I had to share these great pictures that we had taken over the Thanksgiving break. Kelly Garvey is an amazing photographer and very creative. She is located off 529 and hwy 6 and came to our neighborhood to take her pictures. I would HIGHLY reccomend her to take your family pictures!!!! Hope to post more once I get our CD she is sending. Happy early Birthday baby girl! Mommy and Daddy love you!!!

Chris & Lindsay - I loved meeting you guys & Olivia. You were so much fun! Olivia is precious & I can tell she will be a wonderful big sister the way she carries that baby doll around with her! I am so happy for you guys - you have exciting times ahead with a 2 year birthday approaching & a new baby coming! I cannot wait to see you guys again in February! Thanks for choosing me to photograph sweet Olivia!

Baby Kylee Update

So, after spending over an hour in the car and waiting 40 minutes(due to running late because of our lovely Houston traffic) I finally was able to see Dr. Gunn. She was very happy to tell me that Kylee looks PERFECT! I was so excited to hear her say that and it made me feel more at ease. All my bloodwork was normal as well and she said this was a perfect pregnancy. Always good to hear after feeling so sick for 3 months. But, of course it is well worth feeling sick! Kylee is moving around a lot more and I can really feel her now. I am wondering if she is going to be as busy as Olivia was and of course still is. I will be one tired momma if I have two busy bees running around. Chris and I are trying to decide on how to decorate her room. It was easy for Olivia's room because when we moved her room matched her bedding. I said we were meant to be in this house! But, Kylee's room is a very light blue and since she is a girl that is a no go. Need to get on the ball since I am already 21 weeks.

Now for Olivia, I can't believe that my baby girl is going to be 2 in less than a month. She is growing up too fast and I am not liking it! Chris and I are both off this week for Thanksgiving and we are enjoying every minute with her and I think she is really loving her daddy time. We had her 2 year pictures taken Sunday morning and they few that she sent turned out beautiful. I can't wait to share them with everyone!!!

We hope all of our friends and family have a very Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy every minute of your family time! I know I am very thankful for our growing family!!

She has a name!

Chris and I came home from a celebratory dinner at my parents Tuesday and got to the web to look for a baby girl name. Neither one of us really thought about names before because we did not want to get hooked on a name and it be the opposite sex. SO, after about 30 mintues and looking at different ways to spell the name we now know her name will be Kylee Ann Charbonneau! I am so excited that both of our girls will share both grandmother's middle names. Olivia share's Gay's middle name, Annell and Kylee will share my mom's middle name Ann. I was very surprised at how quickly Chris and I came up with her name but we agreed so quickly. It is funny how hard picking out your second child's name can be. We knew before we found out Olivia was a girl that would be her name. Needless to say, we are excited to have a name and not have to call her baby anymore!

Baby Charb #2

We found out today that our newest additon to the Charbonneau family is a GIRL!! My early prediction of a boy was wrong and the past couple of weeks I have been feeling it might be a girl. She is measuring at about 10 inches 8 ounces and her heart rate was at 130. She is going to be a modest one or at least she was today. I had to get up and move around, roll over to each side and she finally cooperated. Chris and I started to worry we wouldn't find out. The radiologist said the heart looks great and she is growing as she is supposed to be. It is always good to hear good news like that! I have my next monthly appointment on the 23rd and we will see how we are progressing. Now the name game begins. We hadn't picked out any names because we did not want to be set on one name and then it be the opposite gender. So, now it begins. We had Olivia's name picked out and that was our only choice. Hoping it comes to us fast so we can start calling her by her name and not what Chris calls her....."Jane Doe".

Flutters

I remember everyone asking if I felt Olivia moving. My mom always said it is just little flutters but I never knew what she meant and never knew if I felt her move until the night of IKE. Now with this one I can tell when he or she is moving and it is such an amazing feeling. I forgot what it was like to feel a baby move in your belly. I am now 16 weeks and it feels like after the LONG first trimester the weeks are starting to go by a little faster. I have a doctors appoitment Tuesday for my monthly check up. I am excited to hear the hear beat again. Chris and I go November 2nd to find out the baby's gender. I thought it was a boy due to all the opposite pregnancy symptoms I had with Olivia but now I am not so sure. A friend at work did the Chinese calendar and it said girl and my mom and I tried the pencil test again and it said girl. I am not sure I will believe either one since they both said boy with Olivia but we shall see in a few weeks.

I am excited to  be making Olivia's halloween costume this year. It isn't anything extravigent but I have made it all by myself...well with a little help with the sewing maching from my mom. But, other than that it has been all me. I am very proud of myself and I know she will look super cute no matter what! We are planning on going to the Pumpkin Patch at the Old Time Christmas tree farm with our neighbors and the Lakewood United Methodist patch with our good friends the Tannehills in the next weekend or two. I can't believe the holidays are coming so quickly as well as Olivia's 2nd birthday! Our baby girl is growing up too fast but we have enjoyed every minute of it!!!

Baby Charbonneau #2

Here is our second blessing! I am now measuring at almost 13 weeks. My due date was April 6th until Tuesday when the radiologist asked if the first was okay. I said, "sure". I mean what else would I say??? We will find out the gender November 2nd and Chris is looking forward to being able to see the baby on the screen instead of just the picture. My OB was very excited to see the results of my scan. Which made me feel so much more relaxed as well. I was not worried but it is always reassuring to hear great news from a professional. She asked my how I had been feeling and I said sick! This pregnancy has been totally opposite from Olivia. I am finally starting to feel better which is so nice since I am back at work and just want to play with my little tootie when I get home. She has been so great! Olivia will be a great big sister and such a big helper! She does such a great job helping Kelly with the little one's at her house.I don't think that she realizes yet but we try to tell her that there is a baby in mommy's tummy. I will do my best to keep everyone posted on our progress.

Olivia's little pool

I had to post a picture of Olivia sitting in the dogs water bowl. We were swimming at my parents and she got tired of wearing her floaties and ear plugs and decided to get out. All of the sudden Chris moves the water bowl and Olivia walked right up and sat down. I love this picture and the funny thing is that I took this with my dads iphone. She is such a cutie if I do say so myself!
