Bangkok

I am finally getting around to putting up pictures from our trip to Thailand. We have been home for almost a month, and you would think that with my husband traveling every week to Italy for work that I would of gotten it down already.
We had a fabulous time in Thailand! It was so different from anything that we have ever done. We were gone for about two and half weeks. We flew into Bankok from Munich with a stop in Abu Dhabi. Bangkok was our homebase for this trip. We went to Chaing Mai, Krabi and Cambodia, but I will be posting those pictures later.
Auburn did great on the trip. She did have a hard time on the first leg of the flight to Bangkok, but after that she was great. We found that she loves plain steamed rice. I always tried to sneak in veggies or some meat. She also adjusted to the time change pretty quickly as well. The first couple of nights we were all awake at 2:00am, but we finally got things turned around. Auburn was a star in Thailand, not as much as Egypt. We had people asking if they could take pictures of her. We were all healthy! I was a little worried being pregnant and with Auburn, but we did great!
This post has Bangkok and our day trip to Ayuthaya. I always end up putting pictures in the wrong order so our trip to Ayuthaya is first and then Bangkok.

Ayuthaya
We took a day trip from Bangkok to this city. The city is famous for the ancient ruins. We had a nice day wandering through the city from Wat to Wat. Here is Auby showing off her shades.
Bangkok
We toured the Grand Palace, Dusit park and a lot of really cool Wats. We also went to a snake farm where they take venom to make antivenom, some cool markets, and Ancient City.





The food was seriously amazing! We ate so much Pad Thai, spring rolls and other yummy food.

Auburn's blessing

On Sunday, November 23rd, Simon was able to bless our precious little Auburn. Grandpa and Grandma Hill were able to be here for the blessing. I know that Papi and Grandma Little wished they could of been here as well. We had an earlier visit from the Littles when Auby was just a few weeks old. Grandma Hill made her beautiful dress and Grandma Perkins made her blanket. This weekend we had our first snowfall. The temperature was frigid and there was still snow on the ground. It still turned out to be a wonderful day. Auburn was her perfect little self. She didn't cry at all and her Daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!

It's a ......

We found out last past week that we are expecting .... a baby boy! We are super excited! I had a feeling ever since we found out that I was pregnant that would be having a boy. Auburn came to the ultrasound with us and repeatedly said "baby" while we looked at the screen. We are excited for her to have a little brother. We just need to start thinking of baby boy names ....

preparing for baby

I guess I had forgotten all of the things that need to be done to prepare for a new baby. We have also been trying to prepare Auburn for the the baby as well. Auburn now refers to herself as "big girl" (she also calls herself Auby). We took her "bink" away a few months ago. She was only using it for sleep. The first night she was furious, but then that was it. She asked for it at naptime for the next few weeks and then, nothing, no more bink. She started sleeping in her big girl bed last week. There has been no problems with that transition either. Simon asked her the other day if she wanted to sleep in the crib of the bed and she said "big girl bed". I know that there will be some jealousy, but so far so good. I started buying newborn diapers, washing all of his clothes, moved the crib up to newborn and put boy sheets on and packed my bag for the hospital. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. We are only 3 weeks away.... This is the be
