Making room for two

2 Replies

So here’s what I’ve been VERY slowly up to with Jon’s help. We rearranged the nursery for two little ones. The before pictures are from a few weeks before Kaylee was born. We added more stuff like crib bedding and some pink and purple touches. For the kids sharing the room I gave each their own window shelf. And added a twin size bed for little miss. The crib is all ready for Regan. I’ve got his blankies all washed and ready for his use. Kaylee’s bed is very special. I made the quilt, the bed and box spring are borrowed from Grandma and Grandpa, all her sheets are from Yaya (2 sets, 1 is my old strawberry short cake set!), and of course her blankies from Great Grandma Sapp and Angie. She loves her big girl bed so very much. I love just how special it is all full of love.



Regan James’ 30 week 2 day ultrasound

We had a really good ultrasound today. We decided to leave Kaylee at the boy’s office with Uncle Jake as she did not do well at the last ultasound. She was so sad crying at the door while we drove away. Jon and I felt really bad. Jake said as soon as she couldn’t see us anymore and he called her name she was fine. The skittles helped. 🙂 She had lots of fun with Jake helping him work. We are so happy she has decided to like her Uncle Jake. The girls in the O.B.’s office were very happy to see Jon as they were having an issue with their copy machine. (Jon & Jake are their IT guys) A women in the waiting room got a weird look on her face as I sat down and Jon headed in to the office to see if the girls needed help with anything. Haha. It made me laugh. He got the machine all fixed just in time for us to hed back to the ultrasound room. Regan looks great! Very healthy and we think cute. I think he looks like Jon. The tech said he’s got lots of hair and is just over 3 lbs. I’m really hoping to have a little redhead. His femur measured 29 weeks. We are not too worried as it seems I make smallish babies. It’s always so fun and reassuring to see the little heart, lungs, and other organs working properly. We are getting so excited to meet Regan. I am very slowly getting things ready for him. I love watching his drawers fill up (courtesy of Cole). In other news Kaylee is 18 months old today! She is growing up so fast. Last night we put the box spring under her mattress and got her rail all set up. She will get the frame in a month or so. Those extra few inches of height from the box spring seems like a lot to me, but she loves it. She has her appointment scheduled for the middle of next month. We are hoping she’s getting closer to 20 lbs. Enjoy the photos!

He’s a little bit cute with his big ol’ Jon nose. 🙂

My little miss is awesome!

I have to sit for a bit while the side affects of my meds wear off. So I thought I’d jot down my interesting morning with little miss. She didn’t go to sleep until 10:30 due to a late and long nap. So of course I was looking forward to sleeping in. I took one ear plug out after Jon kissed me goodbye this morning so I would be able to hear Kaylee when she woke. Well I never herd her! I finally rolled over and pulled out the other plug at 10:30 this morning. I was thinking man she’s sleeping long… Then I hear this strange noise coming from Jon’s side of the bed. I crawled over to see if it was Kaylee. She was trying to climb up into bed with me! She got all excited when she saw me and said, “up peas Mom.” (up please mom) So I pulled her up into bed with me. She smelt like popcorn and pee. I asked her if she had been eating popcorn and she said, “yesh.” Then I asked if she needed a new diaper and again she said, “yesh.” So we got out of bed and went to changer her very full pee diaper. She was all happy and excited. She is NOT a morning person so I found this delightfully odd. Well she had not only finished off the very little bit of popcorn left from movie night, but she had also dished herself out some Cheez-it’s that had been left on the coffee table. I have no idea how long she’s been awake. Her toys and books were all over, and she had fed herself breakfast! Not a great breakfast, but it was what she had access to courtesy of her Daddy leaving stuff out and in her reach. 🙂 She only came and got me when she needed a new diaper. So I had a bit of cleaning to do this morning as there was popcorn and crackers everywhere. My sweet baby is (and has always been) so independent she loves doing things by herself. So she had a healthier second breakfast with me at quarter to 11 of egg free wheat pancakes, banana, and milk. Our days schedule is completely off, but Kaylee has been delightful and I’m sure enjoying her adorable cuteness. Also she started to put herself to bed this week. We do our scripture and payer. She gives us hugs and kisses, gathers her Lamby and blankie, and then just walks to her room and climbs in bed. I was shocked and excited the first time, and Jon said lets see if she keeps doing it. Well it’s been five nights in a row!!! We are officially excited! She’s starting to do the same for naps! This will be so helpful when Regan arrives. Anyway we’ve had a great morning (I love sleeping in), and so far it looks like a great day with little miss. Hope everyone else is having an awesome day.
