Ernie go potty????

M has a stuffed Ernie that she keeps in the car and every once in a while she will ask for Ernie. Well today as I was taking her to the sitters she asked for Ernie. I reached back and handed him to her. As I was driving this is what I hear,"Ernie poop?? Ernie Poop?? Potty Ernie?? Elmo potty Ernie."

She was given the Elmo Potty DVD and only watched it once and not all the way thru! Thought that it was cute that she was telling Ernie that he needs to go on the potty!

Life as a family of 4

Well alot has gone on since the last time that I posted! We are living now as a family of 4 and it is just perfect. We can not imagine our lives without little A, she just fits right in.

She has been a great baby ~ pretty much the same as M when she was a newborn. She likes being held and that is pretty much the only way that she will sleep, she LOVES to eat (really loves) and she is content just laying around and taking everything in. She is getting up in the night about every 2-3 hours to eat and than on good nights she goes right back to sleep!

M is taking on the "Big Sister" role like champ! She loves her baby. She wants to know where she is at all time and wants to help mommy and daddy with helping A. She enjoys shaking the bottles, throwing away the dirty diapers and telling baby to "SHHHHHHH" when she is upset. Her favorite thing right now is when A is in her carrier, M likes to go over and say, "rocka baby" and rock the carrier. Every night before bed time M will tell everyone goodnight and she loves them, but she has to come over and give A a kiss!!! Just melts my heart everytime! She is such a great little girl and just growing up so fast :-(

We are enjoying the great fall weather ~ going to the park, pumpkin picking and yesterday we all went to the Columbus Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. M had a GREAT time and A slept the whole time.

We have been really busy, but are taking it all in and just can not believe how blessed we are to have 2 beautiful and healthy little girls. We just hope that all the couples out there still waiting for their little bundles of joy thru adoption ~ that it happens soon for them! Everyone needs to experience the love of a child and hear the laughs of a child in your own home!

Welcome home, "A" Nicole

Here is our beautiful little girl! We just love her to pieces ~ she is such a laid back, content little thing! M just loves her to death and Roscoe followers her around everywhere, her private body guard :-)

We love you A and "T" you will always have a special place in our hearts!

I took this picture last weekened when we went out to the WILDS. The colors in this picture are so beautiful and breathtaking that I wanted to share it with you all. Just nice to sit back when our lives get crazy and enjoy mother nature!

One more week????

Today was another doctors appointment with our BM. She was in a great mood ~ all smiles! She said that she has not worked all week, because numbers has been low, so I think that she has gotten some MUCH needed rest!

The appointment went really well!!! The doctor said that things are moving right along and if she makes it to her next appointment (which is next Friday) he will do an ultrasound to see how big the baby is going to be and talk about what he is going to do in regards to inducing her.

So please continue keeping her in your thoughts! And I will keep you posted!

Let the count down BEGIN!

Okay, so Friday before we left for our trip we went to our birthmothers doctors appointment. She is looking great and said just right now she is REALLY tired and just crashes when she gets home from work. Poor girl!

But the appointment went REALLY well. The doctor said that she is dilated (but did not say how much) and he thinks that she is going to go before her due date which is October 5th!!!!

We all kinda thought that she was going to go early, but to hear the doctor say that, makes us have to get our little butts in gear and get things ready to bring a baby home! We have everything, just need to get it all organized and put together (poor Josh!).

Her next appointment is this Friday and I am anxious to see if she has made anymore progress......this week is finals for her, so we are hoping that this sweet baby girl does not decided to make her grand arrival and will wait for one more week so she can get her tests done!

Please continue keeping her in your thoughts! I will update again on Friday!

A much needed quick get-a-way!

We went down to TN for Labor Day weekened and visited with my cousin and her family. We had a great time, like we always do. We love to just get away and not worry about anything...work, dogs (they were well taken care of), and everything else that is going on that is crazy in our lifes!

Before we left on Friday our awesome neighbors allowed us to borrow their DVD player for the car...M was in Nemo Heaven ~ as soon as it was over and had to watch it again, but hey, it made that 7 hour drive so smooth that sometimes we did not even realize that she was in the car.

While we were down there M got to ride her FIRST roller coaster SOLO! We both were nervous at first because we did not think that she would sit, but she did. She had a great time!!!!

I attached the pictures of M on the 3 different roller coasters ~ first was the pigs, second bumble bees and than last was the ducks!!
