Pinchable

Macy had taken her diaper off and Ella decided it was pinching time. She pinched her and gave her a little pat on the bum and said, "Macy, you're so pinchable and spankable!"
Funny!

Early Ultrasound

I got to have an early ultrasound. I didn't get to have any pictures, but it was cool to get to see the baby and know that everything is ok with it. I hate calling the baby "it". Oh well, 5 more weeks and we should be able to find out. The baby was moving all over the place. "It" looked like it was doing flips!
Anyway, fun to see!

By the way, I got a bella band yesterday. They have them at Target! I haven't gotten to use it yet, but I'm pretty excited. So many people have said they are great! I think I could've just made my own pretty easy, though. I paid 16.99 for a little peice of spandex/polyester... they've got a good business goin'.

Outdated!

Wow I am now realizing we need to update our family pics!  In the ones above, they look so little!  And chubbier! They are growing up so fast! It has been almost a year since we have had family pictures taken.  I guess I'll try to have an update of our new family pictures soon!  (If we ever get them done, that is.)

Ella was almost 3 here

And to compare... 

Now, almost 4 (I took these recent ones last week)

Macy was almost 1 here

And to compare...

Now, almost 2!

Ella's photography skills

I let Ella have the camera and let her loose and here's what she came up with.  Some of them are pretty creative, I think!  Here are just a few...

10 weeks

I'm 10 weeks along and finally had my first appointment. My Dr. used to see me for the first time at 8 weeks but now it's 10. It seemed like forever waiting the extra 2 weeks but now it's beginning to be more real to me because I got to hear the heartbeat. Hearing it for the first time is such a cool thing everytime! I know that there's actually something living in there and that makes me feel relieved. I don't get an ultrasound for another 8 weeks so that's going to be an even longer wait. I need to learn patience...
