Hannah's Many Sleeping Positions Cont.

Hannah has continued to surprise us with how many unusual position's we can find her in while sleeping. Here are some more examples:

This one crack's me up. Once again she is hanging onto the mattress for dear life. A rock climber in the making?? Great form sweetheart.

I like this one too.

Are you sure you are comfortable princess??

I love it when we catch her snuggling her buddies in her sleep.

So sweet that she is resting her head on her arm. This is one of the most normal position's we have captured her in.

What's not to love about this one?? Her little feetsies hanging out is my favorite. What you can't see from this angle is that Buster is laying on her head.

Snuggling again :-)

Hannah's Many Sleeping Positions

Before we go to bed Jake usually goes into Hannah's room to make sure she is sleeping comfortably and covered with her blanket if it is cool. Usually Hannah has a limb or two hanging out of the crib railing and Jake kindly adjusts her into a more comfortable position. The past few night's he has taken pictures of how he has found her sleeping. These pictures beg the question: "How is this comfortable?" Enjoy.

Night 1 Hannah has 3, yes 3 limb's sticking out of the crib. And the 4th limb is apparently holding onto the mattress for dear life.

Night 2 She is sprawled on her back with one foot in the air being supported by the rail. And her head shoved against the other rail.

Night 3 She is snuggling Bubba and her 2 babies. Precious. With one foot and an arm hanging out of the crib, and her other foot up in the air.

Night 4 Sprawled out like an eagle


The plan is to move her into a toddler bed by December...I'm thinking said bed better have some good rail's.

WE ARE HAVING A.....

The gender ultrasound was this morning and we found out that we are having a baby BOY!!!!!! Crazy!!! I told Jake we can stop now that we got 1 of each :-) It was so fun seeing the little pumpkin squirm around. He is a gorgeous healthy little boy! Jake was just glowing when the technician announced that it was a boy. We are so excited. Hannah was just staring at the screen saying "baby! baby!" It was adorable. Grandma bought him his first little outfit's right after we found out. I am so excited to buy stuff in the boy section now! And we definitely can't wait to meet this little guy.

Now we need to start thinking of names. Any suggestion's????

Here are some pictures of the cutie:

Perfect Bedtime Angel

Tonight we did our usual bedtime routine: read books, sing song's, and say family prayer. After the prayer Jake gives Hannah a goodnight hug and kiss and then she comes to me to be rocked and sung to for a minute or two. But tonight was different.

Right before the prayer Hannah reached up toward her crib and started fussing because she wanted to get in. So she got in and laid down with her baby and Buster. We told her we were going to say prayer so she got up off her stomach and knelt with her arm's folded in the most angelic position you could ever see a child in. She stayed that way for the whole prayer. Following which she laid down and said "Nigh Nigh". We covered her up and left her bedroom. No lullaby. No rocking. She went to sleep like a big girl and a perfect bedtime angel.

Jake and I left the room and just stared at eachother in awe. Jake's response was "what are the chances of that happening again?" Haha.

My baby....my sweet Hannah.....please stop growing up so fast. Love, Mama

Sewing Project

My friend Kelli (whose husband is in the same class as Jake) has a fabulous sewing machine and she offered to help me learn how to sew. I bought some organizing basket's and fabric for under Hannah's changing table about a year ago. But the fact that I don't have a sewing machine or any sewing skill's led to those organizing basket's cluttering up Hannah's closet for a long time. Earlier this week we started working on sewing the liner's and last night I finished them! I am so happy with how they turned out. Sewing is addicting! Now I can't wait to start another project and convince Jake that I need my own machine :-)

Here are the finished baskets:

Here is Hannah's changing table before:

And after:


Major improvement if you ask me. Thanks Kelli!!

Princess Dress-Up

I just found out about a give away from the Princess Dress Up Closet. They make the most beautiful princess dresses for little girl's. I have been planning on getting a princess costume for Hannah to wear on Halloween this year, and one of these dresses would be perfect. Especially if it's free :-) So of course I had to sign up for it. I mean, wouldn't Hannah look ADORABLE in THIS dress? I hope I win. But if I don't, I hope when of you friend's win :-) Go HERE and enter to win one!

18 Weeks Pregnant

This pregnancy is flying by! 18 weeks down, 22 week's to go. I don't think 22 week's is long enough....all I can think about is only 22 more week's of uninterrupted sleep. Ugh. I figure some of you are curious as to the development of this here baby bump. Unfortunately the little pumpkin isn't that noticeable yet. I wish I was like some of you ladies out there who look pregnant week's after conception. The nice thing is that I haven't had to wear maternity clothes yet. My jean's are a teensy bit snug but it is nice to still fit into them.

Jake felt the baby kick for the first time yesterday. It was exciting for both of us. I love feeling a little person inside of me. What an amazing thing we mother's get to experience. I have my first OB appointment in Moscow this week and soon we will find out the gender of this new little addition. I'm hoping for another girl :-) What do you guy's think it is?

Humor me and tell me I look 18 weeks pregnant :-)

The bump is more prominent in this picture.
