The Purple Treasure

A friend of ours moved houses over the weekend and gave us a few things one of which was a purple felt designer hat. It has gotten lots of use in our house this weekend. The girls have loved their new found treasure!

I went into the other room and this is what Kaelyn was doing when I came out.

Maddy even surprised us with an impromptu magician act (see video below).

My 3 year old...

Madelyn's comment this morning while we were eating breakfast:

Maddy: "Mommy is the cheese going into your belly?"

Me: "Yes"

Maddy: "The baby is getting all messy."

Me: "The baby isn't in the same place as the food."

Maddy: "Did you take the baby out?"

(This is the 3rd time Maddy as asked if the baby is out of my tummy or if she can take the baby out. So cute!)

The Staple

So yesterday we found a staple in Kaelyn's gums. I sat her down for dinner and she started crying after every bite she took. We couldn't figure out what was wrong. Was her food too hot? No. Did she have a tooth ache? No. She has a staple in her gums!! So we got the tweezers and removed it and all was well, but poor baby! She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth!!

Why I haven't been good at blogging

Well I should add that I haven't been very good at keeping anything up lately because... I am 13 weeks pregnant (and feeling pretty sick - hopefully I am on the tail end of it all).

I just got a comment from one of my readers asking me to post more on my blog. I know, I know I have been absent these past few months, but my blog isn't the only thing that has been negleted.

We are really excited though for this next addition. Yesterday was the first time we got to hear the heartbeat. The nurse before she put the dopler on my stomach stated that because the baby is really small still it will probably be hard to find the heartbeat, but at soon as she put that thing on my tummy we instantly heard it. Already competing for attention!

Jay's mom went with me and the two girls to my appt. After 5 minutes of the two little girlies touching everything in the checkup room I asked her if she would take them out and wait in the waiting room. It was too much.

She told me later that as soon as they got into the waiting room Madelyn turned to another little girl sitting next to her and loudly proclaimed "I don't have a baby in my tummy!" She did ask the nurse too if she could open my tummy so she could see the baby. Such a cutie!
