It's a girl

Blessing Promise Coralie Bauman arrived this morning at 5:18am. She weighs 6lbs even and is 19 1/2 inches long. She's pink and perfect in every way :)

A daddy in training

Melt. My. Heart.

My baby is babywearing his "quack quack" (aka mr penguin). And look! He's even learning how to help his daddy with chores!

How beyond adorable is this???

If these pictures are blurry, I'm sorry. I couldn't keep my heart from melting all over them.

A peek into the past few days...

Mr Loverboy, dress up with aunties and playing catch alone

Bodey woke up this morning in an amazing mood. He was Mr Loverboy all day.

He spent most of his day throwing a ball. It's funny how long he was entertained by throwing a ball for himself to fetch and then throw again. I will never understand the male mind...

Bodey's aunties got ahold of him tonight. They had fun using him as their real live doll. They dressed him up in all sorts of frilly, girly outfits/princess dresses! At first Bodey enjoyed it. But after about 20 minute he was done. D.o.n.e. haha poor little guy.

I'd love to write more, but guess what?? It's 10:50 and I'm actually in bed!!!! Already!!! I'm so excited for a real early bedtime :)

3 years ❤

Today is Jeff and my 3 year wedding anniversary. He had to work tonight (insert sad face here) so we went on a date for lunch. We went to BJ's Brewery and had some chicken strips, French fries, some ice cold cream soda (YUM) and then finished the meal off with one of their famous pazookis. Oh my. It was all so delicious! Bodey was with us (of course) and he was Mr. Charming himself. He was smiling and flirting with everyone. It was crazy. After lunch we walked around in the mall for a while. It was a lovely afternoon :)

I can't believe it's already been 3 years. We were joking today that we're on a roll. 2 kids in 3 years isn't bad. ;-)

I've got about an hour til today is over and then it's open game for belly baby to make his/hers appearance. Tomorrow could be fun-- both my babies would have a 22nd birthday. But Thursday would also be a good date. We'd have our anniversary on the 21st, bodey's birthday on (April) 22nd and belly baby on the 23rd.

Or whenever

At this point, I just don't care anymore. Come on baby. Please come out?

41 weeks

I'm 41 weeks today. I. can't. believe. I'm. still. pregnant!!!!!! Jeff is cranky that he has to start another work week. He acts like I can control this whole birth thing... ;-) C'mon baby!! Come out already!!!

I slept in crazy late today. I woke up in a puddle of water, and was super excited, thinking that my water had broke. But apparently Bodey spilled my water all over the bed. :-/ This has happened twice that we've thought my water broke and later found out it was spilled water. Super annoying people-- Stop spilling things!

Bodey was Captain Emotion today. Oiy. He woke up so grumpy I swear someone had to have peed in his cheerios. Towards the afternoon he turned in to Mr Loverboy. Then this evening he went sour again. *Head spinning from his little roller coaster of emotions!*

Tomorrow is Jeff and my 3year wedding anniversary. Its the only day that I've said I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A BABY on. Which means, I'll probably be having a baby tomorrow. :-/ I made the same mistake with Bodey. I said "I DON'T WANT AN APRIL 22ND BABY." Guess what?? I have an April 22nd baby. Someday I will learn.

Its 9:40pm. Bodey is asleep. My house is clean...ish...  i'm going to go take a refreshing bath, watch some Dick Van Dyke and go to bed early. :)

Our Sunday

This morning we had church. Once again, I didn't get to sit through a service. I have a certain little screaming child to thank for that. ;-)

After church we ran a few errands. I bought Bodey some winter clothes-- 24 month size!! I can't believe that he'll fit into them by fall and winter. That's crazy.

After errands we came home and did housework. Dishes, laundry, ect. I did some gardening and was thrilled to see some veggies growing. It's about time.

Later we went to my parents. Jeff and Shelbie went to college group. I helped put out a big oven fire, then spent the rest of the evening exhausted from that whole ordeal. It was scary.

Bodey and Shiro took a bath together tonight. That was hilarious. Lots of screaming, splashing and laughing.

We are home now. Getting ready to watch a movie, eat ice cream and fold laundry. It's kind of a mini-at-home date for us :) btw-- our 3 year wedding anniversary is on Tuesday!!! Wow!!

Anyways, that's all for now :)

Saturday

Today I got to sleep in. I was sleeping so soundly, I didn't even hear Jeff and Bodey get up. I've been dealing with insomnia at night, so I get very little sleep in the night hours. :-/ Its super annoying. Its a blessing to get to sleep in on the weekends. I'm trying to enjoy these last few days/weeks of sleeping in before I have two little ones and no longer have that luxury!

After I got up, we got ready and went to run some errands. We went grocery shopping and bought MORE labor/after baby snacks. That is annoying to me, since for the past 3 weeks each time we've gone we've said, "This is the last time we grocery shop before we have a new baby!" And then the week goes on...and we eat the labor foods...and have to go shopping again. GRRR. This time, maybe it really is the last time!?!

After our errands we went home and unpacked. Then went on a walk to grandma's house to celebrate her birthday with her. She was really hoping I'd have this baby today so she could share it's birthday. But apparently Belly Baby didn't like that idea. :-/

This evening we went to my parents and watched a slideshow of Shelbie's trip pictures. The Garcia's came over to watch with us. That was fun. They brought...pumpkin pie...which was strange to eat in August... (And yucky. Pumpkin pie is nasty!)

My high of the day: Jeff put the window AC unit in the game room. YAY! No longer will it constantly be 100o in here! (I can blog without sweating!)

My low of the day: Bodey's nap fight. Eeek.

(This is from last night...he fell asleep watching a movie with his daddy)

Grandpa with his grandson and great grandson

This is what naptime looked like today.

Mr. Foxy



And that picture ^^ soon turned into this picture....

"BUT I'M NOT TIREEEEED!"

*yawn*

Goofy boy.

Tired today...

We've been busy and tired today!!! Bodey pulled a 4am-er last night and today we suffered for it. Lots of yawning and grouching going on over here ;) but! The good news is, so far he's sleeping good tonight :)

I'm beginning to think I'm going to find out what being 41 weeks pregnant feels like! This baby is just too content in there!

Come ouuuttttt baby!! Come out!!!

She's homeeeee!!!!!

Shelbie is home!!!! Finally!!! Tonight the family once again felt "complete."

*happy sigh*

On a sad note: Bodey is sick :-(( please keep him in your prayers. He needs to get better FAST and not spread any germs around. The last thing we want is to welcome a newborn into a house full of sickies.

We spent the majority of our day in bed. I was a bad mom and let him watch a movie to keep him entertained. He watched it upside down. *scratches head*

Later in the afternoon we headed to my parents to wait eagerly for the family to arrive with my long lost sister.

We spent the rest of the afternoon hugging, crying, laughing and feeling like the family was whole again.

So happy :)

(see the DARLING baby mobile she brought back for B2?!? SO cute!!)

I'm off to bed...praying to get sleep tonight. Praying that Bodey sleeps peacefully and wakes up healthy again.

40 weeks today!

I'm 40 weeks today! Come baby come!!

Highlight of today??? SHELBIE COMES HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!

I'm. Beyond. Excited.

Today's low? Poor Shylie sitting on a table to stay safe from the clutches of Bodey. :( what a bully. My 3yo sister is afraid of my 16 month old. *sigh*

Highlights

Highlights:

The olympics are FINALLLLY over!!!!!! I'm sooo excited to have Jeff and Bodey back on planet earth! (yes--Bodey watched (and loved!) the Olympics!!!

And that's all for now :)
