the verdict

It's A BOY!

Savanna has her own set of ultra-sound pictures she shows off. She knows "baby brother" is in mommy's tummy. I'm excited that I get to buy all new BOY stuff! I may have bit off more than I can chew by deciding to make his bedding myself. I just LOVE the rag quilts and they don't sell a set at any of my favorite stores. Good thing we're living with my mom & I have a bit of extra time on my hands...264 squares...yikes! I must admit that I was becoming a bit concerned because I hadn't felt any baby sized kicks. It all came together at the ultra-sound. This kid just lays there. Yes, he'll move his hands, feet, etc. But nothing like his big sister was. I'm hoping it's a sign that we're in for a mellow little boy. After Savanna I could use a little tranquility.

cousin love

Savanna & Madison 2009

these two are known as "the twins" or "double trouble." it's very much a love/hate relationship. either they are playing nice and entertaining to the rest of us; or pulling hair, hitting, crying, etc. it's become "the norm" for double time-outs. one is always talking about the other {Savanna even mentions Madison in her sleep}. lucky for them, their mothers are sisters and have arranged many a trade-off in order to run errands or clean house. gotta love it!
