Ok, here is our new little girl's profile-check out those BIG lips!! :) We have another u/s scheduled for the 31st so hopefully we will get a better shot of her for all to see!



Here's the cake that I worked so hard on! :)






Uncle Wick putting on the party hat!





Here is that moment I was referring to before-when Mom about lost it!






Blowing out his Dora candle-GOt it!






"yummy cake Mommy!"






Aww, what a cute elephant! and sooo soft-I think I'll name him Peanut!

Here is our little "trucker" after having about run over his great grandma!! You can tell he thought it was so amusing!

Nothing else really to report. Xander is just getting over a bout with a bad cold. He had an ear infection and bronchiolitis. It is amazing how quickly children can get sick and then how quickly they bounce back! The baby has started kicking up above my belly button now. Mark likes to feel her kick and the other day, Xander was snuggling with Mommy, laying his head on my stomach and little Avery was kicking so hard that I could see his head bobbing up and down. I kept thinking that she was in there saying "hey, get off of me!!" It is as if I can hear them squabbling already-ahh...I can't wait! Xander has started talking about his baby "sisser" whom he calls "Abreee". Mark and I were asking him if he was going to help take care of his sister by bringing her blankies and making her laugh when she is sad. His reply was "yes blankies, yes, laugh, I funny!" It was so cute! And my favorite sweet story happened last night when I was singing this love song about a mother and her son to xander before bedtime. We were laying on the couch together and he was snuggled up to me. Throughout the whole song, he was just staring into my eyes kind of sleepily and all the while I could feel Avery kicking like crazy. It was very endearing to know that I had both of my babies all to myself in such a loving embrace! (I know, I know, awww.... :)
