If you are wondering where the Christmas pics are...

They are still on my camera. I got a new camera for Christmas and figured out after the fact that I need more software for my computer to read the camera. I will be checking into that and then post some pictures when I can. I used my older camera for Ian's birthday so I could get them on the computer right away.

Ian's 2nd Birthday!

First thing Ian did was grab a bottle and crash. He had no interest in food, even though we had his favorite - chicken nuggets! (Yes, I think he is too old for a bottle. However breaking him from it is proving difficult. We are not pushing too hard till after Caroline gets here since I am sure he will regress a little after her arrival anyway.)






Here is a picture of the cake. Ian LOVES cars! He loves playing with them so much the teachers at daycare nicknamed him the car man.





Ian eating the cake.












I finally convinced him to use a fork...




Savannah insisted that we take a picture of just her piece of cake. (I am not sure why..but she was VERY insistent that this HAD to be done.) We also got a picture of her enjoying her brother's cake. We could not get a really good picture because she was too busy cheesing!






Here he is opening the presents. I got some more..but they were just white on the camera. I am not sure why. I think I may have used up the memory on the card. I'll try to get some more later. His big one was a set of emergency vehicles. He tends to love firetrucks and ambulances and police cars. I think he likes the bright colors and the noise they make. Now if we could just convince Savannah they are HIS toys...

Ian's big boy room

Just in case anyone is interested in what we are doing for Ian's big boy room, I will try and post pics..

Here is the bed:





Here is the bedding:


Update

Well, there is not a lot to update really. Things are progressing about the same. The doctor wants me to work less hours per week since I have been contracting some. The contractions are not really doing anything, but still they want me to take it a little more easy. This is easier said than done with 2 small children at home.

We have made a lot of progress on the nursery. It is still not completely done though. I will post pics when it is.

This is what we have done:

1. John finished painting the room. If you want to know the colors of the walls it is Behr from Home Depots Gobi Desert color. It is just a neutral color.

2. We have the crib together. It is in new baby position and the bedding is in it, as well as the sleep position thingy to make sure Caroline stays on her back.

3. The changing table is in place complete with changing pad cover and wipe warmer. I have not hung the diaper stacker yet.

4. Rocking chair is in place.

5. We have a couch in there, but I have not covered it yet. I have the cover, we just have not got it on it yet.

6. We have bought curtains and a new curtain rod, but have not hung them.

7. We are going to put the futon in there as well. (Yes, it is a large room). It needs a cover. It is not in there yet because Ian is using it as his bed until his big boy bed gets in.

8. I have made letters that spell her name for the wall. However, I need to add the ribbon and then hang them.

9. Her clothes are divided out by size and the ones she will wear at first are either in the drawer or hung in the closet.

We have a lot done, but it still seems like a lot to go..and I am sure I will think of other little things to add as we go on. There is no definate c-section date yet..but I am guessing around the 12th or so..which means 7 weeks to go max!

4D Ultrasound today...

Well, we got some pictures and they are pretty good. She did have her faced squished into the placenta though so that complicated things a little

She is also breech, but that does not matter since I will have a c-section anyway.

We think she looks like Savannah. Another thing that reminded us of Savannah was that her mouth was going the entire time! LOL! We may have another talker on our hands...

Here are some pictures! Some are just of the face, in one she has her little hand in her face and in others she is yawning. We have more, just let me know if anyone wants to see them! Enjoy!












Savannah is so funny sometimes...

We were having a post Thanksgiving meal with John's mom and cousin. Savannah said she was going to say the prayer..and she did. Right as she was thanking God for her food, the microwave beeped (I was still warming up the gravy). So the prayer came out something like this..."Thank you for our yummy food..by the way go get it. Thank you for our family..." She never missed a beat..she just threw the go get it in there..

Kids...
