Can you guess?
That's right, Elliana Joy will be joinging our family in just 5 short (haha) months!
We're excited...and shocked (jodie) and can't wait to meet this sweet little one. I guess we'll have to invest in some head bows. :)

Read Previous Post and VOTE! :)
I wanted to post some cute pictures of Noah, but I am having so much fun reading what people are guessing about baby's gender, I want to make sure you vote on my previous post....tomorrow is the big day!
Brushing his teeth after a delicious breakfast (he started in the bathroom but followed me out when I got the camera!)
On to baby #1. Some of the pics I've taken have been a little random, but still super sweet. Enjoy! **Some of them are blurry, I must have had the camera on a weird setting...sorry!**
My little handsome guy:
Playtime with (rather, on) daddy:
He was helping me make banana bread this morning, enjoying a banana of his own!
Brushing his teeth after a delicious breakfast (he started in the bathroom but followed me out when I got the camera!)Trying soooo hard to put on mommy's flip flops! Enjoy the progression of pics!
What's YOUR guess?
Already several people have commented on what gender they think baby #2 is. Obviously, none of these people have any real reason to guess one way or another, but still many have a "gut" feeling. I like keeping tabs. So, comment and let me know what YOUR guess is...boy? or girl?

Wednesday
This Wednesday is our BIG DAY! We will hopefully find out if we're having a little boy or a little girl. I'm so excited. I sure hope baby cooperates and lets us get a good look. It's hard to believe that we might actually know in just a couple of days. I've thought boy the whole time, but the past week I started thinking maybe girl. Hylke has thought girl. We will be thrilled either way. I'll be sure to post our exciting news sometime on Wednesday evening.

Long overdue...
Ok, our rechargeable batteries for the camera are all out of charge....for good. We've had them for 2 years, and they just won't keep a charge. Unfortunately, we were also out of our Costco size pack of AA batteries. We finally got new rechargeable batteries and a new Costco pack of AA's today...I'm ready to start taking pictures again. However, b/c of this, I haven't taken pictures for over 2 weeks!!! Since Noah was in bed by the time I got the batteries in the camera, you'll have to settle for a couple prego pictures of me. These were just taken 1/2 hour ago, so they're very recent. :)

Back to normal
It seems like we are all getting back to normal. Noah is 100% better and mommy is feeling better (more rested) too. :)
Since Hylke's been so busy lately, we decided to take a little "daycation". Sunday after church Hylke decided to take Monday as a comp day and we got some stuff packed and headed to Carlsbad for the night. What a great little get-away! The weather was beautiful...coastal weather is just delightful! Noah slept great in the hotel room...7:30 pm-8am!! I don't remember the last time I slept until 8am. Even if Noah sleeps late, I'm usually up, not yesterday. After spending the day in Carlsbad, we were able to stop by Temecula and see Hylke's parents and some of our friends.
This morning we didn't wake up until 8:45. This is unheard of. Most parents out there know that there's really no need for alarm clocks, our children wake us up plenty early (unless you like getting up REALLY early). Well, this morning, since our alarm clock didn't wake up until 8:45 (catching up on lost sleep...) we didn't wake up until 8:45!! Again, this just doesn't happen...we're always (except for this morning) up before that. I must admit, it felt very nice!!
Ok, off to finish being productive! :)
