Claire and Camille

 So...I took about 15 pictures of Claire this morning before church because she was looking REALLY cute in a ladybug dress that Momma got for her recently. Since I had made some ladybug bows recently as well, I decided to put them in her piggy tails to match her dress. She smiled really well for the camera and everything! However, this is the only picture that is showing up on my camera card (and I am QUITE grumpy about it, since I'm not always the best at remembering to take pictures in the first place!). So this is the only picture I can post. :( But at least Claire is smiling! :)
She looked especially cute today, and was very happy (a miracle with her two-year-old "spunkiness"), and I was hoping to document it. I love this sweet girl and all her silly little girl antics. Claire has been saying such cute things lately, and seeming to grow in knowledge by leaps and bounds. Lately she likes to say silly things like, "I love my cozy feet!" :) I am not sure where she picked that up, but she laughs like crazy when she says it. :) She also has started doing really well at the "thumbs up" sign, which she thinks is very grown up. :) Her favorite thing today was to say, "Daddy, are you alright?" when Austin sneezed...it was too cute. Not that he sneezed more than twice today, but I just think it is adorable, and she knew it...so she had to keep saying it, of course :) At dinner time tonight, she proudly informed Austin and me that: "I'm two years old!" :) It seems like just yesterday I brought her home from the hospital...time is flying by, and my baby is growing so big.

Speaking of growing big, I have gotten a little bigger these days as well. I'm officially in my last month of pregnancy now. After next week's appointment, I will be going in once a week until little Camille gets here. Hopefully she decides to come sooner than Claire...maybe I should give her the evacuation notice sooner? :) Just kidding. Anyways, I'm getting pretty excited to meet my newest little girl. :) Only a little bit longer now! :) It seems a little easier to wait for Camille since I have Claire to run after these days...and it helps that this pregnancy (so far, knock on wood) has been quite a bit easier on me than when I was pregnant with Claire. However, I will say that--especially this last week--I have been t-i-r-e-d. I can tell that this is the end of pregnancy just by the fact that I'm getting up a million times each night, and waking up feeling like I didn't sleep at all. And wondering "when is naptime again???" :) about 30 minutes after I get up in the mornings. Haha! Wouldn't it be nice to go back to bed and sleep? People always say, "Rest up before the baby gets here." What they don't mention is that you don't really "rest" when you are 9 months pregnant. You get "power naps" (at best, if you are lucky). Good thing these sweet babies are worth EVERY bit of it!!! :) My appointment is this Friday morning, so I guess I'll see then how I start out this last home stretch. Hopefully everything will be good to go as I finish up so that I can get have my VBAC with Camille. :) Time will tell. :) Happy Memorial Day weekend!
