Ethan Quote of the Day

While watching an episode of Dora the Explorer,entitled "Big Sister":

Ethan: "Dora's mommy has a baby in her tummy just like you and
Christine have a baby in your tummy!"

Me: "Yes, that's right!"

Ethan: "But not me, I have donuts and waffles in my tummy."

Love him :)

Time to get to work!

This is what my month looks like: Ethan's birthday just passed, it was so much fun, pics to come....I'm also hosting my cousins bridal shower on the 28th, her wedding is on the 4th, helping host Christine's baby shower on the 11th, and ALSO throwing a batchlorette party for a nursing school friend on the 11th! Talk about a busy month! I've never written so many invitations, made so many favors, and worried about as many RSVP's as I have these past few weeks! But I love it. If this nursing thing doesn't work out, I could really do well as an event planner :) Good thing I only work three days a week, or else this would be impossible! There's just something about little details with celebrations that I love. I'm sure no one cares as much as I do, but hey what can I say I like to make things perfect ;) On another note....we also started painting Devin's room. My aunt Karen painted and put up an adorable wall paper border when it was Ethan's nursery. But we quickly realized as soon as he figured out you could peel it from the wall, it was all down hill from there! So we spent the second half of Sunday (after the birthday party) peeling the rest of the paper from the wall and painting. We painted the bottom half a shade of green and plan on putting up a wooden chair rail. Let's see Devin try and peel THAT off the wall! I will post pics as soon as it's all done. I also put up some dinosaur decor that is the cutest thing I have ever seen! (okay maybe I'm biased) But we are so excited to get it all done and ready for Devin. I know what you're thinking...."Rachel, isn't it a little early for all of this?" Well I remember how it was with Ethan, we waited until the end (about 7 months) to do everything. I remember how exhausted the littlest things made me, and figure I'll do everything while I have the energy to help. And Devin's already measuring big for gestation..so who knows, he could definitley be here before the new year! Either way we're ready :) Hope the last bits of summer are going well for everyone!

It's definitely a BOY!

We had our 18 week sonogram today and are excited to share that we are having another boy! Devin Lee is doing great, 10 ounces already! We got some great pics to add to the baby book :) I will admit, part of me was really wanting a girl...but I am really excited now that he is a boy. Now I can officially paint the room and keep the boy dinosaur nursery bedding I got (we had a hunch that it was a boy from our 14 week sono). Cant wait for Devin (and cousin Parker) to be here!!
