The Start of a Big Girl Bed

So this weekend we went out and bought Mikaiya a mattress for her big girl bed. Her furniture has been on order for a month or so now and was supposed to be here by now, but it got back ordered until mid-May. We wanted to be sure she was ready to give up her toddler bed (which is going back to a crib for the baby) well before the baby would come, so we decided to get her a mattress and just set in on her floor. She had a great time helping get it set up in her room:

We took her out and let her pick out her own bedding. Here's what she picked:

The sheets sold it for her since they have little hearts on them. We were actually pretty surprised, because we let her pick between this one and one that had butterflies and flowers on it. We both thought she'd pick the butterflies and flowers (which was much less pink!!), but nope, she went straight for the pink with the hearts on it. Here's the comforter that goes with the sheets:

She is sooooo excited to go to sleep in it. Wish us luck with her first night! Here she is all ready for bed in her very first big girl bed!

Getting Bigger!

Here's a new pic of me this week. The baby belly is growing by the day! I'm now 28 weeks. I have to say, the second pregnancy has not been nearly as easy as the first was. I think having a 2 year old to chase around this time has made it a little tougher! I've been really tired and sore and of course, Mikaiya always wants to be carried around when I'm feeling my worst! We are finally starting to make some headway on getting ready for baby #2. We started taking apart some of the old furniture in the guest bedroom this weekend to get rid of it and we got Mikaiya a mattress to start her big girl bed (see next post!). I'll write again soon!

28 weeks this time around...

28 weeks with Mikaiya...

Mikaiya's Birthday Party

Here are the pictures from Mikaiya's birthday party: http://photos.walmart.com/share/p=62061207530609383/l=12210066/g=3342801/cobrandOid=1011/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB

She had a blast celebrating with all of her little friends! They played with bubbles and balls and played a stomp the bubble wrap game. They all enjoyed their cake with bright blue frosting. Everyone had a nice time!

Mikaiya's 2nd Birthday

It is so hard to believe that our little angel is TWO already! So much has changed in her this last year. She learned to walk, run, jump, talk, count and so many other things. She's to the point that you can actually have a conversation with her and she strings together 4-5 words now to make sentences (for example, "Kaya hold baby upside down"). And yes, that is a real sentence that she has said...and yes, she was holding her baby upside down. We're a little worried for her little sister to come! Mikaiya had a great 2nd birthday. She was treated like a princess at daycare and got to hear her whole class sing to her before they had birthday cookies. We came home early and opened presents with Nana and Pop, had her birthday dinner and made birthday ice cream sundaes (a new tradition in our household). Here are some pics of her fun day:
