Ryann Lorraine

 Yay! Ryann is still 100% girl!
We had our anatomy scan today and it was so much fun to see our baby girl!
This ultrasound was so much better than our experience with Emmie. I don't remember the tech telling us as much as this tech did when we were pregnant with Emmie.

The tech showed us every little part and told us about each organ and what she was checking. Ryann looked perfect! As a mommy that is a big relief to hear :)
My original due date was Sept 8, but they have it in their records as Sept 6th and Ryann is measuring one day ahead of that [so 3 days ahead of my original date]. I'm keeping with Sept 8th, since I charted and know when I ovulated, so she's just growing well right now :)
The tech said the ultrasound machine guessed her to weigh 1 lb 1 oz right now and her heart rate was 154bpm :)

 

It's still surreal that we're having another little girl! [or another kid in general!] I am so excited to know she's for sure a girl now, I gotta get crocheting!! haha

Photoshoot

My good friend Amber did a photoshoot for me and Emmie and I couldn't be any more grateful than I am!!! She did such a great job! Here is a sneak peak at a few

Last of our Trip

We are finally back home!
We had such a fun trip but I am so happy to be home! I missed my husband so much. I didn't think I missed my house..until we pulled up and I saw what spring had brought!!!!

Look at my pretty tulips! This pic makes them look small but they're big! I can't wait for them all to grow. [ignore my lawn...my husband IS mowing tomorrow lol] I decided I want to plant a few more of these around the house, they're too gorgeous NOT to!

I also came home to find my fluffy mail had come for Ryann! [Minus 2 more dark pink bumgeniuses that are in the mail and we still need to order some prefolds and snappis]

 

 These are all newborn dipes. They are ITTY BITTY. I mean, just look at the wipes. The wipes are the size of a diaper lol!

The evening before we left we surprised my husband's parents COMPLETELY by showing up where they were eating dinner. This is Emmie and her Papaw Fisher.

I was able to get some of the photos from that memory card the other computer wouldn't read. Here is Emmie in her princess outfit.

Annnd a fun video of Emmie dancing to Mickey mousekersize.

Emmie is obsessed with the piano! She's pretty good at keeping a rhythm too.

Shoes. She found a love for them...here she is wearing size 8 or 9 heels -.- She was walking in these better than I can.

Watching Little Einsteins with Papa :)

Emmie also loves Buddy the bird. Here she is singing "ABC's" to Buddy. 

21 Weeks

Ryann is now at 21 weeks gestation!

My belly is slowly moving up and and up. I'm starting to feel her kick higher now a days.

Boy is this kid active! I thought Emmie was active, but I'm starting to think Ryann is gonna give her some competition! Emmie was good to me and didn't kick when I went to bed [maybe one or two kicks then she'd stop], Ryann is opposite. She goes into full ninja mode when I lay down lol.

From BabyCenter: "Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now."

We have our anatomy scan on Monday. I can't wait to see Ryann again and see how much she has grown in 4 weeks!  Hopefully we can get some good pictures :)

Emmie is starting to talk more about Ryann. Mostly only in the mornings and if the conversation is initiated by someone else though. She gives her kisses in the morning and pats my belly and says "good morning Baby Ryann". I still think she's clueless [she's only 2 afterall :)] but we're taking her to the ultrasound on Monday, so hopefully after that and then as my belly grows it'll start making a little more sense in her head. lol.

No new symptoms really. I am convinced Ryann is gonna give me a bunch of stretch marks though. She's growing so fast and my old stretch marks are starting to become more visible =/ Oh well! Not like I go bare belly anywhere lol!

Our Independent 2 Year Old

Emmie refused to let me help her get dressed this morning lol

I think she needs more practice

She ALWAYS wears her sunglasses upside down. Cracks me up :)

Park Playdate

We had a playdate today with Cierra and her kiddos.

My goodness are Madison and Ellie ADORABLE! They are just about the sweetest little girls ever! 

Emmie all ready to go meet them!

I think she is just about the prettiest thing ever :)

Meeting Madison for the first time

The 3 of them were too adorable. They wanted to hold hands to walk everywhere

Emmie loves this airplane at the park lol

So did Ellie :)

And Madison too! lol

Playing ring around the rosie :)

We all fall down!

Also caught a video of them playing ring around the rosie :)

hugs goodbye

:)

I can't wait til our next trip. We're definitely gonna have another playdate. There'll be 5 little girls instead of 3 next time! How crazy! :)

I did take a pic of Cierra and I...but it came out soooo blurry! haha not worth posting
