Getting ready for Baby Brent #2

Before we left for the beach, we picked out a color for the baby's room. The darker color around the windows is what we narrowed it down to. We have one coat on now and it looks amazing. Daddy has also stripped the windows to the bare wood and has painted one with primer. We are making progress and will post updated pics soon.

We couldn't do it without the help of . . .

the "big sister" :)

Baby!!!!

Who knew by 15 months we would have a baby OBSESSION!

and it only keeps getting worse.

At least one baby goes with us everywhere! - at our 15 Month appointment

I can not find her wash cloths and this is why :) They have become the babies bed or blankets.

All of my kids waiting on daddy to come home.

We do not go to bed unless we have ALL of our babies!! Some nights she would rather get in bed with babies than read books.

We are not happy unless we know baby is ok and right beside us. - Reading one of her favorites - "mooooon"

15 Months

She is growing up way too fast! She is talking so much I can not even keep up with all the words.

Ever since we rode in the "car" when Avery was in town that is the only thing we drive now! Watch out for us at the grocery store :) These things are buses!!

This was her one year birthday outfit. How is it she can grow that much in just a few short months?!?!

She loves her milk. As soon as she wakes up she asks for her milk!!!

We were busy running errand getting ready for the beach along with swim lessons so we stopped and had a little fun and visited the ducks.

we can not drive by a pond with a fountain without her saying "duck".

After the feeding the ducks and swinging, we stopped for lunch.

Mommy was a bit nervous bc the last time we stopped to get food just the two of us, I ended up getting it to go right after ordering. This time she was a complete angel and ate so much!!!

After lunch we stopped at Southern Crossing to get a chair to go with her new big girl table.

4th of July weekend

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th.

We had another fun filled weekend on the boat.

Margaret was so excited Grier came to play. The girls enjoying a bath before . . .

getting all dolled up for dinner.

Margaret loves her daddy!!

and Miss "Cha Chi" :)

She can not wait until she can do this with her brother or sister. She keeps trying to get Tucker to chase her and it just isn't the same :)

Daddy spoiled her BIG time :)

Margaret was so happy to have her buddy back. Langston and her mom had gone to Atlanta for a few days but made it back in time to play and watch fireworks.

The 4th would not be complete without watermelon :)

Third Trimester . . .

Wow where has the time gone!!! Last weekend, we were sitting in Perdido all packed up enjoying our last night at the beach. John and I were talking and couldn't remember when I entered the third trimester. Thinking I had at least a few more weeks, I looked it up and realized it was in the next few days. UM what!! I began to have a panic attack.

This past Wednesday I entered the third trimester and had my 28 week appointment. I saw the one doctor I had never seen before. Not even when I was pregnant with Margaret. I absolutely loved her!! She went over all my results with me unlike some of the doctors. Last Monday I had to get my glucose test done (I didn't pass out :) and she said I passed with flying colors. My blood work also looked great; normally there are small signs of being anemic but I am not. I am measuring right on track. Now the 2 week appointment starts!! Funny thing is I still find John and I saying we can not believe in 2.5 months we are having another baby!!!!

Where has the time gone?!?!?! We have so much to do before this little guy/gal arrives. We have had a great summer but now it is time to get to work. I promise I will upload pictures from our adventures. We have been out of town every weekend since Memorial weekend and for you moms out there know that it means a week of packing, vacation and then a week or more of laundry and trying to get back on track. Not to mention this past week we get home Sunday night, Margaret gets sick Monday afternoon and I get it Wednesday night so it is taking a lot longer to get back into the swing of things. Stay tuned Uncle James :)

15 Month Checkup

On June 23, we had Margaret's 15 month checkup. (I think I forgot to post the info but am doing so now for those interested but for me to compare later.)

This was the first appointment I went to by myself and let me tell you it was tough. She cried the whole time and would NOT let go of me. Pretty hard when there isn't much room in your lap. The Dr told me that the 15 month and 18 month are one of the worst. Poor thing had to get two shots, one in each leg, but was a trouper. She didn't change much in her weight. She actually was weighing less that her 12 month but at the last minute the scale changed. The Dr was very impressed with her vocabulary. She asked if she could say about 5 words and I laughed. Told her I could not even count how many words she knew. She has amazed me every day learning something new. I love watching her grow and am getting so excited for her brother or sister to get here.

15 months - Weight: 20 lbs 2.5 oz (10%); Height: 31 inches (70%)
