22 Months - Sara Mae

I can hardly keep up

with these monthly posts.

Time is flying!

Sara is talking in full sentences

and repeating everything.

Her latest word...

"hippopotamus"

Sara enjoys singing and music.

Her favorite songs include:

"Let it Go" - Frozen

The Sesame Street theme song

Hallelujah

Row, Row, Row your Boat

Wheels on the Bus

If You're Happy and you Know It

I think Sara will be a tomboy

like her mommy.

(I owe my mom an overdue apology.)

When I buy her a new dress

and ask her to try it on

her reply is always,

"No dress!  No dress!"

It took some fierce bribery

to get these pictures:

The smile was only because

I put "Let it Go" on the TV.

(my most effective bribe)

GIRL!

Sara is going to have a baby sister!

Daddy is outnumbered.

I always wanted a sister of my own

and I'm thrilled that Sara will have one.

I hope they love each other

and grow up to be best of friends.

19 weeks - Ultrasound

Our anatomy scan for baby 2

was this morning.

Baby is completely healthy

and there were no issues.

I am feeling so happy

and blessed

to have been given two healthy babies!

Baby was very active.

Lots of kicks and movement.

Yawning too.

We decided to do things a little differently.

We asked the tech to put the gender

in an envelope for us.

I brought the gender results

to Party America

where they filled a box

with balloons.

The plan is to have Sara

open the box tonight.

Stay tuned...

Belly Comparison

Left was Sara at 17 weeks.

Right is today at 18 weeks.

17 Weeks - Baby 2

I am 17 weeks!

This pregnancy has been trying.

I'm trying to enjoy it

just in case it's my last.

I am much more exhausted,

emotional, and sick this time.

The baby was very active last night.

I can feel a lot of movement

and even Matt felt pulses from the outside!

I have my anatomy scan on January 12th.

I'm looking forward to it

and praying everything measures well.

We won't find out the gender.

It's so tempting...

but nothing can compare to

Matt introducing me to our child

in the delivery room.

21 Months - Sara Mae

At 21 months,

Sara surprises us daily

with what she knows

and how smart and sweet she is.

She can sing a lot

of the ABC's.

She also can sing

and knows the actions to

"Wheels on the Bus"

"Black Sheep, Black Sheep"

"If You're Happy and You Know It"

"Row, Row, Row Your Boat"

and I'm sure many more I don't even realize.

She can use full sentences

in some circumstances.

She is funny

and enjoys making us laugh.

She loves to dance

and can't get enough of the song

"Let it Go" from Frozen.

She can listen to it over...

and over...

and over...

We were driving to school

and I had "Hallelujah" 

by Jeff Buckley

on the radio.

After the song was over

I heard Sara in the back seat

saying "Hallelujah"

over and over.

She really enjoys that song.

She likes to play outside

and can use the steps

to her playhouse

all by herself!

She also enjoys helping mom

pick up sticks in the yard.

She echos me when I give

commands to Lucy.

"Lucy out!"

"C'mon Lucy"

"Go to Lucy's Bed!"

Sara is an absolute joy.

It's wonderful watching her grow and learn.

Best of Friends

These kids have such a blast together.

I could watch them play together all day.
