Getting ready for baby Carly...

Well... I have been working HARD getting this house ready for Carly to arrive. Her room is starting to come together. We have the crib up and a temporary mattress in there till we get ours. Her room has by far been the easiest as we didn't change much of anything but buy some bedding to match the room as it was already painted. Taylor's room is so close to being done. I painted an old armoire black this week and put some fabric on the doors. We made a headboard for her bed and made risers to lift the bed up for storage underneath. It seems all I have left to do is the finishing touches with pictures on the walls, etc... And... our room has had a whole new makeover. We sold our bedroom furniture and bought some new along with a king size bed. PRAISE JESUS!!!! Just had it delivered last night and I already love it! We will be ready before we know it!!!

Taylor is 7!!!!

Is it possible that Taylor is 7 now???? My baby is not a baby any more. When will I realize this? Maybe never. She will ALWAYS be my baby and I hope that she will always cuddle with me! For her birthday this year I did NOT make her cake. This is a first. I also did nothing to get ready for a party. We went to the Incredible Pizza Company on her birthday and we ended up spending a good 5 hours there. PHEW! I was worn out after that one! I was just getting over having the flu and I was having sever back pains this day, but I made it through it and we had a blast. Here are some highlights.

We are having a girl!!!

On Tuesday January 20th we went to see the doctor for our 20 week ultrasound and within seconds he said... "It's a girl!" We were very fortunate to have both my mom and Nick's mom there with us and Taylor too. Taylor was so excited. The look on her face was priceless. She thinks they will get to dress alike now. Hmm.... we will see about that. We are very excited though and have already started the process of moving Taylor into her big girl room. The baby will be in Taylor's old room that is very princess like. Now Taylor's room will be purple, hot pink and zebra print. We still have some work to do by painting some furniture... hanging things on the walls... and wait for the rest of the bedding to come in. She does love her new room though... here are a few pics of the room in progress.

Taylor's Christmas Dance

Taylor's dance studio puts on a small performance for parents during the holidays. This was a very special treat to be able to see Taylor perform some dances she has learn the first half of the year. She looks so grown up!

Christmas 2008

Well... it seems I am a little behind updating my blog so I thought I would spend just a few moments posting some pictures of Christmas 2008. All I can say is that it flew by. We went to Mississippi to visit Nick's side of the family on the 20th of December. We then came back just in time for Christmas at our house and then we left again on the 26th to spend the weekend with my side of the family.
