31 weeks!

Time is really flying lately. Everyone always says the second pregnancy goes by faster and it really does. We have so much to get done around the house. I feel like the list is endless. Thank goodness I have a husband who is patient and level-headed. Everytime I feel overwhelmed he is there to reassure me everything will be just fine. I want the house to be perfect before Miss P arrives and to be honest...we haven't bought her a single item yet:( Once the house is all re-organized, and Ella's closet is revamped in her new bedroom(leaving the nursery lots of space for teeny tiny clothing) I promise we are going shopping JUST for her! And maybe we will even name her...that's a big maybe though;)

Here I am at 31 weeks pregnant. At yesterday's appointment I was able to see the Dr. who delivered Ella and he gave me an u/s so Tom and Ella finally saw this baby! Everything is going great. She is head down, in position with plenty of fluid and a strong heartbeat. And apparently I ate too much on vacation because I gained 11 lbs in 6 weeks. The Dr. told me to "curb my appetite". I laughed at him hoping he was just kidding...

A lovely FL day

The next few blog posts will be catching up on our 3.5 week trip to FL. This particular post was a great day. We drove to Citrus County to have lunch with Tom's grandma and Uncle Joe. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and having lunch on the water made me realize just how much I miss the sunshine state. Ella could barely eat because she was so excited to look at the boats and throw leaves in the water. She kept saying "Mama, come on, let's go look at the boats in the water!" After lunch we decided a quick stop at Weeki Wachee, a FL tradition, was a must. We watched the Mermaid show which Ella seemed to really love. Now she believes every woman that swims is a mermaid. Ask Aunt Monica whom Ella referred to as a mermaid the other day in my parents pool;) All in all, quite the perfect day.

How appropriate is this sign considering I feel like I'm the size of a manatee?

My beee-utiful Sprinkle!

I am one lucky girl to have a best friend like Bridget! She thinks every baby deserves to be celebrated so she threw me the most wonderful baby sprinkle with my closest friends and family. It was perfect! I loved it and I was able to catch up with a lot of people. Everyone was way too generous and spoiled the little Miss entirely too much. It made me even more excited to become a mama of two GIRLS:) Less than 10 weeks now! To view all the photos, click here.
