Coffee Date!!!

So this morning we were moving slowly for no particular reason. One of the things we decided to do was have a "coffee date". I made a yummy toffeenut latte and made Addi some steamed milk with a bit of flavor in a little espresso cup. Oh my goodness...she thought she was SO special. I just had to laugh at her.

Here are a couple of photos that I took of my little girly girl who loves coffee...woohoo!

Happy Monday!

Well, we had our LAST Dr appointment today before baby Nesbitt makes his grand appearance. Bill was able to go too so that was great! Other than getting some questions answered we don't know much more than we did before. This guy seems pretty comfortable in there. No sign of him coming out yet. I have had no contractions or anything so the Dr. thought that I would likely make it to the scheduled date. A week from tomorrow! AUGUST 3rd!

After the appointment we went to see that we were registered and all that. Addison of course made lots of new friends. When we got there it was one girl at the desk. By the time we left I think she had captured the attention of the entire staff. Addi just has that ability I guess. She is very excited to meet her baby brother. I am not sure what her expectations are. She knows he is going to be small but I do think she believes she is getting a new playmate.

Addison looked SUPER cute today to go to the Dr. She HAD to wear a dress. Thanks Auntie Pat and Uncle Ron for the adorable dress. She got lots of compliments on it. She calls it her dancing dress. Because according to Addison she can dance really well in it!!

These are just some pictures we took before we left the house...we actually had extra time...amazing....not for long!

1st Haircut!!

It is hard to believe that yesterday was Addison's very first haircut. I was a little worried just taking her to anyone so I waited and waited...I think Daddy was a little worried too. The lady that we went to, Terri, was great! She took off just a little to even everything up and Addison of course was thrilled. She thought she was such a big girl. She was actually quieter than I thought she would be. That was until the ladies started asking her questions. Then the animated answers came spewing out. One of the ladies told her that she looked pretty and asked if she was going to go to lunch. Addison told her that she wanted to go to lunch at "Jason's Jelly" because she likes the tiny muffins and crackers. She is just so funny.

Update on Baby Nesbitt

Well at the Dr. today I measured at about 40 weeks! So now it is up to the little man when he is coming out. To think I have two more weeks of being this big is a bit exhausting!! But he seems healthy with a strong heartbeat (147 today) so that is great! I just hope everything, no matter when it happens, goes well. Addison continues to be very excited. She told me today in the car that her baby brother was crying for his mommy. That he wanted Addi's mommy. Then she said Mommy Nesbitt. I have no idea where she comes up with this stuff. I am happy to have a bit of quiet...she was talking just so she wouldn't fall asleep and that can really make your ears tired!

I am HUGE!!

My tummy is so huge....it barely seems attached sometimes...that is until I try to bend over. I can't believe how big I have gotten this time. I don't remember being this big with Addi. But there is a lot that is different this time. I feel a lot more kicks and aches and pains than I ever did with Addison. I do wonder if this guy is going to wait until August 3rd. Part of me hopes so since it will be much easier logistically. But it is hot and this isn't the most comfortable state I have been in either...so early wouldn't be so bad. This is about the only "belly picture" we have taken but you can plainly see that I am GINORMOUS! We have a Dr appointment tomorrow. We are at weekly appointments, which I don't remember having last time either. I guess we will see what the Dr has to say! Until he decides to come I will keep waddling around!

Mommy's Little Helper!

Addi is so funny. She LOVES to help with whatever she can. She has been feeding the dog now for awhile. She normally does it all by herself. This may explain why Sidney looks a bit bigger than normal. But she is so proud of herself. I think she is going to be a great Big Sister. On Saturday we were sitting at the table and she said that she wanted to give her baby brother a hug and a kiss. So she pulls up my shirt and starts talking to my tummy after the hug and kiss of course. She was tickling his feet, and just telling him that she was excited to hold him. Then I asked her what her baby brother said...."He said I Love You Big Sister!". I just had to laugh. Addison is as excited as the rest of us! I do wonder if she understands that he is going to come out not being able to do much. I can't wait to see her reaction.

Date Night!

Saturday night Bill and I got to have a date! WOOHOO!! The first in a long time and sadly probably the last time in awhile. Bill picked a great restaurant in Dundee ( a little area of Omaha). It was a little Parisian Bistro. The food was great and the neighborhood surrounding it was so cute. Even though it was SUPER hot we went for a little walk to check out all the cool old houses. It was lots of fun. I forget how great it is to just talk to my husband without having to keep one eye on a two year old. It is nice to have time together and remember all the things that we used to love doing together and took for granted. Thanks for the great date baby! I had a wonderful time!!!

Addison had a great time with Heather. She LOVES Heather. She even told Steph when she called at 3:40 that "I have to go and get ready for Heather." Even though she wasn't coming until 6!

Mudsy Sudsy

Last Friday Addison had her last "camp" session at her preschool. This one was with the teacher that she is going to have next year. It was called Mudsy Sudsy. She was all excited because she was going to get messy!! She had a great time! There were all kinds of different things she could feel, mud, clay, little gel balls for plants, shaving creme just all kinds of fun stuff. Then she even got to eat a mud pie (chocolate pudding). She had a great time. I guess this teacher is awesome! Judging from the amount of effort she put into this camp I think I have to agree! I am excited for Addi to start preschool. Not that it won't be strange but I know she will have SO much fun.

97th percentile!

We had an appointment today and this guy is in the 97th percentile for size and I have extra fluid in there. So you can about imagine how HUGE I am. I think GINORMOUS is more like it. I am at weekly appointments now which I don't remember having with Addison. This guy being big doesn't change anything as far as our scheduled c-section date or anything. Our scheduled date is August 3rd! So if he decides to hold out that is when he is going to be taken out. I am getting SO excited to see him!

