We Got To See The Ultrasound!!!

Yesterday Ryan and I had the super awesome experience of getting to skype in to the ultrasound of our baby!!!!! Abby was 11 days old when we met her, so we didn't experience any of her pregnancy. I loved how things worked out with Abby, but this is so fun!!!!! We got to hear the baby's heart beat, learn the weight, and also the gender! So what do you think, boy or girl? 
(This ultrasound pic was actually from the 14 week ultrasound, we didn't experience that one but they sent us pics!)

Amazing Birth Mama

I love birth mom's, all of them! This one did something extra special for her daughter, so much love!

Now I Know My ABCs

I'm a first time mom so I don't really know what the average age for kids to start doing things is, but today Abby has been singing the entire alphabet song completely on her own and including every single letter. She's still two months away from turning 3 and I think it is pretty freaking AWESOME!!! ‪#‎proudmommy‬ ‪#‎thatisall‬ ‪#‎thanksforlettingmebrag‬

Party of Four

Our View Outside Our Door

Day 2: Our view outside our door. Our backyard isn't huge, but it's a good size for us. We have a peach tree, a plum tree, two pear trees, a Chinese pistachee, a vegetable garden, an herb garden, and ornamental bushes and such. I love growing our own fruits and vegetables, they taste so much better than store bought and I feel safer eating them (but I still buy tons from the store). We have a decent size lawn all the way around our house, enough space for our dog Penny to get a little exercise (although she gets most of her exercise from us taking her on walks/runs twice a day). We have great neighbors. My favorite view looking out my door is watching Abby play in the yard! She loves being outside! When she was a colicy infant sometimes the only way I could get her to calm down was to set her outside. She needs outside time every day. In the summer she likes to play in her pool. We have a little play house with a slide that keeps her occupied. She loves to help with yard work and throw sticks for Penny. I love seeing her sidewalk chalk drawings in the patio. It's so fun to have a little girl fill our yard with joy! ‪#‎hopingtoadopt60days‬ ‪#‎hopingtoadopt‬‪ #‎choosingadoption‬ ‪#‎adoptionrocks‬ ‪#‎adoption‬ ‪#‎openadoption‬ ‪#‎thankheavensforlittlegirls‬ ‪#‎Day2‬ ‪#‎Abbysthebest‬

Us

Day 1: Us. This morning we went to the Wynn with my parents to see the flowers there. This carousel was amazing. It was made by the guy who does all the flowers for the rose parade!

Hoping To Adopt 60 Days

So I'm not sure how well I'll do with this, but I'm going to try.
"I, along with many other amazing hopeful adoptive couples, will be doing a 60 day challenge to let you all get to know us a little better. If you know someone that is looking to place and think they would be a good match for us, have them check out our challenge! Also, if you are hoping to adopt, leave your email in the comments to learn more"
