:: The rest of November until Turkey Day ::

This little loves her Lucy dog.. she got up from her nap and went straight to Lucy to tell her hi and give her some love pats.. makes me smile.

We had a fun ornament painting party before Christmas and Lillian was so excited that she got to paint!

Lillian had some days of being stubborn and not napping and one of the days, she gave up and passed out on me.. it was kind of a bummer because I didn't get anything done, but also so nice to have her just sleep on me and snuggle.. just like when she was a little babe.  Look at that sweet face..

Goof balls..

Lillian's hair was so long and mullet-y, I had to trim the back.. couldn't believe how long it actually was!

This was some yummy potato corn chowder I made in the crock pot, super easy and delicious!

Had to give our sweet dogs some love..

These two make me laugh.. they found this stage and couldn't resist putting on a show of singing and dancing.. I wish the video would work to upload!

The girls got creative with this sheet.. Isabelle was pulling Lillian around the house, entertained them for awhile.. and then Iz wanted Lillian to pull her and I'm sure you can guess how that turned out.

Lillian loves to get in my drawers and play with everything.. especially my headbands!  I think she has at least 3 on here..

Love walking into the play room to see them playing so well together.

Lillian and I drove to KC and it was so nice that she actually fell asleep (rare unfortunately)!

She loves her sunnies as much as Isabelle did!

And putting on Sue Sue's glasses (also like Izzy).

Lillian likes to see how much she can fit in her arms.. she walked in the kitchen and said she was ready to go.. 2 bags and all!

It was a nice day for a walk.. who knew it was end of November!

More headbands!  And putting her socks on by herself, she likes to do things on her own.. "no mommy, I do it", is her famous line.

Izzy looking so big and grown up here :(.. she does so well at putting her outfits together in the morning, I rarely help her get ready anymore.. kind of sad, but also nice.. bittersweet for sure.

Lill napping with piles of animals and blankets on her.. she loves to have too many things in her bed! I should probably regulate that better so she doesn't play as much at the beginning of nap time, but it's hard to resist :/.

Our growing fam!!

I don't think this is new news for anyone that follows our blog, but still wanted to document it for our third babe's sake ;).  I took this picture in early October, so the pumpkins were appropriate at the time, I just never posted it.  Izzy was excited to help pick out the pumpkins for our little family.

I haven't done well with taking pictures of my bump, but here it is around 12 weeks.. taken on October 15th.  I felt like I was showing so early, I think that's what happens with #3!  I wasn't sick in the beginning, just the usual, foods not sounding good and some smells made me nauseous, but that was about it.  I craved cheese dip and these potatoes that are from a BBQ joint in town (random, I know, but they come with the best sauce!).
Heart beat at our check up on 11/03 was 164.

Yep, was spilling stuff on my belly early on.

This is our little babe on 12/05/14!  We decided not to find out on this one, if it's a boy or girl and we made it through the sonogram without caving!  I don't know if we would've been able to tell anyway because baby was curling into the placenta and showing us a lot of spine/back.  We didn't get a full frontal shot at all, and this was the best profile.. baby was opening and closing his/her mouth.  It's hard to read the print under the picture, so the next one is a foot.. so fun and amazing to see!  Even after having two children, it amazes me how we can grow little humans in our bellies, like, seriously in awe while watching the sonogram.

The heart beat was 156.

I need to take another belly shot because it has definitely popped within the last few weeks!  I will try my best to keep you all updated on our progress.  OH I should tell you that Isabelle is convinced it's her baby brother, she has been saying that since day 1.. I asked her what she would do if it's a baby sister and she said, "mom, we don't need another baby sister!  Silly!".. I guess we shall see!

A few boy name ideas from Iz:

Freddy's (she loves that place)

Sonic (loves that place too)

Jake (from Jake and the Neverland Pirates)

Pablo (from the new Dora)

..see the pattern here.. I will keep you posted on those too because they are pretty funny!
