Big Sister!

I know that I've been really bad about updating the blog in a timely matter but I must say that I've been a little preoccupied, to say the least... as most of you have already heard, Madison is going to be a big sister!!

We feel sooooo blessed to be pregnant again... after everything we went through trying to have Madison, we feel so lucky that we were able to get pregnant again so quickly and easily! 

It was the morning of Sept 7th when we (Madison and I) found out I was expecting.  I didn't want to just call and tell Deven over the phone, so we had to wait ALL DAY before we could share the exciting news.  Madison and I wanted to do something special, so we went to store after store after store to find a "BIG SISTER" shirt, however, I couldn't find any in her size... Finally I found one, it was WAY too big, but looked super cute on her anyway.

Once Deven came home, Madison walked out to the living room wearing her shirt and holding the (positive) pregnancy test (in a sealed plastic bag).  Deven picked her up, read her shirt, looked at me and said "YOU'RE PREGNANT! - I TOLD YOU!" haha.

Sadly, right after we told Deven the good news, Madison started acting up and ended up having a very high fever... so we quickly undressed her to cool her off.  Since we didn't have time to take a pic of her wearing the shirt, once she fell asleep we laid it on top of her and took the pic.  We sent this pic to the parents and shared our exciting news!

A few weeks later, we had our first Dr. appt and got to finally see our little baby!  By that time, I was able to find another Big Sister shirt (in her size)- so Madison was dressed for the occasion!

During the ultrasound, we were actually able to also hear the baby's heartbeat!  It was so cute, because while it was beating, Madison was looking right at the screen and saying,

"HEWWO??  HEWWO??"

She was just as excited as we were!

TWO KIDS!  

I'm already in love <3

P.S. Baby Lightner's expected arrival is April 26th!
