I can't even begin to explain how happy my girls make me. They are just perfect, even though i'm biased. Gwyneth has this ablity to make my heart melt. She can saw the sweetest cutest things. She can also say the meanest things, haha. She just loves her mommy so much. I do love snuggling up with her and thats why it is so easy for her to persuade me to allow her to stay up late and watch TV with me or sleep with me in bed.
Grayce has always been litte Miss independent. She wants to eat, sleep, play, bath, everything by herself. It drives me CRAZY. She's also a HUGE daddy's girl. I will beg her for a kiss all day making the kissy noise and she says no and when i try to steal them she pushes my face away. However, as soon as DADA walks into the house she's laughing, smiling, running up to him and sure enough she initates a kiss with him by making the kissy sound and puckering up.
Matt, boy do we have are days but he is the love of my life. I couldn't have picked a better man to be a provider, father and lover. Kids add a whole new level of stress onto a marrige. Then add to that school, work, academy, bills...ect. It's tough but we are handling it and i'm proud of him in everything that he does. Expect his stupid jokes (haha) that still make me laugh. There is nothing greater than watching him play with Gwyneth and Grayce and the way they light up at him.
I love my Family and my Life and I thank the Lord everyday for the blessings he has given me and continues to put into my life. Whether i see them as a blessing at the time or not that's his way of proving me patients, understanding, loss of anger and jealousy the things I need to be closer to him.

FINALLY i'm adding some updates
School started back today!! I'm very excited. I ran errands today and got some homework done. However, from now on I will be on campus at noon on Mondays and Thursdays to study and do homework. Then for a run ( I will be running the Shamrock Scurry at KUMC in the 5K in March) around campus and the gym. Then a light healthy snack before class at 6pm. I really enjoy the girls in my class and my teachers, Abrams and Berryman, however, they prefer to be called...Chad and Jon. I'm enjoying the EMT program at TCC very much. I've already been termed the Class Over Acheiver since I introduced myself in the class discussion board like asked and read the chapters after only knowing about all the assignments this morning when blackboard finally opened up. I also have 30 skills signed off in my book and we only needed 20 signed off from first sememster. (30 skills are due in March so i guess i'm ahead huh?) Mac Kemp was an awesome teacher last semester and i'm only hoping this semester will be just as promising with an A outcome, a pass on the state EMT exam, acceptance into the Paramedic Program and a job with Leon County or TMH as an Emergency Medical Technician.
Matt is anxiously awaiting a call back from a law enforcement agency after his graduation in December. Most agencies said they are not hiring till spring or summer. I hope it happens soon!! I'm still a little jealous, there's always been a part of me that's wanted to be a kick butt dective, haha. If i pass and become a Paramedic next year, maybe one day I'll go to police academy and one day work as a SWAT MEDIC!!!! How amazing would that be? Gary would be proud. I'm also thinking in 4 years (before i'm 30) i'll join the Army or Army reserves and be a medic/mp and hopefully have them put me through nursing school or grad school for a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (my final dream job, if you can keep track...they are Dectecitve, Psychologist, and Paramedic/Nurse or even DR, haha) If you don't have dreams you have nothing.
Wow, talk about all over the place in my blogging today...that's what happens when it's been so long since my last post. Anyhow...
Gwyneth is getting so big. I swear he looks like she is 6. Talks and acts like shes 16 though. She loves school and her teachers, Mrs. Mathes and Mrs. Tishler. It also helps that her "best friend" Aria is in her class. With mommy's help she knows my phone number, how to write her name almost perfectly, can count to 20 perfectly, knows and recognizes all her alphabet. We are now working on letter sounds, she knows most of them but we are getting there and on work recognition.
She loves gymnastics (except when she's sick) she also wants to do cheerleading. I'm thinking of putting her in Irish dancing with Aria next year maybe. Ballet was to slow for her and she wanted to dance by herself in the mirror, haha. She loves to play blocks and dolls with Grayce, Arts and crafts and games with me. She likes watch tv and play tag with daddy.
