Baby Blake

It's been too long since I've posted pictures of my little boy. He's four months now and we love him to death. I never knew having a boy would be so much fun!

Blake is here!

Our little Blake is finally here! My due date was Nov 19th and he still hadn't come. The doctor sent me for an ultra sound and monitoring and noticed that the baby wasn't responding very much. They sent me to the hospital to do more monitoring and possibly be induced. They monitored me for a few hours and ended up sending me home. They had me come back Sunday afternoon for more monitoring. My blood pressure was high, so they decided to induce me. He arrived Monday morning at 11:33am weighing 8lbs, 11oz and measuring 20 1/2 inches. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck 3 times, but everything ended up being fine. He's very healthy and cute, and we love him a ton!



















Halloween

For Halloween my mother in-law made the girls kimonos. They decided that they wanted to be Mulan, so we painted their faces white and put some chopsticks in their hair. I think they make pretty cute Mulans.

Cow Appreciation Day

A few weeks ago, we went to Chick-fil-a for Cow Appreciation Day. If you dress up as a cow from head to toe, they give you a free value meal. It's a little embarrassing that I made them cat ears instead of cow ears. For some reason I couldn't remember what cow ears looked like. The girls loved being little cows for a few hours.



Shopping with the girls

I took the girls shopping with me while I looked for maternity clothes. Shopping with my kids is never a good idea. I don't know why I keep doing it. They both found things that they could not live without.

Bailey found a hideous maternity shirt that she just had to have. When I told her no, she threw the hugest fit. She begged and begged to take it home. She said it would make her beautiful.


Livvy wouldn't leave this manikin's side. She kept saying "it's so butiful." "Take a picture."

It's a Boy!!!

We had an ultra sound yesterday and found out that we'll be having a little boy. I thought it would be a boy because I've felt more crummy with this one than with my girls. So far we really like the name Blake, but we might change our minds as it gets closer. As we were leaving the doctor's office, Bailey said in a really stressed out voice, "Hey where's the baby?" She thought we'd be leaving with a baby so she was a little bummed. I guess the pictures just weren't good enough. Both girls are really excited to be big sisters.

Disneyland

We took a Disneyland trip with our family last week and had such a great time. We went with Marcus's whole family. His brother just got home from his mission, and his sister and brother in law live in Mississippi. It's been a long time since we've all been together. Princess Tiana was the only princess we were able to see and the girls LOVED her.
One of their favorites was the Jungle Cruise. I'm pretty sure they thought the animals were real. Towards the end of the ride, Bailey was waving to the baby elephant and it sprayed water in her face. She had her feelings hurt for a while until we convinced her he was just giving her a kiss.

I was really surprised to see Livvy so comfortable around the characters. Every time we see the cow at Chick Filet, she freaks out. She was in love with the chipmunks. As we were walking away she said,"Bye I love you. I love you so much." One of the chipmunks thought she was so cute that he left another girl he was taking a picture with and gave her a big hug. It was so cute.


During the parade they pulled both of them in to dance. They looked cute shaking their little booties!

California Adventure was really neat. Our favorite kid's ride was Toy Story.


We saw a 3-D Bug's Life movie which totally freaked the kids out, but at least they look cute in their glasses.


This is my favorite picture of Livvy.
