The virtue of patience

is something I DON"T own!

Yes, 3 days passed my due date...  I am still at work, still pregnant, and just playing this waiting...waiting...waiting game!

I know your baby can come anywhere around the due date and it is just an estimate, but how depressing to push dismiss on your Outlook calendar, cross off the date on my wall calendar...  People asked me this weekend when are you due?  Oh, last Friday!

We had a fabulous weekend with Allie and friends, but still we want Allie to finally meet her little sister and we are READY for the 4th member of our family to arrive!  Even if we are still on the fence with 2 names for this little one...

Here is a pic of me at 40+ weeks!  I am hoping this is the last pregnant photo I take and the next one is us in the hospital!!

Allie is 2!

 OUR ALLIE NICOLE IS TWO!

Hard to believe this little one has been only a part of our lives for 2 years.  She is our world!  We love her so much and are so blessed to call her ours.  She is a always on the move!  The average toddler walks 2.36 miles a day, I would say Allie is up to 4 miles a day :)  She is 35.5 inches tall (89th percentile) and 28 lbs. (68th percentile).  She is a good 4 inches taller than the next friend in her classroom.  Always have a smile on her face and is ready to have a baby join her in the fun!

Countdown is on!

We are officially two weeks from our little #2 due date!  Can't believe how fast it has gone.  Are we ready?!?  Well we have diapers and we took out Allie's NB clothes...  Are we ready for sleepless nights , nursing, etc....no....  Are we ready for the new baby smell, to see what she looks like, to introduce Allie to her little sister, and open our hearts to another little girl, YES!

Nick and I finally settled on a name two nights ago!  What a relief to have a name picked out before our new one arrives!  It was a constant back and forth, back and forth between two/three/six names, but yes we finally have one!  I only have to keep a secret for 2 weeks, which is probably good :)

Our #2 is moving all over the place and it is so cool to feel her do twirls in my stomach and have Nick and Allie feel when she moves.  Allie has no idea what she is feeling, but she does now point to my tummy and say baby.  She loves how there are both Allie diapers and Baby diapers and Allie clothes and Baby clothes in her room.  She cares for her little babies so well, I HOPE we will have an easy transition for her not being the only child, but for the next two weeks we are excited to spend some quality time just the 3 of us before #2 comes into our lives and make us a family of 4!

Countdown...14 days til June 21st!
