2 weeks to go

We have 2 weeks to go for baby #3. We are getting excited to meet the new little one, especially the girls. I have had contractions pretty regularly now, but not enough to go in. Last Thurs. I was 75% effaced and not quite 2 cm dilated...going in the right direction!!!!

Big girl bed

Macy has had many changes the last week, one of them sleeping in the toddler bed! Jesse got her going in it, and she has done great! The only bad thing is when she wakes up, she goes into Madison's room and wakes her up! She has gone over a week without her mi-mi (nuki), and she has her own room. What a good girl!

Gymnastics

Madison started

gymnastics last Weds.

She absolutely loves it!
Her favorite is the bars...she actually runs and jumps up on them all by herself!

Phone call

Macy loves the phone. She is constantly picking up play and real phones, and says, "A phone, yeah, um hum, yeah," etc. When you ask who she is talking to, she ALWAYS says bumpa, and then also talks to Nana. This happens at least once a day, so a couple weeks back, I finally got a little video of her. For some reason she says "sorry Bumpa" a couple of times...who knows what that is all about!

Good friends

While the daddies went to the Brewer/Cub game at Wrigley Field, the girls got together to hang out! The girls enjoyed the pool for awhile until lunch, and then thankfully went back in to wash up from the jello dessert! They are all so cute together and we can't imagine summer without Madelyn and Alayna!

July 4th

We had a great time at the Weiss family July 4th party with a bunch of friends. They always have such a wonderful turn out and the kids all play so nice together. Both girls made it to the fireworks! Maddie kept saying, "Look at the shooting star (over and over again)" and Macy kept saying, "Oh Wow, Cool!" The motorized vechicle was by far the favorite toy for our girls, I missed the picture of both of them together in the jeep. Madison also loved hula hooping! We finally bought her one, but I think it is a little too big because the one last night was smaller and she seemed to do much better. Enjoy the video, and we hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July!!!

New purple room

When we got back from Milwaukee, we were in the painting mood. Let's just call it, a bad case of nesting, for both Jesse and I. We decided to move our room downstairs (the old pansy room) and let Madison have our room. We painted the downstairs room first, then the kitchen, then her purple room, and the majority of the living room. All this starting on Monday and finishing yesterday (Sat.)! I'm just as shocked as everyone else that this baby hasn't come out with all the moving of furniture and painting, etc. Madison loves her new room and slept great last night for nap and bedtime, and again today. Macy kept calling for Maddie when she laid down for her nap, but eventually fell asleep (we also took away her nuk when it broke - lots of changes in one day)! We'll see how they both do. The next time people come to visit, they will be amazed at the difference of all the painting. We still have to finish one wall of the living room (we need to move the fish tank first) and paint the upstairs stairway and hallway. Hopefully before baby comes? We'll see!
