Big Day!

A few days ago we went with a friend to the zoo because it was soo pretty outside. The girls loved it and really enjoyed getting be outside all morning! I think their favorite parts were the monkeys, tigers, fish, and birds. They were amazed at how close the tiger was to them!

For dinner that night, we headed over the Chauvin's house to celebrate that Griff got into UAB for his Med Peds residency! Yay!! We are so excited for them and glad that he will be able to stay here in Birmingham. Olivia sure was excited that her friend wasn't going to have to move far away :) This is a picture of Nedra dancing with ML and Livi :) Olivia was having a blast!!

We then headed to the local carnival to watch Griff and his mom ride one of the rides. She was all screams the entire time!! haha. Then we headed to the slide and JR, Livi, Griff, and ML tried it out. ML was not too fond of it this time but Olivia had a blast. She squealed the entire ride down and when they got to the bottom she cried so hard because she wanted to do it again! She kept saying slide slide, and reaching to go back up it. Poor thing. We may have to take her again before they leave town. All in all, it was a fun filled day with lots of friends!!

Life

Here is a little snapshot of things that go on during the day at the Millington household. We are attempting to get out all of our baby things for AK's arrival and Olivia has been having fun with all of these new toys!! FYI, the outfit that she has on was what she picked out to wear. Her favorite Elmo shirt and her boots. She has become VERY opinionated about what she wears. We change clothes many many times a day!! Oh no!

What I found when I walked back into the kitchen. Can't believe she actually tall enough to reach up on the counter! I guess I am going to have to watch what I put up there!

She loves loves loves her Elmo bubble bath!

Tired Girl!

This is one tired girl!! Way to tired to finish her french fry! Life must be busy being a one year old :)

SG's Birthday Party

This weekend we went to one of Olivia's friends birthday party. The party was adorable and SG's mommy made all of the super cute decorations! SG sure did love her cake and opening all of her presents. :) They even had a fun little house that the kids could play in and during the party they all got to color on it! You may be seeing this again at Olivia's party in a few short months! What a great idea and the kids loved it!!

Melinda even made the board by ruffling streamers with her sewing machine!

SG opening her presents

Happy Birthday SG!!

35 Weeks

I have not been a very good blogger these last few months, and with Anna Kayt's big day coming up in a few shorts weeks I don't see it getting much better, but I am really going to try :) I have not had much time to blog about our new little one so I thought today I would do a pregnancy update! I stole this from a friend of mine that has such a cute blog so I thought I would share some updates this way :)

How far along? 35 weeks

Baby's size? According to the internet, she should be about 18 inches long and 5 1.4 lbs.

Maternity clothes? This second pregnancy put me in maternity clothes much faster! I have been in them since about 12 weeks :)

Sleep? I usually only get up about 1 -2 times a night. I am sleeping much better with this pregnancy so far. However, having the stomach bug twice in the last few months has made for a few rough nights :(

Foods I am loving? Anything sweet. I think that most days, I eat more sugar that actual food! I also love going to eat at meat and 3 restaurants and any kind of sandwich and chips.

Foods I am hating? Mexican, corn, pizza, and salad

Best moment this week? Feeling her move, hiccups, having Olivia kiss my stomach and point to my stomach and call her Sissy.

Other random thoughts? We are still working on getting Olivia's big girl room together so that eventually Anna Kayt will move into the nursery and Olivia will go to her new room. It is so much harder to get things done when you have an almost 2 year old running around :) Next week I plan on getting all the bottles out, washing clothes, and getting some dinners made and frozen for when AK gets here.

Movement? A lot! I feel like Anna Kayt kicks a lot harder that Olivia ever did. I don't think that AK likes it when I hold Livi because she will kick me right where Olivia is and it hurts so bad :) She is an active little thing.

Symptoms? Heavy heavy stomach and very tired! Lots of stretch marks and varicose veins as well....boooo. Oh well, hopefully all this will get better once she gets here.

Gender? Its a girl! Anna Kaytlin

Milestones: I think that for the most part she is fully developed, but she is just putting on weight now, getting ready for her Birthday :)
