I've been showered!!!

My first shower, thrown by Aunt Shauna was beautiful. We celebrated our 2nd girl, and Tracy and Ty's (Jim's cousin) 1st boy!

It was a family affair with everyone there.

The "Big Sister" to be!

I also had a shower at Luna's with some of my closest friends and family. It was a fun little luncheon with good company, yummy food, and great gifts.

Thank you to all!!!

My fabulous hosts, Jamie and Pamela

The Grandma's to be...

Sydnie or Kenna...hmmm...the votes were almost even

Happy Mommy and Daddy to be!

Great friends, good times!!

I LOVE Oxiclean

So I guess I need to contact Oxiclean and give them my own testimonial - who knows, maybe I'll land myself a commercial! After getting out Miss S's bins of baby clothes, I was shocked to see how many had spit up stains that had soaked into them and yellowed while being in the bins. I started a pile to go to the Goodwill, but as the pile got larger and larger, I thought, "there has to be something that would get these yellow stains out"... Oxiclean Baby Stain Soaker was the answer!!! I soaked about 25 onesies in my laundry room sink with hot water and 3-4 scoops of Oxiclean (for several hours). The stack that was headed to the Goodwill is now cleanly folded and almost completely stain free. I highly recommend this product to anyone with children, especially when they're infants and you can't use bleach on their clothes!!!

Baby Girls' Room

This is where we started - we chose a taupe color for the walls that matched the rest of the house. Jim spent one day painting and did a great job.

I had already purchased the pink and animal print bedding, and I knew I wanted a big pink and brown tree on the wall. After lots of internet searches, I found a combination of two trees I liked. We had a friend, Amie Ice, come over, and with her talent, creativity and paintbrush, the tree began to come to life.

I wanted to incorporate the animal print with the tree, and wah-la.

Amie did a fabulous job!

I walk by "her" room and can't help myself from opening the door to look inside. I've sat in the glider chair on numerous occasions, just thinking that soon there will be another blessing and miracle in our family to fill this room.

Disney on Ice

What a fun show! Disney on Ice here at the Selland Arena, and Miss S couldn't have been happier. We went early to see some of the princesses, and Miss S was decked out in her beautiful princess dress.

As the lights went down, and Mickey and Minnie came out on the ice, Miss S was out of her seat clapping and cheering.

Out of her seat again, she screamed "Hi Sebastian!" and looked at Jim and I like she couldn't believe Aerial and her clan we really on the ice in front of her.

The Lion King

Cute little Tinkerbell flew in from above - great performance!

Tired little girl made it to the end with tired eyes!

30 Weeks Pregnant

So at 30 weeks pregnant with baby girl #2, I'm feeling a bit large. It suddenly hit me! I'm having trouble reaching my feet, I feel like my skin is overstretched (especially when I stuff myself), and being that it's the middle of winter, I feel pale white and plump (I need sunshine and exercise)! But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. As of now, baby girl will probably be delivered by c-section on or around March 31st! We cannot wait!!! I just started to fill her drawers with clothes - some new, and some hand me downs from Miss S. Looking at all the tiny little outfits makes me remember just how little and fragile they are as newborns. Her room is getting its final touches of brown and pink paint, and I will post pictures soon.

I LOVE SWIMMING LESSONS!!!
