2 more days!!

Bailee Kaye Arnold will be here in only 2 days...and needless to say I'm slightly freaking out!!!! I know I know, I've done all of this once before, but its still always scarrrry to know that you are about to have a little baby. She is going to rely on me for every little need. I really think that I am going to be a great mother to 2 little girls, and I know that Carlee is going to be the best big sister ever! She tells EVERYONE she is going to have a baby sister, and today when she first woke up she said: "MOMMY SISTER WILL BE HERE TO SEE ME IN 2 DAYS!" It was the most adorable little thing in the whole world!

Yesterday we got her the game Pretty Pretty Princess and she totally rocks at playing it! She beat me twice, and I wasnt even letting her win. She won fair and square! And boy was she excited that she won!!!!!! I found my little pink camera yesterday (thank goodness cause i didnt wanna take my big nikon to the hospital), and I took some pictures of her with her winning jewelry on...need I say more...she is a little diva!

My girl is also a sick little diva. Shes had an awful cough for over 3 weeks, and now she has to have breathing treatments. She looks so pitiful while she has to take them, but she says its ok mommy, its medicine for my lungs. The doctor is trying hard to get her all better before Thursday so she will be able to hold sister and not be miserable. So everyone keep us in your thoughts, and pray she gets better soon!!!!!

my poor baby

3 weeks left!!

Oh my goodness, as me and Carlee were going to our favorite store ever (Target) SO many people asked me when my baby was due. And it suddenly hit me....Bailee will be here in exactly 3 weeks, unless i go into labor on my own of course! This makes me so incredibly excited, but really nervous at the same time!!! Even though i have scrubbed my house at least 10 times in the last 2 weeks I still feel like there is so much for me to do! All of her little clothes have been washed, and are neatly hanging in her closet just waiting for her arrival! Diapers, wipes, passies, jammies, shoes, strollers, car seat, blankets, bottles and all that fun stuff are ready...but why do I feel like there is still so much for me to do?? The only thing I have left to finish on her bedroom is find some cute butterfly stickers to put on her walls, and i just cant find exactly what im looking for. I want white butterflies, and I found some cute ones at Target, but they are just the outline of a butterfly and I want them to be solid white. So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!! Hopefully i can find some this week, and it will put my little mind to rest, and i will know that everything is completely ready for her arrival!!

Mommy's Day!

I don't know about all the other moms out there, but I sure had the BEST mothers day ever!!!!! My baby girl painted me a beautiful wooden heart and decorated it (with a little bit of dads help), and David got me BEAUTIFUL diamond earrings!! But the best part of the day was spending time with my wonderful family!!! It was so nice having almost all of my cousins around, and especially my little sister! Her fiancee, Patrick, came and man he play the guitar! It was so cute when he was playing and Carlee was singing...she is actually a really really good singer! Voice lessons just may be in her future. We just gotta get Patty to learn some Taylor Swift songs on the guitar because Carlee is OBSESSED with her music! Thats all we ever listen to in the car!!! (at least its not like Barney or something horrible like that).
When David finally got home from work we went outside to play, and he got to pretend he was the photographer! He actually did a pretty good job taking our pictures! I had to have some of my and my girls (Bailee in the belly still)! Hopefully she will be here soon, cause her little foot being wedged under my ribs is just not cutting it much longer!!!!!!

GRADUATION!!!!!!

I DID IT!!!! Yesterday I finally graduated Chattanooga State with an Associate of Applied Science Degree with a concentration in Web Based Design. I have been going to Chatt State since 2005 ( i did Middle College) and i can not believe its finally over! I have worked my butt off in school, and I wanted to quit several times... thank goodness my wonderful husband never let me though!! So besides looking RETARDED in my cap, and people thinking im morbidly obese in my gown, everything went really good at the ceremony. Im pretty sure no one could tell there was a baby in my belly, and they just thought i was some short fat girl...they probably felt sorry for me. HAHA!!!

My mom, dad and me!!

the love of my life

Bailee was there too

Sleeping Beauty

As everyone knows very well, I love my family more than ANYTHING in the world. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband like David, who takes care of us and provides everything we ever need. And I have the best daughter in the world (soon to be daughters). Seeing David paint Carlee's toes, fix her hair, jump on the trampoline with her, plant flower with her, read books to her every single night, and rough her up every now and then absolutely melts my heart!! I mean...what other dad would paint their little princess' toes AND put little butterfly stickers on them?!?!?! Last night Carlee fell asleep snuggling him on the little couch, and its just one of those priceless moments to me.
I love my family SO much!!