She has gotten in more trouble in the month of December than her whole 3 years of life. She seems to be getting more polite, mannered, nicer, and more helpful cleaning the house and taking care of Grayce. She sure does lover her Mommy though and that is the greatest feeling in the world.
Grayce is also as outspoken and spirited as Gwyn. She REFUSES to drink milk even if flavored, pedisure or Breakfast essentials. She spits it all over herself when she realizes it is milk and not juice, throws it on the floor and the throws herself on the floor in a tantrum. She is also a very picky eater and would rather snack all day than eat real food that's good for her. The doctor is doing another weigh in next monday and if shes hasn't gained anything in the last two weeks she's running lab work on her. I pray that all is well and she will eat and drink better for us. She loves her bunny if you haven't seen in all my pictures. She needs that and her thumb to fall asleep. She is daddy and Scotts girl, i can only imagine how much her and Gary would have loved one another.
She can count to three (i wonder if its from me counting to 3 for Gwyn getting in trouble or from 1.2.3 wee and go backwards while i'm holding her) ookie "cookie", tank u "thank you", peez "please", eeze "cheese" (i take alot of pictures), guineth like guiness but with an eth "gwyneth", ott "scott, dada, mama, nana, gama "grandma", papa, dede (what gwyn nicknamed matts dad), uce "juice", bite bite, mmm, chip "chipper and chips", abba "abby", night night (she even grabs her bunny, tells me night night, sucks her thumb and goes to her room, climbs in bed and falls asleep all by herself) poopoo, ath "bath", ouch, see ya, see ya later, makes animal sounds for dog, cat, horse, zebra, monkey, lion, tiger, duck, chicken, rooster and donkey. She also makes snoring sounds to mock dede and daddy and a very realistic monster sound, haha. Blows kisses great!!
We are starting on potty training. I'm not full out training her yet until she's a little older and i'm used to our spring schedule. We go somedays with out wearing diapers. I love it when she pees on herself and looks at it on the floor, then looks at her pee pee. Freezes and still baffeled and touches the wet on her legs and peepee and then looks at the pee on the floor again. I then tell her go peepee on the potty and she runs to it and sits down on it (obviously, there is nothing left to pee but i'm trying to pavlov train her to learn what the URGE to pee feels like and where to go when you feel that urge.
Ugghh...okay i'm getting tired i'll have to write about Chrismas and other things tomorrow, i'm officially tired.

My final post for 2009
It's New Years Eve and we're all doing great. Gwyneth LOVED Christmas. She's still singing "Happy Birthday to Jesus and Gary" anytime she thinks of Jesus she also thinks of Gary. She's doing an amazing job at praying. She loves to name a list of people to protect. I LOVE IT. We have been attending Killearn United Methodist Church and we LOVE it. I love the contemporary service the most, however getting there at 9:30 seems to be impossible except that one morning that i went into labor (that's the last time i've been that early, haha) we ususally go to the traditional 11am service. This past service was a "sunday school sit in" since they didn't have sunday school that morning she was with me in service ( I now know how mom felt with Gary and I in the church pews!!) They had a christening/baptism of a baby and little boy that morning and I told her "look Gwyn they are getting baptised like you and Grayce did in VA with Granny and Grandpa." She looks at me said and says "momma i can do it again? Is it my turn now? I want water on my head again" She even said it loud enough that others heard her. She is such an amazing dancer in church and at home. She closes her eyes and "feels" it. She rocks and moves her hands according to the tempo. She also "shake my booty like Gary does" in the car alot. I love it and it always makes me happy. I have been crying a lot over Gary this past year, some sad tears, however, mostly happy tears. Gwyn just looks at me know and says "you sad momma? you miss Gary?" I say "yes baby very much, wanna blow him kisses?" and we do.
