Bethany's 3!!

Bethany turned 3 today!!!

We had a Pink Poodle Party with family and friends this afternoon. She has been anticipating this party for weeks. Her 2 requests were that it be pink and she have a chocolate cake. Well, her wish came true, she definately had a pink party. This girl is seriously all about the pink!! She had a lot of fun playing with her friends and cousin. We had a pinata, which was so funny I think most of the kids were "a swing and a miss" but we did get a couple hits in there. We had a little family party after the big shindig, just Mommy, Daddy and Brady. She was so crazy, I think a lot of it was the sugar. :) I posted some pics below:



Here's a little info on how Bethany has changed this past year.
She is very talktive and a lot more clear on what she is saying. She is a whiz at memorizing, it amazes us! We have this book, We call it the Goldbug book, but it has another title I can't remember right now. Anyway, Brady had gotten it when he was about Bethany's age. Well, the big thing is you have to find this itty bitty "goldbug" in the pages. She can turn to any page and know exactly where he is, it even takes us a few minutes to find him, but she is all over it!
She has recently learned to flip, so she does somersaults through the house now. She's a dancing machine. She makes up her own songs quite frequently. :) She loves to do her little 24 piece puzzles and will do them like 5 times in a row. She loves having her nails done, in pink of course.
She's just hilarious, she cracks us up everyday. She is so loving and gentle. She has changed so much this past year, it's amazing how fast time flies!

Side Note(10/3): Bethany has been potty trained for awhile now, but not "night time" potty trained. Well, we are now going on two whole dry nights! She decided she didn't want to wear pull-ups anymore. Wahoo!! Maybe now I'll get to spend a few months diaper free. :)

It's...

STILL A SURPRISE!!!

We went to have my 20 week ultrasound done last week. Baby #3 is very healthy, very active, and growing well. Yes, the sex of the baby is still a surprise. Actually, baby's legs were crossed so he/she wants it to be a surprise too, this baby gets it's parents already! :) The kids enjoyed seeing their new little baby on the screen. They thought it was pretty funny when it got the hiccups!

The one thing that we ask for prayer on is that the placenta is low, right now it is just considered low-lying to marginal previa. It is not covering the cervix yet, which is good and promising. We are hoping as my uterus stretches and grows the placenta will move itself up higher and we won't have any more risk. I would rather not have to have a c-section if possible. :) We will have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to see how things are progressing with it.

So other than the above little glich, I am doing well. Feeling better, just getting more round.

Here's a picture of baby #3:
