Maternity Pics! 11 weeks, 2 days

Our good friends Lisa and Matt were visiting us from SC and we took this opportunity to get some pregnancy pics of the both of us. Lisa was 26 weeks pregnant and I was 11 weeks. We had such a fun weekend. Here are just a few of our photos that Jim took.

A Baby On The Way!!!!!!

Lily is going to be a Big Sister!!!!!!! We found out on August 8th that I was pregnant! We are super excited. I had my first ultrasound appointment on September 9th and I measured at 9 weeks, 0 days. The baby looked good and his/her heart rate was 170. My EDD is April 14, 2011. So it looks like we will be having a spring baby!!

I went back for my second appt on September 16th. I was able to hear the heart rate again and it was a strong 163 beats per minute. My blood pressure was good 108/68.

My morning sickness with Lily got started around 8 weeks, but with this one it hit me at 6 weeks and is still around 24/7. Of course I know that this is a good sign, but I will be glad when it is over. I know w/ Lily it stopped as soon as I hit the 2nd trimester so I hope it will be the same with this one. I am 11 weeks now and I have noticed the morning sickness is not as bad and I also seem to be getting my energy back which is great!

We went to Waycross this past weekend to tell everyone the great news! We bought a shirt for Lily that had "Only Child" crossed out and underneath it said "Big Sister" so Lily was able to break the news to everyone! Everyone was very excited and happy for us. We are so happy to share our news with everyone and are so excited to be expanding our family. We are looking forward to our new little blessing.

My next appointment is October 14, 2010.


In this pic you can see where the eyes are. He/she was looking at us.



Lily looked so cute in her little shirt! I think she will make a great Big Sister!

Lily's 2 Year Checkup

On Monday Lily went in for her 2 yr checkup. She now weighs 26 lbs - 45th percentile (she wasn't too fond of standing on the scale) I think it is a little scary for her since it wobbles. But she stood there long enough to get a weight. Her height is 33 1/2 inches which puts her in the 50th percentile. Her head circumference was 19 inches which puts her in the 80th percentile. She did great during her visit. She received the flu mist and one vaccination. Her next checkup will be at 3 years old and she will not have any more vaccinations til 5!!!! Can't believe my baby is 2!

These 2 pics were taken on Lily's actual Birthday August 24, 2010. She was looking at her singing Dora card we got for her.

This is her BIG Cheeser smile!

Happy Birthday Lily!!!!

Today my sweet sweet Lily turns TWO!!!! It's hard to believe that 2 years have gone by since we were blessed with the most precious gift. These last 2 years have been a wonderful time for us. We have had so many new experiences. We celebrated Lily's birthday on Saturday with close family and friends. Since she adores Dora it was only fitting that she have a Dora themed party. Leading up to the big day she was so excited and couldn't wait. She had a great time on Saturday and particularly liked it when we all sang Happy Birthday to her. She said that was fun! Below are some photos from her big day!




Lily was so excited about her party!

Atlanta Trip

We spent most of last week in Atlanta with a short stay over in Greenville before coming back home. We had a great time! We all enjoyed going to the Georgia Aquarium and visiting The World of Coca-Cola! We stayed in Midtown at the Georgian Terrace, right across from the Fox Theatre, so a great location. The weather was so nice in the mornings that we ate outdoors 2 of the mornings for breakfast. On Thursday we arrived at Matt and Lisa's. Lisa had baked a cake to have an early celebration of mine and Lily's birthday's. We had a great time seeing them, even if it was for a short time. We made our way back to Florida on Friday. Below are some pics from our trip.

Lily loved the Coca-Cola bear, he spent probably 10 mins w/ her. I think he liked her too!

The yummy Birthday cake that Lisa made to celebrate our birthdays!

Lily loved the cake. I had to stop her because she was going to bite into the entire cake!

Fun times!

Sea World August 2010

We visited Sea World again on Monday, August 2nd to let Lily watch the Elmo and Abby show one more time before it leaves for the summer. She had so much fun, after that we saw the Dolphin Show (Blue Horizons) and it was great as well. She loved watching the dolphins jump out of the water. Then we had lunch and took Lily over to the water area and let her play for a little while. It was so hot so I know it was a nice little break for her. Below are some pics....
