What a SWEET SURPRISE she was!!!

And we can't WAIT for the next one to get here!!!!!

Reminiscing....

So, I am trying to finish Olivia's scrapbook from the 1st year of her life and I couldn't help but to start thinking about when she was born. It made me even more anxious and excited about Julia's birth (like I'm not maxed out with excitement already!). It just seems like yesterday that I woke Kevin up in the middle of the night and told him to time my contractions. I wanted to put up some pictures of when Olivia was born and some others that I love. I know I've put them up on here before but that was almost 2 years ago, and they are some of my favorites!

I had my 36 week check up on Monday and nothing has changed....keep your fingers crossed that it won't be too much longer!

35 weeks!

Today I am 35 weeks! Time just can't go fast enough even though I'm getting nervous about it all and trying to figure out how I am going to handle 2 girls! I know it will be wonderful though! Next week I start going to the doctor every week, so we will see if this little girl is getting ready to come or not. It's getting harder and harder to chase Olivia around, but she is the best little girl. I couldn't ask for a sweeter, more helpful child. We will keep you posted on things!

The weather here has been playing tricks on us and getting up to the 70s in the afternoon. So, we have been spending a lot of time playing outside. One thing Olivia LOVES to do is drive the tractor. Kevin takes her on rides around the neighborhood and she gets so tickled about it. I guess that is just something special between fathers and daughters becuase I know I use to love going on tractor rides with my daddy too.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

We hope that everyone has a wonderful day with lots of love!

CONGRATULATIONS OKIE!!!!

Okie and Ally had a healthy 7lb 1 oz, 19" baby girl yesterday, Addison Payne. We rode up to the hospital last night to see them since they are only an hour away from us. They are doing great and Baby Addison is the prettiest little thing! We took pictures but I have to get them developed and then I'll post them. Well, congratulations to Okie....we know he is going to be an awesome dad!

Baby Shower!!!

January 27th my friend's Lindsey and Kristin through me a baby shower! It was so nice of them to do this and everything turned out wonderful! Lindsey had some cute games we played and we got a lot of really nice gifts. Olivia sat in her own chair beside me and helped open all the presents. She did so good! For those of you who don't know yet, we have decided to name the baby Julia Anne. Just so you won't be shocked when you see the picture of the cake! :) I have more pictures of the shower that I want to put on here. They are of all the girls that came and me and the hostesses. I will get them up asap!

Such a big helper!

A Visit From The Wordsworths

Kevin's friend from the Coast Guard, Chad, his wife Kelly and their little girl, Abigail came to visit us. We haven't seen them since we left Louisiana back in 2006. Abigail and Olivia loved playing together. Abigail will turn 1 year old at the end of February, so there was a little bit of age difference, but they did great together! Olivia loved babying her and being a little momma to her. It was so good to spend some time with Chad and Kelly. We use to go out with them in Slidell before Olivia was born and they were just dating. We miss hanging out with them and the rest of our Coast Guard family back in Slidell. Hopefully it won't be long before we can take a trip to visit them!
