Watching for Daddy

Lily has the greatest time standing at the front door waiting for Daddy to come home!

She's getting so brave when she's standing and she's starting to let go sometimes.

I'm afraid we're going to have a little walker before too long! 

31 weeks

31 weeks with Lily and Little Guy

I did not purposely wear the same shirt! I actually didn't realize it until I went back on facebook to find my 31 week picture with Lily. Ha!

I'm doing pretty well! Sunday was a little scary - I had regular contractions (3-7 minutes apart) for 17 hours. They weren't painful contractions, I just had a lot of pressure and kind of felt sick to my stomach. I was in contact with my midwife throughout the day, drinking tons of water, and trying to keep my feet up. We were beginning to think that maybe I had a UTI, but I wasn't having any other symptoms.

My sweet midwife called Sunday evening and said to rub Lavender essential oil on my belly because that stops pre-term labor. Within an hour of using the Lavender the contractions had stopped and I was able to go to sleep! Praise God!

Thankfully I haven't had any more regular contractions this week and I've been feeling great (well ... as good as a big 'ole preggo girl can! ha)

Pumpkin Patch

Last week we visited a local pumpkin patch - mainly to get some cute pictures. Unfortunately it was extremely hot so the picture taking was kind of a no-go. Oh well, we still had fun!

I loved these turquoise pumpkins! Aren't they so pretty?!

 Lily loves holding onto our hands and standing or walking.

 She was more interested in eating gravel than she was in getting her picture made! ha. I seriously had to dig several pieces out of her mouth. I will surely be glad when the put-everything-in-my-mouth stage is over!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend!

Jammin' with Daddy

 Father/Daughter Violin & Vocal Duo - LOL!

 "Oops, Daddy, I got lost. Can you start back at the beginning of that measure??!"

"Hey Mom, how do we sound? You think we'll get some gigs pretty soon?!"

Lily Crawling (A Video)

Last week Lily finally transitioned from scooting to crawling!

Our dishwasher is broken - that's the reason it's torn apart, in case you were wondering. ha.

Happy Wednesday!
