Baby Update...

I was at the doc today. The baby is doing great. He scared me this morning though because he will sleep/not move much all night and in the morning, he will move like crazy. Anyway, this morning, I was up at 5 am (couldn't sleep) and I did not feel him move much. I would say about a 75% decrease in the amount he moved. I saw the doc at 10:30 am and he still did not move, although his heart rate was strong. So, I had to be on a monitor for a bit. Well, Demitri finally decided to wake up around 11:30 am and moved a lot. The nurses came in and said he is bouncing off the monitor - they could tell how much he was moving. Anyway, I also lost 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks instead of gaining - a whole 7 lb gain since I have been pregnant. I surely don't look like I have lost weight, but I can tell I have dropped a bit. 6 weeks to go!!!!!

To Our Friend, Mike!!!!

Hey Mike - Billy got pics of some John Deere tractors from Aynor's parade. Hope you like them. He thought you would get all excited to see them! Enjoy!!!

Alessandra Loves Carrots

Alessandra will just pull a carrot out of the fridge and start chomping down!!! Daddy was helping her eat her carrot. I keep baby carrots on hand so she can snack on them!

Isabella and her Candy

Isabella had fun collecting the candy. She got mad when her hands were full because she did not want to put her candy down and she wanted to try to collect some more. Then, she started to put her candy in the stroller...Ahh, she now has room to collect candy. Well, you see that blue frisbee - it is empty. The reason it is empty is because there was candy that some other girls were collecting and Isabella emptied it out!!!! She would take handfuls of their candy and put it in her stroller!!!! It is good those girls knew us!

Aynor Parade

We took the girls to the parade on Saturday. They had lots of fun. I think their favorite part were all the horses AND collecting candy.

Alessandra's New Outfit

Grammy and PopPop got Alessandra a new outfit. Alessandra enjoyed helping Isabella open her presents...it got a little hairy at one point!

Happy 2nd Birthday Isabella!!!!

It's a Ball!!!! Isabella loves balls. She picked this ball out when we went shopping today. She loves balls.
Isabella enjoys her cards. She will carry them where ever she goes.
An outfit from Grammy and PopPop. She also loves her big cardboard blocks. She will build towers and then have more fun knocking them over!!!
New shoes from MomMom and PopPop. I took her to try on the shoes. I left them on her and we went into another store. At the other store, she was telling everyone it was her birthday and she had new shoes. She also got a doll from her Aunt Mandi, Uncle Tom, and Kelly. She loves her dolls!!!

How Much Can She Carry???

Isabella loves carrying around bags. She will fill them up with toys, shoes, sippy cups, and anything else she can get her hands on. I wonder just how much can this 2 yr old carry?

Baptism at the River

I was baptized in a river in Nichols, SC tonight.

Isabella is already to go bye bye. She has to have her hat, sippy cup, books, purse and all her other goodies.

Baby Boy...

So, we finally decided on a first name for the baby...Demetri. We still did not decide on a middle name, but it will come. Alessandra can say Demetri, but Isabella will only say Tri. Isabella is finally taking an interest in the baby in Mommy's belly. She is pointing to my belly saying "baby". She has also taken a special interest in the baby dolls around the house. She will hold her baby, wrap her baby in a blanket, and put her baby's head on a pillow. She has been carrying her babies around the house and fighting Alessandra for the babies. Alessandra loves to feel her baby brother move and gets all excited when she feels him move. She talks often about the arrival of her brother and that she cannot wait to see him so she can play with him. I keep reminding her that he won't play much when he gets here, but when he gets older he will love to play with her. She sang her brother a lullaby and Jesus loves you the other day.

First Day Back to Mother's Morning Out

Today was the first day back at Mother's Morning Out...Yeah!!!! The girls were really excited to start back. When we got to the church, Isabella saw one of her friends and started screaming with excitement. Isabella actually let her pony tail in too. She saw Mommy fixing Alessandra's hair then came over to me to fix her hair. This is the first time Isabella stood still so I could fix her hair. In the past when I tried to comb her hair she tells me "No" and rubs her hands through her hair to mess it up.
