it's all about survival, right?

I mean sure, we all have the best of intentions, right? I mean, I had intended to have some adorable way to announce that T will be a big sister come December. And, I had all the intentions of taking them out for a photoshoot to help commemorate this wonderful moment. I had the intentions of getting cute matching 'big brother' and 'big sister' t-shirts. But, who was I kidding. This is about survival. Yes, we are more than thrilled about the arrival of baby 3 but I am less than thrilled about the on-going naseau vomitting. Less.than.thrilled. I was 'tricked' with Teagen. Sure, I was sick. Really sick. But, I wasn't "I'm going to die sick". Ha! She fooled me and this baby has other plans. Taking much more after it's brother than sister. We shall see. Right now I am in week 13. Survival. On Friday, I had a Zofran pump put into my leg that requires me to change it every 8 hours...a process that I will leave the details out. However, on the brighter side, the naseau and vommiting is so.much.better and with the constant drip of the medication, I seem to be hitting greener grass. That is without saying that my body is completely exhausted. The lack of food and nutrients in my body has done a number on me. But, I am surviving. And, surviving, I will. Much like with Eli. So, this is a time to celebrate(and for me to mope a little) that T will be a big sister. And, a great one, at that. We are so excited and, I am so excited for her.

During Eli's preschool, I would always take T a little early to pick him up. We had the playground to ourselves and she could run and play anywhere she wanted.

She loves to climb

this girl loves playing with balls

still has the most beautiful eyes

going through the tunnel

her sweet hands

walking

Obviously, these 2 don't belong but they are so cute I had to add them.

So, stay tuned because, one day, I will have a cute "i'm going to be a big sister" post!

full of personality

My little dainty thing is so full of personality these days. She has just transformed into this little attitude bearing, fun loving, sweet little baby err...toddler.

1. she gets the biggest cheesy smile everytime I take out the camera. She thinks it's so funny and loves to have her picture taken

2. she loves tickles. she especially loves it when you fingers 'attack' her with a ton of tickles

3. she loves to snuggle. lately she will just crawl up and lay down in my lap.

4. if she is in a somewhat fussy mood(usually from lack of afternoon nap or those pesky molars) and a 'friend' tries to come over to her, she will instantly get a big pouty lip and start crying. We were having a picnic lunch with a friend the other day. T was eating contently on the blanket by herself and I told my friend she could lay her baby on the blanket so her arms could take a break. the second T caught wind of her...big pouty lip and crying. it happened 3 other times within 2 days.

5. if she doesn't like something, she will look at it and the casually toss it off to the side as if to say "umm...not good enough for me"

6. she really loves her brother. she especially loves to go up to him and pat him when he is in a bad mood. too bad eli doesn't appreciate the sweet gesture.

7. she loves the dogs..."dogggiiiiieeee"

8. she loves to climb...all.the.time.

She is just the sweetest little thing around!
