It must be in the water...

It seems like everyone is pregnant these days.  We're going to have a baby boom early next year, and I think it's great.  I know of at least 15 babies that are due in between January and June, and new pregnancies are being announced every day! 

New babies means baby showers, and that's what has consisted of our last few weekends.  A few weekends ago was Audri's baby shower, where she got lots of nice things for her and baby Piper!  Ainsley only slept for half an hour or so on the way to the shower, so I had a feeling she would be a handful.  She did pretty good playing with Madilynn, but she had her meltdowns also. 

We were eating, with Ainsley on my lap and Madilynn beside me, when Madilynn starts playing with her food.  Ainsley looks over at her, points her finger, and proceeds to tell her "No-No".  Madilynn put her head down and then looked at Ainsley and said: "You be nice".  I'm sure the conversations between these girls will only continue to get better as they get older. 

I tried getting a few pictures at the shower, but I had taken my little camera with me, and I really dislike using it.  It seems like all pictures I take with it turn out blurry and it takes so long for the camera to actually capture the picture that by the time I've finally got it to take the picture, everyone is out of frame.  I guess I'm just spoiled with my big camera, but it's too big and bulky to take everywhere with me.  I'm hoping my new phone camera will work out much better for circumstances like this.  I just upgraded to the Iphone 4S.  I've had the old Iphone 3G for the last two years and the camera on it was terrible. 

Two little divas...Madilynn and Ainsley

Well, Hi there Hannah!

This last Sunday we had another shower for a friend that is having triplets.  Yep, you read that right....TRIPLETS!!!!  I've known Elisha since grade school and our families were friends growing up.  She couldn't be a better person to be pregnant with triplets.  She's a preschool teacher and absolutely adores kids.  She's always upbeat and happy, and I know is going to make a great mommy.  We couldn't be happier for her and Bob. 

I had to wake Ainsley up from her nap to go to Elisha's shower, and she wasn't in a very good mood about it.  The shower was at Elisha's Mom's house, who had breakables, etc. all over her house.  Ainsley wanted to explore, and had to go into every room, under everyone's legs, and it seemed like had to get into everything!  She wasn't scared of anyone, and kept everyone entertained.  She especially like the dog's tail and following the dog around.

Elisha and the babies got lots of nice things, and hopefully a good start on everything they're going to need.  She isn't finding out the sex of the babies, so she got lots of neutral gender things.  She got a few things with pink in them, but boys can wear pink too!  If even one of those babies is a little girl, I know she's going to one of the best dressed girls around!

Saturday night we went over to Lou and Alaina's, where Ainsley and Hadlee actually played good together.  It was so cute to watch them play.  I did get a picture with the camera on my new phone, and it's not too bad!

Getting ready to eat

This week hasn't been the greatest.  I woke up yesterday morning with my throat hurting, and the day just got worse as it went on.  I just felt like crap and it's continued today.  My head hurts.  I have no energy.  I feel like I have pins and needles poking me, and haven't had an appetite.  I did finally eat a little chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese tonight, but I hadn't ate anything since lunch yesterday before that.  I don't think Ainsley feels the greatest either.  She's been stuffy and  her nose has been running a little.  We've been keeping Tylenol and Benadryl in her, hoping it helps.  Lisa said when she woke up from her nap today that she was grabbing at her ear, so I have to try to get her into the doctor tomorrow to check for an ear infection.  I wish all this sickness would leave the Freeman house and never come back again!
