News update

So Sophie has been having a little tummy ache. I knew she was either getting sick, teeth, or something. I noticed last night while brushing her teeth that she has all four of her eye teeth popping through! Poor girl!

(I keep wanting to say Stella...) I went to the doctor yesterday to hear Reese's heartbeat. Let me tell you she will never be aloud to have sugar of any sort! I took my glucose test and from the very first sip she was bouncing off the walls of her 'womb'. I gained 3 pounds this month (16 total). Everything looks great doc said. I now start going every 2 weeks---really, already! We will set a date in 2 weeks for my induction. Mark and I are hoping for September 9, 2009 (9-09-09). Silly I know, but fun! That would put her at exactly 39 weeks gestation. Doctor said he would go as early as 38 weeks...so 9-9-09 should be fine unless it is booked (doubtful).

So that is what is going on in baby world around here.

Madalyn is about to attend an art camp with her Spring Valley art teacher. She invited her to be in it! Madalyn and Loraly are both completely awesome drawers (I know I am their mom, but everyone tells me that they should really keep drawing because they are that good and to not loose that talent).

We are looking for a church here in Midlothian. We found one we are going to try. Most of the churches here are pretty old and little. Not that that matters but we are so used to big churches...

We are having a 4th of July, New house party this weekend, so hopefully I will get some good pics to post.

(30 more days until Mark and my 10th anniversary!!!- totally excited about being married to him for 10 years and saying it sounds totally weird)

She is a big girl! (boo hoo)

I am a sad mommy. My baby girl is growing up. We bought her a big girl bed tonight. She went to bed just like she always has- a pro! I snuck in to take a quick picture and found her lying sideways. The bed is really awesome! It starts out this small size but you can extend it out into a medium size and then into a twin size bed! She was a little sad when she saw her crib in Reese's room with the new bedding in it...

YAY!!!

We are finally back online! I have so much to catch up on but it is dinner time... I will get to it maybe tomorrow after a few errands and a late 18 month old photo shoot. But YAY! Having no internet is no fun.

A few pictures to show a little of what we have been up to. And the baby has a final name--

Reese Prestyn Michalewicz

I have ordered a few personalized onesies for her, and her bedding came in today so I will post pics of that soon. We are probably getting Sophie a bed this weekend so that we can get Reese's room started. Like I said lots more to come (hopefully with time).

Sophie is 18 months old

I am only recording Sophie's growth progress today. I have lots to talk about but with the move coming in 3 days, so much to do and plan.

Sophie is:
29 inches in Length = below percentile 5
24 pounds in Weight = between percentile 25

Changes

Honestly I was worried about what to do with my blog...would I have to change my title of Girly Girls to Girly Girls plus one baby boy, or would I have to change my background off the cutesy pink designs (that I love)...

Well, looks to be that we will be still known as the Girly Girls!

Yes, that is right, we are going to be welcoming another sweet baby girl in early September. God must think I am a really good mom to girls or that I am really good with the hair bows and tutus! My due date isn't until the middle of September, but he said since we are moving, and with this being my fourth that he would schedule an induction at 38 weeks! Yay-less time to have to be pregnant! So since I have only gained one pound the first 18 weeks of my pregnancy, I totally made up for it this month! I gained 7 pounds!!! I knew I had gained a lot because-how do I say it--I have BLOSSOMED!

So we are shooting for Stella Rose...(hopefully the girls don't decide to switch the name) to arrive around the beginning of September.
