Potty Time!!

Breck went peepee in the potty for the first time last night! He has started to act interested, a couple weeks ago he was nekki and went and peed right next to the big toilet and then flushed it and was so proud of himself. Since then most nights before bath he has wanted to try and potty on the big potty and a couple times tinkled a little in it. But last night daddy brought up one of the little potties, Breck sat on it and PEED!!!! He was SOOOOO proud of himself. Of course we jumped up and down and cheered for him which he loved (especially big brother being so excited for him!).
Then this morning, he went potty again in the potty!! Could this be time to potty learn?? He is only 18 months but I guess big brother was an early potty learner too so we may just be on to something, we'll have to see. For now we'll just let him take the reigns and go with it. The potty will be out but we won't push it until we are sure he is really ready.
BUT I couldn't be more proud of you baby boy!!! So impressed smarty pants!!:)

Someone....

Needs to steal my debit card. I have been shopping everyday since I found out it was a girl!! Dangerous! Today I bought baby girl a bunch of mooncakes goodies for when she is tiny. I loved that stuff for the boys and they have super cute girlie ones and their stuff is soooo soft!! Still can't believe I get to shop in the BIG section of the baby stores:)

Baby Sister!!

Big Brother Kayden is excited you are a girl! At first he thought he wanted "another Breck" but now he is very excited to have a baby sister and has to proudly show everyone your ultrasound pictures. Tells everyone you are the size of a banana now (the ultrasound tech told him that:) and that it will be great b/c you will play with dolls and not want to play with his trucks:)

The other day when we were talking about going to see Grandma W for Mother's day I said, "maybe I'll just go". He said "MOM!! You can't go without me! What if my baby sister HATCHES while you are gone?? Then I'd miss it!".

So we all look forward to you "hatching" baby girl!!

Thrilled!!!

Cute little footsies!

The "PROOF" is in "da bootie" :) :) :) :) :) :)!!!!! YAY!!!!

Yesterday we found out that the tiny little baby dancing in my belly is a little ballerina! We had our anatomy scan, and brought Kayden with us to let him see his baby sibling on the screen. The tech asked us right away if we wanted to know gender and when we said yes, she went right to the "money" shot and told us she was sure it was a GIRL. This made mommy freak out, crying and screaming and laughing all at once. I was SO happy to find out that you were a HER, SHE, Tutu wearing little girl. So happy that you have 2 adorable big brothers to watch over you and protect you. Just SO stinkin happy with how our little dream of a family is coming to a reality. I can't even articulate how perfect it is to us to have our 2 little boys and our little girl growing in my belly. You and your brothers are our dream come true! The tech after the big news announcement went over all of your parts and everything looked great and measured right on time and everytime the tech would tell us something she would say "SHE" or "HER" little feet, etc. And everytime I heard it was more real that we get a DAUGHTER and your brothers get a SISTER!
Dr. Welch our OB gave me a big hug when she first saw me and told me she was so thrilled I had a baby girl growing in my belly! She said she looked at everything and it all looked perfect. Your placenta is anterior which is why I feel less movement than I did with your big brothers.
We had thought we'd wait until you were born to let everyone find out you were a little diva....but your big brother knew you were a girl and we couldn't keep it a secret then! I text your grandma and uncles and told them I knew what you were "hahahaha" and when they called to find out big brother yelled "it's a girl" to grandma:) So the secret was out. You are the little princess we all had hoped for!
That night we went to Chipolte for dinner (that is your daddy's ABSOLUTE favorite place to eat...even more than any nice place, he loves his Chipolte...so since he gave me the girl I wanted so badly I figured I'd give him his Chipolte:) And you have made your mama love mexican food this pregnancy (with your brothers I couldn't eat or even smell Chipolte so daddy is super happy you like it:) so I was good with daddy's choice. Then we went to the mall and I shopped for some girly things for you to celebrate! Had to get you a cute little tutu, PINK of course!
I can't wait to decorate your nursery, buy you tons of girly clothes, put little bows in your hair and tights on you! I am just soooo excited for every bit of having a daughter! I look forward to many spa days with you, pedis, shopping trips and ballet classes. I am just over the moon to have you growing in my belly!

so glad.....

i blog. at starbucks yesterday morning in kc a little old barista was chatting with me and asked when my baby was due. then he told me what a blessing babies are and that one of his grandson's just turned 18 and for his present he gave him a copy of his journal entry from the day he was born. how special is that?!???? i can't imagine how special it would be to have something like that from my grandpa. probably the best gift you could get. it made me so glad that i blog. so glad that i have those memories and thoughts written down forever for my little ones to read soemday and for me to re-read over and over!

30th birthday date!

this weekend kyle and i escaped to kansas city for 2 days and 1 night to celebrate my 30th birthday. my mom and auntie martha came and watched the boys and we got up early on saturday and drove to kc. we shopped and sat outside on patios and kyle had drinks (mommy had water:) we did a bunch of nothing for 2 days and it was so nice to get to chat without kiddos interrupting us. it is so nice to escape and reconnect! thanks mom and auntie for making it possible!

thump thump

baby #3, daddy felt you kick for the first time yesterday. you were exactly 20 weeks old and daddy and i were on our little getaway for mommy's 30th birthday in kansas city. you were doing acrobatics in there so i told daddy to put his hands on my belly and sure enough he felt you. i love feeling you inside of me. and so far it's been our little secret b/c i was the only one that could feel your movements but now your getting strong enough for others to feel you on the outside. can't wait to meet you baby!! only 20 more weeks until you will join our family in the outside world. for now though i'll cherish having you inside of me, all to myself. love you baby more than you'll ever know!
