'It'Number Two

So I wasn't ready to officially announce this on Friday but I am today. We are going to be having an addition to our little family in late Nov., early Dec. (I am ambiguous here because even before a child is born they have an opinion about themselves.) The official due date is Nov. 24 so we might just have a holiday baby but we will see.

I've been sick with this baby where I wasn't with Evie. And I thought that it had gone away now that I was out of the first trimester but it came back with a vengeance this morning.

We would like a boy. In fact, I think I would be happy to have just boys from here on out, but that would be Mike's determination. We used some old wives tales last night to determine gender and two out of three said it was a boy so we will see.

The above pictures were taken because the doppler wouldn't pick-up the little things heartbeat because of how it was sitting so we used the ultrasound machine for the heartbeat and just happened to take some picture while we were there. :) The first one is of the body. The solid white circle on the left is the head. The other round thing is the body. The two little white circles on the side of the head are hands. And the second picture is of the feet. They are the two little white ovals on the right of the picture.

So that's my news. We're really excited and feel very blessed. Even Evie is getting excited. She told me this weekend, "Mom, sometime I will help with the new baby." At least I'll have her help sometimes. :)

Guess What

Here is what happens when I leave my Evie alone with her father and he allows her to choose her own outfit...Hopefully the face is from her realization of the mismatching colors. :)

In other news, Evie continues to amaze us with her vocabulary and ability to remember the silliest things we've said. We were in the car the other day and I was talking to Mike. All of a sudden he stops me and asks if I heard what Evie had just said. I hadn't so he told me. "I'm through with you Mom." Cause a what!?!

Then the other night we were driving home late and Evie was half a sleep. Mike said, "Evie, guess what?" "What?" Mike, "Chicken butt!" We all giggled till the next morning when Evie comes to me and says, "Guess what?" "What?" "Chi... butt." She got the first half of chicken right but forgot how to finish it. She's a pro now after playing the game for a few minutes though. I love you little sponge!

Anyone else see it?

When Meg sent me this picture from their trip to the mall, I laughed hysterically. I had just watched "The Creep," by The Lonely Island comedy group, and I think Evelyn bears a striking resemblance to Nicki Minaj. The video is on Hulu, and tell me what you think...

Big Mouth

Driving in the car this morning and all of a sudden Evie starts talking about an ant in her tummy. So we start talking about how it got there. I asked her if she ate it. She said no. Then we were talking about how she has a mouth and then how I have a mouth. The next thing to come out of her mouth and I kid you not was, "You have a big mouth!" Where does she come up with these things? And do I really?

I am not a Gardener

I just came across this picture and felt the need to share. I bought a zucchini plant last summer thinking that I could use my fresh zucchini from my garden that I grew myself. This is the one vegetable that my poor plant produced and Evie is showing it off for me...I am not a gardener.

Mall Trip

Grandma Teresa, Aunt Bex, Evie, and I went to the mall today. We had a purpose that fell through but that didn't stop us from wandering around for a minute. We walked into Icicle. There were some headbands that I just might have to buy for Evie because she wore these decorated ones for longer then she's ever worn one before. There were also some glasses that are the reason my generation was afraid to wear them. The funny thing is is that she probably looks like what I did when I first started wearing them. I swear they were this big... She makes us laugh.

Rockin' Mama

What did I get to do the other day? I got to be a a 23 year old and go to a concert. And not just any concert, it was an angry teenager concert, Lincoln Park. Shell and I rocked it. Mike didn't want to go so he sat at home and cleaned his guns while I got dressed up like a hot mama and head banged the night away. Not only did I get to hear the band but I also made a friend... (sarcasm). About 10 times during the concert, the girl in front of me turned around and shoved her camera into my hands and requested a picture. She then introduced herself to me and asked for my name too. We were best friends... Yeah for being young!
