“Ooo Baby Baby”
We’re PREGNANT!!!!!
Well, The Crew just got a little bigger. Ok a LOT bigger! We invited our families over for lunch and surprised them with the news before digging into dessert. Some had a hunch we were going to announce something since this is pretty much the same scenario as when we announced Kayla being pregnant with Adalyn. You can see that video here. But, no one could have guessed that we are having TWINS! The look on everyone’s faces in the video below are priceless. We had such a blast having our family over for lunch and sharing this experience with them. This is going to be a very exciting next few months and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thanks goes out to our loving and supporting family. We love you all and appreciate everything you do for us.
Here’s the video:
Here’s the Ultrasound:
Here’s my mind:
First Freckle
We recently spotted Adalyn’s first freckle! It’s adorable. We brought it to her attention and showed her how Mommy and Daddy have them too. We continued making a big deal about it, pinching it (playfully), rubbing it, and kissing it. So now every time we ask her where her freckle is, she pinches it and gives it a big kiss. So stinkin’ cute!
Tiara Bracelet Thingy
Adalyn pulled off the Tiara that was attached to her princess doll. When she realized it was too small for her head, she decided it made a fantastic bracelet. It was adorable. She wore it all around the house, sticking out her wrist so you could see it as she passed by. Just like a little princess. Too funny.
Spring is in the Air
Park Adventure
Yesterday turned out to be a gorgeous day to play outside. We’ve been hesitant to take Adalyn outdoors too much because every time we do her nose starts to run like a waterfall. Luckily her nose didn’t bother her once during our little outing. We arrived at the park around 9AM or so and there wasn’t a soul around. We felt like we had hit the jack pot. We had the whole park all to ourselves. When the first family did finally show up, about 10 minutes later, we asked them if the park is usually this dead. They told us that no, it’s usually packed by this time, but the Jonquil Festival must be keeping most of the families away. Adalyn ended up having a blast. She spent most of her time running around and exploring, looking, and touching every nook and cranny of the playground. When more kids showed up, she would try running after them, give up, then watch in awe as they run across the swinging bridges, climb up the rock wall, and spin around on the sky whirl. After a good 30 minutes of non-stop playing, Adalyn looked like she was getting tired. She managed to “walk” to the car but as soon as her head hit the car seat, she was OUT. She must have hibernated a good hour and a half afterwards.
A Shorty
Adalyn got Gold Stars across the board at Clinic on Thursday. We’re so proud of her. Addy’s BMI is in the 60th percentile and her lungs sound clear. Oh, and she also got fitted for her vest! Yay! Mommy and Daddy’s arms are celebrating. 🙂 The Respiratory Therapist brought in a couple of adult sized vests so Kayla and I could feel the effects it will have on Adalyn when she starts to use it daily. It was definitly an interesting experience. We’ll be sure to write more about it once we receive the vest and have gone through our official training session.
Peek-a-boo
We have our quarterly Clinic appointment today. Crossing our fingers for a good report!
Little Miss Independent
Adalyn “insisted” she feed herself this morning. Me, knowing there would be a huge mess to clean up afterwards…but also knowing it would make a great photo opportunity, handed over the spoon. 🙂 How else can you tell that Daddy was the one feeding Addy this morning? No bib. Doh!