I have been thinking so much of all my high school pals too....we are all pregnant together! What are the chances! Emily, Jill, Amber and I are all pregnant and my friend Nicole in Germany is pregnant too. I think I am due first then Jill, Amber, Em and then Nicole. I think I have it right. It is just exciting that we will all have kiddos the same age! Really....what are the chances of that! It is too funny! Hope you guys are all feeling well!! Love and Miss You!!

We are READY!

Well, we are ready to go....this little guy can come anytime and we should be good to go. The nursery is finished, the car seat is ready, Mommy is MORE than ready to not carry this big boy around anymore!

Here are some pictures of our nursery. I LOVE IT! It is so fun and cute. I think we will be able to change it as he grows to a certain extent and it will still be great. Thanks to Bill, my Dad, my Mom, our friend Kelly (the beautiful quilt), and my Aunt Pat (the cool curtain) for their contributions in making Baby Nesbitt's room adorable!!!

ONE EXCITED BIG SISTER!!






Mom and Dad...I LOVE the shelf! It is exactly what I wanted!

BIG Baby Nesbitt...

So today we had another ultrasound. I have been measuring big ever since they have started measuring me so I guess that meant we could have another peek at our little guy...ahh not so little guy! So the appointment was this morning and it was amazing! It was so fun to see what our little boy looks like even if it is in black and white with all kinds of stuff in the way.

We found out that he is one BIG boy. The estimate is that he currently weighs 7lbs 13 oz. The ultrasound tech did a few measurements including his head, stomach and leg and with that she had him at 39 weeks! Hello!!! No wonder I am HUGE! So the calculation for a due date was July 22.

I guess now it is up to our little guy to decide. He seemed healthy but cramped. He wouldn't move his hands out of the way for a good picture but he surely has Addison's little nose. AND A LOT of hair! You could see the hair in the pictures in both the front and the back. CRAZY!

Picnic Time!

Bill had his work picnic today. It was a nice day for a picnic! One of the guys in Bill's office has a little girl the same age as Addison. They had a fun time playing! Her name is Madison...Maddie and Addi!

Playing Ring Around the Rosie!



It is nice that they were good at sharing....but Addi isn't that small!!

Fun Library Time!!

We have been missing the library! They were closed the week of the 4th and the week before we were at camp! But today Addi and Sophie had a great time!

Being Silly..


BIG HUGS!!



Reading with Ms. Dee

MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!

Happy 4th of JULY (a little late). I Love the 4th of July....it is just so fun and festive. We had a great time. We traveled to the great town of Fairmont for the weekend. Steph and Trent were fabulous hosts! We met my parents there and had a great relaxing weekend.

Saturday we had lunch at the Amboy Cottage Cafe. It was so great! It is just this tiny little place in Amboy, MN the whole place can maybe fit 30 people but the food was amazing! Everything was fresh, locally grown when possible. Yummy! The boys did a little golfing and the girls did a little shopping. When we were driving back to my sisters house....I wasn't sure I was going to make it. Something was going on and little baby Nesbitt wasn't comfortable.....therefore....mommy wasn't comfortable. Yikes! But all is well now and the drive back was just fine. Addi also got to check out one of Fairmont's parks....she was impressed!

Sunday we did a little pontooning out on the lake, had a tasty lunch, and went to see the Prairie Dog exhibit (yup, that is how you know you are in small town MN!) Addison loved it. She had a great afternoon nap preparing her for the fireworks. She hates loud noises so I wasn't sure what she was going to think of it but she liked it. Fairmont had a big fireworks show...it was really long.

It was great to just relax and spend time with family. It is probably our last trip just the three of us. Since I am 36 weeks I don't thing much travel is advised. Once again, I don't really want a State Trooper delivering our baby! Lakeside hospital works just great! In fact they called today and our scheduled date is all set! August 3rd at 7:30a.m. The real question is will baby wait that long!!!

Baby Nesbitt Update!

So, as of our appointment this week baby Nesbitt is doing well. I am at 34 weeks and I am measuring between 36 and 37. So it sounds like we have a big baby in there. We have another ultrasound next friday so that is super exciting! The equipment here is SO much better than the stuff in Naples with Addi. You can see EVERYTHING! Hopefully I will have some new pictures to share next week!!

Our Little Diva!

Both Bill and I feel fortunate that Addison is a pretty sweet, caring, good girl. However, we also know that in about 12 years we are going to have our hands full with our little diva. We weren't really expecting it at two but here is how Addison woke up this morning! In fact, last night when I checked on her before I went to bed she was wearing this same eye mask. Honestly I have NO idea where all the girly-girl comes from? But it made me laugh and maybe I should be crying at what is to come but for now I will take it in stride and enjoy my adorable little girly girl.

Fun time ALL together!!!

We had a great family day today. Bill had Wednesday off since he worked all weekend. That is the PERFECT time to go to the zoo. The College World Series was just finishing up but it wasn't too busy at all. And for once it wasn't crazy hot. Bill and I followed Addi's lead. First she wanted to see the tigers and then the goats and from there we just kind of wondered. It is so fun to spend time together. She was pretty interested in telling her baby brother all about the zoo too. Oh and that is our little guys name according to Addison....when anyone asks what his name is going to be she looks at them like they are crazy and says "baby brother". Like duh how can you not know that!

Addi with the goats....she is certainly getting more daring! That is until one of the roosters crowed and scared her and then she was ready to get outta there!

Fun With Daddy!

Daddy had a heck of a week last week and into this week at work. So Tuesday night we were more than happy to have Daddy home at his normal time. Addi surely missed him. We didn't have time to jump into the pool but Addi convinced Daddy to "just put our feet in". Well, a soaked little girl and ten minutes later proved to be more than just her feet but oh well....they had fun!




Just Looking Cute!
