And then there were 5

Our family of 4 will be expanding to a family of 5 come September! Today, Scott and I went to the OB and heard Baby #3's heartbeat! I will be 13 weeks along tomorrow, and let me just say that was the best 1st trimester I have had. With Rylee I had morning sickness and with Haylee it was all day. This time, I rarely felt sick (maybe twice a week in the evenings) and I only had a few days where my energy was zapped. It has been amazing and such a blessing. The lack of symptoms has made it hard for me to believe there really is a new little life in there. So I knew the appointment today, when we got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time, that the reality would hit us. That sweet sound. I was so giddy after the appointment.

I ask Rylee a lot what we should call this baby until we know if its a girl or boy and all I have gotten out of her is, Mrs. Potato Head. Everyday, Rylee asks me when my tummy is going to stick out and get REAL big. Also, when I tell her I am going to the doctor, she gets excited thinking we are bringing the baby home. Haylee points to my tummy and says "baby" and proceeds to kiss it. They are so excited. We are so excited. We can't wait to meet this new little one.

Always take time to stop and smell the tulips

My Mom gave each of us girls flowers for Valentine's Day. They just bloomed recently and were so pretty. I say were because they aren't so pretty anymore...I am really bad about keeping plants alive. Sorry Mom.
My Ballerinas. They would wear these outfits 24/7 if we let them.
