Lydia is going to be a BIG SISTER

This little girl is beside herself...... she loves babies and all things little. We told her around 16 weeks, after I had a few checks up and everything looked normal. I wasn't sure if she'd be excited or not, so I thought we'd shower her with presents. 

We let her open the presents and then told her our big news.... She was so cute and girly! Alan told her she was going to be a big sister because I had a baby in my belly; she squirmed, put her hand over her mouth and lightly said, "My Mama?" She instantly wanted to touch/feel/kiss the baby and has been obsessed with my belly since then!

I attempted to upload a video here.....

A few things I found for her..... stuff for her baby, a Big Sis shirt made by KK last summer, and some books from the library. She loved those books so much, the Easter bunny brought her some of her very own to keep forever!

Of course I had to take some pictures of her all dolled up

She really is excited!

If I need to get a real smile these days, I just ask her if she's excited to be a big sister.

She wants to wear her dress every Sunday to church. I think because she's proud and partly because people still make a big deal out of her when she's in it. One Sunday, we walked to the Capitol and played around.

(I think I started showing quickly this time around.... maybe because I was soooo hungry all the time and ate everything in sight!)

We were in the soon room for ever for this anatomy scan. "Baby Mac" stayed all scrunched up the whole time! This was the best picture we got with his/her feet up by the head, but everything else checked out normal. Praise the Lord!!

We were still standing strong on our "we don't want to know the gender" until 2 seconds before we walk into the room and Alan says, "Let's just get it in an envelope incase we change our minds." So now we have (or he does!) an envelope with the gender hidden somewhere in this house!
