Family News

Well today we had a 4D ultrasound of the baby. At first, she had all her limbs smack in front of her face (literally in the fetal position!) But then she moved around a little and we got a good look at her cute little mug! Jason and I agreed we thought she looked like Samantha! So everything looks great and she is growing everyday. Samantha now points to and kisses my tummy and says "baby sister!" It is so sweet and I can't wait to have both our girls together.

Samantha is in Kinder-Care one day a week. We call it her "school" and she loves it. She really loves her teacher, Ms. Gina, and all her new friends too. She is growing into such a tender-hearted, sweet girl. She loves to help take care of mommy and our dog Sophie. And she loves to dance and play horsie with Daddy. But most of all she loves to swim with Daddy. He has really worked with her in the pool this summer and her confidence is amazing to watch - and a little scary! She does a great job kicking her legs and moving her arms. And she LOVES to go under water!!

Well we are entering our last trimester of this pregnancy. In one way I am very excited - of course! - to meet our new daughter. But I am also a little sad that it will soon be over. Aside from the early morning sickness I experienced, I really love being pregnant. I love feeling her move and watching my tummy bump around from the outside! And I love that Samantha will have a sister for life (and vice versa). I can't believe we are going to have two little girls soon!! We are so blessed!!

Thanks for checking in with us. I will try to add more and new photos asap. We love you all!

Hi everyone! I had trouble for a while logging back in to update the site, but I think I have it all figured out now (or so I hope!) I am almost 25 weeks pregnant and doing well. The baby moves all the time and is fun to feel kicking around. I think we have another active little girl coming our way! Samantha is enjoying summer and really talking up a storm. It's amazing how everyday her sentences get longer and vocabulary gets larger. She is really growing up!! We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying summer. I will post new belly pics soon!! Take care!
