Making our hearts melt

Eva has started randomly coming up to either myself or Aaron and giving us a hug and then saying "I love you mommy" or "I love you daddy". It just doesn't get any better than that.

12 week prenatal appointment

and all is well. It was a routine, boring appt. which are the kind that I prefer. I only gained 0.8 pounds since my last appt. which totally surprised me so that was great. My blood pressure is perfect, all my tests have been perfect to this point, fundal height is right on, got to listen to bub's heartbeat. My next appt. is in 4 weeks and then my big ultrasound will be 2 or 3 weeks after that. I just looked and if we schedule it for exactly 3 weeks after my next appt., it will be on my birthday. I can't think of a better birthday present. So, we'll see if that works out.

Just a few new cute pics

Baby #3 is on the way

We had a great appt. with the doctor today and got to see baby on ultrasound and see the little heart beating. Baby measured 8 weeks and 3 days and was perfect. And I love the doctor that we are using this time, he is amazing. Baby is due August 29th, Eli's birthday.

Operation No Binkie was a bust

So, after 5 days of Eva crying herself to sleep and us having to stay in the room with her for an hour every night for her to even go to sleep, we gave in and gave her binkies back. The last night of no binkies Eva only slept 6 hours (she normally sleeps 12) which means that I got even less sleep and I just couldn't do it anymore. So, we'll try again at a later date.

Today is a day to celebrate

I put Eva down for a nap today without any binkies. If you know Eva at all you know this is huge. And....it went great. She cried for about 5 seconds (but it was a whiny cry, not a real cry) and then she was out. Whoo-hoo!

Eva's 2nd birthday party

Eva had a garden party theme for her 2nd birthday party. Grandma and Papa F., Aunt Tami and cousin Payton, Aunt Brenda and Uncle Ryan and Luke and Lauren, and friends Dave, Emily and Noah all came to celebrate 2 years of fun with our beautiful Eva girl. Eva had so much fun that she refused to go to sleep afterward. Either that or she was still hopped up on sugar. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.
