Surprise Baby #2 coming in February!

We are expecting our second little bundle of joy and are so excited to meet this new addition to the family!! Julianne is getting really excited too she likes to talk to the baby and give my belly kisses. She is a big helper these days and has been taking good care of me, especially when I complain to her and she comforts me in her own little way (rubbing my arm and telling me its going to be okay) she is such a little mother , its cute! She loves to take care of her babies and I hope she will like caring for her new sibling!! My sister n law is also expecting her 3rd in January, and we get to find out what she will be having this weekend! I never actually thought we would be pregnant together, especially only 4 weeks apart, so its been fun being pregnant together and then getting to watch our babies grow up at the same rate!! Randy and I will be having our +20 weeks sono tomorrow and will NOT be finding out the gender, Randy insists, I am alittle tempted to know this time around, but you can never be prepared for a newborn(that's what I tell myself), just hoping for a healthy baby!!! I have been feeling great and all my check ups are right on track, every time I ask the heart rate they tell me the same thing, its been 150. I'm thinking its a Girl because my pregnancy has been the same and I also want Jules to have a sister :) But we will find out in February! Hopefully I can post some sono pics soon, but here are some belly pics:)

Strawberry Pickin

I had lots of fun things I want to do this summer with Julianne and one of them was to show her the strawberry fields. She loved the strawberry fields, but mostly eating the strawberries. We went early in the morning to avoid any field trips, and we got there just in time because as we were finishing a group of kids started coming up our row to start picking. It was a fun experience for both us, since it was my 3rd time to pick and Julianne's 1st. We got the big bucket and filled it to the brim, I'm estimating we got 6 qt, so it was probably $1/qt.!! They tasted so good you don't even need sugar on them!! Julianne was my little helper she helped pull the wagon and she also tasted them to make sure we got the ripe ones. I picked my little heart out because I knew she was going to get antsy (and playgroup was at 10)so it probably took me alittle over 30min. to fill the bucket. When we got home I washed them and cut the stems and then layed them on a cookie sheet, so they wouldn't stick together when I froze them. The other half I'm sure will be devoured in the next day or so. I used the frozen strawberries in smoothies or thawed to have as toppings on shortcake=Yummy!!
