Since we have added a new addition to our family, I thought it fitting to have a new journal. That way I can post about both kids at the same place. I will keep this site open as an archive site, just won't be updating it.

The new web journal will have password protected posts. Email me if you would like the password (nicolev911@yahoo.com).

The new site is located at: vkids.blogsome.com

I finally finished Alie's room so I thought I would take pictures of it to show. The only thing I haven't finished are the curtains and a few little details. The room still looks cute to me even without those few little things. I put the pictures in the album in order so they are kind of like a 360. I included picture of the closets because I finally got them all super organized. Can you tell I've been nesting LOL?

Here's a picture of the Fish pants that I painted for Alie. You can't tell, but there is glitter sprayed on them to make it look more like water.


There are also several pictures of Alie. I haven't taken any good ones in a while, so I took a few close ups and such. Also included one of Alie resting her chin on my belly. YOu can see how lopsided the baby is. He has his rear end poking out the left side :D

Alie had her first ballet class today. Here is a picture of her in her dance outfit. She had so much fun, but because she's 3, her attention span was quite short.

Compare my 30 wk. belly with my new 32 wk. belly picture. I dont think I've grown. My shirt hangs down more so it kinda looks like I did. I think the 32 wk. picture is my favorite one of me so far.

Well to honor being 30 weeks, I thought I should take a belly picture. I wanted to take one for 28 weeks, but that week flew by too quickly. Added previous pictures for comparison. For some reason I always seem to be wearing pink and black when I take my pictures.

Alie... can you see the bandy (band-aid) on her forehead? Her cut is healed but she insists that she still wears one.

Yup, I think I've grown!

Remember that Green and blue Monster fabric I posted in a pic a while back? Well I FINALLY made the pants! I used a pattern that was supposed to make them 6 mo. size, but figured they would end up a bit big, like 12 mo. size. Turns out, the pattern runs really huge.. they ended up size 3t almost 4t!! They fit Alie a bit big so she could even wear them next year hahaa! I hemmed them up by rolling it and was able to save the length so if I ever need to take them out, I can. I made them flood pants for Alie, since it's a bit more girly.

I feel bad that the pants I made specifically for Baby Boy will end up being a hand me down. Alie loves the print on them, so I know she will wear them. I guess there is a plus side... I'll get more use out of them than just one kiddo. Pictures of Alie wearing the pants are posted after the cut. By the way, the wooden short wall behind Alie is the wall I was talking about in our front yard. It makes a great picture backdrop because it blocks out the street and cars :D

I'm also posting pictures of my belly at 26w1d. Including the picture of me at 22w0d. I think I have grown a bit.

I'm posting 6 pics all together, so sorry if it runs slow!

We had a great easter. Went to church but got there 30 minutes late, oops! It was my fault because I went to bed late and just couldn't wake up in the morning.

After church we went to my grandma's house for easter lunch and the egg hunt. The lunch was awesome!! My favorite holiday meal is my grandma's easter one.

After lunch was the easter egg hunt. Since the weather was pretty hot (got up to 88) all the mini candy bars that were sprinkled in the yard were all melted. Alie wouldn't pick them up because they squished out of their wrappers if you didn't grab them delicately. Then the eggs were starting to melt. Well, some of the dye on them was melting off. So all the kids ended up with rainbow colored hands. It was pretty humerous. I was dying of the heat so poor Alie only found 12 eggs while everyone else gathered 20+. I shouldn't have worn 2 shirts, well tank top and blouse.

Best thing of all, Alie stayed dry the whole day! I put a diaper on her because I was so afraid she would have an accident w/ all the excitement. Plus I didn't want to ruin her silk dress from Jack and Janie. To my amazement, she told me when she needed to go, depsite the diaper. Such a big girl!!

Here are the pictures I took:

Taken at home right before we walked out the door

She sat in this pose all by herself!

Quickly taken after church

Look, she built Clifford the Big Red Dog

The weather here has been crazy! It got to 91 degrees! Normally we dont hit the 90s until June. It is supposed to reach as high as 95 on Monday. Can we say GLOBAL WARMING??? It was hotter here today than Florida.

I finally cut Alie's hair. Kind of on a whim, but it was just getting too stringy and would tangle easily when wet. I'm not sure if I really like it, it'll take a bit to get used to it. She hasn't had this short of hair since she was 18 months old!

I also took a picture of the hairbows I made for my friends girls. The material that I am going to make Baby Boy's pants out of is in the pic as well. Pictures behind the cut :)

Oh I also wanted to mention, Alie wore her big girl panties all day today. Even when we went to walmart for 2 hours. She let me know when she had to go so got to experience going in a public restroom. So much fun trying to squeeze her and me w/ my big ol preggy belly in a stall. She stayed dry all day. No accidents since Monday!
