Already 32 Weeks, Hard to believe!

I am 32 weeks pregnant with baby girl number 2 - is that not just crazy!?  We cannot believe she'll be here so soon.
 I had an appointment this morning and they checked her out via ultrasound, she is already almost five pounds which put her above average for the weight!  She may be a big baby on May 21.  Also, something I loved hearing, was they told me that her stomach/diaphragm was allowing her to "breathe" well, which showed no signs of distress in the womb and that she is a relaxed baby in there.  I love knowing that.  But, she needs a name.  I find it really funny that I am carrying soooo much different with her than with Libby.  Like, 100% not the same.  I'm all belly with the darling now, and with my Peaches I was ALL over, and by all over I mean, way big.  It proves to me that you can't go by what the Old Wives tales are!! I am just still in shock and feel so happy to know that Libby will have a SISTER.  I am obsessed with my two sisters even though they drive me nuts most of the time!  I don't know what I'd do without the two of them, so I love knowing Libby and baby girl will have each other.  God really gives us what we need/want.  I'm so nervous but really excited about our family growing to FOUR!  Just seven weeks to go!  Insanity that it's almost here.  I'll be posting pics of their rooms soon. Two of my good friends are doing the artwork for each room and I am so honored and excited to see their art in our home!

Seven weeks and counting - thank you Lord for a healthy bundle.  Libby is going to be such an amazing helper and big sister.  I am blessed blessed blessed. I am reminded of that everyday! 

Go DADDY GO! Run Run Run!

So we woke up on March 21 to a cold, rainy and yucky day in Atlanta. Daddy had already left the house to get on Marta so he could be at Centennial Park for his start time. I had to wake Peaches up out of her warm bed so we could be at the Decatur square early enough to watch Matt run by! Once I woke her up and she realized what we were doing, she was beside herself.
Libby - "Daddy run?"
Amy - "Yes baby Daddy is running this morning"
Libby - (making the run motion with her hands and arms) "See Daddy run?"

You get the picture...she was SO excited about going to cheer Matt on for the ING Marathon. She has seen him run just one before, and I guess she honestly did remember that! It was SO cute. She was so excited, so we hopped in the car and headed to the square, about a two second drive. Went and parked and walked to Starbucks, she got her croissant and her chocolate soy milk and we stood outside in the rain and cold to see Matt run by! It was so much fun, watching her cheer and yell for Matt made me cry, then when he ran by, he hugged us and kissed Libby, which made me cry even harder (30 weeks prego at a Marathon was insanely emotional for me!!!) and then when he started running again she practically chased him, she didn't understand where he was going and all she got was a peck on the cheek from her favorite person (besides me) in the world. :) Matt did an amazing job finishing at 3 hours 39 minutes. We were SO proud! We spent the rest of the day at home warm and playing. He's signing up for the Disney Marathon in January 2011 and I'm already counting the days til we get there! Libby and her sister will be at Disney loving it just like I do!

Go Matt!


Trip to SSI to see family-March 2010

This was the weekend of March 6 for Helen's baby shower! We had a great weekend surrounded by loving family and friends. Melissa, my youngest sister, is in the first pic. She is actually having her little boy IN TWO DAYS!! We are SOO excited!
Helen, in the next pictures, is having her baby sometime around April 18! Another BOY!! What blessings and we are all so thankful that these cousins will all be the same age, in the same grade for school, and we are looking forward to a lifetime of memories to be made. I am in constant prayer for Sissy & Helen! April is going to make me burst with excitement at these two little nephews for me and two new cousins for Libby!!! AHHH!!
Libby loves her Granddad Certain, too, as well as Miss Vicki! They make her laugh because they play so sweetly with her. Love you all!!!!


EggCellent Saturday at Church 2010

What a fun Saturday we had last weekend! The weather was semi warm, we were just happy it was sunny and not snowy or raining! We went to the "eggcellent" Saturday at church, it was so much fun. Pops came for the day and had dinner with us, Libby is in love with her Pops, that is for sure!! We had a great day with friends and family and Libby loved the Egg hunt! She loved the bouncy castle the most though!
