Dakota

Yesterday was my 28th birthday. I tried really hard to convince Matt that I'm only 26. Unfortunately for me, he's good at math. Anyway, this post is not about me, it's about Dakota and his incredibly poor timing. I will spare you all details and just say that we had to put him to sleep yesterday. We are so sad. Seriously, I am crying as I type this...over a cat. And we are not what I would call "crazy cat people" but he has been our little kitty for 7 years and really was a great cat in spite of his faults. You can only imagine how terrible I feel for saying all those horrible things about him only a week ago.

 Adelyn has asked about him a couple times so I told her that "Dakota went to see Jesus". Now whether or not he really did I don't know, but it sounds nice. So at lunch time she said "Dakota, Jesus, Noah, God". I really hope she's implying that Dakota went to play with Jesus, Noah, and God and not that he has now become a bible character like Jesus, Noah, and God...

The picture of Dakota with the quilt I made reminds me that he "helped" me with fabric selections when he stayed with us. He loved to slide the fabric squares with his paws along the table top. Sounds like Adelyn in a deep thinker. Dakota, say "hi" to Ruggles for me!

Isaac said that he will give you Gracie, if that would make you feel better! Seriously, we are really sorry for your loss. I will miss having my hair batted by Dakota and seeing his backflips!

Are you ready for this?

Monday was a very exciting day at our house. I celebrated turnig 29 (Yikes! I'm getting old) and we had a fetal echocardiogram to check on Baby Lilly #2. We didn't get any great shots because once again this little baby had their hand right next to their face. A very comfy position apparently. I'm happy to report that my birthday this year was a million times better than last year  and Baby Lilly's heart looks great! But that's not what you want to know now is it. Nope, you want to know what our name list looks like...So far Matt has suggested Jelaine  and Lapchild (for traveling purposes) and Adelyn has suggested Adelyn, Susie, Martha (if it's a boy), and Baby Scruffa Muffin. Still not what you're looking for? Hmm, how about that Baby Lilly #2 is a... BOY!!! And while we are so not ready for a boy and a little shocked we're really exicted too. Thanks to everyone who voted, commented or left me messages on facebook about the Chinese Calendar. Both i...

"I have ponytail!"

Yesterday Adelyn wanted me to fix her hair in a ponytail. I can assure you it's much harder than it sounds. Poor kid got my hair. But she doesn't know it and after seeing herself in the mirror she was so proud. The first thing she wanted to do was show daddy. So, we made him a video... At dinner I was lamenting about how grown up she looks and that it makes me kind of sad. Matt's sympathetic response? "Her hair really isn't long enough for a ponytail if you ask me. She looks like a boy from the front and when she turns to the side she looks like a pirate." Ahh, just what every girl wants to hear, "you look like a pirate."

The Chinese Calendar

In less than a week we will find out if Baby Lilly #2 is a boy or a girl. We are excited, anxious, nervous, and can hardly wait! As I'm sure you know, there are countless wives tales people use to predict a baby's gender. My doctor predicted a boy based on the baby's heart rate and Matt's prediciting a girl because "the Lord knows what he needs." When I was pregnant with Adelyn women would tell me I was having a boy because of the way I was "carrying" (even though we already knew she was a girl) and recently I saw a pee on the stick gender predictor kit at Target. One of the more "reliable" gender predictors someone told me about is the Chinese Calendar.  It's based on the mother's lunar age and there are two different calendars to use. So, click on these links, see what it says about your child/children, and come back to vote in my polls (in the left column) about how accurate it was for you! Make sure you vote for each child if yo...
