Miss Maggie

So everyone says she looks like big sis. Here are a few photos of Kylie a few hours old.
I still can't really tell. We can not wait to meet sissy. She was curled up in a ball and it took a while to get these shots. Kylie's 2nd birthday was yesterday, we have been celebrating all week. Big birthday post to come!!!

Happy Birthday to my Baby!!

Well my baby is TWO today...two, I cannot believe it?? I swear everyone says that one they are newborns time flies, but honestly when Kylie was newborn I never thought I would make it to this point, HAHA. Sorry but those who have actually been through clinically diagnosed colic know what I am talking about. And I must say the old saying that colicky babies make the sweetest children really is true. Don't get me wrong we have our moments, but for the most part we are blessed with such a sweetheart. She will give you hugs, kisses, ask you if you are okay and never wants anyone to be upset. We have really been celbrating her special day and it has been so much fun. This is the 1st time she actually understands that something special has been planned just for her. We had our entire family over last night for a little family celebration and she loved showing everyone her "pretty" decorations and the dining room table with balloons and flowers. She ate it up! We had a great time and it was a special night!

Miss Independent on Independence Day

We had a fantastic 4th of July! One thing I love about our little town is that everyone sure knows how to throw a good party on a holiday. The 4th was no different. Saturday we went to the pool for fun and games. They had LOTS of fun and entertaining pool games. Kylie participated in the 4 and under coin dive in the baby pool. Some of the big girls helped her and she loved. She was so proud of all of her coins. She got quite a few too! Lee and Tommy decided to participate in the beer dive and the biggest splash contest. Both HILARIOUS!! Lee won the biggest splash contest by a landslide, it was funny and we were all glad that there was still some water left in the pool. The judges robbed him though and gave the ribbon to another guy (only b/c it was his birthday!). His splash did not compare. Haha. They beer dive was pretty funny, they put a bunch of tokens in the deep end and all the adults get to dive for tokens for beer. We thought we could use the tokens all summer, but later found out that you had to use them all that day. For those that know Lee...you know that all 14 beers were consumed before we left. Haha! It was a fun day with friends. Then on Sunday we went to the Mallory Drive neighborhood cookout and 4th of July parade. Thomas Clay and Kylie had a blast in the wagon together.
Ready for the coin dive

Daddy's Day Beach Trip

Honey and Paw-Paw took us to the beach Father's Day weekend. It was so nice!!! I did not see any oil and did not even smell anything. The beach was beautiful. They still had red flags up so we could not get in the water, other than that everything was perfect. I really hope the hope the oil situation gets under control soon! Amanda, Jerry and the cousins were down as well and we all had a great time together. Kylie is quite fond of her cousins. Lee and I drove down late Thursday night. Friday was spent by the pool and we went to the Wharf that night for dinner and ice cream. Saturday, we got up and went down to the beach to play in the sand and then swam at the pool. I did some shopping that afternoon and then we all went to take the kiddos to play and eat at the Crab Trap. Sunday we stopped by the outlets to get Lee some shirts on the way out of town. I so wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks Honey and Paw-Paw for a great trip!
My not even 2-year old insisted on riding the ferris wheel, I was scared she would get on it and freak out, but she LOVED it!!!

MM Update

Back to the Doctor yesterday for a check up on Miss Maggie, I can not believe I am going to the Doc every 2 weeks now. Check up was pretty good except I did get a weight warning. ;) Since this is the last time I will be pregnant I have been taking advantage!! Other than that, the appointment was rather non-eventful. I got my RhoGam shot and we scheduled my next appointment for Wednesday, July 7th (Kylie's birthday!). We will do the 4-d ultrasound at that appointment. Kylie's 4-d pictures were not that great, so we are hoping Maggie's will be better. So far I am still measuring on track and the blood pressure is good. I have been very sore this time around and the Doc says that is due to such a fast labor last time which really stretched all of my insides giving me less support this time around. I am much more anxious this time around. With Kylie everything was scheduled, with Maggie there is a good chance I will go into labor on my own. I don't know why that scares me, but it does. I mean no one wants their water to break in the middle of Winn Dixie, you know what I am saying? =)

Kylie's new room is 95% complete. She has been sleeping in there for 2 weeks and it has been a rather difficult transition. We have had to lay down with her until she falls asleep and she has been waking up at night. She has only got out of the bed once and she did that when we were trying to let her just "cry it out". Hoping she will adjust soon. She is napping in there great, but I need her to go back to her sleeping schedule. I am tired and it is not very comfortable getting in a twin bed with her, but I refuse to let her in our bed.

Maggie's room is pretty bare. My friend, Sarah (more on her to come), is working on a painting for above the crib and we are getting some drawers refinished for her nursery. It is pretty bare in there, but we are hoping to make some progress since we will be at home on the weekends now pretty much until Maggie's arrival.

Time is flying by and we have lots going on the next few weekends. I have been busy working on Kylie's 2nd Birthday party which is coming up and we just returned from the Beach with Lee's family (beach trip post to come).

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to Lee! Kylie loves her Daddy so much, I hear her say "MY Daddy" at least 100 times a day. Thanks Lee for all that you do for us! Happy Fathers Day from your girls! We love you!
