BIG Girl!!!

Ok, so I have been working on this post for a couple weeks - just now getting around to actually finishing it and posting it. So sorry.


I wanted to first congratulate Olivia and being "officially potty trained!" She decided about 2 weeks ago that she finally wanted to wear underpants and we tried it on a Sunday and there was no looking back. She has done great! We sill have a couple accidents - but nothing bad - more that she doesn't quite make it in time. Overall, she has really been doing great. She goes overnight without any problems and we even made a trip to Huntersville last week (about 2 1/2-3 hours in the car) without a problem. We are so proud of her!


On the baby front, I am doing well. Still tired, but getting better. The morning sickness appears to finally be subsiding. My next appointment on May 5th for the sonogram to find out if the little one is a boy or a girl! I'll work on making another poll on the blog for you all to vote for what you think it will be. Yeah!


Now for the fun stuff - PICTURES! Here is Olivia from a couple weeks ago riding her little big wheel in the driveway. She still has trouble reaching the pedals, but we are working on it.




Here are some cute pictures of Olivia and Gracie from when we had them over for dinner the other week. We got the girls some Easter hats at Target.



Needless to say, when they get together, it gets messy! At lease this time it was contained in one place. They pulled ALL the toys from upstairs and downstairs and filled the tent with them!




Grant took Olivia to the Science Museum a couple weekends ago while I was doing my craft afternoon with my girls. Here they are checking out the animals and butterflies:




Here is a quick picture of me at 15 weeks pregnant. Starting to show a bit here. My tummy has definitely popped out a bunch more from this picture. I'll try to get another prego picture of me on here soon.





We also took Olivia to get her 2nd hair cut the other weekend. Her hair was getting pretty long and really just needed to be evened out and trimmed a little bit. Here is the before picture:







Here are a couple of after pictures. It looks really cute. She has some longer layers and now her curls show up really well when it is humid out (which is all the time now!)




Here are just a couple of cute pictures of Olivia hanging around the house:





That's about all right now. Other than this, we have been trying to fix up the house and get it cleaned up a bit. We need to make room for the new little one and we are thinking about putting our house up on the market later in the summer to move closer to Wake Forest and Grant's Clinic. So we finally cleaned out our Garage and working on moving the furniture out of the study/spare room to make room for baby - so we have to make room in the bonus room for the computer!



We also got a nice new washer and dryer last week. We currently also have a house guest of the 4-legged variety. Shelby, Sara and Randy's dog is staying with us for a week while they go down to Florida to visit Sara's family and her Grandmother who isn't doing that well.