Gwyneth LOVES LOVES LOVES gymnastics. I couldn't be more happy. She's really good at it as well. We've only been there one month and she is amazing on the bar! I love watching her. She's also made a few friends in the class, Aria, Payton and Nyla. She always says "time to go to gymnastics and play with all my friends." She had her 3rd birthday party at Zoinks and Aria and Nyla came. They were jumping in the jump houses, playing arcade games and winning tickets. Nana made her a Minnie Mouse cake and I made her Ice Cream Cupcake Cones. She got a coach purse from Aunt Kelsey, strawberry shortcake doll from Nicole and Joe, a guitar from Dede, Real looking Kitty--ect-from Nana, money-doll-ect from gramma and a ton of Minnie stuff from mommy and daddy. A week later she was in Gymnastics competition and won a medal (they all did) and the following week was Aria's Birthday Party. They went to Two Bit's Farm and had so much fun. Gwyn loves horses now, it's adorable. She rode Tater, and feed him some Goldfish and he loved them. He "neighed" at her and she said "aww momma he's saying thank you for his goldfish" i laughed at her. They got to paint Tater, do a scavenger hunt (gwyn was running in her "cowboy girl boots and hat" and got cut off by some of the kids and belly flopped on the ground. She was fine but it scared her. They had a cookie cake and Gwyn loved it!
I'm going to try and put her in preschool at Killearn over the summer and if not in Aug for sure if they have openings. Aria attends that preschool as well so i'm really excited about that!! She's ready...always walking around with her backpack on saying "it's time for school momma. "
Grayce is sprouting up like a weed. Her and Gwyn do look similar in their baby pictures. Other than the fact that Gwyn had more hair and a bigger forehead. Grayce looks like a great mixture of mine and Gary's baby picturses. She is always smiling and laughing. She loves to watch and listen to Gwyn (laughing and smiling at her) Gwyn loves the attention from her. She of course LOVES me and is always touching my face with her hand and smiling (i melt every time.) She's a full on thumb sucker now and it's not stopping. It is so sweet though. She's drooling alot, so i'm assuming she's teething. She LOVES to nurse. She almost always refuses a bottle of formula. She'll be starving and still spit the formula out, waiting on me to give her that yummy sweet breast milk, haha. It's going to be hard to stop nursing her since she loves it so much, however, between school and work it's going to slow down alot and so i might as well wean her from it then.
She had found her toes and loves to play with them. She turns into this little rolly polly when she grabs them both. She is really great at stitting up with very little support, rolling over easily from her stomach to her back and from her back to her sides. She is just like Gwyn in not liking belly time. This little girl LOVES to watch football. She cried one day when matt and scott were watching a game and changed it to a non football channel. They changed it back and she stopped. She also cries if a Gator game is on and you turn it (Scott almost cried, however, we believe she just likes the color blue and that's all, haha =) She LOVES bath time, especially when it's with Gwyneth and watching bubbles. She'll just watch them float around and try to grab them and cackle at them.
Matt and I are doing great. Can't wait for our little vacation in Feb to St.Aug and Orlando to see Bob Saget's comedy show. We are staying busy with the girls and work. In a few weeks we are braving the task of tiling the living room and hallway. A few months later we want to put cork flooring in the bedrooms. I'm SOOOO tired of dog pee all over the carpet. I steam clean it every day and it still stinks. So problem solved. We are trying to pick the ceramic pattern that we like next week and they are measuring our sq footage on monday morning. I'm hoping to talk matt into a greenish brown tile on the darker side. We also want to put glass tiles around the fire place and i'm very excited to pick those colors out. I'm thinking a red/green/brown tint to tie everything together. Our next move is to add a two car garage on to the house but we need permits for that so we'll wait till next year most likely. Then it's on to the bathrooms (i'm trying to talk matt into expanding our bathroom and bedroom wall so we can make it a real master bathroom and have a bigger room (my hideout). The swing set that matt has put together is so beautiful. I'm very proud of him. Him and Jackie put it together in two days. He later framed it and put in a sandbox and rubber mulch. It's still not finished but it's close, plus we need a lot more mulch to finish it and probally more sand since gwyn loves to "build" cakes on her picnic table and and sand castles on the slide and then go down the slide and "knock it over"

Grayce's birth was an eventful one for us to say the least. Saturday night 8/22/09 I had some brownish discharge and was expecting to have "the baby" in a few days. That morning around 5 i had a little pressure down in my cervix and assumed that it was just softening a little. I was only 50% effaced and 2cm dilated at my dr.visit a week ago. So i ran a bath and soaked in it for a little while. I was going to try out a new church down the street for the 9:30 service so i had to wake up early anyway. So it started to cramp about every half hour and so i took a tylenol.
