11 Months & Still Growing
Happy 11th Month Birthday to my Baby Girl!!! Friday we celebrated Olivia's 11-month birthday - her last "month" birthday before she turns the big 1 !!! We celebrated with a present wrapped in pretty paper, which she loved tearing in to.
Once she finally got past the paper, she opened the box to find her very own baby doll. Wow!!!
She immediately grabbed her doll and started pointing to its eyes and nose. She only has one other baby doll, but she's never shown any interest in it at all. This one has eyes that open and close, and the baby cries and laughs when you give it a hug. So far, it's a hit!!!
Oh, but there's more. Daddy reached in to find a shirt for Olivia. Can you read what it says??? It took Daddy a minute to get it, but he finally figured out that Olivia was a big sister to her new baby doll.
Could there really be more?? Daddy pulled out one last gift tucked deep inside the box. After thinking that it was a baby tooth brush, Daddy finally realized what Mommy was really giving Olivia for her birthday - a new baby brother or sister. Yes, you guessed it.....
We're Pregnant!!! And Olivia is going to be the best big sister ever!!! She's already started practicing with her pretend baby sister, and she's doing a great job. She'll give her baby kisses and hugs. And other than dragging her around by her hat...I think we're well on our way to welcoming another baby into our family.
I found out on Wednesday, but wanted to surprise Josh and Olivia in a special way. I think that I succeeded. As you can see above on Josh's face, he's totally excited about having another baby! He's been all smiles since Friday, and our family was here to celebrate with us. I am 4 1/2 weeks along, and I go for my first appointment on Wednesday. As far as the internet can tell, we're due on June 20th! Happy Birthday Auntie Lynn-Lynn. Maybe you'll be sharing your special day with our newest addition - if he comes 1 day early!!So, I'll be starting another blog soon. I'll probably wait until after our first appointment, but it's only right to give the new baby his own blog. It wouldn't seem right to make them start sharing things so early!!
Can God bless us any more than He already has?? We are one lucky family!!!

OK, so it's driving me crazy and I see all you guys doing it -- but I can't ever load more than 3 pics on my blog. It starts replacing the last one after I try -- any idea why it's doing that?
