It's a GIRL!!

We had our second ultrasound yesterday and found out that we are having another girl!! We don't have any names picked out yet but we will be working on it! Chloe is VERY EXCITED!!!

Dress Up

Chloe always plays dress up and is almost always a princess. When she came to me the other day in this outfit I was curious because it is not nearly as glamorous as usual and I asked her who she was and she looked at me like I should know and she said," I am a grownup!" :)

Planning anyway

Well, even though I don't know if my baby is a boy or a girl or an OWL... I am still planning. I have bought some of the CUTEST newborn clothes. Chloe was SO SMALL when she was born that the "0-3" months just swallowed her til she was 4 or 5 months old and I didn't realize until after she was past that stage that they made "newborn" size. So I have stocked up on several cute onesies for newborns- they are white/polka dot/some green/yellow but I think they are pretty neutral as far as a boy or a girl could wear them. If its a girl maybe I will just put a big bow on her head when she wears the green ones. Although, people have come up to me when Chloe was a baby wearing PINK and asked, "How old is he?" weirdos. :)

Cleaning

Well I guess I am starting my "nesting" or something. I spent hours yesterday cleaning out every nook of Chloe's room. I am going to set up the baby bed in there and have them share a room for a while because I am not ready for her to move to the downstairs bedroom... its so far away!! :) Plus I am planning on the baby sleeping in the bassinet in our room mostly, like Chloe did. (Til she was way too big and almost fell out...) Anyway, I threw out 3 trash bags full of.. well trash. I cant believe how much stuff she has!!!! I am going to make it a point to not get her and the baby ANY and EVERYTHING I think would be neat.. it is just stupid. Not to mention, half of it breaks!!! Well, I think I have learned my lesson...it took forever to get it all cleaned up. Now the baby has a drawer in chloe's dresser, space in the closet for clothes and space above for extra diaper/wipes storage. I am so excited! Now I could really clean out the storage space of Chloe's old clothes if I could just know whether its a boy or a girl... if its a girl i'll keep the clothes, if its a boy.. OUT THEY GO!!!! I am in a cleaning out MOOD!!! :)

It's a mystery....

For my next post I was planning on making the title, "It's a boy/girl!" but the baby was not cooperative at the ultrasound so it's still a mystery! :) Doc says everything looks good and there is only ONE in there.... so thats good news! :) I will have another ultrasound in a few weeks... don't worry Lanhee I will tell you when as soon as I find out! :)

I just love Summer!

I dont love hot weather but other than that I wish it would stay summer forever. Everything seems so laid back and fun. I'm sure Chloe misses all her activities (gymnastics, dance, mission friends, etc) but I love not having to rush everywhere every day! We have been swimming MOST days and are going again this evening. Tomorrow we are going to the Museum of Discovery with my aunt and her grandson, Jack who is about Chloe's age. It will be fun, I havent taken her there yet since she was old enough to actually enjoy it. Then we are going to Oklahoma for several days to visit my other aunt and uncle and then back a few days and then off to Mt. Magazine for a family reunion.. it is BEAUTIFUL up there and they have a new huge lodge and great cabins to stay in! After that is VBS at church then my birthday then everything will start up again in august... I cant believe how time flies....

Fun Busy

Wow, since my "most relaxing week" we have been very busy!!! Chloe had her dance recital a few weeks ago and it was SO fun! Levi's dad came and stayed with us for the weekend so he could see her dance. She had the cutest little pink and green outfit with a hat that had this HUGE pink paper daisy on top!! I will post pictures as soon as I can get them onto this new computer... it is always a learning process for me to figure out memory cards/cameras/transferring to the computer.... so I will slowly but surely be able to post more pics of us. Since then we have been swimming NON STOP it seems like. My parents have a pool so Chloe and I go there most days, Levi takes her after he gets home from work and she can now swim by herself with NO help and NO FLOATIES!!! She is very independent and not scared of anything!! I was scared to go to the deep end much less jump off the diving board into the deep end of a pool til I was like 10 I think and she does it without thinking. She just amazes me!! Levi is on a camping trip with a friend from work and so Chloe and I are doing NOTHING today- the first day we have had to chill around the house in a while! We went to "Old Mcdonalds" (Mcdonalds) for lunch and that was fun and now she is napping. I love days we just get to hang out together, it will be strange but WONDERFUL to bring a new kid into the mix but I think I will miss hanging out with just Chloe sometimes;) I find out on July 8th what I am having. I really have no feeling on what it is and neither Levi or I really care... we both want either one!! So it will be fun to find out and know neither of us will be disappointed if its a boy or a girl... we both hope and pray of course that its healthy whatever it is! I am having fun NOT knowing, but I want to find out just so I can prepare Chloe and also get prepared with the right clothes, blankets, etc.
