can you tell what she's singing?

here are a few videos of her singing. she really can sing these songs much clearer, but when she has an audience (a camera), she acts silly, so this is the best i could get out of her.

this one drags on in the beginning, but i love how she sings "where" at the end!

in other news, in the past week or so, i've developed what i think is pregnancy induced carpel tunnel. its the worst when i sleep and first wake up, but my hands/fingers are somewhat numb all day long. baby center says it should go away after i have the baby. just another glamorous part of being pregnant, i guess! i'm due in one week from today and i'm getting SO excited to have her! i just can't wait to go into labor, and i just can't wait to see this little girl's face!

hospital outfit

i know its kind of dumb, but i really want a new, special outfit for baby girl to wear home from the hospital. (its dumb because i have about 3 pictures of isabella wearing her "special outfit" while in the carseat on the way home and you really can't even see the outfit!). so, i bought a little white one piece outfit from gap with a plan to have my mom sew ruffles or something cute on it. well, i'm getting antsy and just wanted to have the outfit done today. so, in my impatience i thought that maybe i could iron on a flower over the little bear (you know, the one gap puts on everything). after i did that, i thought that doing something around the collar would be cute so i hand sewed a little ruffle thingy (technical term). i don't normally post about my craft attempts because, well, this is my sister. but, i'm REALLY proud of this!
i started with this (in white with a brown bear).

isn't it cute?! and won't she look so cute in it when she's all tucked into her carseat?!

36 weeks, 2 days

i recently realized that i had practically no pictures of me pregnant this time. i'm really bad at keeping up on that kind of stuff, but i didn't want to look back and regret not having any pictures (or have to apologize to this second daughter for not having any pictures).

so, i asked my new dad (walt) to come over and take some photos of my belly and of us as a family of three.


thanks, walt! we love you!

video

its been about a month and half since i took this and i can't believe how much more she's talking and how much clearer her words are. i need to take some current ones, but wanted this on the blog because i thought it was so cute.

big girl bed

isabella made the transition to a big girl bed! she was so SO excited about it. i thought it might be a hard transition for her: new house, new room, new bed. but, she proved me wrong! i can't believe what a big girl she is.
