleeping in bed with me. So needless to say the next day we were all tired! Olivia woke up that morning and said " I ready to see the dolphins, they are awake"! Of course it was 6 a.m. and we tried to tell her they were sleeping but we were all up. It was so fun to see her so excited about seeing something. We arrived at Sea World right at 10:00 and started off by feeding the dolphins and then wen to the Sesame Street Bay of Play which was Olivia's FAVORITE!!!! She loved seeing Abby, Zoe, Elmo, Cookie, Grover, Count and Murray. She was so happy and in love! After we finished there we went to see the Shamu show. She enjoyed it but of course both girls were getting tired. Chris and I made an executive decision to go ahead and head home. We had a great time but have learned that the girls are not ready for over night stays just yet. Here are some pictures to show how much fun we had.

Kylee Ann 5 months

I know I say this every month but I can't believe Kylee is growing so fast! She is almost half a year old. How has it gone by so fast? She is such a sweet, happy girl! She loves watching Olivia, Kylee is a great eater...she has had peas, carrots, and green beans all made by me. Kylee loves to be outside and has been in the pool a few times and has very active legs. She rolls from front to back and continues to roll ALL over the floor. She pushes up with her arms and is very close to sitting up on her own. She sleeps most of the night waking up only once to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Her nickname is "Smiley Kylee" as she always has a beautiful smile on her face. She loves when we sing to her and Olivia likes to sing to her as well. We are thankful every day for our two beautiful girls and love watching them grow!

Potty Time!

I have to say that Chris and I are VERY proud parents!! I decided to potty train Olivia last Wednesday and go cold turkey. NO MORE DIAPERS!!! Chris was home due to food poisoning the night before and so I thought might as well start today. When she woke up that morning I told her we were done with diapers and she was going to wear big girls panties. I made a big deal out of it and she was so excited. I also bribed her with candy but hey, it is working and she gets so excited after she goes potty. The first day was a little difficult but Thursday she only had 3 accidents, Friday 2, Saturday 1 and Sunday NONE!!! She does wear a pull-up at night and that does not bother her but when she gets up she tells me she needs to go potty. Today we went back to our work out group and one of my friends brought a smaller potty that her daughter used. Olivia went twice. Chris and I can't believe how quickly she caught on and how great she is doing. It is hard to believe my baby girl is growing up so fast! It makes me sad but very happy at the same time. Here are a couple of pictures of her sitting on her potty and her casual dress as we were training. She was so funny!

My shoe diva! That's my girl!!!
