Baby News!

#2 Profile (leg in face :)

Well, today we learned we have a healthy, busy, bustling little GIRL! Yep, Maddy's intuition was right and we will be celebrating the arrival of a little sister. Unfortunately, her naming sense is not quite up to par. So far we have a vote for baby "Puh" and "Butter" ????? No idea.

While Daddy fears no one will ever want to work on cars and that he'll have two weddings to pay for - we are very excited. We can only hope little girl number two is slightly less dramatic than her big sis! ;)

I've already felt this pregnancy was "different" because I don't feel #2 is quite as busy as Madelyn was. While this brought me hope of a more laid back child, I learned today that by simple positioning of things (the placenta), I feel a bit less movement now that I might have with Ms. Mads.

The bubble she looks to be blowing is apparently umbilical chord.

Lucky for us, we will be returning to see baby again in Eight weeks. While this is typically the only ultrasound done, there is a small concern that my placenta is a bit too low. The doctor assures me that I am very "borderline" and that 99% of the time this takes care of itself, but they do want to check again to make sure all is safe for delivery. He also added, "Plus, it gives us another excuse to see the baby again." So we are good with it.

#2 Looking at you.

Now for the star of our blog. I really need to get better about carrying around our camera but I feel that you may only want to see so many pictures of us at the park or the zoo. Although every outing with this toddler seems to turn into an adventure!

My new shades.

The stories our little girl comes up with are entertaining. Let me see if I can remember a few....

The other day I called her "Bug" and she very seriously looked at me and said, " I Maddy Melton" And when Shaye randomly busted out a little song of "Mama Mia" she stopped him yelling, "No Daddy, Mama NOT Mia!"

This morning, my princess stopped me from getting her dressed to pick out a new shirt because "No Mommy, I don't want that Pretty one." Did you know a shirt could be too pretty to wear?

We have had a lot of chats about being a "Good Listener" and listening to what Mommy and Daddy say. Now at different times, especially when she wants something (e.g. fruit snacks or a lollipop) She says, "I'm a good listener."

Well, that is all I got now. I'll have to start making a list :) Every day is an adventure with her. I look forward to all these moments with number two, and I'm sure there will be extra funny times with both of them together!

Hippy Madelyn.
New love for headbands, even if they only last about 30 minutes before "I lose it."

Love to you all, x
