Our New Addition

 



So, we're excited to announce our little addition coming in September. Tay wanted to keep it just between us for a while to really enjoy the news. I told him that I told Nelli already and he thought she wouldn't be able to keep it quiet. I thought otherwise until the next day when we left her with Tyler and Ali to babysit while Tay and I went on a date. We found out that the first thing she told them was that mommy had a baby in her tummy--that little snitch.  We started telling family and close friends after that.

 

Nelli has been already talking to my stomach and excited about how she's going to be a "big sister." She said that she's growing bigger and bigger and when she's mommy's size she's going to get married in the temple and then have a baby in her tummy.

 



Her nurturing/mommy kick has gotten more intense. We went to visit my friend, Debbie, who just had a baby and had him in a carrier.  Nelli thought this was the coolest idea and asked me to put her baby in her shirt...she wore the baby for 2 days, not even taking it out for bed.  We'd take it out to get her cleaned up and ready for the day, then the baby would go right back in her "carrier."  The amazing thing is that she would do everything like she normally would with the baby in there. She'd climb on things, play, read, give me big uncomfortable hugs, etc.  This girl! =)

 

A week or so we went shopping for maternity pants.  Motherhood had a "belly-to-be" that you could strap on while trying on the pants to simulate what you would be like at 7 months pregnant.  Nelli thought this was too good to pass up.  I love how she's checking herself out in the mirror...
