My last project

I was on a mission to find a few boy burp cloths that were cute (in my opinion). I had pink ones from Katie and that just wasn't going to work. So after a trip to Babies R Us, Walmart, Target and a few online stores, I had given up finding anything simple in blue or even green. I didn't want cars, dinosaurs, bugs, work trucks, etc.

So I gave in...one more project and I did it with a big belly, sitting on the floor and with a two year old!

I found three flannel blankets, cut them up, and sewed them together adding some ribbon for a bit of color. They work for me, and I have five!

But if any of you know of any simple brands, of simple colors of burp cloths, I just might need one more pack, or I will potentially doing a lot of burb cloth laundry. :)

 

35 weeks!

I am doing well with this second miracle. Getting a little bit more uncomfortable, but for the most part this has been a great pregnancy. I am a bit more tired now and can take a nap along with Katie, but that;s to be expected. Only a few more weeks to go. Amazing!

A birthday date

My birthday day...hours at the beach, resting on the couch to read, walking around Amelia Plantation, getting homemade ice cream and then a date with my love. Nothing beats a day like that!

Thanks Anna (and Joey :) for babysitting! Thankfully Katie had NO problem with us leaving and her staying to play with her friends. She even fell asleep with Kevin, who is Anna's teddy bear. So Sweet!

Our date was to Cafe Karibo and it was SO Yummy! Our appetizer was crab and cheese dip then Justin had a veggie stack and I had delicious crab cakes for our main dish. I so wanted dessert, but I couldn't have eaten one bit of the thick chocolate fudge cake that was on the counter. Finally walked around the cute downtown talking and just spent time being together.

It was a great 31st birthday.

This is my first posted prego photo. I have been on track with this little guy exactly as I was with Katie-weight and carrying low. I am 26 weeks along. Precious times with our second miracle!


 
 
 
 

Finding out what our second blessing would be.

Justin and I, to make things more special to us, have found out what we are having (boy or girl) on dates-a few days after our sonograms. With Katie we went to one of our now favorite date spots, Vivace's! It is an Italian spot in North Raleigh, with delicious food and a great atmosphere. We even found out that Vivace means, "Life" in Italian...it was very fitting!

With this little one, we went to a French Bistro in North Hills call Croquet's. It was delicious as well! Yum! We had super baby sitters for Katie (thanks Melissa and Anna) and a great evening out. The restaurant (which we would recommend) is designed to be very open-so huge doors were opened allowing the breeze to blow in, it is decorated all black, white and red and has very attentive service. We split everything so we could try a lot of things. We had the meat/spreads/cheese/bread tray, a french onion soup, fried trout and a lemon tart. All the foods were fantastic! We opened our card during dessert and found out we are having a little BOY! And then just like Katie we walked over to JCPenny's and bought a cute little newborn outfit. We went for the brown and blue strips...I can't believe how small it is!

We are excited for this new little arrival due mid October. YEAH! We are praying for good health and a safe delivery. I am thankful to be feeling unsick now (after 12 weeks of morning sickness) and on the mend to get a few things done. We can't wait to meet and hold our little guy and Katie can't wait to "help" out. Praise the Lord for this second miracle!

 
 
 
 

It's a.....................

 
 

Is she ready for a sibling?

Katie just told me that she put her babies down for a nap. They always lie face down since that is how she sleeps too. She loves the fact that there is a car seat in the house for her to play with as well. Let's hope I don't find her sibling sleeping like this someday with her special help. ...Though I doubt they will be sleeping.:)

 

Voting starts today!

Over on your right is our informal gender voting for our little one! Please take a minute and tell us what you think we are having. We'll tell you this weekend after our 17 week visit. :)
