Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween you adorable little pumpkin!!

Just a little proud!!

Happy Birthday Gracyn Ansliegh!!!

Gracyn had an extra special birthday!! She had a blast! It was great to get to spend it with the family, even though not everyone could make it. :-( She had so many presents to open and loved every gift given. She enjoyed the animals on her cake and licking the frosting but passed when it actually came to eating a piece. (Surprisingly she's not huge on sweets. Don't know where that comes from!) She loved all the attention (definitely my daughter) and was sad when it was all over. We just can't believe that our little baby is already two!!

Our little miracle #2!!

We saw the OB today and had another ultrasound so that they could check the lower spine and feet. Since the baby was a little stubborn last time and didn't want to wiggle around so she could get a good look. :-) Everything looks good she says. The spine and as you can see the legs and feet. (perfectly crossed in pic above) They measured my uterine height and I measured 23 1/2 cm which is a week behind and the baby still measured two weeks ahead. Which translates to: Big baby little room!! It also explains why the kicks are so powerful and so often. Everything else was normal. I had to ask for some exercises for my sciatic nerves because they have really been bothering me lately. So now that I have those I do them a couple times a day in hopes it will relieve some of the pressure. We will see! Other than that I feel great! Next time I go I have my Glucose testing for gestational diabetes (standard test) and after that appointment I start going every two weeks. It really is going by SOOO fast! Feb. will be here before we know it!

My California visit!

Sunny California!! The weather was beautiful! Gracyn loved flying on the Airplane when she knew she was going to see Grandma but not so excited to get back on the airplane to come home. She did great though and we had a great time! Wish it was a faster flight that way we could go all the time!

I'm a big girl now!

This weekend was a big milestone for Gracyn. Not only did we take the front part of her crib off to make it into a big girl bed. But it also marked two full weeks of being potty trained! I don't know who this is better for, me or her?

She has done extraordinary well in her big girl bed. The first nap we had to lay her down about 6 times but that night when it came to bed time she layed in her bed without getting up at all. It has been that way since! It is amazing how well this transition has gone!

As for potty training! I am so excited to have a 3 month break from changing diapers. I think she just woke up one morning and decided that she was done with pull ups and was ready for big girl panties. HOORAY!! What ever it was I am extactic!

Only two more days until we are on our way to California! I try not to get really excited the week before because then the week just drags on but I am so excited this time I can hardly wait! I think I am going to start packing today!

This summer.....

Changes....

Turning Two

I cant believe she is turning two! Where has all the time gone? We have officially started the count down until her second birthday which is less than three weeks away! We are so excited to be celebrating her birthday in California. It is going to be a blast! She knows there will be cake and presents and she is really looking forward to it!
We have exactly a week until we are in California and we have started to become really anxious! Gracyn is looking forward to riding on the airplane and I think this time will be the easiest of all because she will be able to color or watch a movie and keep herself occupied. We cant wait to see everyone!!

Our family of Four!

Crossing over!!!

For several years now we have kept a web page on babies online so that everyone can see what was new with Gracyn. Now that we are having another baby I want to keep everyone updated with what is new with both of our little miracles. So I have decided to combine the websites and here we are! Until the baby is born I will continue to document my updates on it's site so that I will have it for the baby book but as for Gracyn's site in the next couple of weeks it will be coming down. This way there will only be one site for me to work on once I have two little ones to take care of. Hopefully you will all understand!
I will keep this one updated as much as I can if not more than I did with the other! Hope you enjoy!
