Birthday girl!

Emma had a fabulous 2nd birthday celebration! Thanks to everyone who helped make it so special, including a few out of town aunties & grandparents!

Baby oh baby!

35 weeks with sister hugs, 37 weeks, and a few perspectives at 39 weeks

We are getting closer by the minute, but we've still got a little time to wait. At book club yesterday and friend shared a birth story of someone in their circle who went to the doctor, was 10 cm dilated, and was directed immediately to the hospital. Following her arrival, the baby was born in 15 minutes. I have my appointment at 10:45 this morning and now I have something to strive for! ;o)

Grammy & Baba are here, the baby let me finish my last week at work, and if (s)he waits another day or so, Steve will get through his busiest part of the week as well. Time will tell!

Fun at the fair!

Can summer really happen if you don't make it out to the Great Minnesota Get Together and consume 80000 calories all on a stick?? We don't think so either.

How did this happen??

Wasn't she just born?? Apparently not, because our little girl turned 2 over the weekend! She had a fabulous birthday weekend, complete with grandparents, Chi O aunties in town, an Aggie victory over the Gopher's (seriously, how did that one happen?!), an ice cream cupcake, an Elmo party, lots of fun with friends and family, and more presents than one girl needs. . . It was an awesome weekend, perfect for celebrating an amazing two years. Happy birthday sweet girl, we love you!!

A 'yee haw' to some favorite Texans!

I have some relatives who are not on facebook. This is shocking, I know, but as they are not on facebook, they have not been able to keep up with us as readily when I get delinquent on the blog. So here's a bump update just for them. Now, go friend us already!





In sequence - 24, 27, 32, 34 weeks

The bump's a growin'

The bump is getting bigger - I think even bigger than it was when Emma was in there - and with it have come a few pregnancies pleasantries (some heartburn, minor swelling on hot days in my fingers and toes, sore back). All in all though, still feeling great, doing well, and loving the experience!

Some summer fun - in pictures

A Murray Family vacation to Jellystone Park, the zoo, the Children's Museum, splash pads, and more! We're loving all the sun we can get! *Oh, and some proof of the escape and her new temporary bed while we get the big girl room ready!*
