He's Here!

Ok so I am not sure how this will go over. I may have tricked you... or just confused you. He really isn't here yet. Look closer and see, it is just Maddie's doll. We wouldn't dress our son in purple! :) Then I thought I would add to the confusion and put up a newborn pic of Maddie. Did I trick you? Are you laughing, dissappointed... hopefully not too disappointed. I am just trying to kill time during Maddie's nap and while I am sitting here waiting to feel contractions or have my water break. Scroll down for some more pics of Madelyn. Hopefully this will appease those faithful followers of the blog who admit to checking daily to see if the baby has come. Well you will just have to wait!

80 degree January

We went to the beach this weekend to watch the sunset during this stint of summer weather in January and thought I would share some pictures... thinking of you Amorette in all that snow... you should take a break and stay with us this week! Anyway, we actually haven't taken Maddie to the beach since our camping trip last summer and she was a little unsure of the sand this time. Thus, we do not have any pictures of her gleefully running around :) In her defense, the sand was really cold by the time we got there. Ben did a great job capturing the beauty of the evening.

So, I am officially done being pregnant- I have become increasingly forgetful this past week and emotional. Today at Trader Joes I actually could not remember the pin number to my debit card when I was buying the groceries (and then shamefully cried about it on the drive home)! I am hoping this is a sign I will have the baby soon because I was like this when Maddie was born. Hopefully this time I will not lose our house and car keys or anything important. I will end with this, Ben is the best husband ever!

The Past Month....

This past month we have enjoyed seeing lots of family. Ben's Family was finally able to get together for the first time in over 3yrs. which was really a fun time. We celebrated Ben's parents 35th wedding anniversary and tried to get a family picture. We somewhat succeeded at it. Lately, we have been really trying to cherish these last few days with Maddie as her little life will be changing with the addition of "little brother". She is such a joy as we watch her little personality come out. The next time we post it will probably be pictures of our baby boy! We can't wait!
