Precious Moment

This morning when Shea woke up the first thing she wanted to do was listen to my heart beat. (She has been doing this since she first heard the baby's heart beat.) She listened for about 5 seconds, then got up and said "Mom, your heart sounds like music. It's singing a lullaby to the baby." It was so cute and precious. She will be a great sister.

Friday the 13th

So I hope everyone survived Friday the 13th without any scary accidents! Our 13th was actually a great one. We had our first doctors appointment. Yes, I am finally pregnant! It has been a long time coming and we were both ready to give up. We have been trying to have another baby for almost 2 years. Now that I think back, I was definitely not ready to have 2 kids running around. So it worked out for the best. My due date is September 26th, and I must say it couldn't be more perfect. Just before winter! Don't have to worry about driving the pass in snow when I go into labor. Always a plus! I am feeling absolutely great. No morning sickness at all. I would knock on some wood if there were any around! Shea is really excited to be a big sister. We heard the heart beat for the first time today. Shea made the doctor replay it 3 times. She thought it was amazing. She says that it sounds like a race track with horses. She made a lot of people laugh while we were there, telling everyone about the horses in moms tummy and showing the pictures of the baby. She wouldn't let go of the pictures until we got into the car, and looks at them every 10 minutes on our fridge. I pretty sure she is ready to be a big sister! ha ha. Well, I hope so for my sake!

Happy Birthday Shea!

We celebrated Shea's 3rd Birthday on Tuesday. It started out with just the 3 of us, because none of our family members could make it up from Cali and Utah. So we were going to make the best of it anyway. She wanted to have a Blue's Clue cake, luckily I found this easy one on the Internet.

She also wanted to go swimming. So the Saturday before we went to a Hot Spring swimming pool. Being winter and all, they were only open on Saturday. Oh well, it worked out perfectly. She had a blast. Sorry no pictures of that.

Here is Shea with her birthday cake. She loved it.

The past couple weeks she has been watching a lot of cartoon that had magnifying glasses in them. So that is what she wanted.

Here she is testing it out!

Goof Ball!

And surprise! Aunt Brooke and Uncle Ryan came up that night to surprise us! They also gave Shea a wad of cash! She was so excited to buy candy with it. KIDS!

Happy Birthday Shea Shea. We love you!