I drove to church with the cramping getting a little closer together. I was still sure that it was only softening and that it wasn't a contraction because it didn't really hurt. I got to the church around 9:15 and was looking around. I went to the bathroom and noticed the bloody show. I wasn't thinking anything about it but I called mom and told her that I may have the baby tonight or tomorrow. She told me that Nick came out right after her bloody show.
Church started at 9:30 and the "cramping" got closer together. 5-7min apart and it didn't really hurt it seemed to hurt a little bit more. So I was standing and sitting and singing along with the church. Right before the pastor started his sermon i walked out. I'm sure they were all wondering why the new pregnant lady left right when the sermon started (she hates sermons, doesn't like our chuch, ect) I started to time the cramping accuratly because this had to be contractions (genius that i am finally figured it out.) They were 3-4 min apart. So I drove home and told Matt to wake up and take a shower i think i need to go to the hospital. He layed there and wouldn't get up. I finally YELLED at him to move it, let's go. While he took a forever long shower i was waking Gwyneth up and getting her ready. Then it came time to get the bags in the car and drive to the hospital and he had the NERVE to smoke a ciggerate. I YELLED at him again to move it lets go it's starting to hurt.
As we were driving there he was going under the speed limit, then to fast, ect. I yelled at him evertime i had a contraction which finally felt like a contraction. I wasn't to painful but it wasn't very comfortable either. They were about 2-3min apart now. It took us 20-30 min to get to the hospital and walk up to triage.
Matt dropped me off and i told him to go get Gwyn something to eat and come back after because it took forever to get a room last time when Gwyn was born. I was at the desk telling them i PreRegistered and they didn't have it. So I was having to fill out a form in the middle of contractions, haha. I just couldn't sit down. I had to stand up and walk around. Gwyn and Matt walked out the elevator ..Gwyneth wanted her mommy. Thank Goodness. Finally after about 15-20 min of waiting I asked the lady if i could go back to triage now because it was really starting to hurt now.
In triage they ask me to fill up a cup with pee and undress into the gown. I tried to pee and couldn't, blood was the only thing coming out. So I go and lay down and they hook up the monitor for contractions to me and she says that the nurse will be in in a min to check my cervix. 30 sec later i have a contraction and TELL matt that he needs to go get a nurse NOW i feel like i have to push. He went and told someone and the nurse comes to check my cervix and asks me if I have a hard to reach cervix because she couldn't feel it and then after painfully pushing around there 3 more times says " that feels like your sac" Let's get you a room your 9 1/2 cm. They are pushing me down the hall as i'm having contractions. I get to our room and they are getting the bed layed down and all the tools out. I keep having contractions and it's really hard now to NOT push. I tell them that and they say just breath it out the DR is on his way. So I finally get in the bed and they get the IV in and the DR comes in RIGHT after a contractions. So i have to wait another min for the next one...he says are you ready to push and i'm like yeah 10 min ago!!
Poor Gwyneth was in the delivery room the entire time worried about me. We didn't have enough time to get a babysitter over to watch her...(Joe was in the parking lot right after the baby was born) 4 pushes and 1 little scream/cry out later Grayce came out. They layed her on my stomach and she didnt cry right away. I remember asking them "is she okay?" and 2 sec later she cries. I was so happy and excited. Gwyneth was making sure I was okay and then she was looking in awe at her baby sister. She weighed 8lbs 7 oz, 20.3 in long and 14cm head and chest.
Gwyneth looked at her and said "she's dirty." All we could do was laugh at her. I don't know if she truly understood that this is her sister and they will have to share mommy and daddy now. Gwyn and Matt went to get food and "baby" at as well. She was great at latching on just like her big sister. Grandmothers got there and her uncles and they were all over her. She had the baby acne bumps all over her, no jaundice though.
