Baby #2 is almost here!!!

WOW is all I can say! It really feels like my first and second trimester took FOREVER!! And now it seems like each day is going faster and faster. The third trimester has def been the quickest and yet the hardest. I am so ready to meet this little baby and find out what it is!


34 Weeks with Tenlee/Baby#2
 

    We had my little brother Matthew take our maternity pictures and he did an awesome job. I was really wanting the sun to come out, but I really love the way they turned out and I am glad we did them when we did because the leaves were still on the trees and we were lucky to find a corn field that had a few rows of corn still up!
 
 
 
Tenlee made her little brother or sister a Build A Bear and
then we had one made for Tenlee from the baby. She had so much fun, and I
cannot wait to get a picture with both kiddos and their bears!
 
 
 
Tenlee goes with me to my doctors appointments and apparently has been picking up on more than I thought she would. She now gives me checkups almost every night. She starts out by asking me "how you feeling mommy?" and then asks me "is baby moving?", the two questions my dr always asks me right away. She loves sitting on my lap and putting her hand or face on the belly and always gets the giggles when the baby starts kicking her. She is now asking us when the baby is coming and that she is so "cited for baby" I cannot wait to see her face the moment she meets this baby!!

decided to test it out with her baby doll "Emma".

Getting VERY excited to meet her little brother or sister

 36 Weeks with Tenlee/Baby #2
Carrying both baby's exactly the same!

Our Dr. is so AMAZING and has always included Tenlee in every visit. My last visit she let Tenlee put the jell on my belly on her own and then hold the monitor for the heartbeat. I love having a doctor that cares not only for me and the baby but for my whole family!
 
36 Weeks


 So this will be my last post before baby #2 arrives. I had my 37 week (shy of 2 days) checkup yesterday and everything is looking good. My dr said baby could be here any day now. I was actually suprised how much progress I have made at not even 37 weeks. Tenlee came at 38 weeks, so my dr is pretty sure this one will be here early as well. But we have had some sickness in our house this week so I am praying that it is cleared up soon. After my dr appointment I started having some really strong contractions, we actually started timing them because they felt so strong and real. But thank goodness they only lasted a few hrs so I am hoping to get through this weekend and by then the bugs should all be gone and baby can come anytime!!!

End of Summer into Fall

We have had a very busy summer and yet another busy fall! I feel like summer-fall went so fast and if it wasn't for pictures I don't know if I would remember any of it!
 
 
Swimming in her pool...daddy tried convincing her that she should get a blue one, but of course a pink one came home with us!

 
Seeing how tall the corn really is!
 
Going on a bike ride with daddy while mommy cooks supper! (She asks to ride bikes almost everyday when Tyler gets home from work)
 
She helped daddy pick green beans and came in to show me (and yes... she has grown quite a bit so her pants are a little short:)
  
Fun at the zoo
This was the only thing she wanted to see...the giraffes. They are her favorite and her stuffed giraffe "Lucy" had to go with us to the zoo.
 
 
Marcus told me he had a gotten something for Tenlee but he needed to have her one morning so they could go pick it up together. He came and picked her up and she waited by the front door for his truck, and a couple hours later they showed back up and there was a baby jersey calf in the back of his truck. Tenlee informed me that Uncle Bub got her a new calf and the two of them named her "Sweetie". 

 


 
She loves having daddy pray at supper and at bedtime.
I love this picture of her!!!
