She loves it :) Don't forget to join the baby pool if you'd like ~ there are a few good spots left! :)

When it's cold and rainy, we bake.....and it seems like it's been that way a lot lately :) I like to bake with Chloe because she really seems to enjoy it! She usually has her own bowl with some sugar & cinnamon and keeps herself occupied stirring and "measuring".....She also pays close attention to what I'm doing in the mixer and last time, she really liked cleaning the beaters :) She also found some dough where I put the spatula down on the counter top.....out of her reach? Didn't matter - she decided to reach for it with her measuring spoon :) Chloe says YOU should make some cookies too :)

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

As of last Thursday I am at 36 weeks (which means 37 tomorrow!). Only one more picture to take!! At my doctor's appointment last week he informed me that if I went into labor, they would not stop me and that I was 28 days away from my due date. I told him I had a lot more things to do before 28 days were up! I've been busy working on my list of "to-dos" and I'm feeling better about her coming. I've got her things packed up for the hospital and I'm working on gathering my things too. It could be another month before we meet her, but I want to be ready just in case she comes early! With Chloe in the mix this time, I'm thankful to use nap-times as a chance to get ready :) This baby might be more active than Chloe was at this point ~ she moves and kicks more than I think she should be able to! Here is what babycenter.com says about 36 weeks: Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pound...

Boots! A wrap-dress - really, a maternity shirt :) Easter hat and new sunglasses

We had a great weekend! It started on Thursday when Chloe went to Grandma & Grandpa's house for a sleepover and Kevin and I went to a Third Day concert. We had general-admission tickets, but walked by a security man at just the right time, found out we could sit in seats on the floor-leve l, and ended up 10 rows back from the stage! It was a great show and I was really excited to be in a chair instead of a bleacher seat!! We got to visit with Laura, Bill, and Connor on Friday night for dinner when we went to my parents to pick up Chloe. She had a wonderful time at their house ~ lots of laughing and practicing "Bill" (to go along with "Lawa" and "bay-bee"). Connor is getting really big! He's bigger than Chloe was at two months :) Then! On Saturday morning we packed up everything and headed to visit our friends Jeff and Liz and their little girl Eliana. After nap time on Saturday afternoon we went to the park across the street from their h...

I'd have to say that there isn't anything as cute as a baby wearing sunglasses. Chloe was cute in her's....and Connor is also helping to prove it true: How could you look at this and not smile?? I know this Aunt is!!
