Big Sisters Anxiously Waiting!!!

Kiley and Presley don't fully understand what they have coming but we talk about it a lot. They know there is a baby in my tummy and they give him a lot of hugs and kisses. They just don't understand that he is going to come out and live with us forever! I cannot wait to see their reactions. They absolutely love babies and I know they will be a big help. I was having some contractions last night and Presley said that Bentley was crying and wanted to come out. So cute! I have some random pictures to share of them being sisters and silly girls!

One day, I was trying on dresses for my showers and taking pictures and Presley wanted her picture taken!



The girls giving each other kisses one night at dinner.



Presley "pretend" calling Marmee one day.



Nonie knitted the girls these sweaters and I took some pictures to send her.









Another big family announcement! My sister in law, Katie, is engaged! Trey is such a good guy and we couldn't be happier for them! Let the wedding planning begin!!



Last week, Presley had Opposite day at school. We put her shirt and pants on backwards and then she got to pick her jacket, shoes, hairbows and sunglasses!



I will go ahead and take this opportunity to share where we were the night before this picture. Daddie was working late and Presley decided to put a bead up her nose. I had to send Kiley over to the neighbors house and take Presley to the pediatric ER. It was quite the experience. She has stuck a popcorn kernel up her nose twice before but I have been able to get it out myself. This time I couldn't because the bead was bigger. I was so paranoid about being in the ER with the flu going around. I would not let Presley move from her seat in the waiting room and we washed our hands the entire time. The ER doctor was able to get the bead out and she even gave me two of the "tools" she used, for future use. Hopefully Presley learned from the incident. We shall see!

Earlier this week, Presley went grocery shopping with me and the cashier gave her some stickers. This is what she did with them.



Yesterday after I picked Presley up from school, she was watching TV in the living room (resting) and I was working in the office. She came in and had taken all of her clothes off and put my rain boots on. So silly.



We got a new tray for our coffee table and for some reason the girls think it is a chair....







I finally got a shoe rack installed on my side of the closet and the girls love going in there and playing with my shoes. These were Presley's shoes of choice last night.



And Kiley's.



As you can see, there is never a dull moment with these two girls. I can't believe we are adding a 3rd to the mix. He will just triple the fun!!

Bentley - Coming Soon!!

I have been going to the doctor every week now for a checkup. I had my last sonogram on the 17th and she said he looks like a chubby baby! They measured him to weigh about 6lbs 10oz, but the sonograms are so inaccurate this late in the game. We are hoping for a big healthy boy! At all of my weekly visits, my blood pressure has been good and his heart beat is strong. I had bloodwork done last week and my iron was low, so I am on iron medication for the rest of my pregnancy. I am hoping it will keep my energy level up. I am still going to the gym!! I am barely dilated to a one, so I can continue working out!

Now for the big announcement! We go in on February 5th to induce! Our precious son will be here in less than a week! We are so excited to meet him. We have been using the weekends to get ready for his arrival. I finally finished his nursery and wanted to share some pictures!

















It is still a work in progress, but definitely livable for now! Decorating for a boy has been quite a challenge. I am still working on making it a little more "boyish".

Neighborhood Dinner Shower

Last Monday, my wonderful neighbors threw me a dinner shower at a local restaurant. It was such a nice treat and totally unexpected. We have lived here a little over a year and have already met so many nice people!! Here is the group!



The gift table!



Mom came and got to meet all of my fun neighbors!



Since I can't put hairbows in Bentley's hair, I have been wanting some cute hats for his little head. Here is a cute one!



In addition to the hat, Bentley got this adorable jacket! He also got some more clothes, a play gym, some embroidered burp cloths and onesies and bottles!
