Big Birthday Party Day!

Today is the big 4th birthday party for my little Hallie! She is SO excited. I don't think I've ever seen her so excited about something for so long. She is excited to see her friends, have her cousins over for pizza and icecream cake with gummie bears and smarties in it (you should have come Jes!). She is excited to see her uncle and aunts and grandparents!

Since last Easter Hallie has been asking for bunkbeds and a brother and we have told her that she would get just one of them because we had intended to buy her bunkbeds all along! She has not forgotten that she would get either bunkbeds or a brother and Chris and I were getting a little nervous that she would be disappointed because she isn't ready for bunkbeds. She can get up but not down and said she wouldn't sleep on the top. Well, we certainly aren't putting Raya on the top so that doesn't work.

On Wednesday at our ultrasound
Her little dream came true
That baby had and extra "part"
We're going from "pink" to "BLUE"

She just keeps saying "Can you belived it's a brother mom, can you believe it!, Can you believe God picked a brother!!"

As most of you know, I'm a little nervous to have a boy...any advice from you moms with boys??

Today will be a busy day and I'll post about it another day once it's all finished!

Calling all guessers....or prophets :)

We are finding out (hopefully) on Wednesday what this little baby is....

boy or girl
blue or pink
take a guess
what do you think?

not a bad little poem for a tired prego mama!!

last post continued....

Hallie and Chris played in the snow today while Raya and I went grocery shopping. She was super excited to show me her new friend in the backyard as soon as I got home! This is her very first snowman ever! I was really proud of her.

Hallie made a "Salad" the other night and it was quite interesting, well gross actually. She was saving it in the fridge for my mom who is coming on Wednesday. Ever time I open the fridge I nearly puke so I bribed her this morning and traded her 4 smarties for her salad. I had to promise to take a picture of it for Abuela though! Here's the recipe in case you want to try it yourself :)
Hallies Special Salad
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Water
Salt (lots)
