Snow Day

Monday, Lexi stayed with Aunt Susan in Monterey and of course that's the day it snowed. Monterey always gets more snow than anywhere else around here so Iwas glad Lexi finallly got to play in official snow! (not just the light dustings we usually get in our neck of the woods.)

We're ready for Emorie Ruth to make her appearence!

This is what you call "ready to pop"
Emorie's Nursery









This will probably be my last baby post until Emories arrives, but just wanted to share some pics of the nursery and of course just how big I've wound up getting! These last days are getting pretty uncomfortable for me and as the time gets closer I'm getting more anxious to have her in my arms and out of my belly! Of course, I am trying to remember that these are also the last days of Alexis having all of us to herself and I want to cherish getting to focus all my attention on her before the baby comes. I am praying that Lexi is able to adjust to our new addition pretty smoothly, but time will tell!
Wish us luck in the next few weeks!

Baby Update......

Baby Shower for Emorie
My Aunt Susan had me a little shower at her house to celebrate Emorie being on the way. I told her I didn't want her to go to the trouble since this was my second child and it was going to be a girl, but those of you who know my aunt know she always does everything for me! Anyway, she said that Emorie deserved a cake and presents just like Lexi had so there was no use arguing!
Here's a little memorable moment I have to share (a tad gross as well).... Lexi had gotten sick the night before, but she hadn't thrown up for several hours so we decided to go ahead and take her to the shower. Well just as everybody got their food I was carrying her through the living room and the poor thing threw up all over my dress, some of the gifts and at one of the guests feet! Life full of little suprises!
Thanks for the shower, Susan. I really appreciate everyone that came and it was great to see you all!