After everyone left we finally had alone time and decided on her name...Grayce. Gabriella and Abigail just didn't seem to fit after she was born the day before Gary's Birthday. I know God and Gary planned it that way so I would have something to hold and love on the day that all i want to do is cry and miss him. I didn't cry as much as I would have without her in my arms. She reminds me of Gary so much.
Joe, Nicole Watkins, Scott Currey and Amanda Wade were her in hospital visitors. Barbara was her first home visitor. Other than Grandma, Mike, Nick and Nana of course!!
She's breasfeeding very well now. She LOVES it. I try to give her formula and she spits it out. She will let daddy feed her formula when she's starving. However if mommy's holding her she waits me out and cries for the "booby milk" That's what we call it and Gwyn. haha.
When Grayce cries she says "momma feed her booby milk she wants it" and the other day she was playing with her baby doll in the stroller and i was feeding Grayce and she brings me "jackie" and says "feed her booby milk momma" so I was feeding Grayce on one boob and her doll on the other. I just laughed.
9/23/09
One month old now!!
We had a little trouble with her umbilical cord. It was lolng to fall off and at 3 weeks still wasn't off. One day it "popped" and i could get under it and it REEKED. It wasn't infected but it smelled horrible. I could lay her down in front of me and still smell it. So I took her to the doctor (whom i love. Dr. Keopple at North Florida Pediatrics) She cut it off cause it was just dangling by a "thread" then she used silver nitrate to freeze off the granuloma that was there from not drying up the way it should have. Gwyneth was so worried for her baby sister and the doctor "cutting her belly button off."
Gwyneth is GREAT with Grayce. She helps me grab her pacy, blankets, diapers and so forth. She's great at feeding her bottles and burbing her. She loves for me to lay Grayce on her arm so they can watch cartoons and go to sleep together. She does however, try to force the pacy in her mouth sometimes when she's crying really loud, haha (she won't be quiet mommy) and tries to open or close her eyes (which ever mood she's in) other then that she's perfect with her.
Grayce is spoiled rotten now. She has to be held constantly. She's also very gasey but not colic, mylicon is our new best friend. She's very attentive and loves to look around and follow people and things. She also has superman hearing...any noise out of the ordaniary and she flinches, however, if it's the guys or gwyn screaming she's fine, haha. She still has baby acne but it seems to be getting better.
She has found her tounge and voice. She loves to stick that tounge out and plays with it. Gwyn tattle tells on her already when she sticks her tounge out. She coo's and ahh's and smiles at us, especially at Gwyn and her pooh mobile. Shes great at getting her fist, thumb and fingers in her mouth and isn't a huge fan of pacy's but i'm going to try my hardest to not have a thumb stucker.
She now weights 11lbs and is growing fast!! With her head full of hair (hairy ears, back and arms, haha) She has big blue eyes still and they will most likely stay that way. Wonder if they will be blue like mine and Gwyn's or blue-greenish like matt's.

Grayce's birth was an eventful one for us to say the least. Saturday night 8/22/09 I had some brownish discharge and was expecting to have "the baby" in a few days. That morning around 5 i had a little pressure down in my cervix and assumed that it was just softening a little. I was only 50% effaced and 2cm dilated at my dr.visit a week ago. So i ran a bath and soaked in it for a little while. I was going to try out a new church down the street for the 9:30 service so i had to wake up early anyway. So it started to cramp about every half hour and so i took a tylenol.
I drove to church with the cramping getting a little closer together. I was still sure that it was only softening and that it wasn't a contraction because it didn't really hurt. I got to the church around 9:15 and was looking around. I went to the bathroom and noticed the bloody show. I wasn't thinking anything about it but I called mom and told her that I may have the baby tonight or tomorrow. She told me that Nick came out right after her bloody show.
Church started at 9:30 and the "cramping" got closer together. 5-7min apart and it didn't really hurt it seemed to hurt a little bit more. So I was standing and sitting and singing along with the church. Right before the pastor started his sermon i walked out. I'm sure they were all wondering why the new pregnant lady left right when the sermon started (she hates sermons, doesn't like our chuch, ect) I started to time the cramping accuratly because this had to be contractions (genius that i am finally figured it out.) They were 3-4 min apart. So I drove home and told Matt to wake up and take a shower i think i need to go to the hospital. He layed there and wouldn't get up. I finally YELLED at him to move it, let's go. While he took a forever long shower i was waking Gwyneth up and getting her ready. Then it came time to get the bags in the car and drive to the hospital and he had the NERVE to smoke a ciggerate. I YELLED at him again to move it lets go it's starting to hurt.
