Mother Natures Farm

Last night for Family Night we decided to go check out the Mother Natures Farm right by our house. It turned out to be a lot of fun! We practically had the place to ourselves and it was about 86 degrees outside, so it was perfect. Seth and Madi had the whole bounce house to themselves. Madi thought that was the coolest thing ever! She had never been on one before. I had a lot of fun watching the two of them play. They had a really fun hay stack maze for the kids and Madi loved that as well. It is always so fun doing something with your little one for the first time. I was surprised that she got the concept right away and she led the way through the maze. We made it through with only a few suggestions from Seth. As soon as we got to the end she turned around and said "Again!" so we let her walk through a bit by herself. There was a lot to do and we had such a fun night! I love Family Night!

Ultrasound

So today was the big day! And to Seths disappointment we are expecting another Girl! We both were taken by surprise. I really thought that it would be a boy this time. But, The Big Man upstairs had something else in mind. I have to admit that I was pretty disappointed at the news at first. But, after making a few phone calls to family and friends, I feel much better and I am excited for our new little girl! I think I just had convinced myself that it was a boy, so I just didn't know what to think when the ultrasound tech started to type the word GIRL on the screen. I wanted so badly for Seth to have a boy this time so he could be excited for the baby to come. Better luck next time, right? I know he will be so excited as soon as he sees her, just like he was when he saw Madi the first time. The ultrasound went great and she looks healthy! She was very co-operative and had her back facing up when we started the ultrasound and the tech was able to get a clear look at her brain and spine. Then she flipped over for us so that we could look at her limbs and her face. She already is a very good girl! I am so grateful for Madi, when I went to pick her up from my friends house after the ultrasound I was feeling pretty bummed, I told Madi that we were going to have a girl baby and she jumped up and down and said "yeah, girl baby!" I know that she has no idea what all of that really means but I was so glad that she was excited about it, and it helped me to smile. I think she will be grateful for a sister. Since I don't have any sisters, it will be fun for me to watch them together.
