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 best picture to show just how large I am. This was taken two weeks ago on our trip to northern Germany. (Hopefully I will get that post up soon)
Here is a picture of our cute big girl! I can't believe how time flies.

Wow! I didn't realize you were that close!
Best wishes on the next few weeks as well as labor and delivery of that sweet boy!
BTW, didn't you just love all the great parenting advice given during General Conference!?!?

Jodi, you made our day! Simon, great photography!
Can't believe it's that time already! You look wonderful. Pregnancy really suits you!!!

Auburn is SO cute! I can't believe how big she is and that she's sleeping in a big girl bed! Porter will be two in less than two months (AH!) and I can't imagine him in a big boy bed! Of course, we don't have a little one in need of his crib, either, otherwise we may rethink that! ;)

Best wishes for an easy and quick delivery. I can't wait to see pictures and, of course, hear what his name will be! XOXOXO

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 ....

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!
