Here it is.....

Maddie loves her new room! We finally have everything in there except her dresser. It's not totally decorated yet either. I still need to hang up her pictures on the wall. But she started sleeping in there Thursday for nap, and has had 2 successful nights. Lets hope tonight is the third! She talks about her big girl room and is very excited about it! The first picture is Friday morning after her first night. Then after we made her bed, she wanted me to take more pictures of her!!

BIG GIRL!!

Maddie's big girl room is almost done! We are moving her into the room I grew up in, and the Sean's old room (which is where Maddie has been) will remain the baby's room. Her new room has been completely painted and we put up her bed the evening, complete with hawaiin style bedding. :-) (Typical Mealy's!!!) She was jumping on it and loved being in her new room. She has a double bed, so I still need to get the railings before she can sleep in it, which is what I hope to do tomorrow. That, along with finishing up the room and getting all her stuff moved in it. HOpefully by tomorrow night she'll be sleeping in it. I think we'll try it out for nap though first to see how she does. She took a nap yesterday in her big girl bed at my mom and dad's house which is a single bed, but she did just fine! So, say some prayers that we wont be up all night with a little monkey jumping on her new bed!!!! Still, we are without a camera. I'm hoping to steal my mom's for a day and take some pics of her new room. As soon as I do, I'll get them posted.

Maddie spent the day today with Dave's dad and stepmom. Grandma and Grandpa took her the zoo and they had a great time! They were amazed at how many animals she knew and that she was able to count them too. They couldnt believe how much she is talking (which I know she gets from me!!!). She came home with a stuffed frog that they bought her and the zoo was all she could talk about tonight. HOpefully I'll get some pictures from them when they get them developed.

The 2nd Trimester begins!!!!

I finally said goodbye to my first trimester on Monday.....WOOOOHOOOO! I went to the doctor on Thursday and heard this little peanuts heartbeat for the first time. Oh yea, when I was pregnant with Madilyn, my mom had nicknamed her Sweatpea. So this time around she has nicknamed the baby Peanut. My mom actually still has my hospital room phone number programed into her phone as "Sweetpea's room." :-) So anyway, I recorded the heartbeat on my phone (as most of you have already heard) and its absolutly amazing to listen to! I just randomly play it throughout the day and Maddie loves to listen to it too! We've scheduled my 20 week ultrasound for Sept 30th and I had no idea how great it was going to be! Apparently they will record it onto a DVD and they will also do some 3-D and 4-D shots! I wish I would have had all that great stuff with Maddie too! Its amazing the difference a couple years can make.

Im sorry that my blog has gotten so boring without any pictures. Our camera broke when we were in Myrtle Beach, and we still have not bought a new one. As an avid scrapbooker this is DEFINATLY NOT a good thing!!!! Its been very frustrating for me! :-)

Madilyn is DEFINATLY 2 yrs old!! She just throws random fits over absolutly nothing and just because she feels like it. I have found that there is nothing I can do to make it better and I've tried everything to distract her, which only makes it worse. So I just have to let her lay on the floor and throw her fit. It usually lasts about 10-15 minutes. THANK GOD this hasnt happened in the store yet! I'm not quite ready for that experience as I have absolutly no idea what I would do!!!!!!
