What's up with Liam!

We went to the Doctor last week for our 28 week appointment.  Everything is looking great!  I am still feeling really good, so much better than I remember the first pregnancy being.  I am sleeping through most of the night with an occasional 5am wake up.  Most of the time Jack is waking me to ask if I ever plan to get out of bed and go to work.  ;-)  So far all my tests have been good, except for being anemic yet again.  So I just need a larger dose of daily Iron.  My next appointment is in 2 weeks, I will be 31 weeks along at that visit.  We will start 2 week visits from that point and I should hopefully be getting an ultrasound.


Changes from 3 weeks.
I had Jack take this picture after rolling out of bed, so I look a little...fatigued!  LOL
Liam has been moving a lot and is a really strong kicker.  Lilly loves my belly, she talks and kisses Liam all the time.  In this picture she is telling Liam she loves him...she thinks my belly button is an intercom or something!  I think Liam will be bringing Lilly a baby doll when he comes.  She is really getting into diapering her Teddy, rocking him, and playing Mommy.  I think she will enjoy a baby of her own to take care of.

Comparison Lilly at 30 weeks on the left and Liam at 29 weeks on the right!  I think Lilly is in the lead.

I Like It!

Here is a fun little video of Lilly singing in the car...


Lilly is a huge fan of music and loves the beat of the current pop favorites.  When I flip through the stations trying to find a good song to "rock" out to Lilly always manages to scream "YES!" when we hit 95.7 or 104.1...neither station does much for the rocker in me.  Watching her jam to the beat in the backseat and try to sing along is totally worth the compromise.

Have I mentioned how forgetful I've been this pregnancy?

Have I told you how forgetful I am this pregnancy?

Have you heard me say how forgetful I get when I'm pregnant?  HA!  So I was just reading my blog postings from about this time last year to now.  As I get to June 2010, what do I read?  A birthday post for Lilly...I DIDN'T FORGET...well I forgot I posted about it, but I didn't forget to post about it back then~ which is all that really matters!  So the secondary belated birthday post was just a bonus! 

Don't ask me how I even function on a daily basis!  Jack says I tell him things repeatedly (of course making it sound like I am having to remind him of something) I think I'm just doing it to continually remind myself!  Thanks again Jack for so kindly putting up with your crazy pregnant wife!

Born today, TWO tomorrow (or last June)

I know I've said this before, but man how time flys!  I realized that I never put up Lilly's Birthday post.  Soooo...

Lilly turned 2 years old...in June.  Yeah, I'm rotten!  So better late than never.  I can not get over how much our little girl changes on a daily basis.  She is finally getting hair, woohoo!  I just wanted to put a couple (a ton) of pictures in here to show you how much she has grown.

Overall you are just an awesome little girl.  You have so much personality.  You are sweet like your Daddy, and hard headed like you Mommy!  But you are still one of a kind.  Who are you at this moment? 

  • you are curious, everything is "why?"

  • you are so loving, my little cuddle bug

  • you are polite, please, thank you, and an excuse me when you burp

  • everything "hurts" you

  • you have found your voice and are VERY LOUD

  • you still LOVE your Teddy, he goes everywhere with you

  • you still like Jack's Big Music Show, but Dora The Explorer is the "it" thing now

  • you sleep in a big girl bed

  • you are very funny, earning the name Silly Lilly

I could go on and on, you are so many wonderful things!  All-in-all I would have to say your a keeper.  We love you with all our hearts and we can't wait to see what this next year brings.

Fun with photos


So I recently took some belly pics for a friend with Lilly as my Assistant.  She was so excited about taking photographs with props she wanted in on the action.  Especially since the prop was one of her favorite toys, her ABC blocks.


Here is one of the actual subject...
