About Me

We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

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!

DPP December 9




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!
