What do you think?

So, everyone seems to tell me that my girls look just alike but I truly never see it.  I wanted to post these two pictures.  Both of the girls are 5 1/2 months.  What do you think?  Sisters...yes.  Twins...not so much!

Never Turn Your Back On My 2 Year Old!

I am done make promises to post regularly. However I did want to share these things with you. The first is a picture I snapped when I caught Sloan in the pantry. After capturing the moment I let her know she was caught red-handed. When I asked her what she was doing, her response was "Cinderella gummies". Hhmmm...maybe I should keep the fruit snacks on a lower shelf.

Next...this is a video I took after walking into my room to find Sloan in the crib with Landry. Mind you...I didn't put her in there even though she says I did.

Fresh Start

I know I have said it more than once, but today is my fresh start to blogging again.  To kick things off I wanted to share this video.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  I am really am going to try to post more often.  I can't say that I am going to do it everyday, but I will try to do it every week at least!  I took this video with my flip video camera on Monday night.  Landry turned 3 months old on Tuesday.  My next post will be about Landry and her birthday etc since I never got that one done!  Stay tuned!

Big Sister Stuff

I finally got the girls' big sister shirts in the mail this week and I am so excited.  I think they are so cute and can't wait to see them wearing them when they come to meet baby Landry!  Abbie wasn't overly excited about hers (but what do you expect from an almost 10 year old) until I told her that she and Sloan had matching shirts.  I think after I said that she realized that it was important to me for them to both have one.  Here is a picture I snapped on my phone when they came in.  I think they are precious!

I went to the doctor today and everything is progressing nicely.  We are on the downhill slide. Dr. Banks said that she definitely felt like I wouldn't make it full term and after next weeks appointment that she is comfortable with me having this baby anytime.  One minute I am SOOOO ready and the next minute I am SOOOO nervous.  I just have a lot of anxiety about how everything is going to happen.  Will Jimmy be here, will it be in the middle of the night, how will Sloan react, how will I manage 2 under 2...and the list goes on!  I am sure these are all normal pre-delivery jitters but I just really don't remember having them with Sloan.  We have been talking a lot about how Sloan is going to be a big sister but I am absolutely convinced that she totally doesn't get it.  She might surprise us all but I am quite sure that she is going to be extremely jealous.  I am really just trying to spend as much one-on-one time with her these next few weeks while I can.  Neither one of us is really ready to share our time quite yet!

I will keep everyone posted as to how things are going.  T minus 3 weeks...MAX!!!! 

Fun Pics!

I know...I know...I am a total blog slacker!  Gonna get back on track...I promise.  So here is a little something oh-so-precious to tide you over!  It is amazing to see life through your child's eyes.  Who ever knew a giant leave was SO much fun?!  I will make a real post later this week...cross my heart.  And if I am feeling brave, I might even have someone take a preggo pic of me to post...yikes!

Ladies and Gentlemen, It's a...

Sweet baby GIRL sucking her thumb!

GIRL!!!  Can you believe it?!  The whole time I have totally thought we were having a boy, along with everyone else that has seen me.  Poor Daddy...overthrown by 3 daddy's girls, a wife, and a female dog.  Bless his heart...that is a lot of estrogen!  We went in for our 20 week ultrasound and I was convinced it was a baby boy, but when the tech asked if we wanted to know the good news or the bad news I knew right away it was another girl.  No ultrasound tech in their right mind would have told us there was something abnormal with the baby by asking if we want the bad news!  Anyway, now that we have found out we will have Cleveland girl #3 in April we are off to play the baby name game.  This one could take a while!  Jimmy and I can't seem to agree on anything.  Abbie loves the name Ella but it is not one of our faves.  Poor thing, she talks to my belly everyday calling it Ella...has for many weeks now.  I keep telling her that isn't the name but I suppose she isn't going to give up until we fill out an official birth certificate.  Everything else in my pregnancy is going great!  I can't believe I am already half way done.  Time has flown by but I am sure that has NOTHING to do with the fact that I am constantly consumed with chasing after an extremely active and onery 18 month old.  It just doesn't seem possible that my sweet baby girl is already 18 months old.  Where does the time go?

I am getting in the holiday spirit.  Trying to find time to decorate the house...again, not an easy task with an 18 month old at home.  I am very interested to see what she thinks about the tree. Last Christmas she was just starting to sit up so I never had to worry about her messing with anything.  I have a feeling that this year my tree will only be decorated from the middle up! Curious and mischevious little girl!  My dad and Diane are keeping Sloan tomorrow night so I am going to have him bring in all of my holiday boxes when he comes to pick her up.  As soon as she leaves though, I am off to do some shopping.  Going to fly out the door and shop until I drop.  It is so much easier to get things done without Sloan's "help".  I love her dearly but she is absolutely not the best shopping partner!  If I were smart, I would have shopped a little here and there over the past few months, but I haven't so it is crunch time!

Thanks for checking in on us!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and is enjoying the Christmas season!
