34 weeks already!

I have been slacking quite a bit on the blog. So much going on!  But here we are.. 34 weeks and still pregnant. I am in a lot of pain and with constant medications and shots but I am hanging in there. McKenna is doing great and we are so ready to meet her!  I had an appt today and I am a little over 1 cm dilated and Dr Hammond said that on October 6th we will stop my medications and let her be born. At the latest she will be here by October 9th. So not too much longer!!  Once I hit the 36 week mark she will send me straight to the hospital and we will have this baby. I still cannot believe we are about to have baby.. it feels like we just had Melanie!!.. I cannot wait and mommy, daddy and big sisters are so excited to meet her!!

Look what she did!

Madison is on summer break from gymnastics (thankfully it was only a week since she had camp last week). She has been practicing at home every single day and the other day while we were playing in the playroom and watching her do cartwheels she said... Look mommy what I can do!!.. she got on her mat and did a bridge and out of the nowhere she got a bridge kickover! I screamed so loud that our neighbors probably thought we won the lottery.. well this was way better than the lottery haha. She did it with no problem and I kept telling her oh my goodness Maddy when did you learn how to do that?!  she kept saying.. right now mommy! haha  She was so proud and she kept saying.. look mom now Im just like my big girls!  (her best buds level 10 team). She has been doing bridge kickovers but she gets them done with the wedge mat but now she can do them flat on the floor!! Im so proud of her!

What can I say?

I have the most talented bestest friend EVER!!!  Kimmi took new pics of the girls and well.. we all know what she does with that camera.. amazing things!!! But my gosh.. this picture made me cry. I am so thankful to have a friend like Kimbo. I am one lucky girl. She took pics of the girls at Palmer Park super nice place and the girls did great!  Although I got attacked by fire ants haha. It was so much fun to see her in action and to see my girls in front of her camera. She is just amazing isnt she??  My babies look so beautiful and Kim has a way of making photography look like a piece of cake!  How does she do that?? I will never know!  I am so thankful that she is there for us to be part of our lives and to capture our best moments in life!... She is also going to be flying to Cali with us to take pictures of my sis and Josh getting married!!  I am sooo looking forward to a weekend of family and to a weekend of having Kimmi there. I want to show her off with the family hehe I talk about her so much and they finally get to meet my Kimbo!... its gonna be so much fun hanging out with her in Cali for the weekend. Here is the sneak peek of the pics she took of the girls.. more to come soon! (gotta give my poor Kim time.. the poor thing has a million sessions in one day.. she is definitely SuperWoman!)

Just like their siblings!

Can you believe this pictures??  The first pic is Ben, Ava and Melanie.. do you know who's on the other pic?? Their older siblings!!  Levi, Allie and Madison!  I love them. I am so grateful to have such amazing friends and that my girls have such amazing little buddies. 

Its official

After a lot of work and thinking we finally came up with a name for our little princess. We dont name our kids after anybody except Matthew and we wanted a name that had an M first of all and that would sound great with the girls names. So her name will be..

McKenna Taylor Larson

20 weeks and 5 days Ultrasound

Thats right!  More pics!  We had an ultrasound yesterday. I will be 21 weeks tomorrow (wednesday). Time sure its flying by!  I am starting to have problems again with contractions and preterm labor so I have been put on a very large dose of medications on top of the weekly shots. Everything looks good so far and the baby looks great! Here are some more pics of her little face!  She is so cute! I cannot wait to meet our little princess.

18 weeks and 5 days Ultrasound pictures

We had our 18 weeks Ultrasound on June 8th. On that day we found out our baby is a girl!.. another little princess. Well, that day the printer was broken so we couldnt get any pictures. The tech saved the pictures in the hard drive so we could have them later and well I had an appointment yesterday and she gave us a ton of pics. Here are the pics of our ultrasound. 18 weeks and 5 days!  Isnt she adorable? and she definitely looks like her brother and sisters. Same mouth and nose!
