Let the Sickness Begin!


Well it looks like Izze and I have had the our first bout of the stomach flu. Luckily Drew is still holding strong (which is amazing to me). We did end up getting to go to another doctor appointment yesterday (before I crashed hard), where we had another ultrasound. Last week our little one wasn't cooperating as well as she should have so we got to go back for another round. The baby was doing exactly what the doctor wanted and we were able to get some amazing pictures! The doctor let us see the baby in 4D, which we didn't get to do with Isabel. I couldn't believe all of the tiny features and how amazing it was to see how she will look. Modern technology still amazes me each day!

It's A Girl!

Today we had our ultrasound appointment, we brought Isabel along to get her first glimpse of her new baby. It took a while to get the baby to cooperate, but once she did we were 100% sure it was a girl. We spent 45 wonderful minutes as a whole family looking at our new addition and it was amazing watching her wave her little arms and kick her little feet. The doctor showed us that everything looks WONDERFUL and we even got a little picture of her smiling : )

Tonight Izze had to be sure to kiss her baby sister goodnight and give her a big hug before going to sleep. I know she will be an amazing big sister, she is so gentle with babies and just loves them to pieces.

I am thankful for my wonderful husband who was just as excited about having a girl as he would be if he were having a boy. Drew is an amazing dad and I know both Izze and her baby sister will always be daddy's little girls.

I am a lucky woman!

Back to School

Going back to school can be so bittersweet for me. I always enjoy getting back into a routine, but miss the lazy summer days with Izze and Drew. We officially have 2 days of school under our belts, which means come Tuesday it's go time!!! I am blessed yet again this year to Drew's parents and my parents helping out by watching Izze during the week. Izze loves to be home and this is such a nice way for her to play with her own toys, sleep in, and take great naps.
I wanted to post some pictures of Izze taking her cousin Paige to her first day of 1st grade, but my sister is still getting them to me, so stay tuned.

Also the 13th of Sept. we find out what baby Halbesma is, any guesses??????