As we were driving there he was going under the speed limit, then to fast, ect. I yelled at him evertime i had a contraction which finally felt like a contraction. I wasn't to painful but it wasn't very comfortable either. They were about 2-3min apart now. It took us 20-30 min to get to the hospital and walk up to triage.
Matt dropped me off and i told him to go get Gwyn something to eat and come back after because it took forever to get a room last time when Gwyn was born. I was at the desk telling them i PreRegistered and they didn't have it. So I was having to fill out a form in the middle of contractions, haha. I just couldn't sit down. I had to stand up and walk around. Gwyn and Matt walked out the elevator ..Gwyneth wanted her mommy. Thank Goodness. Finally after about 15-20 min of waiting I asked the lady if i could go back to triage now because it was really starting to hurt now.
In triage they ask me to fill up a cup with pee and undress into the gown. I tried to pee and couldn't, blood was the only thing coming out. So I go and lay down and they hook up the monitor for contractions to me and she says that the nurse will be in in a min to check my cervix. 30 sec later i have a contraction and TELL matt that he needs to go get a nurse NOW i feel like i have to push. He went and told someone and the nurse comes to check my cervix and asks me if I have a hard to reach cervix because she couldn't feel it and then after painfully pushing around there 3 more times says " that feels like your sac" Let's get you a room your 9 1/2 cm. They are pushing me down the hall as i'm having contractions. I get to our room and they are getting the bed layed down and all the tools out. I keep having contractions and it's really hard now to NOT push. I tell them that and they say just breath it out the DR is on his way. So I finally get in the bed and they get the IV in and the DR comes in RIGHT after a contractions. So i have to wait another min for the next one...he says are you ready to push and i'm like yeah 10 min ago!!
Poor Gwyneth was in the delivery room the entire time worried about me. We didn't have enough time to get a babysitter over to watch her...(Joe was in the parking lot right after the baby was born) 4 pushes and 1 little scream/cry out later Grayce came out. They layed her on my stomach and she didnt cry right away. I remember asking them "is she okay?" and 2 sec later she cries. I was so happy and excited. Gwyneth was making sure I was okay and then she was looking in awe at her baby sister. She weighed 8lbs 7 oz, 20.3 in long and 14cm head and chest.
Gwyneth looked at her and said "she's dirty." All we could do was laugh at her. I don't know if she truly understood that this is her sister and they will have to share mommy and daddy now. Gwyn and Matt went to get food and "baby" at as well. She was great at latching on just like her big sister. Grandmothers got there and her uncles and they were all over her. She had the baby acne bumps all over her, no jaundice though.
After everyone left we finally had alone time and decided on her name...Grayce. Gabriella and Abigail just didn't seem to fit after she was born the day before Gary's Birthday. I know God and Gary planned it that way so I would have something to hold and love on the day that all i want to do is cry and miss him. I didn't cry as much as I would have without her in my arms. She reminds me of Gary so much.
Joe, Nicole Watkins, Scott Currey and Amanda Wade were her in hospital visitors. Barbara was her first home visitor. Other than Grandma, Mike, Nick and Nana of course!!
She's breasfeeding very well now. She LOVES it. I try to give her formula and she spits it out. She will let daddy feed her formula when she's starving. However if mommy's holding her she waits me out and cries for the "booby milk" That's what we call it and Gwyn. haha.
When Grayce cries she says "momma feed her booby milk she wants it" and the other day she was playing with her baby doll in the stroller and i was feeding Grayce and she brings me "jackie" and says "feed her booby milk momma" so I was feeding Grayce on one boob and her doll on the other. I just laughed.

One month old now!!
