Baby Kicks…

Posted on January 2, 2011 by whitneyladams

Bob had his first experience of baby kicks. New years Eve while trying to stay up late my sweet husband got to feel our sweet baby boys kicking. It was a wonderful to see his reaction. He loved to feel the babies. He has been talking to them every night trying to get them to “Kick daddy” since I started to feel them move. I love their baby kicks well except when my bladder feels like a trampoline. It is really fun to feel them moving although it is a little weird because it is all over my tummy but there are 8 limbs in there! The are more active at night, little night owls. Hopefully the will let mom get a little more sleep. I can not wait to see these little legs, arms, hands, and feet.

Christmas Snow…

Posted on December 26, 2010 by whitneyladams
 It was a white Christmas night.  Last night it began to snow. The snow kept falling throughout the night and the prediction was for us to get about 2-3 inches. We woke up this morning to a Winter Wonderland. When I measured the ground we had 7 inches and it was still falling. It has been flurrying off and on for the day. It is just beautiful.

 Izzy loves the snow too!

Nursery Inspiration…

Posted on December 24, 2010 by whitneyladams
I have always wanted to plan a nursery and that is one of the reason I really wanted to find out the gender of our sweet babies. I have bookmarked a lot of nursery ideas and inspiration websites. After we found out they were boys I really began looking for nursery ideas. Bob and I have different tastes so this has been a challenge. When I first found out I was pregnant I would go to the Pottery Barn Kids store and gush over the beautiful nursery bedding whenever I  had the chance. I fell in love with Eli’s Elephants and believe it or not my husband likes it as well. After hours of searching through thousand of catalogs and websites it is still my favorite nursery bedding.
 This is my dream nursery
 I love the blues and greens and of course the adorable elephants! The little mobile is too cute. My only problem is the retired the curtains and valence so I will need to try to find a gently used set or a different kind to match.
These are a few ideas I found from others who have used this bedding. I love the light blue on the walls and the tree mural.

 I also found some cute nursery accessories on Esty
Is it not the cutest! I think it would make the perfect nursery!

Izzy and Santa…

Posted on December 19, 2010 by whitneyladams
I took Izzy to see Santa at Petsmart today. She was not to sure about him but finally she looked at the camera and we got two really cute pictures.
They let anyone take a picture with Santa for $10 and $5 of that goes to homeless pets. You get two digital prints and picture frame. I think next year we may just have to go back with the boys and Izzy it was a lot less chaotic than the mall and a cost a lot less. Sorry the picture is poor quality it is a picture of a picture since my scanner will not work.
