If you don't win it...you don't get it

Since I've entered the Stroll-Air giveaway via Facebook I have been constantly researching and looking up other side by side strollers. I really could go for a jogging stroller but I know that babies can't go jogging around for the first few months anyway, so that wish can wait until after Christmas or soemthing. I have undoubtedly fallen in love with the Stroll-Air stroller. I love that it can come with a bassinet so baby sister can sleep all snuggly while Kenz and I go for a walk. I love that it has seats that can face the front or the back, depending on how much eye time the girls want to have with their mom! I love that I can just click the baby carrier car seat right into the stroller if Honor is already asleep and I don't want to wake her up in the transition. I also adore that it is bright RED which adds a little flair for my stylistic side :) all in all, I have found myself wondering what will happen if I don't win. Brett and I were discussing this hopefully-never-to-happen event that I don't win. His response was simple: if you don't win it, you don't get it. Plain as that. I have to admit my heart sank a little. But, I know whoever wins will be getting a stellar stroller (say that five times fast!) and will be one blessed mama!

My last post about the giveaway, I promise! If you haven't already gone to the stroll-air Facebook page and left my name in a comment, you really should. You could be helping to making my biggest stroller dream come true :)

"I can get Baby Sister out!"

You know the phrase: "Kids say the darnedest things"??? Well, Kenzie has her new favorite phrase that always leaves Brett and I rolling on the floor in laughter. She is bound and determined to get Baby Sister out of my belly as soon as possible. I told Brett I better start writing these down because they are too funny not to share! Here are some of her recent ideas:

1. "I'll just brush my teeth and she'll come out"
2. "Mom, just put your arms out and spin around fast and Baby Sister will come out"
3. "Just squeeze your belly with your arms like you have to poop and Baby Sister will come out"
4. "Blow out like the Big Bad Wolf and she'll come out"
5. "Just sneeze!"

And today's recent idea, "Here, Mom, let me hit her and then she'll come out!" That idea resulted in me running away from her swatting hands, which in turn became a game of "chase."

I have to admit that I cannot wait for Honor to grace us with her presence, however with our stuff still somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, I hope she waits at least until her car seat arrives or we won't be coming home from the hospital!

30 Week Check Up

Today was my 30 week check up at Tripler Army Medical Center with the midwives :) I was super stocked because Brett finally got to go along with me to a check up, and we also got to get an ultrasound since I was an incoming patient. Kenzie was a trooper and got to play in the kids waiting room (thanks ASYMCA for free babysitting during appointments) twice in one day!

Our first appointment was the ultrasound in which we got to see Baby Honor and all her growing glory! She has a cute little button nose just like her big sister, and weighs a little over 3 lbs already!! The u/s tech said everything looked good, and after quite a bit of prodding and poking around she was able to get all the views she needed. I left the appointment happy but sore! We were given a whole slew of ultrasound pics but I need to scan them...put that on the to-do list!

We picked K up from the kids room and took her out to lunch at a cute little local place. Back to TAMC we went for the second appointment, this time with a midwife. Kenzie went right back into the kids room and resumed playing. Brett and I met another of the midwives and after the routine blood pressure, temperature, fetal heart rate check we were on our way! Finally got to schedule our hospital tour too :) I only have a few appointments left: 34 weeks, 36 weeks (strep test yuck!), 38, 39, 40. I was measuring 31w3d at this appointment so maybe Honor will come early! *crossing fingers*

We are so blessed with this beautiful, growing baby girl and can't wait to meet her in person! I have nesting fever like MAD right now- unfortunately I cannot nest without all our baby stuff here yet! Here's praying and hoping that our stuff comes earlier than the expected September 28th arrival date! I'm dying for our stuff!!!!

Mexico Superb-ness

Kenzie and I had the privilege of tagging along to Aunt Vanessa's wedding celebration in Mexico for two whole weeks! It was tough to be away from Brett again for so long but it was a great time visiting with friends and family that we haven't seen for so very long! We had a stellar flight out there, a great time with Amma Sue at the condo and a wonderful stay at the Catalonia Resort (despite some hiccups along the way- although I will never ever stay there again!). Here are some of my favorite photo memories of our little vacay!

 My little girl became quite the fishy. She lived at the pool all week long! 

Ness was a beautiful bride!!!

Brett even made an appearance (via Facetime) at the reception!

Kenzie stole the show in her OOAK creation made by yours truly!

Kenzie and Wilson became BFFs or Frienimes...depended on the time of day.
