Hopefully....

I hope our next little girl can live up to the standards that Aubrey has set. To be specific, she will have big shoes to fill in terms of Aubrey's....

She has set the bar high!

sugar and spice and everything nice....

That's what girls are made of! Let's get right to it, we found out last week that we're having another girl!!! This will be the first and LAST pregnancy picture I will post of myself. Things are just going to get ugly from here on out. Chipmunk cheek ugly. Anywho...besides dwelling on weight gain, I've spent the last week thinking about this new baby to be. I just had my first OB appointment of my pregnancy a week and a half ago (health insurance issues as in, I had none) and then the ultrasound shortly after where I saw her so it's just now all becoming real to me. We're having another baby! And another girl at that! For some reason I'm having a hard time imagining life with two girls-will they be friends, will they fight, will they look alike, act alike? I'm just 3 days short of officially being halfway through my pregnancy and will be welcoming her into the world in January. I feel her moving constantly and have for weeks so I'm getting a little worried that she's going to be a busy one like the notorious A-U-Bs. But we are so grateful that she's healthy and doing well. And you better believe I have a couple sewing projects in mind for her arrival! Keep your fingers crossed that Aubs is nice to her little sister!

Our girl is two!!!

Our "baby" turned TWO this past month. I'm knocking on wood as I write this, but so far, age two is agreeing with Aubs! Okay, so we're not that far into the terrible two age, but this is by far the easiest time we've had together. I could sit and watch her for hours. Actually, now that we don't have TV anymore (not because we're taking a moral stand against it, but because we can't afford it, oh how I miss DVR) many of our evenings we do sit and watch her for hours. She brings me such joy!

We had two little parties for her, one with Zach's family in Utah and one with my family here. They were very low key.  Actually, our parents were more the instigators both times, which I thought was sweet. Aubs is lucky to have some good grandparents. I've decided I will wait until she's old enough to remember her parties before I start making them more extravagant. I want the credit!

Some of her gifts, a watering can (from me) and a little tikes car (from my parents)
