Ava: Becoming a Big Sister

Since Ava has learned she will be a big sister she has become even more hilarious than ever.  I thought I'd let you know some of the cute/funny things she has said lately.

The day we told her that there was a baby in my belly she really wanted it right then.  Then she lifted up my shirt to look at my belly button (she thinks that it is the baby).  I told her that the baby has to get really big before it can come out.  Now she checks the size of my belly button and declares that it has gotten bigger and it is ready to come out.

The other morning she was brought her Aqua Doodle Mat into our bedroom while I was getting ready for church.  She had really drawn a face (circle-ish shape with what looked like eyes and a mouth and hair too!).  She said it was Gammie.  Then she decided to draw Granny, and finish up her masterpiece with a picture of the baby in Mommy's belly.  She came to me so serious and said, "Mommy, does the baby have on panties?"  I said, "Nope.  No panties."  She goes back to her drawing for a second and comes right back.  "Mommy, does the baby have on a diaper?"  "Nope.  The baby is just naked in Mommy's belly."  She came back one more time to ask if the baby was sitting in a baby seat.  She wanted to make sure she drew the baby just right.  How cute is that?

Another morning she was playing with a baby doll and she said, "This is my baby sister."  I replied, "Awww she is SO cute.  What's her name?"  Her answer, "Gilbert."  Nice, huh?

She's really excited about being a big sister and she is convinced it is a girl!  Let's see if she's right.

Adley's Birth Story

I have been a little overloaded in life and let our blog go to the back burner!  But, I must write about sweet Adley's birth story just like I did with Ava and Anniston :) On June 8, after a sleepless night, Kyle and I got up and got ready to head to the hospital to meet our third precious girl.  To say I was nervous would be the biggest understatement ever.  Even though I had gone through 2 csections before, it didn't mean I wasn't scared and nervous....it's a big, scary surgery!  Mostly I was just afraid of the needle.... We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and started getting prepped for surgery.  First came the beautiful gown (I was so happy it wasn't the paper/plastic gown like I had with Anniston...I sweat to death in that gown), then came blood work and the IV, which I was not excited about....I hate needles.  And then the VERY worst part started.  Waiting.  Waiting for the magical hour of 7:30 am.  It took forever.  I was...

Baby #2 is On the Way!

Yay ! We are having another baby! This has been a terribly hard secret to keep for the past few weeks, but now we can shout it out! Yesterday we went to our first doctors appointment and then did about 6 hours of telling our huge family. Here's how our day went: Our appointment was at 9. We registered, sat down for 1 minute, and then we got called back to get the ultrasound. I had never had an ultrasound this early with Ava, so I really didn't know what to expect. The ultrasound lady just keep looking at this screen and there would be a beeping sound every so often and we were all so quiet for at least 5 minutes, it could've been an hour though. One thing I don't like is silence. And there was a lot of silence. The ultrasound tech and Kyle were both staring at the screen with straight faces, so at that point I started praying and waiting more. Finally, she turned the screen for me to see, and there it was. This tiny little baby...the head, the body, I could...
