baby #2 - bump update.
We are moving into week 36 - finally feels like we are almost there!
It also helps that the volleyball season has come to a close and Todd only has 3 days left of school. So excited for a full summer together as a family!
Quinn is ready for "baby sister to come over". :)
And we are ready with bags packed, gifts wrapped, cameras charged and everything washed and ready. Now we just wait and see what transpires over the next few weeks. We go in twice a week now, and I had some bloodwork/tests done today to see if my body is showing any signs of what it did last time. Fortunately, we are further along (as we went on bedrest with our little Quinny at 32 weeks - she was delivered at just shy of 37 weeks).
All in all, we are just grateful for every week this little one has stayed cozy and healthy, and we are anxious to meet her soon!

baby mini-update.
People love a good baby update, so here is a quick one!
We are now 33 weeks along. All is well and cruising along, although if it wants to cruise a little faster I would be okay with that. :) Overall, feeling pretty good. We are starting weekly appointments now, and ultrasounds and non-stress tests every appointment due to my history. Ultrasounds had been monthly up to this point. It's always fun to see our little girl either bouncing around or sleeping peacefully with big yawns to show us. In just a couple more weeks we will start going in twice a week to see her on the big screen for checks. Can't complain about getting to see her so often! :) Until she makes her big debut, which will be here before we know it.
Just like her big sister, she is breech and seems to be staying that way. Quinn was still flipping around pretty regularly all the way up till delivery. I am much more aware of how this little one is laying because of how I am carrying her (lower and more out front), and she has been pretty cozy in this position for a while. My babies are just more cozy in this breech position in my uterus apparently. We are planning on a repeat C-section, and with a breech position baby that is a must for safety anyway.
She is measuring approximately 4lbs. 12oz at this point and in the 64th%.
We are both healthy and things are progressing so all is well.
Getting excited to meet this little girl and announce her name!
All is ready for her here at home, just washed a whole kitchen counter's worth of bottles and breast pump supplies this week. The only thing left to do is pack a hospital bag.
-----------------------
In other news, we are coming off of four very busy weekends filled with house guests. The last two weeks we have had a wedding shower, a baby shower, a first communion, a trip to Wisconsin, mother's day, my parents, my sister and her family and my brother and his wife all in town for a visit at our home. In true Lisa 2014 fashion - I have zero pictures to show for any of it. Toting around my camera just hasn't happened during this pregnancy, and sometimes it's okay too because I do believe sometimes you need to just enjoy the moments instead of always being the one in charge of capturing them. I also still live in the peaceful old school technology world of no smart phones (so no camera phone) :). And the more I see everyone getting more and more attached to theirs, it just pushes me further away from getting one. all things simple and sweet.
We had a wonderful visit with everyone and are always grateful for family time. So excited for the arrival of our new little nephew next month too! and for Drew and Kristen's big move to their new home in Virginia (a new place to visit - new places totally excite this travel enthusiast!).
Volleyball season and the school year are wrapping up very soon and we are super excited to have Todd home so much more!!
Happy weekend everyone!

mommy & me.
Here is a look at our Mommy & Me pictures from this past weekend!
I am so glad that we did this. It was perfect timing, and I will always treasure these.
Our photographer, Jessie from Lil Snaps Photography did a beautiful job.

happy mama's day.
We just wanted to wish all the mamas a very special upcoming weekend with their loves.
Especially the mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers in our lives. We are so blessed.
Quinn and I did a special mommy&me photo session this past weekend.
It was perfect timing for just the two of us before another little girl joins us, yet with this bump and little one just weeks away and capturing us just in time for mother's day. :) Can't wait to share more with you.

Happy Mother's Day!

little buddies.
My girlfriends from High School are all still extremely close.
We have been on many traveling adventures together, added husbands and babies, and in truth we treat each other a little more like family than we do just as friends. :)
Love every single time we are able to get everyone together.
Quinn's little buddies with mommy's high school friends (minus the few that are already in school! and a couple more that are still baking and will join the group soon :)).
