So Happy Together: It's Official!

Ever since our last ultrasound I have been excited about having a girl, yet still wondering if maybe our third little boy was playing an April Fool's Day joke on us. Well, it's official! We're definitely having a little girl! Hooray!!!

Like most mother's of boys, I am more than a little excited to dress her in frilly dresses- so excited, in fact, that I stopped at the store after the doctor to buy a few cute girly things.

The one on the left Brad and I actually picked up when we were in Hawaii in 2005. We weren't yet expecting any children, but hoped they were in our future, so we bought a little boy and little girl outfit. Jason and our new little baby should be able to wear them both together.

Anyway, the two other dresses I picked up today. I can't wait to make matching flower and bow headbands and buy ridiculous things like rumba tights and sparkle shoes!

I'm not quite 20 weeks, but I definitely look very pregnant. The more children you have, the more you show rule definitely applies to me. Parker was my energetic photographer, but you get the idea.

One of the things that I am most looking forward to is seeing Brad with his little girl! Parker is thrilled about it as well! Anytime we mention it he squeals in excitement! We still have 4 1/2 months to wait, but we'll all have a lot of fun preparing! Let me know if you have any favorite places to get your little girl things!

"Byoo, aqua-rameen, lell-o, 'jenta, wed, peenk, pur-pur, back, o-wahnj" Liesel plays a coloring game on the ipad, so she knows all her colors, including less-common ones, like magenta and aquamarine. 12/12

Funny Parker Quotes

Parker: "No sol-is-ting" Mom: "It says, 'No soliciting, which means they don't want people to come sell things. Parker: "Yeah, people don't want someone coming door to door to sell stuff like taco salad." Ha, ha! I don't know where that came from, because I have never heard of a door-to-door taco salad salesperson, but if there were we might buy it, because we love taco salad, even Parker does," Ha, ha! 1/13
"I love pitas. I want a pita with a donut in it." He's figured out how to make a good thing better, ha, ha! 1/13
"I want to be the best reader in the world". This was what Parker wanted to work on during his parent-teacher conferences. 1/13
"It would be cool if there was a toy Pebo. He could be a little guy about this big (gesturing about 14 inches). He would have a drawstring like Woody's that you could pull and he'd say things like, "I think I'll go fly my plane" or "you can play my ipad". He would have a little remote control airplane and a little ipad that is as big as your phone." The kids nickname for my brother Peter is Pebo. He has his pilot's license and shares his ipad when he comes to town. Apparently he's make a sweet action figure, because even still, a month after the initial comment, the boys still pine for the Pebo toy, ha, ha! 1/13
"I'm good at golf, mini golf and huge golf." 1/13
"A new 'expoundation'!" Parker and Jason made up a game. Every time they made a pretend discovery, they said this. 12/12
