More of our favorites....

Here are some more of our favorite pictures from our beach vacation!! Enjoy!!!

I love this picture of her feet in the sand!!!!

The beach.....

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to blog about our vacation, I just did not realize how tired I would be taking care of a two year old and being pregnant. :) But we did have a wonderful time and she loved everything about the trip. She loved the ocean, the sand, and playing in the pool. When we would have her in the ocean on a raft riding the waves, she would look at us and say, "I go barefoot in the water and go up-n-down." Which meant, I wanna get off this raft and you hold me in the waves. And if water would get in her mouth she would just spit it out and keep smiling!! When she was not in the water she was playing football, building sand castles or fishing with her daddy. She never stopped!! It was so much fun to watch her and play with her, RDC and I both loved EVERY minute of it. She laughed and giggled the whole time. Of course looking back at the pictures makes me want to take her back and spend another week with them at the beach!!! I wish I could post all the pictures we took, but I will post some of our favorites.

"Look at the sand castles we built!!"

Grandaddy and MWC having a tea party with goldfish, bananas and apple juice!!!

What MWC said when we told her....

I realized the other day that I never blogged about what MWC said when we told her about the baby.

The morning we took the home test, I wanted to tell MWC. RDC was a little hesitant since we had not been to the doctor and what if the test were wrong then we would have to "untell" her. I saw his concern, but was thinking she is two, it won't really "stick" right away. He understood that so we decided to tell her over lunch that day (since she was still asleep when he left for work.) So she and I picked up lunch on our way to his office and met him there. We sat down at the table and RDC looked at her and said, "you know what? You are going to be a big sister!!"

She put her hand over her mouth, grinned very big and went, "HAAAAA!! Can I have a chip??"

So that response calmed RDC's fears of telling her and then having to "untell" her. :) I do have to say now, it has stuck. Her Sunday School teacher told me tonight at church they were reading a book and a ladies belly was showing and she proceeded to say, "My mommy has a baby in her tummy!"

On a side note: We were able to take a GREAT family vacation last week to the beach!!! So as soon as I have time (hopefully tomorrow) I will blog and post pictures!!!

Update on baby.....and to answer a few questions!!

For those of you wondering our due date is April 3,2008. The new baby and MWC will be 3 years and 3 months apart. We have not decided whether or not we will find out what we are having. *RDC is leaning toward wanting to know, I am still undecided but leaning toward not finding out. :) We still have a few months to decide though!!

We had our 2nd doctor's visit today and everything looked great!! We had a sonogram and the baby is VERY active. That is the first thing she told us!! But we were able to see the baby's hand move toward his/her face and hear and see the heartbeat. We took MWC with us and she did not look away from the screen!!! It was priceless.

I am a little more tired with this one--of course this go 'round I am taking care of a 2 1/2 year old!! I am a little sicker, but nothing too terrible. And I am eating ALL THE TIME!!!! I don't remember eating this much with her. But all in all it has been good. RDC has been WONDERFUL and helping out even more than usual!!!

We will keep you posted as we go along the next few months!!!

Sorry no pics---the sonogram pictures were not very clear--so we were afraid they would be even worse if we tried to scan them in and post them. Maybe next time!!!!
