From Easter to Mother's Day!

Wow! It has definitely been awhile since my last update! We have been busy and enjoying the warm weather. Kayla and I get out to parks as much as we can before the horrible heat of the summer hits and I am too miserable to be out in it being so pregnant! 

We found out month an a half ago that we are having another baby girl! Grace Annabell is her name and we could not be more excited! Kayla will get to have a sister! I'm thankful that we have most everything that we need. We have more girl toys than we know what to do with and I'm hoping I can make most of Kayla's old clothes work since they are only 2 months off on birthdays! I do however really want Grace to have her own bedding so I can decorate it like I did for Kayla. She will be getting hand me downs the rest of her life so I think new nursery bedding is the one thing she should get that will be her own! We are going with a really sweet Jungle set we found. It's pink and girly and has animals on it!

Easter was really quiet for us since Kyle had to work all weekend. He didn't exactly get a holiday so he came home from working the night before and slept most of the day until he had to leave for work again later. I did manage to drag him the day before to an Easter egg scramble at a nearby park so Kayla could "hunt" for Easter eggs. Really there were just hundreds of eggs thrown out on the field and the kids got to go scoop them up to put in their baskets. Still cute and Kayla got to meet the Easter bunny, which she was not really a fan of. Low key, but nice anyways!

We got to meet up with my best friend Kym and her beautiful family in Atlanta recently. We went to Zoo Atlanta and it was so great to see her! They are moving further away soon so that was our last chance to visit for over a year. So sad but I am so thankful that we have kept in touch since our days in San Diego and been able to watch each others families grow. We got to meet their new baby girl who is precious and Kayla loved playing with their son! It was a great day and I just cherish great friends like them.

In April, Kyle's dad and stepmom came for a short visit which was fun! Kayla got to spend time with them and they brought her some of Kyle's old legos from when he was a kid. They are now her new favorite thing to play with! Which of course, makes Kyle very proud! It was fun to spend time with them even though it was a short time. We went to the GA Aquarium with them and got to see the dolphin show, which Kayla loved! She definitely had fun with Grandpa and Grandma Elaine. 

We just got back from visiting family for Mother's Day weekend. Becky flew in last week for a few days then we drove up to visit Dad, Mom, Poppa and Aunt T as well. It was a lot of fun and as usual, too short a visit. Kayla loves seeing family and is at such a busy age so she keeps everyone moving and laughing! 

It was a really nice Mother's day and I still cannot believe I'll be a mom of 2 in such a short time! I am almost 21wks now and it's definitely nice to be on the back end of the pregnancy! Grace has been kicking and moving a lot more, which I love feeling! Even when I'm trying to sleep and she keeps me up, I can't help but smile! This is my favorite part of pregnancy. A little over 4 months until we get to meet our new little girl! 

Here are a bunch of pictures from the last couple of months. When we had our pregnancy announcement pictures done, it was actually during our family photo shoot, so here are all the rest of the pictures we got then. Plus some others! Hope everyone is well!
