Will and I were thrilled to find out our second child is going to be a girl! I found out a few hours before Will did because the gender ultrasound was unexpected at my appointment so I went to baby gap and came home with this adorable little pink bathing suit for him to unwrap. We thought and hoped it would be a girl, but we were still surprised! We were able to see her through ultrasound yesterday and everything looks great. She is growing as she should 9 inches, 10 ounces, her heartbeat was 156 and all things pregnancy look good- my blood pressure, weight gain, etc. I am 19 weeks and I have gained 5 pounds so far, so I am 145. Would love to stay under 160, so I can get back to 130 (pre-pregnancy weight with Liam) as soon as possible, but obviously want her to be nice and chunky!

We are starting to get her room ready, crib, mattress, dresser, glider and all set up. We bought pillows and some fabric so I feel like we are off to a good start.

We decided to name her Penelope Kate.

We also took Liam to Disney World for the first time. It was a great family day- all 3 of us had so much fun!

Liam also started sleeping in his big boy bed and is doing great.

He is now 21 months old. His 2nd birthday is April 9th. We haven't decided between doing a party or doing something special or just laying low.

We were able to go home to Kentucky for Christmas and visit with friends and family and it was so refreshing to be there, but it is nice to be back in our new home too!

Liam and I had a "Liam Fun Day" today because I know in 4 months we will probably be hanging around the house a lot! We went to the playground, Panera, cookie company, rode the train at the mall, went to the beach and still on the list is to go get a balloon from Publix and maybe go see a movie! We are taking a break this afternoon to rest :)

Church and Will's job is going really well. Keeping us busy. Will is taking the youth to a concert tomorrow called Winter Jam. I'm think I am going to stay home with Liam and get stuff done and relax.

Will and I were able to go on a date which was really nice. We went to dinner on the beach, Starbucks and we bought new dining room chairs!

A friend of mine here and I started a Bunco group and we had our first meeting Tuesday! It was super fun! Thankful for the sweet ladies here.

Please be praying with us that someone will buy our house. It has been up for sale for 3 months now and would really love it if by Spring we didn't own it anymore!
