Hii or Shii

We had our gender party last night to reveal what baby # 3 is. Pappy, Grandmama, Uncle Josh, Aunt Sarah, Margo, Jude, Uncle John, Aunt Emily, and Reba were all there. So, the big party began with Uncle Josh slinging the BBQ. It was delicious! As all of you know from my previous posts, we have all become obsessed with Wii. So, to reveal the gender husband and I created a Mii character of the baby and after Aunt Sarah dressed her up she was very cute. That's right it's a GIRL! 3 girls ages 3 and under. We are very excited! All of husband's family guessed it was a boy so, everyone was very surprised. Thanks to all of you who voted on the poll. 3 of you guessed girl and 5 of you guessed boy. So, congratulations to the 3 who were right! We can not wait to meet our new baby girl (who does have a name).

It's A.......

We had our ultrasound yesterday and we know what we are having. We wanted to tell husband's family in person. So, we are having a gender party tonight to celebrate. Then we will tell everyone else. Until then, I have created a poll on the right side of the screen. Let's see what you think it is. No guessing for the 6 of you who do know. The pictures are from the ultrasound yesterday. Happy Guessing!

White is NOT her color

The Belle was helping me put laundry into the washing machine this afternoon when I heard The May say "Uh Oh Mamma". My motherly instinct knew it was not a good uh oh so off I went to find her. She is running towards me with white something all over her lips and some sort of applicator in hand. Yep you guessed it .... white out. Apparently she thought it was lip gloss and onto her little lips it went. My first reaction was to call poison control (this would make # 9 or 10 in 3 1/2 years) but after realizing she did a very good job of not getting any in her mouth I decided she was fine. That stuff is hard to get off though.

X Rated Olympics

We were watching women's beach volleyball last night on the Olympics. The May was getting ready to go to bed when she suddenly noticed what we were watching. She said: "look those girls are in their panties." Well, they pretty much were so we just agreed with her.

So, my friend Jessica (and her kids) were going to come over today for my birthday. Until....The Belle woke up with a fever (99.5). I know it’s very low, but it is obvious she is not herself (lots of whining). Now we are on our 4th cartoon and its only 10:30. And it is raining. I envision toys’ covering the floor by the time husband gets home. My birthday was great. I am very excited about my gift from Uncle John and Aunt Emily. They pre-ordered me a copy of Jon and Kate Plus 8's new book that comes out in October. Thanks to my mom and some others who gave me money I got a new DVD video camera. So, I spent last night video taping the girls. It mainly consisted of The Belle being a gymnast and The May sitting in my lap watching through the view finder. The Belle LOVES the Olympics and imitates every single move each gymnast makes. It is so funny! Husband got me a new beach bag (that matches my bathing suit), flip-flops, and some delicious chocolates (the girls refer to as birthday candy). All in all it was a great birthday. If I can just make it through today.

New Bible Verse

The Belle loves church on Sunday nights. Her teacher is Mrs. Sherry. Last Sunday night on our way home she was telling me all about what they did in class. She said "Mama Mrs. Sherry said to love the Lord your God with all your heart and to color your picture. Did you know that Mama?" Too cute!

New Do's

It has been such a busy week. We started the week off by going to play with Athan and Lael. Tuesday we went swimming at Nana's house. Wednesday we took a trip to see John and Emily at their new condo. Of course we made a trip to the beach since it is right across the road. Thursday we did laundry and the girls got haircuts. This was The May's first haircut and she did great! You really can't tell how cute their hair is in this picture but, it was the best I could get. Husband went back to work this week. So, I am exhausted .... I forgot how hard it is to parent without someone with you all day especially when my belly seems to be getting bigger by the second. My birthday is Sunday so, we are going to celebrate at my in-laws and watch the opening ceremonies to the Olympics. It should be fun!
