Day Forty One

No need to fear...Mama is here!

So thankful that my mom was able to come back to help out while I am on bed rest.

Day Forty

Here is Baby Landon--sitting a lot lower than my previous belly shot. He is head down right now (I say right now because he is such a mover) and my ribs are very thankful!

We are getting more and more excited to meet him--6 weeks or less! Yay, the end of pregnancy is near.

Good Afternoon Sunshine!

Lyla looked so cozy in her crib today when I went to wake her up after her 3 hour marathon nap...

May 27, 2010

Day Thirty Eight

A lot of lounging, reading, coloring, and Elmo's Potty Time was what our day consisted of!

And a huge thank you to my brother for taking Lyla to swim lessons and spending the day here to help out. We love you.

Day Thirty Five

Cause I just can't get enough of our little Lyla...
What a happy girl she is hugging her Grandma.
We are sure gonna miss her.
(I don't wanna think about it.)

Next time she comes it will be for Landon's arrival. Wow.

Day Thirty Four

She may look grumpy, but she was actually very content watching Yo Gabba Gabba with her "Peelow" and blanket...until we interrupted to take a photo-- cause she is so darn cute!

May 22, 2010

Lyla had a wonderful time celebrating her 2nd Birthday with a party at Peter Piper Pizza!

Her favorite part was certainly the Carousel...

Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweet Lyla!

What a lucky little girl to spend the day with both her Grandmothers!

Day Twenty Four

Lyla before swim lessons...
She was not too sure about class on Tuesday--
and preferred to watch from the steps.

Today she was right back in the water,
and although it was a bit chilly
she hung in there!

Her favorite part is when they floated on the noodles!
(And at the end of class when she got to sit on the steps and splash.)

May 12, 2010

Day Twenty Three

My Baby Belly !
Little 'Lando' is looking great in there--
even with his head up in my rib cage.
Had an appointment today, can hardly believe
62 days or less til we meet my monkey!
Can't wait!

Day Twenty Two

Lyla and Ariana taking a ride!

Day Twenty One

Frappaccinos Anyone?
(I could not chose one photo)

Today Lyla and I treated ourselves to half-price Frappaccino's after my daughter said (and I kid you not) "Mommy, I want a frappacino" as we were driving. And it was her lucky day because so did I!

So, I enjoyed my Caramel and she enjoyed her Vanilla bean Frappaccino!

Lyla perfecting her role as a "Mother!"

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mommy's...

I feel so loved...

Thank you Chris and Deba (my mom in law) for sending me flowers!
What a treat.

(Can you tell I love yellow)

This photo does no justice to the beauty of these flowers...

Lyla is looking like such a Big Girl...
I can't stand it.

May 5, 2010

Day Sixteen

Don't you love it when you finish a good book--
and find out there is a sequel?
and don't you love it when you go to the library and the book is there for you to check out!
Perfect and perfect!

I am still right on track with my 24 books in 12 months!

May 4, 2010

Day Fifteen

Lyla's very first swim lesson was today!
We had so much fun! Thank goodness no tears were shed! I will never forget Lyla asking repeatedly if she could get her towel. She would say, "No thank you (to doing all the exercises)...I want my towel!"

She is already asking to go again!

May 3, 2010

Day Fourteen

Nice to have our table set...
Nice to have an old friend for dinner.

Day Thirteen

And a 2 picture post...
Thank you Chris for spending time with Lyla all day
so that I was able to get a lot of cleaning and scrapbooking done!
Ahhh, I feel so productive!

May 1, 2010

Day Twelve

A work in progress...

(yes that is tiny "trying" to use her potty-- which she brought into the playroom--no success today, perhaps tomorrow!)
