Audree's 2nd Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated the most amazing gift God has ever given to us..... Audree's 2nd birthday. Our sweet little princess turned the BIG 2! I can't believe 2 years ago she made her big entrance into the world. She couldn't wait til her real due date so she decided to come 2 months early weighing in @ 4 lbs 13.8 oz and was 18.5 inches long. She was the most precious thing I have ever laid my eyes on. Now here we sit 2 years later and she is a whopping 30 lbs and 35.5 inches tall!!

Brett & I took the whole day off so we could spend it with our precious little angel! Brett & Audree slept in until 8, yes 8 o'clock! I was up every hr on the hr just waiting to wish her a happy birthday haha. Once the sleepy heads woke up, we sang Happy Birthday to Audree! She said "Wonder Pets Party?" haha I said no baby we had that last weekend, she said "OH!! I 2" ha she is such a smart little cookies!!

We took her shopping, went to build a bear and she made a puppy dog she named "Barbie" (SHOCKER!! haha), played with her basketball goal (her bday present from us), baked cupcakes and had a grand ol time!

We had family over last night for pizza and cupcakes! It was fun to have everyone over and in one location at one time, esp to honor princess Audree's 2nd birthday! Here are some pics from the day!!

I can't believe 2 years has gone by since we brought our amazing little girl into the world. We are so thankful that God has blessed us with you and there isn't a second that goes by that we aren't grateful he put you into our lives. You mean more than you will ever know to mommy & daddy. You are such an amazing little girl and I can't wait to see you grow more and more each day!!

"Daddy I help you?"

This is what we heard for about a hr and a half last night! "Daddy I help you, here daddy, fix it, i get it, audree help" haha My dad bought Audree a cozy coupe for her birthday. I think every little kid had one of these growing up, I know we did and we ♥ ed it!!



Here is some pics of Audree helping daddy put her car together

I like how she has her hand on her hip while fixing it! That's a woman haha

Daddy like this?

Took a break to play in the box haha

TA DA its done

Audree's 2nd Birthday Bash

Yesterday we all celebrated Audree's 2nd birthday @ the Mayborn Museum. I know some of you are probably thinking a birthday party? At a museum? for a kid? haha The Mayborn Museum is soooooo much fun! Of course they have your traditional museum things, exhibits, etc however they have a side that is completely for kids! It has little "villages" where kids can ride in cars, play house, they have a huge bubble room which is a lof of fun, a giant floor piano, tea party rooms, etc.


Audree was a litle whiney at first and wouldn't leave my side. She only got in a 30 minute nap, so I kind of expected it. BUT once she got going and playing she had so much fun. She got a little embarrased when we all sang Happy Birthday to her and she didn't want to open presents, she just kept telling me eat momma. She wanted her cake, I cut her a piece but her Grammy ate it. YES GRAMMY IM CALLING YOU OUT IN FRONT OF BLOGGER LAND haha She didn't mean too, or so she says hahaha I convinced her to finally open up some presents, but the attention came and went the entire time!

I was so worn out by the end of the party but it was defintley worth it to see Audree & all of her little friends play. We are very blessed to have the friends and family we do. Audree had a wonderful turn out & we couldn't be more thankful for those who came.

Braxton..... Hicks????

Well last night after my shower I laid in bed and watched some good 'ol tv. My stomach was hard as a rock and well it was lopsided haha Ashlyn really liked the right side of my stomach for some reason.

Shortly after I got settled, I started experiencing some mild cramping. It didn't hurt what so ever just a little uncomfortable!!! This went on for about 2 hours and then I started getting a little nervous and my mind started racing 90 to nothing. What if its this... What if its that? So i googled it and it said most likely they are Braxton Hicks contractions. My stomach is hard all the time it seems, but it said my stomach would get hard with the Braxton Hicks. Hmm..... I never experienced this with Audree, so this is all new to me even though its my 2nd pregnancy.

So im just going to keep an eye on it and keep watching it. I go to the Dr again on the 16th so I will ask my Dr when I go in then!!

Wonder Pets

Audree is soooooo obssessed with Wonder Pets, Im wondering if I should start to worry haha She plays with her Wonder Pets from the time she wakes up to the time she goes to bed. Im not so sure what it is about these that entertains her so much, but its what our life consists of! We play with Lenny, Tuck & Ming Ming for hours upon hours!! Here are some pics of her playing this morning

Watching Mickey

Time to play!!

Playing with Ming Ming

Petting Daizee

Hmm... what to get next

28 Weeks

Ive been feeling REALLY good this week, minus the occasional back ache and heartburn. The heartburn seems to be kicking into full gear and its gets so bad there are times where I feel like I can't breath!! I can't believe that in just 10 short weeks our beautiful baby girl will be here!!

Monday night I got my first taste of what its going to be like doing both girls loads of laundry! We have bought Ashlyn several new clothes along with some of Audree's when she was a baby. I threw both of their clothes in the washer & I swear it took me a hr to get them hung up, folded and put away.

Saturday we headed back to Round Rock to give her 3d/4d ultrasound of Ashlyn another try. Needless to say, I think Ashlyn will be our child who gives us "trouble" haha We went to Round Rock 3 weeks ago to see her and she was being just a tad bit stubborn, but she gets it honestly! She kept her hands by her ear and feet in her face so we couldn't get a good face shot. Yesterday she was in the EXACT SAME position!! I said "Oh Ashlyn come on baby let me just see you!!" However, she is making us wait until she is born to see her, all surprises for us! We did get to see "more" of her, just not everything all at once. I even drank an ice cold slushy, it did make her move a lot more but she liked keeping her face hid from us!! The BIGGEST thing she did was she threw up her longhorns @ daddy! Made him proud, we have a UT baby even in utero, now that is pride :)

She seems to move a lot more when she hears Audree talking, which means she knows her sister! Audree kept telling her "Lashlin Out" "Lashlin Face" haha but she was stubborn even for her big sister!

Here are the pics we got- i labeled them because some people can't make out what they are looking at. I think she is gorgeous already, even if we didn't get to see all of her at once haha

Ashlyn Waving to us

She was sleepy (thats her yawning and she tried to stick her whole hand in her mouth)

Ears, Arms, Ribs, & a leg

There's our LONGHORN baby already!!

How Far Along? 28 Weeks

Weight Gained/Loss? 2 weeks ago I was still -1 but im sure ive gained that by now haha

Maternity Clothes: when Im not in scrubs (im stretching this as far as they will go).

Sleep: In between the getting up to potty every hour it seems like and my rear falling asleep ( I think she lays on a nerve when I lay on my left side) Im still getting it! Now me trying to get up out of the bed is another sight to see haha

Best Moment of the Week: Seeing little Ashlyn in 3d/4d even if she didn't show us good shots!

Movement- the movement is actually getting softer. Not sure why, I still feel her but the jabs are harder just not as much as they used to be

Morning sickness? noway jose

Gender- GIRLY GIRL!!

Labor Signs- NOWAY!!! those need to stay far far away

Belly Button-its still an innie for now, hoping it doesn't pop out. It gets very very sore though

What do I miss- no backaches, no heartburn, being able to get up without any struggles but Ashlyn is worth every little bit of it!

FINALLY I'll leave you with my belly shot for 28 weeks
