Legoland

Jacob's co-workers were nice enough to give us tickets to Legoland and since I had a three day weekend we decided to have a mini-vacation and Legoland was our first stop!  We had so much fun.  The weather was nice and Nevaeh was actually able to get on many of the rides, even the "big kid" roller coaster!  Don't know if we will be heading out there any time soon, a little too pricey for us... we are Disney folks.

25 Weeks

Here I am at 25 weeks!  My tummy is really starting to get big now.  This kid is kicking pretty hard now... so hard my belly moves!  Still feeling great, just retaining some water but other than that I can't complain!

1st Field Trip

Our big girl went on her first field trip!!  The whole preschool went to the Carlsbad Flower Fields for the morning and daddy got to be a chaperon to make sure his baby was safe.  Nevaeh had a great time in the sun and in the bus!  She has been begging to ride on a bus for a while and she finally got her chance today!

Sunday Afternoon

It was a pretty gloomy Sunday but we still managed to have a nice afternoon outside.

COOKIES

Heart shaped cookies?

Nevaeh shoving as many chocolate chips in to her mouth as possible!

While at Kohl's we decided it would be a brilliant idea to purchase a cookie press.. well needless to say it wasn't such a great idea after all.  It turns out it is a little messier than expected and for $23 it better work VERY well.  So, it will be going back to Kohl's 

ASAP.   Well even though it was pretty messy the cookies turned out great! 

Beach Day

Here we are at the beach!  We were there on 2/28 but due to MORE issues with camera we were unable to post.  It was so warm that day... we had to make her pants shorts and let her run around in her undershirt!

5 month ultrasound

We had our 5 month ultrasound and the baby is doing amazingly well!  Our little munchkin' is really active much more active than Nevaeh ever was at this stage and it has been so much fun feeling this one move SO MUCH!  We were able to check out his/her heart, brain, tummy and limbs (including a great shot of some big Samoan feet).  I can't believe how emotional I got, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal since we had been through it before but I just feel that much more blessed to be able to have such a healthy kid AGAIN!

Anyway, we did NOT find out the sex of the baby.  I think it is a boy, just because he/she is so active and I did have some slight morning sickness this time around.  BUT I am secretly hoping for a girl.  I know we already have one but knowing how special and strong the bond between sisters is I feel the need to give that to Nevaeh.  I can't imagine life without my sisters, a best friend is one thing but a sister... no comparison.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVED having my brother for as long as I did, it was a very comforting feeling to have such a strong big brother in my life.  He did everything a big brother should, he was funny, caring, protective and picked on me like only he could, but still a little sister for Nevaeh would be GREAT.

With that being said, I am grateful the baby is big and healthy, no matter the sex!

Only 19 more weeks to go before we meet this little bundle of joy!!
