Little Stinker

I call Troy our "Little Stinker" all the time now because he has learned a few new tricks like teasing Hailey by spitting water at her, and he's also just so busy he usually getting into trouble. (It's really funny to me when I hear Hailey saying, "Mom, Troy is being a little stinker." He figured out yesterday that he could push the chair over the the counter and get to the candy stash. He did not hold back. He opened like 5 suckers and was joyfully switching out his flavor choices. He was very shocked when I walked out and said "Uh-Oh". He jumped! It was so cute but now I have to find a new place to hide it all!

Sick

Troy was sick 2 weekends ago with a fever that lasted a few days then Hailey was sick last week with a fever that just raged on and on. Today was the 6th day of fever. The highest it got was 104. We took her in on Monday to the after hours clinic and they couldn't find anything. Strep test was negative. Then we went back in on Wednesday and her strep test was positive. We started her on antibiotic today but she really has had the worst of it. Luckily we have kept her home from pretty much everything including church, preschool, and a friend's party and playing with neighbor kids. (Lucky for everyone else.)

26 weeks

I'm officially 26 weeks. I feel excited about being past the 24 week mark and every extra week is just that much better for the baby. I had a ultrasound yesterday along with my appt and I can say I;m now in love with this person! I think it's something about feeling them move and seeing them stretch there arm or foot at the same time. My baby also has a little peach fuzz, adorable. I feel so very lucky to be getting these extra ultrasounds. I feel like I fell in love with Troy after he was born, I had a hard time getting my mind around being able to love another child. (Sappy but anyway mostly for my own records.) Pregnancy wise or staying pregnant everything looks good so far. I also found out that I will go in every week for my last trimester. I feel cuter then this picture shows but part of my problem is waiting til the end of the day to take a picture.

Leslie's baby shower

We threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law Leslie, this last weekend. It is fun to be expecting close to the same time as one of my sister in laws! This will be the first Kohler cousin! She is due April 20th and it's a surprise!
Her shower was a "Breakfast shower" and we had a really good turn out thankfully! Especially on your first it's so nice to be so well "showered"! They are having one more shower in Estancia this coming weekend. Leslie is 35 weeks pregnant. I cannot wait to meet the new little person soon to join the family!

I'm 24 weeks, Leslie at 35 weeks

A little cute side story about Hailey. Her preschool (like a month ago) had a Valentine's day party. She got to help decorate her own box. She had such a fun time. Another cute thing about Hailey lately is that she has been saying "I wish it was daytime all day!" (She never wants to go to bed.) Troy lately has picked up growling when he get frustrated or to get attention. Josh loves it and thinks it's adorable, me not so much! I do want to add he says "pee" for please and will sign more. He can also say bubbles and on a rare occasion will say "tank to" (thank you). Troy has been into "shows" as we call them at our house. His favorite is Elmo but in close second are Care bears and Curious George. He will sit still for a substantial amount of time and it really sweet when he snuggles up to either me or Josh, We love it!
I lately have been getting into Walgreens deals. We love daylight savings, it feels like Josh gets home at like 3 in the afternoon even though it's closer to six!
