Update on the babies

Ok, so here is a little update on everything going on these days...

Marissa officially has 3 teeth now and one more about to break through. It is amazing how in less then 2 months, she can go from no teeth...to almost 4. Also, she can now play peek-a-boo with a blanket, we realized this while in the emergency room one night.

As for the pregnancy, it has already been quite an adventure, with pains and emergency room trips, but it seems, that my body is finally ready to carry this special miracle from God. But the first time the heartbeat was measured, it was 136bpm and last time it was 156bpm. They havem't really given me an official due date, but I believe it will be the end of March between the 19th and the 29th.

Well for now, that is the only updates, but I am hoping to post some new pictures this week.

A baby is growing...

So as all of you know, we are expecting our second little miracle. We got our little positive July 17th, and could not be happier.

Also, as some of you may know, this pregnancy has already been an adventure. We have had some bad parts already, but our little peanut is growing strong. On the 7th around 4am, mommy was able to see the little boy/girl. His/her heartbeat was at 136bpm and he/she looked like a little baby blob...of pure angel dust.

So, I decided with the baby growing...and me GROWING too...that I would share a picture with you of my growing belly...yes...growing already.

(oh and my favorite craving is glazed donuts...mmmm...yummy)

Finally some new pictures

Ok, so I finally have some time to upload some pictures...so here they are.

Most of them are from the PA trip, which includes the Schooner ride, Annapolis, Philly Zoo, and The Painted Plate.

Sorry no Photos...but new baby coming

I am sorry that I haven't posted any new pictures recently...but as all of you may know...its because we are in PENNSYLVANIA.

However, we are leaving Monday so I should be able to post some within a week. I also wanted to post all Marissa's fun adventures and new talents.

So as you may know, we made a trip to Annapolis, which was a lot of fun. There we found out we are having another baby and Marissa will be a big sister...YAY. Marissa was able to tour the town by walking and went on her first sailboat ride...it was really neat to see her watching the waves and wearing her little lifevest.

Then, we came back to Downingtown...where we went to West Chester and painted ceramics with Marissa at Painted Plate. This was a great experience that we are going to make a tradition, Marissa definately enjoyed getting her hands painted.

Also as some of you may know, we are also taking her to Knoebels tomorrow and I will post details about this when we get a chance.

Now as for Marissa's development...she is now walking along the furniture and getting into everything she can. She has also learned to say dog...or in her own words "dig." Now, we have decided to teach her where the baby is, and one morning, she did it...she rubbed mommy's belly and said "baybaybay," it was the cutest thing ever. (SHE CAN NOW SAY MAMAMA)

Well that is all the new parts for now...but I will update you more when we return home.

Update...Marissa has her first little tooth.

Hello everyone, so in case some of you may not know...Marissa finally has her first little tooth. I noticed, Saturday, that she has a tooth coming in on the bottom and its about a fourth of the way through...plua she has another one about to break right next to it.

As for other updates, Marissa is doing so great lately. She is crawling all over the place and pulling to stand on everything. She is now drinking milk, juice and water....and completely on table food.

Also, Marissa can now kick her feet in the water if you ask her too. We took her to the pool yesterday and everytime we asked her to kick her feet, she would get really excited and kick all over the place.

Well, there are about the only updates at the moment....but you can all see it for yourself tomorrow...Thats right tomorrow we will be in town.

Happy Fourth of July Everyone

So I wanted to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July and tell you about the first half of our day.

First we woke up around 7am and we were off to the beach with Aunty Stephanie by 9:30am. It was so much fun and Marissa loved to eat all the sand.

Then we came home and took pictures to show our love for this great Country. We decided to share them with you...(more to come tomorrow)

Marissa'1 Florida Bday Party

So today, was Marissa's birthday party in Florida.

It was so much fun, and definately a great day. It started with some friends showing up, then we had pizza, then cake, and ended with a dip in the pool.

Marissa definately loved having her pizza and her little cake...even though mommy wouldn't give her as much as she wanted.

But here are the pictures from this special moment.
