I still can't believe she is 2! I went in her room during her nap, and just stared at her around 2:00, only about 20 minutes after she was born, thinking back to how much she has grown up! Here's a pic of her the day after she was born, just about to go home, what a difference!!!!

The basement is finished!!!!!

The basement is now finished!!! We finished up some final pieces of trim and hung the last door on Saturday morning and started moving furniture down in the afternoon!!!!

Here's Jeff showing off his hard work!! So proud!!
Here's the living room area (excuse the dust in the air, I had just finished
sweeping up some dust on the floor)Another of the living room area
Here's the computer area
Standing by the computer desk looking towards the play area/exercise area
And the hall! Such a great place to store DVD's and books!This is what the upstairs looks like now.
(Excuse the toys all over, I hadn't cleaned up yet!)
Upstairs
What the living room used to look like! Very cramped compared to now!Where the computer used to be.
This is the best picture I could find that showed how the computer was.

My 34 week ultrasound!!!

I went for my ultrasound this morning and all I have to say is I am sooooo in love!!

He was so big! He's measuring a week ahead (they need to have the radiologist look at the measurements to determine the weight so I'll find out at my next appt). And he is definitely a boy! We got to see his "parts" several times which makes me feel better cause I was still worried that it was wrong! He was practicing breathing and looks so healthy! She focused in on his face several times and I could see the cute little lips and the chubby cheeks! And she went around his head and you could see he has hair already! He's definitely head down and now I know exactly how he is laying. His feet are in my right ribs, his bum is in my left ribs and his back is along my left side. He's face is pointed towards my right hip and all those pushes that I get around my belly button are his elbows! She wanted to get a picture of my cervix so she had me put my hands on either side of his head and pull up and you could see his head move up off of it on the screen, it was pretty cool! I really really can't wait to meet this little guy! He was so precious! Here's the pics from it.

Here's his side profile

You can see he's all cramped in there!

Here's his face. It's hard to see so I labled it in this one and then in the next you can kinda see it. She got a lot better shots of it during my ultrasound but this is the best picture. He had such kissable lips and cheeks!Same picture but not labeled as much.And his cute little foot!!!!

Juliana's growing up!

We put Juliana's big girl bed together a couple of nights ago. She really loved it, we had a hard time pulling her out of it! So we thought we would try and let her sleep in it at night. We gave her 3 chances and she failed each one of them, lol! All of a sudden we'd here "mommy, daddy, Juliana's out of her bed!" It would be nice if she was in it by the time Zachary came but there's no rush. Here's some pics. They look so cute together!

I bought some wooden letters to hang above Zachary's crib. I painted them and I am so happy how they turned out!

Here's pics of the bedding so you can see how it matches!

Basement Pictures!

I just realized that it's been about 3 weeks since my last post! Bad!!! So I thought I would post some pictures of the basement. My dad came down a couple of weeks ago and him and Jeff put the drop ceiling in and put down the laminate floor. It really finishes it off!!! Now all that is left is trim, doors and touch ups!

So hopefully we'll be moved down there within a month, definitely before the baby comes!

Third trimester, baby!!

Well, as of today I am now in my 3rd trimester! Yay!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that I'm here already, 27 weeks, crazy!! And with it being Christmas, the next few weeks will fly by and then all of a sudden I'll be 30 weeks!!

We tried to take the girls to see Santa on Monday night. We got to the mall (which is 35 minutes away) at 7:20 and we went up to the line there were quite a few people. The lady in front of us must have worked there cause she said that Santa was closed, the wait was over a half hour and he had to leave at 8. So we walked away and told Kayla that we couldn't see him. Her little heart was breaking and she started to cry, which of course made me almost start to cry cause she was so excited to go see him. So when we got home Jeff emailed the mall and told them how upset he was and that it was ridiculous that they would have the mall open until 10 yet Santa was only there until 8 and that they would turn kids away. We were both pretty mad. So luckily I had my OB appt the next morning so we took her with us and stopped on the way back. She was happy. We get home and there is an email from the mall waiting saying how they were sorry that happened and they told us that we get a free family package! So if we're brave enough we may try to go up Saturday and get a both of them on his lap! I'm happy they did something about it, or else we'd be pretty mad. If it wasn't for Kayla being so excited, we would have just said screw it. Here's Kayla's pic!


Anyways, I don't know if I'm going to be able to post again before Christmas, we have a busy schedule for family get togethers so I wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday!!!!
