Busy days.


Hello! My Mommy and Daddy have been keeping me so busy, I barely have time to keep up with my posts! We have had a lot going on, whether close to home or on the go -it is rare that we've had a weekend of "do nothing" but once in a while it happens and it is great!
A few weekends ago, we helped Ms. Heather and Brian put together TWO baby cribs, and other baby gear. Yep, this friend and co-worker of Mommy's is due for twins about the same time I am going to get my baby sister. We also got to have a BBQ with friends that night and meet baby Benjamin. Jacob is my friend that I go to school with and his Mommy and Daddy recently got back from Korea with his baby brother Ben. He's so cute and easy going. Mommy says she hopes Baby #2 is a lot like that in our house too. (Somehow we didn't get a picture of Ben this day)
Jacob and I and cupcakes :)

I then got to spend a WHOLE day with Caileigh (not that we don't hang out all the time). Her Mommy and Daddy were out of town for the day so she got to take a nap and everything at my house! We talked Daddy in to going to the park, the mall, a visit to the Easter bunny, and pizza for lunch. My exhausted Daddy kept saying "So this is what it is going to be like?" and Mommy kept reminding him that Baby girl and I won't be so close in age.... I don't really see why it would be such a big deal :)

The next weekend, my Grandma and Grandpa Eichenberger came to see me! They had a very cool trip in store for me when they took us all to see the Nascar race in Fort Worth!! My Aunt Macie, Blake, Cousin Koevin and Ryan all came down to go too! We were so close to the track we even found ourselves covered in bits of rubber. I had so much fun, I'm still talking about the fast race cars! Unfortunately, it was a long day so Daddy talked Mommy in to leaving the big camera at home and our little camera ran out of batteries so not many pictures from the main event. I did get some good play time in though and still ask where "my boys" are at times. Daddy and I took everyone to the zoo in the morning and Grandma and Grandpa took us all to Chuck E. Cheese's. It was my first time, and I LOVED IT!

A couple weeks ago, Mommy and Daddy took the day off work to take me on another special outing. My friends Alex and Eva and their Mommy, Sarah came to visit family on a farm south of here. Chris is unfortunately deployed right now, but we were happy to see the rest of the Kings! Farm life is so much fun!! I got to do so much stuff and was so tired and dirty by the day's end. I'm still singing about the animals and asking when I get to go back!

Popsicles!

This goat was quite pushy when it came to the treats...
... Maddy was an equal opportunity giver. "No, I want the little goat"
Baby goats born just that morning!
Boo boos on the farm. Not to worry, Nanny fixed me up!

One tired, dirty toddler = Successful day on the farm!

I am also asking Mommy if Alex and Eva can come to my house, but she says they went back to South Dakota :( Sarah did say they may be coming back for another visit around Thanksgiving, but that just seems so far away!
24 weeks (Baby almost 27 weeks now)
Baby is doing well. Momma is gaining less weight than with Maddy :) and everyone is healthy. Doctor gave Mommy some new medicine as the heartburn continually got worse and now she isn't even on anti-nausea medication anymore. She is feeling so much better - everyone is happier! I love giving my baby kisses every day and talking to Mommy about when she is going to come out. I'm so excited!!

More blog to come. For some reason, Mommy can only upload one picture at a time and as this blog took 3 weeks to post already.... we'll try to do more Wednesday. So much to share people! :)

Love to you all, x
