My Sweet Baylee

I sure do miss you!!

Ryan took Br and Bay up to his parents Sat. afternoon. Bay stayed there to spend some girlie time with Grandma. I sure do miss her sweet smile, constant giggling, and yes even brushing her tangly hair. She will be coming back home Thur night or Fri morning. Friday we will have a fun day getting our hair done (long time coming)!!

Sat before they left I took the kids and ran to the mall. As we were passing Claire's I asked her (as I do everytime we go to the mall) "Do you want to get your ears pierced?" GASP NOOOOOOO she said (as she replies everytime). Then she asks quietly "will it hurt?" I pinched her ear and said that is all there is to it. We had at this point past Claire's by two or more stores. She then say's "Well, (as she usually starts every sentence), I think I really want to get my ears pierced." I was in SHOCK. Thirty minutes, lots of crocodile tears and high pitch screams (yes people were staring at us as they passed the store)later, Bay had her ears pierced. My baby girl is growing up sooo fast.

Oh did I mention she can ride her bike without her training wheels too.

My sweet Baylee Boop.



I did get to spend some special time with my baby boy Pres while the other fam was gone. We took a nap, watched TV and went to Toys R Us. I really enjoyed that time with him.

How Did the Kids React?

We were not quite ready to let the exciting news out to everyone just yet but Ms. Baylee kind of did that for us.

Let me rewind: After I found out that I was pg, Bay, Brad and I happened to be at Babies R Us to pick up some diapers, wipes, etc stuff for Brad. While there I stopped and looked at the double strollers. Note***I will so desperately need this means of transportation as I am not going to take Brad anywhere without a stroller*** As we were looking at them Bay commented "this would be perfect for a little sister." I said "well God might want to give you a little brother instead of a baby sister one day." The conversation took a different direction at that point and the idea of a baby was forgotten.

Fastforward to Tuesday. Mom calls me at work and says "I want to ask you something and you be completely honest with me." She then proceeds to tell me her and Bay's conversation while sitting at the kitchen table:

B: "Mommy is going to give me a baby sister."
M: "What?"
B: "Mommy is going to give me a baby sister."
M: "Is your Mommy going to have a baby?"
B: "Well, she is going to give me a baby sister because I already have a baby brother."

So at that point I HAVE to tell Mom. Thanks so much Baylee for letting the great news out for me.


We told Pres yesterday that I have another baby in my tummy. His response "AGAIN?" I said yep and he said good. I just love him to pieces. He will always be my little boy.

I am so happy to share this journey with y'all. Thanks for reading.
