...I had a doctor's appointment with my first exam since the beginning of the pregnancy.  She said I was 1 cm dialated which made me sooo excited because that meant the actual beginning signs of Grace arriving were here! I didn't really understand that you could be 1 cm for over a month if the baby still wasn't ready. Excitement gone.

...I also had an ultrasound because Dr. Tyre wasn't one hundred percent sure that the baby was head down. During the ultrasound we discovered that she most definitely is, she weighs 7 pounds 1 ounce, and she has more hair than any baby EVER. We are good to go.

...Eddie and Kelli officially became husband and wife!! We had a great time at their beautiful wedding and couldn't be happier for them.


...we picked out Grace's "coming home from the hospital" outfit. Isaac went upstairs to feed the fish one night and was up there for a looong time. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm trying to pick out Grace's outfit for when we bring her home." It was so cute. Of course I went up to help him. First, we picked out this one because the hat is the cutest thing in the world:


Then we realized that June is just around the corner, and it should be getting super hot any day now. So we went with something a little cooler so she'll be more comfortable:


We're bringing both just in case, plus a few more teeny tiny onesies that are just adorable.

...I started having contractions!! On Sunday, we were going through the Memphis BBQ drive-thru (surprise, surprise) when I had this cramping in my stomach. It moved to my back and began tightening up. After a couple of minutes it went away only to come back twenty minutes later. This kept happening every twenty minutes for about four hours before it just stopped completely. We were so bummed! Maybe next week she'll be ready?!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
