Decorating Christmas cookies...nothing fancy but Adah loved it and that is all that matters!

She doesn't like for her hands to be dirty!

Checking out her cookie!

"Really Dad?! Your gonna keep taking pictures? Really?"

The next too are just random and cute....she likes to drag her toys over to the window so she can use them to stand on and look out!

Friday Fab 5

Short and sweet this week:

1. Adah and I had a play date over at my friend Kara's house who has a little girl Anna who is 2 mths older than Adah. Kara and Anna were actually in Monterey with us and we were in the same play group. Anna and Adah had not seen each other since before they turned 1!

2. I had some pretty painful cramping on Tuesday and when I went to the doctor on Wednesday I found out I am already 3 cm dilated! Hope she is going to come before the 22! I would LOVE to have her without being induced!

3. I got to get a sonogram on Thursday to see how baby #2 is and if she is big/small and head down! She is indeed head down and is measuring right on schedule!

4. Adah and I helped her little friend Caitlyn celebrate her 2nd Birthday on Friday with her mommy Stephanie at Chick fil a and Skinny Dip! It is always fun to get together with Stephanie and Caitlyn! The little girls LOVE each other so much!

5. JOSH IS HOME! Now baby girl can come whenever she wants! I was so scared when I was cramping this week that she was going to come while Josh was out of town! Adah and I are so glad to have daddy back...we both missed him a lot!

Today Adah got to help her friend Caitlyn celebrate on her actual birthday! We had lunch at chick fil a and they played in the play area and then we headed over to Skinny Dip ( a local yogurt place here) and the girls had a little treat! Adah didn't really like it much...not sure if it was the coldness of the yogurt or what.

Hugging goodbye! Thankful for sweet little friendships!

This is our very first sonogram and glance at our sweet princess #2! (5/10/10)

This is a profile taken on 9/10/10

This was our 2nd sonogram...they had a hard time finding her heart beat the first few appts.

(6/8/10)

7/23/10...The day we found out we were having another princess!

This one is from TODAY(12/9/10)...she is indeed still a girl!

This one got out of order but it is from when we first found out the sex in July!

This is an attempt at a profile picture from today....I think she is just about maxed out as far as room!

Baby girl #2 is head down and measuring right to date! She is about 6 1/2 lbs! They said she is not too low yet but again they said that could change in seconds at anytime! We will see what she decides to do! Regardless we will meet this angel in just under 2 weeks! Will she look like Adah? Will she come early and without induction? If I only knew I wouldn't get nervous every night going to bed! Good thing my sister gets here in a week!

DPP December 8

So today was my 37week appointment! The OB office was a mad house! Adah got to go over to her friend Caitlyn's house and play while I went to the appointment....Stephanie(Caitlyn's mom) has been such a life saver for me lately and I am so thankful that God has put her in my life here in VA when I don't have my family and by good friends near by to help! Adah cried for about 5 minutes after I left Stephanie said which is awesome for Adah......but when it was time for her and I to leave and come back home she LOST IT! She SCREAMED and CRIED the ENTIRE way home yelling for Cay-yin! I think she has a new little bff! I love to see them interact and copy each other and especially to see them give each other hugs goodbye!

Anyway the only picture I took today was of Adah reading her Dr. Seuss books that she got for Christmas last year from her MiMi as Adah calls her....or her Great Grandma Sparkman(my grandmother)! I can't get it to upload so I will have to just upload it for you all tomorrow bc I am EXHAUSTED!

Oh, I'm guessing our little peanut is going to come before her induction date! I am 3cm dialated already....I know that doesn't mean much but I just have a feeling...especially with all the pain/cramping I have been having lately!

After and exhausting morning of dealing with the USPS and all their stupidity...seriously....Adah and I went and got Da-Dee a little surprise! I didn't know if I liked how it turned out when I first saw it but as I look at it more and more through out the day....yes I would go look at it every time i thought about it....I think I really like it!

I got Josh this bible back in 2007 while he was stationed on the Alexandria for his JO tour and had it engraved with the boat name and he would take it with him while underway. I was looking at it when we unpacked after moving here and thought he couldn't carry it on the new boat with his old boats name....so I decided to just add his new boat to it! I had wanted it to go underneath the Alex name but they said that there wasn't enough room so above it went! I think it is kinda neat and special!

Don't worry he has seen it and seems to really like it! I'm not good at keeping secrets or surprises from him!

Adah LOVES bath time and helping mommy get her ready for bed!

CHEESE!

DPP December 5

Adah and I had a pretty relaxed day....it was too cold to go out anywhere so we just hung out at home in our PJs all day and watched Dora and played! This evening Adah's friend Caitlyn came over to play so that her parents and grandpa could go to a comedy show in VA Beach! Adah LOVES Caitlyn and they had fun laughing, playing, eating dinner, snacking and watching Elmo. I even got to try out putting 2 girls down for bed! Since we have a crib and everything is set up Caitlyn went down here until her mommy and daddy get home! So far it has been great! Here are some pictures of the fun!

Caitlyn took her sock off and Adah was seriously concerned about it and chased her around for a good 15 mins trying to put it back on her foot!
Eating mandarine oranges together at the little table!

Adah playing in mommy's house shoes!

Still trying to get that sock on Caitlyn's foot...Caitlyn sticks her foot out for Adah to try...haha!

These next 3 picks are in the opposite order but I'm too tired to fix it....Caitlyn sat in the little chair first and was being silly and as soon as she got up Adah HAD to sit there too....Adah hardly EVER sits in that chair! And we normally don't have the bar up but Caitlyn found it before she got in the chair and insisted that it go on!

Adah looks so sad in that picture but she is EXHAUSTED! Since Caitlyn was here she got to stay up an hour past her normal bed time and she was ready to go to bed at this point!
Of course Adah is reading to Caitlyn while she sits in the chair! Too cute!
COOL Caitlyn!
