The Baby Will Be Here....

Allie's sister will arrive on Tuesday September 18. Allie already has it marked on her calendar and is ready to wear her "Big Sister" shirt.

Another Doctor Appointment

My appointment with the beloved Dr. Dale was fairly routine. I am measuring at 34 weeks which isn't bad and the baby's heartbeat is normal. What I was surprised the most about was my lack of weight gain. Considering how much cake I ate this weekend, I figured I would have gained at least 1 pound. So I guess not eating ice cream every Tuesday at 31 Flavors and drinking my weight in water has paid off. I signed the tubal ligation consent form (sorry Bob, no more grandchildren from me) and Allie couldn't understand why Mommy wasn't going to have any more babies. I explained to her that having her and her sister were enough and that she'll thank me eventually. Dr. Dale is due to call me this evening to schedule the c-section. Only 7 weeks to go!!

Happy 4th Birthday Allie!!

Today is Allie's 4th birthday. We can hardly believe it! Allie is growing leaps and bounds each day with her ever expanding vocabulary and reading skills (yes, she can read). She makes us laugh everyday with her jokes and words that we never heard her say. She is so excited about becoming a big sister in about 6 weeks. She has vowed to teach her little sister how to play peek-a-boo and hide-and-seek. She is such a funny and sweet little girl and we're proud to have her as our daughter.
