Pregnancy Update

Today I'm 15 weeks and it's true what they say, the second time around goes by much faster! Matt and I are so excited to be expecting baby #2 but a little nervous too. For those of you who are counting, yes, I was pregnant in both of my sister's weddings. 7 months in Darla's and 11 weeks in Corrie's. Luckily at Corrie's wedding no one cornered me in the buffet line and shamlessly rubbed my belly while I was holding a plate of food.

You may remember that while I was pregnant with Adelyn I received weekly emails comparing the baby to produce. I signed up for those again and this week the baby is an apple. I've been surprised by how different my pregnancy symptoms have been this time around and my cheif complaint of late has been lower back pain. Adelyn has been very sypmathetic to my cause though and eats crackers in bed with me whenever I want. She also sweetly pats me randomly throughout the day and says "I sorry you don't feel good!"

She is really excited about being a big sister. When we first told her we would ask "Adelyn, do you want to be a big sister?" and she would respond "no, I be da wittle sister." But now she's decided that she would like to be the big sister. And if you ask her if she thinks the baby will be a boy or a girl she says "just a baby". Matt on the other hand is quite confident that it will be a girl and after listening to the heart beat my doctor predicted a boy. So we'll see...

Here is a picture of Baby Lilly #2 right around 13 weeks. The face isn't very clear because the baby had their hand right up next to it but I'm prediticing the same nose as Adelyn.



O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.

The Terrific Two's

Adelyn officially hit the 2 1/2 mark a couple of months ago and oh my, this kid is a mess! She is just so full of life, personality, words, thoughts, opinions, energy, did I mention words? There are days when I'm pretty sure she's trying to reach her 5,000+ words used for the day quota before lunch time and it wears me out! She is also the sweetest, smartest, funniest, most charming 2 year old in the whole world. (In my humble opinion as her mother of course.) Don't get me wrong, she is by no means perfect. The past couple of weeks she's been in rare form but we think the two's are far more terrific than terrible. She is very much into the details and notices everything. She sees those decorative ball things that go on car antennas everywhere. One day she saw a red Mickey Mouse head and told me the reason it's red is because his overalls are red. It's been so neat to hear her start to use logic and reason or give explanations. Adelyn is quite the tease an...

Eye to Eye

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to know that Matt & I don't always agree on everything. For example, I think Matt should appreciate what a bargain shopper I am. Matt doesn't think I should shop. Clearly, someone's mistaken. But when it comes to parenting we really have been in agreement on every issue (yes, I know it's only been 6 months) but one...Diapers. Now before you think to yourself "I wonder if they're using cloth diapers?" let me just tell you that we completely agree that money should never be saved on 3 items. Toilet Paper. Paper Towels. And you guessed it, Diapers. So what's problem? It's the size of the diaper. If it was up to Matt, Adelyn would still be wearing the newborn size. (I think he's in denial about the fact that she's actually grown since being born). I however, the head diaper changer, fully understand the importance of a well fit diaper. In Matt's defense, he has never actually changed a blow-...

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9