We had a little trouble with her umbilical cord. It was lolng to fall off and at 3 weeks still wasn't off. One day it "popped" and i could get under it and it REEKED. It wasn't infected but it smelled horrible. I could lay her down in front of me and still smell it. So I took her to the doctor (whom i love. Dr. Keopple at North Florida Pediatrics) She cut it off cause it was just dangling by a "thread" then she used silver nitrate to freeze off the granuloma that was there from not drying up the way it should have. Gwyneth was so worried for her baby sister and the doctor "cutting her belly button off."
Gwyneth is GREAT with Grayce. She helps me grab her pacy, blankets, diapers and so forth. She's great at feeding her bottles and burbing her. She loves for me to lay Grayce on her arm so they can watch cartoons and go to sleep together. She does however, try to force the pacy in her mouth sometimes when she's crying really loud, haha (she won't be quiet mommy) and tries to open or close her eyes (which ever mood she's in) other then that she's perfect with her.
Grayce is spoiled rotten now. She has to be held constantly. She's also very gasey but not colic, mylicon is our new best friend. She's very attentive and loves to look around and follow people and things. She also has superman hearing...any noise out of the ordaniary and she flinches, however, if it's the guys or gwyn screaming she's fine, haha. She still has baby acne but it seems to be getting better.
She has found her tounge and voice. She loves to stick that tounge out and plays with it. Gwyn tattle tells on her already when she sticks her tounge out. She coo's and ahh's and smiles at us, especially at Gwyn and her pooh mobile. Shes great at getting her fist, thumb and fingers in her mouth and isn't a huge fan of pacy's but i'm going to try my hardest to not have a thumb stucker.
She now weights 11lbs and is growing fast!! With her head full of hair (hairy ears, back and arms, haha) She has big blue eyes still and they will most likely stay that way. Wonder if they will be blue like mine and Gwyn's or blue-greenish like matt's.

paint and names
We have narrowed it down to the final two names. I guess we will wait to see which one it will be when I get to hold her and have a few more months to say them out loud to see which one I like better. I've decided against Matt's will that this daughter will have two middle names as well...like Gwyneth Kate Elizabeth Wagner. I don't want her to feel left out so, haha. That's my excuse to get away with it again.
Gabriella Kaylynn Grayce Wagner "Ella"
Abigail Kaylynn Grayce Wagner "Abbie"
I'm 7 months now and anxiously waiting her arrival. She is however a NIGHT OWL as of now. I hardly feel her till about 1 am and then she's nonstop till about 5am. So I wonder if that's how she will be when she comes out. Gwyneth still says she's not sharing her toys with her baby sister, haha. We'll see how that goes. I'm trying to pick out the colors to their rooms and the house, haha it's hard.
For Gwyneth it's either...Pink, orange and brown or pink, blue and brown
Baby 2 is either...Purple, green and brown or magenta (pinkish purple) green and brown.
I want our room a dark brown color but matt doesn't want it dark...maybe i'll sneak in with out him and do it myself.
Living room will be a tan and the office will be a green (don't know what shades yet) and the dining room is going to be the combo of the two. I have no idea about our bathroom, i will leave Gwyn's blue for now i guess till i can think of something.

It's a GIRL
We found out today that we are having another little girl. I can't wait...still going to think of some more girl names. Gwyneth and I picked out an outfit, socks and a pair of shoes today for our little baby. Of course the baby is up RIGHT NOW. She is such a night owl. Everynight at around 1am she wakes up and starts moving around.
We leave tomorrow for Jacksonville, Disney on Ice on Saturday and our Cruises on SUN and go figure my poor baby is SICK. She's thrown up the last three nights and had diarrahea the last two nights. She runs around, plays and feels fine in the morning and afternoon but every night she's sick. I'm taking her to the Doctor tomorrow before we leave (hopefully) and see what they say. I feel so bad. I hate seeing her sick. This is her second time being really sick. We might have to stay at home now and our at least Nana and Gwyneth might stay home (cause Nana purchesed the insurance for her and Gwyn's cruise). I'll feel bad if i leave while she's sick but of course Matt wouldn't buy INSURANCE for the cruise so if we miss it that's it (we're out the money) What is a MOMMY to do??
