Mother's Day

We joined the Gilbert's on Mother's Day, got to hear Preston and Alex speak in church, they both gave beautiful talks. I wasn't dry eyed through either one of them. :) Alex also played a piano accompaniment, which was also lovely, was so proud of him! We had brunch with the GIlberts, Jess and Jorge, as well as Lilly's Great Grandma Jeanne, and Great Great Grandma Bennie! It was so fun to have everyone all together.

It's Another GIRL!!

We had our ultrasound this last Wednesday for baby #2! Everything looks healthy and good, heartbeat was at 150, and it's another little lady! So fun for Lilly to have a little sis, and easy for us, since everything we already have is pink! i knew as soon as they pulled up the screen for her gender that we were looking at another little girl- spotted those three signature lines they always point out. Like Lilly's ultrasound, they weren't able to get a profile shot because of the way she was laying- so we have a front face pic, which to me looks like a scary alien.
Alex and I have come to the conclusion that we are just good at making little girls! Our first one was pretty cute, so this one is bound to be too. :)

That evening we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Gilbert, and we were in the door no more than 10 minutes when Lilly ran head first into the coffee table leg and sliced her forehead. So we packed everything up and headed down to the ER where we sat waiting for 45 minutes... which seems like forever when you are waiting with a hurt child. They glued her shut, which was so easy, glad there were no stitches involved. She is her perfectly normal, active, happy self today.

This is about 5 days later, you can still see her Harry Potter Lightning scar... but it is healing up nicely!
