Counting down the days

The ticker says 59 days, but I am so hoping it will be less then that. This kid in here is just crazy....he has run out of room and kicks and punches, and turns all the time. We are just over 2 weeks from when I went into labor with Lilly, we are waiting to see if history will repeat. Feeling pretty good other then the constant motion either by me or him. Can't wait for him to join our ranks and see how Lilly reacts....hopefully it will be in a motherly way and not as a bully! We also got word today that Uncle Bobby might be making a trip back to NC for a few weeks sometime after May and before September...can't wait to see him and for him to spend sometime with Lilly. She loves talking to him on the phone. That's all from here; we have some great friends coming to visit over the weekend, and I get to cheer some pals on in the half marathon Saturday morning....nothing like screaming at 8am to get the blood pumping!

Sorry this is a disjointed post.....having blog trouble!

Lilly singing itsy bitsy spider!

My Heart Day flowers.

I am not normally a flowers kinda gal. I think they are beautiful (don't get me wrong), but they just aren't my thing. However, on Valentine's Day, Fitz and Lilly had to run out to pick up one ingredient for dinner and when you almost two year old walks in with a beautiful bouquet of roses, and says "Happy Valentime's Day Momma" they are the best flowers ever!! Fitz claimed she picked them out herself, but I'm not sure I buy that line! If you count the flowers there are only 10 in the vase because, of course, Lilly needed some for her own so she got two! Here are to great memories with your little ones!

Snow day in the MHC!

On Friday 2/12, they were forecasting snow for the coastal region of NC, but it has yet to happen in 2010 so we just blew off the warnings! However, while watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics....it started, and just kept going....and going. Nearly 8 inches later, we were covered in snow and so what better thing to do then head out in it and run a muck! Lilly was not a fan of the snow (much to her Dada's dismay), I think it was too deep for her. Plus she did not like to wear gloves so her little hands got cold very quickly. We had a grand time, some friends came by for a visit, and we went over to the beach to see how funny/weird it looks to see snow on the sand! All in all a great snowy weekend, but I'm sure glad it is melting away today (2/15) and we will be back to normal by tomorrow I'm sure!

30 week belly

So here is a new belly shot. I'm am 30 weeks along and counting down the days now. If he comes as early as Lilly we are only a few weeks from meeting little MJ, but hopefully he will stay in until at least 36 weeks! I think I am done running for this pregnancy, but we will see; I might try one more time. I am still able to swim and Lilly loves those days because she gets to swim after I'm done with my workout. We are still working on the nursery, but it is now coming together and hopefully we will done before too long.

As for a Lilly update, she is a talking machine and usually we know what she is saying, but sometime we are not 100% sure. She loves playing with her friend Macy, and we usually get them together 2-3 times a week. Lilly will count to 10 on her own and will do parts of her ABC's. I will get that on video and up soon for all to enjoy!

Decorating....

So we are trying to decide on how to decorate #2 room without having to repaint the entire thing....we have narrowed it to two options and I wanted to see if any of you have opinions on what you like best. We are going for a surfer/ocean/beachy theme here and thus our two choices are a stencil (www.stencilplanet.com/surferstencil.aspx) in a blue and green that coordinates with our current wall color or vinyl wall art (www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37160560) and then a surfer themed sign of sometype on another wall.

Let me know your thoughts or if you have better suggestions.....have at them!
