Updates.............

  • Last Thursday, Stefanie's doctor discovered that Olivia is breech.
  • Today, Stefanie has another doctor appointment to check if Olivia has turned on her own.
  • If Olivia hasn't turned, the doctor will try to turn her. If they are able to turn her, the doctor will induce Stefanie so that Olivia is born while she is in the right position.
  • If they cannot turn Olivia, Stefanie will have a c-section. =(
Needless to say, we are anxiously awaiting the results of today's appointment.


**CONTEST**


Share in our excitement and guess the date & time of Olivia's birth. I have a (super cool) prize for the winner.
Extra prizes for guessing weight & height.

23 Months

We are cherishing this age. He is so happy and silly. Thinking about Olivia makes me reminisce about when Bradshaw joined our family. I never could have imagined the light that Bradshaw would be in our life. Bradshaw has brought so much joy into our family. We are so grateful for him. And now we can't wait for Olivia; we know she will bring our family more of that same joy and happiness!

Yesterday at church, Bradshaw kept flipping through the hymnal asking me for the popcorn song. (Can you imagine the entire congregation standing up and doing the hand motions to I Looked Out the Windows?) Then when the sacrament was being passed he told the deacon "juice please."
Then a girl got up to speak, who looked remarkably like Stefanie. Bradshaw stood up on the bench and was mesmerized by her for a few minutes and then began pointing at her and yelling "baby! baby!"
  • He loves to jump and skip around the room. He will drum his fingertips together and evil laugh (Dustinn taught him this.)
  • He re-enacts his "ouches" (it's pretty hilarious) so I understand exactly what happened.
  • I love that he still thinks the best seat in the house is my lap. I also love when he cups my face with his little hands and gives me a big kiss.
  • He fills in the words to some of his favorite songs (Popcorn Popping, Tiny Tim & Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam).
  • He has a monkey that he loves and adores. When I lay him down to sleep, Bradshaw demands equal treatment for monkey. If I give Bradshaw a kiss, I mustn't forget monkey. Or if I gently stroke his face, Bradshaw insists monkey's face is stroked. I'm guessing he is going to be a protective brother. =)
(Can you guess who was the instigator here? brand new bowl btw)

Dustinn was getting dressed for work and Bradshaw ran and pulled his church pants on and slipped on the shoes. Wants to be just like daddy. (He has begun choosing what he wants to wear...his favorite shirt is a 101 Dalmations pajama top.)
