35 Weeks - Baby Two

21 weeks                                                35 weeks

Only a few more weeks

until we meet baby girl.

I can tell by her kicks

that she is getting stronger every day.

She has been head down

during my last couple appointments.

This has been a trying pregnancy

but I cannot believe I've now had

TWO

healthy and complication-free

pregnancies.

I feel so blessed

and so very excited to meet this little lady.

I also am excited to see Sara

step into her role as big sister.

I know she will be a great one.

33 weeks

Once again,

Lucy has the big job

of propping up my belly

when we're relaxing on the couch.

I'm looking forward

to having baby girl in my arms

rather than in my belly.

I can't wait to meet her!

I'm glad the pregnancy

is going well

and baby girl is happy and healthy.

Feeling beyond blessed!

Miss Sara

It's been so much fun

watching Sara's personality

blossom these last few months.

She changes daily and is learning

her limits.... and ours.

She loves doing things herself

and her vocabulary is impressive.

She loves

her big girl room

her big girl bed

brushing her own teeth

her visitors

her baby sister

her furr sissy

her daddy

and most of the time, her mommy.

I see her daddy in her smile

and her goofiness.

Night Two - Toddler Bed

 

 

 

Night two in the big girl bed

didn't go as well as night one

but it still went quite well.

 

 

 

At 1:00am

Sara was next to her bed

standing and crying.

I helped her back into bed

and put on her night light.

 

 

 

 

 

 

At 3:00am

I looked at the monitor

and she was sleeping on the floor.

 

 

 

 

At 5:30am

She cried for her paci.

It was next to her on the floor.

I gave it to her and

asked her to climb back into bed.

She did and stayed there

until I got her up a couple hours later.

 

 

I couldn't be happier

with how she's transitioned so far.

Nap time this weekend

will be interesting.

 

 

 

 

 

 



Myrtle Beach Trip

The Leskes wanted to visit Myrtle Beach,

so that's where we went!

I'm not one to turn down a trip

to the ocean.

Unfortunately, I had to work while there

to save time off work for maternity leave.

Nevertheless, we had a great time.

Sara loves the big ocean

and was the most excited

to see the ocean view

from our condo.

Sara enjoyed having

mommy & daddy

in her room.

 

 

Every morning,

she jumped into our bed to play.

We took a drive to Barefoot Landing

to do a little shopping

 

 

Later,

while mommy worked and Sara napped,

Daddy went para-sailing with Allison.

Daddy described para-sailing

as very relaxing.

 

 

Mommy woke Sara up from her nap

so we could enjoy some beach time.

Mommy misses laying on her tummy

so she dug a hole in the sand for the belly.

On our last day,

Mommy and Sara went to the pool

to eat our breakfast.

Mommy packed a bag

so we could go straight from

breakfast to swimming

while Daddy stayed back

to pack up the condo.

Vacation wore Sara out!

We left to drive home during her nap time

and Sara was out in a matter of minutes.
