22 WEEKS!
Well, today I am 22 weeks pregnant! It is so hard to believe how quickly this is going by.....we are so happy. Yesterday I had another appointment and all looked good. She is moving alot, constantly, and I am savoring each little kick and punch because for now, she is safe and she is all mine. In May I'll have to share her with the world but not for now! Her sonogram picture from a few weeks ago was so cute - she has my feet bless her heart! I cannot wait to meet her and see my two daughters interact. I still can't believe my Libby will have her very own sissy. I am so happy and blessed beyond measure.
Libby Libby Libby - our little amazing PRINCESS! She gets sweeter every day! I know I sound obsessed, and that's fine because I pretty much am. I am just amazed by her. Her new words include:
Taint Chu - Thank you
Nana - Banana
Cheeths - Cheese
MoA - More
ReaTeee- Ready
Set-Set
Go - Go!
Waatr - Water
Side - Slide
Sing - Swing
Peas - Please
Yaaah - Yeah
No - NO
Mine - MINE
These last two are VERY easy to decipher. She wakes up and says, NO, MINE. It is so funny and so normal but wow....she says it all the time. Last night I heard her say No in her sleep! Not kidding. I love that child. And of course she does her signing still and is very good at that. More, No More, Milk, bye bye, hi, etc.....it's very helpful!!
Her language is really developing. She is repeating things that we say all day long and she is really understanding and grasping what we say. It's like all of a sudden, she gets it. Almost 19 months old, it's absolutely insane to me how big she is. Her 18 month doctor appointment went very well, she's gaining weight normally and she's going to be tall like her Daddy!! She has grown over two inches since 15 months. She's eating pretty well, her favorites this week include bananas, black beans and Pirates Booty chips. She loves Mexican and not sure where she got that from - yeah right!
We love playing with the ball, she'll say "ready!?" and grab my hand with one hand and have the ball in the other, and we'll roll the ball down the hall for hours! She still loves to be outside, sometimes we'll just go out and walk the neighborhood talking and picking up leaves and pinecones. It is a very simple life, and I am so happy and thankful for these small things and life's tiniest little pleasures!
It has been arctic here for a month, but just this week we have had a break and the temps are in the 50s and 60s so we've been outside as much as possible. Today though, it has been rainy so after work we'll head to Leapin' Lizards, another jumpy place. I'll post come pix tonight. Love to all!

Baby SISTER!!!
We are so happy and feel so blessed to announce that Libby will be getting a little sister in May! AHH! We are so very excited. Friday was our appointment for the anatomy ultrasound...this pregnancy is just flying by. It snowed last Thursday night with loads of ice and sleet, so most companies and offices were closed, or you were given the option to stay home. Our nanny wasn't able to make it in on Friday morning due to her icy situation so we took Libby with us to the Doctor. I was a little nervous but she did perfectly and it made so much sense to have her in there with us. The tech asked if we wanted to do the anatomy first or the gender, and of course we said gender - and wouldn't you know, she grinned at Libby and said, "It's another girl!" - we had some squeals and a few tears and a very happpppppppy moment to relish in the fact that we will have two daughters! I wasn't sure if I wanted to find out this time, we didn't with Libby but for some reason I was just so curious to know what the family dynamics would be this time - and we are so happy to know now!!! Of course, having a boy would have been great but I'm so excited that Libby will have a sister!!
Baby Girl #2 is looking very healthy and we cannot wait to meet her. I'm measuring to be 21 weeks pregnant, so I'll hopefully and God willing be able to deliver her the middle of May. So hard to believe, that will be here so fast. We are still thinking of names - we're getting close to deciding I think and hope!
Libby is going to be an amazing big sister. She'll love having someone around and she has such a sweet countenance so I have faith that God will help us with the big adjustment. Baby Girl #2 is kicking all the time, and it's really fun to feel those movements, I loved it with Libby as well. Thank you Lord!

checking out the toys at a partyA Blessed Christmas!
What a wonderful Christmas it was this year. We decided not to go to SSI for the Holidays, opting instead to spend our first Christmas at home together. It was a really hard decision to make b/c neither of us has ever spent the Holidays away from our families, but we decided it was time to start new traditions and stay in Atlanta. It was SO much fun, and Libby's reaction and her happiness was all we needed to make sure we had done the right thing. She had an absolute ball!
Christmas Eve Matt had to work, so Katie and her in-laws invited Libby and I over to their house for dinner and some fun. It was awesome! There were three other children there, siblings and cousins, and Libby played with them and had such a great time with them, it felt like we were at home. I loved it b/c it felt like it did at my own house growing up, kids everywhere running around, parents and grandparents just hanging around talking....soooo much fun and so perfect for a Christmas Eve. They even tracked Santa on the computer AND he called to say he was coming soon! It was a wonderful night and although we missed Daddy and our families, we felt right at home and I am so thankful for such great friends!!! Thank yall!
Christmas morning came and went way too quickly. This was Libby's second Christmas, but her first that she really seemed to grasp Santa bringing presents. The video is so cute to me, her reaction is priceless...she kind of looks at it, then looks at us, then looks at the gifts again, then at us again...so cute. Her favorite is the little slide and of course her myriad of coloring books and crayons. The day was spent just playing with all the gifts she received, napping, walking around the neighborhood, and it was just perfect. These days of her being little are flying by, and we are savoring every second!
God is so good and we thank Him daily for the gift of His Son. I pray that Libby will grow up to know the true meaning of Christmas just as we do.
Hope you all had a wonderful day of family and loved ones surrounding you - and of course, got some fun gifts!
