Babies, Babies, Babies

We have had a couple of weeks baby mania! The first picture is a my best friend Heather's beautiful baby shower we had last Sunday. I kid you not, it was the nicest shower I had ever been to. You wouldn't believe all the stuff she got for little Isabella! And her cake looked like something you would see on the Food Network channel.
The second picture was taken at the baby shower we had for Chris' cousin Daniel's wife Allison. She looked great. I think she said she had only gained like 18 pounds total, can you believe it? I've already gained that much and I'm only half way there! We were playing a game where you guess the size of her belly and I won! We had a really good time and Lexi got to visit with lots of kids.
The last two pics are of my friend Molly and her sweet little boy Oliver. They came over to visit with us one day last week. As you can see Lexi couldn't keep her hands off him. She kept wanting to give him kisses. I bet Molly was secrectly wishing she would keep her little hands to herself!

Half Way There!

Here's me at 20 weeks. I'm not sure how much is baby and how much is sausage McGriddles from McDonalds that I've gotten hooked on.

"All the blood is going to rush to your head"

It's a good thing my Nana doesn't have the Internet becasue if she did she would see these pictures and say "stop letting her do that because all the blood will rush to her head and kill her."

Anyway, here's the wild woman showing off her new P.J.s and balancing skills.

Playing Cinderella

Right now Lexi loves Cinderella. She watches the movie, reads the book, and loves to dress up like her. Now this "get up" might not look like Cinderella to you, but every afternoon when we get home she runs upstairs and puts this same outfit on (by herself) yes... red cape and all and says she's "Ella". (She can't say the Cinder part yet). Then she runs down the steps yelling "home" like she's trying to get home before midnight.

Turns out it's a girl!

Well, I guess doctor's predictions can be wrong because that little boy I thought we were having turned out to be a girl! I'm a bit shocked, but looks like I will save a fortune in clothes and baby stuff since most of what I have is pink. More importantly, though is that all the organs looked normal and her growth thus far is good. I haven't even thought about girl names, but I remember when we were expecting Lexi that Alexis was the only name we could both agree on so it should be fun trying to come up with another girl name we both like. Any suggestions??

Lexi's new kitty cat..... hopefully

The neighbor gave Alexis a kitty cat on Saturday, but of course by last night we couldn't find it anywhere. So these are pictures of either our new pet or the cat we had for one day! Not sure which yet. The other two are just snapshots taken Saturday afternoon of Lexi in the backyard. I thought they were sweet so I posted them.

Here's a little tour of the new house.

Hey guys, a lot of you asked me about the house so I thought I would post some pictures. Keep in mind the house isn't fully decorated yet and the yard isn't done, but you can get the general idea of things turned out.
