Meet the Newest Wallace!!

Well it only took 3 sonograms and a trip to the 3D/4D sonogram place but we were finally able to see that we are having a.........

GIRL!!!!

Was there really any doubt (for me and Paul - no) but everything is on track and this baby is healty and where she should be - growing like a weed! We are very happy and relieved that the doc said she's healthy and there's no apparent health problems. The girls were with us when we found out and they were jumping all over the place saying "It's a GIRL, it's a GIRL!" and then they'd stop jumping around and look at us and ask if we were sure it was a girl and once we'd say yes they'd start the jumping all over again. Paige and Maddie are both very excited and have told me they will help me with everything - except diapers :)

We've decided on a name, Riley Sloane, Paul picked Riley and I picked Sloane and we have already been saying Riley this and Riley that and Maddie and Paige both talk to my stomach and call her Riley! I can't wait to meet this little lady in person and hold her in my arms. Paul and the girls are ready to snuggle up with her too! Paige and Maddie will be the best big sisters and they're so cute and excited about Baby Riley! Paul of course will be the best dad (he already is to our first two babies) and he had been taking seriously great care of me. I literally don't have to lift a finger and he just wants to take care of me constantly - I love him more than anything!! I'm too lucky :)

Here are some pictures of Baby Riley from our 3D session although she didn't really want to cooperate that day either - hmmmmm wonder what this is saying for her when she's out here with us!

She's shy - or she just can't be bothered!

Baby Riley side-shot....

We all think she's singing into her "microphone"

I'm 28, I'm 28, I'm 28........

at least for a few more hours. I'm about to officially enter the last year of my 20's - and I don't know how I feel about that. As my mom likes to say quite often - It beats the alternative - thanks Mom that always makes me feel better :) I always thought I'd be super depressed about turning 29 because the big 3-0 was then just around the corner, but I feel ok about it (I think I do because I'm still actually 28 until 2:52pm tomorrow). 29 should be a great year - a wonderful husband who takes better care of me than I ever could have imagined and who is so laid-back to my crazy emotional self, my 2 beautiful little girls that I just look at in amazement every day and marvel at the fact that I had a part in making these wonderful little girls, and another little girl on the way that I can't wait to meet and be mommy to! I'm looking forward to 29 and even to my 30's - it can only get better and better!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

My wonderful family took great care of me yesterday and I didn't have to lift a finger! Paul made me a great breakfast and brought it to me in bed then waited on me all day :) He's such a great husband!! The kids were great too ;)

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!! I'm actually 2 days late in this post but my mind's shot lately :) It was a low-key affair this year due to being a million months pregnant with dinner and cake at home afterwards - family time (which I like the best). Dinner was good, cake was GREAT - chocolate cake with fudge icing YUM!! but best of all was just getting to be with Paul and the girls as we all celebrated another year together and Paul's birthday also starts the continuous roll of Wallace birthday's. Mine is next with Maddie's in June, Paige's in July, and baby will be born in August - YIKES!! We like to keep everything close together! So back on track - Happy Birthday to the best husband and daddy!! Hopefully this will be one of the best years ever! Love you!!
