It's a ....

BOY!!  We went for our big ultrasound today, and found out that we are having a BOY.  We couldn't be more excited!  More importantly, we are thankful for a healthy baby.  Everything measured perfectly and all organs are accounted for!  The baby's heartrate was 155 and was estimated to weigh 10 oz.  I had an anterior placenta with Haisley, so I couldn't feel her move until I was about 22 weeks.  This time the placenta is not in the front, and I have been feeling flutters for about a week now.  I love it!  It is so reassuring to feel him move around.
When we found out that Haisley was a baby girl, we had a big production and cut a cake to reveal a pink center.  This time, we wanted to do something special but low key.  Mark and I decided that we would have the ultrasound tech write the gender down and put it in an envelope.  Just the two of us went to dinner and opened the envelope.  It was special for us, but the suspense between the ultrasound and dinner was killing us!!  We feel so blessed and thankful for this little life!

15 Month Stats

Today my sweet baby had to go to the doctor for her 15 month check up.  She was such a big girl!  She had to get two shots and stopped crying before we left....that's progress!  These are percentages I looked up online.
Weight:  19 lbs (about 10%)
Height:  29.5 inches (about 15%)
Head Circumference:  17.5 inches

There are a few things I want to write down so that I'll remember.  One day Mark was trying to read to Haisley while I took a shower, and it wasn't long before I heard her little feet running to the bathroom.  I opened the shower curtain and she was standing there holding a book saying, "Read, Momma, Readdddd."  I mean, I basically thought it was the most precious thing ever.  She is also saying "Thank you" now without having to be reminded.  Not all the time, but more than she used to.  Whenever I spill Hutch's dog food on the floor, she is the best helper and carefully will pick each piece up and put it back in his bowl.  She is more interested in baby dolls these days too!  I realize that I have already done a 15 month post, but I couldn't resist writing what my baby girl has been doing lately.  We basically love our sweet baby girl more than life! 

15 Months

My sweet angel is 15 months old!  I have no idea how I have a toddler now.  She is such a sweet blessing.  She keeps us laughing, and on our toes!  Some updates on the angel:
Teeth:  WOW!!  Teething is rough!  She is cutting a molar on her top right side, the one on the bottom right is all the way through.  She is also cutting a molar on the bottom left side.  Did I mention teething is rough? 
Tricks:  Her new favorite thing is to do a back flip out of my lap.  She also loves sitting in stuff, doesn't matter if it is a box or a basket. 

 

Eating:  The biggest update is that she is eating with a spoon!  She makes a huge mess, but she's got to learn somehow!
Sleeping:  Sleeping is still going well.  She goes down about 7 and sleeps until 6:30ish.  That's right, she's sleeping later these days.  She takes one nap a day, basically like clockwork, at 10:30. 
Talking:  The girl can talk!  She will basically repeat anything you tell her to say, if she's in the mood.  She'll say about 25-30 words in the correct context without having to be prompted.  Daddy is really trying to teach her War Eagle, and I am pushing for Love You, Momma.  It is a work in progress. 
Size:  I go in a couple of weeks for her 15 month check up, so I'll know her official stats then.  She is in size 3 diapers during the day, 4 at night.  She is in 9-12 month clothes. 
We love our angel so much! 

Check Up for Baby Burnette

Sweet baby #2 got a checkup today.  I am 15 weeks today and still feeling good.  The baby's HR was 157.  I haven't really been sick, and am finally getting over the fatigue of pregnancy!  Don't get me wrong, I love to sleep when Haisley sleeps, but I find that I can't sleep at night when I do that.  Not to mention that nothing gets done around the house when I sleep during naps.  This pregnancy is so different than with Haisley.  I worry a lot less!  I don't have time to worry because I am chasing another little one around.  The pregnancy is also flying by!  It seems like just yesterday I found out we were pregnant.  We go back in May for our big ultrasound!  We don't care what it is, just praying for a healthy baby!

Rolling Toomers

Saturday was the last rolling of the original Toomer's oak trees.  Although Haisley had never rolled Toomers, Mark and I remember rolling it for most of our lives.  We definately wanted to be a part of the last rolling.  It was remarkable to see so many people in one place.  Haisley loved it!  We walked to Samford lawn around one, even though the official rolling didn't begin until five.  I knew that we would never get pictures of Haisley with the tree if we waited.  I was right!  So glad we went early!  Here are some pictures of our day! 

 

Nana made her this adorable shirt!

Mommy, please stop taking pictures of me.

 

 

It was a hard day!  Baby girl napped the whole way home!



Haisley's First Wedding!

This weekend was the first wedding that Haisley attended.  She had a ball, and looked like a princess!  Her two favorite parts were the cake and the dancing!  Luckily, Nana and Granddaddy thought to bring their camera.  We had to drag the girl off the dance floor!

 

We've Got News!

 

 

Sweet Haisley is going to be a big sister, as indicated by the TWO pregnancy tests above!  I actually took about four total.  We had been trying for sweet baby #2 for several months now, and were thrilled when we got the + sign!  Telling people that we were pregnant the second time was very interesting.  Most people said "Wow" and "Was it planned?"  Yes it was!  The second question was, "So how far apart will the babies be?"  20 Months!  We couldn't be more excited! 

I had my 3rd doctor's appointment today and everything went great!  We found out we were pregnant February 5.  Our first appointment was just the basic blood work stuff.  The second one we got to have an ultrasound and our sweet baby measured perfectly!  The heart rate was 172!  At today's appointment, they had a difficult time finding the heartbeat with the doppler, so I got another ultrasound!  LOVED IT!  That little heart was beating so perfectly, 160 bpm!  I go back in 3 weeks!

 

This pregnancy is so different than my pregnancy with Haisley.  I have only gotten sick a few times, and have only been a little nauseated.  I feel completely different than I did with Haisley.  I feel sure it is a boy, but feel so blessed with whatever God gives us.  As my friend Ashley says, we are so blessed that God knows our family better than we do and knows exactly if we should have a boy or girl!  We have already enjoyed praying for this sweet new addition!
