Round 2

Sienna Grace is going to be a big sister!! The Gipson family will be adding a member to the family in February! We are beyond thrilled and cannot wait to meet our new baby...in about 6 months! (I'm 12 weeks along right now).

We found out 1 week after we moved into our new home :)

Surprise face!

Our serious little girl. This was the day we told our family!

Baby Gipson #2 (due Feb.3, 2013)

Sienna is very excited about having a baby, although I know she has NO clue what that truly means yet. She is obsessed with baby dolls- feeding them, walking them, giving them a bath, and trying to change diapers (which is probably my favorite- she walks over, gets out a changing pad, takes out a wipe, wipes the baby, and then tries to put a diaper on...but ends up needing help from mommy and daddy with the diaper). So, although she loves her babies right now, and she loves real babies when she sees them, I know it will be different for her own sibling that is at our home 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week, (but I feel optimistic that she'll be a big helper and love on the baby most of the time). Sienna loves lifting my shirt (or dress--yikes!!) and looking at my belly and saying, "Shhh...baby ni-nights." Then she'll lift up her shirt and point to the baby in her belly :).

Along with the blessing of another baby, comes the morning sickness! I was sick for about 6 months with Sienna and I am really hoping that it doesn't last that long this time. I have not been throwing up nearly as much as I did with Sienna, but I am nauseous much more often. I do throw up every morning now and Sienna loves it. Yes, that's right...Sienna loves it when I throw up. She laughs and says, "Mommy, mo (more). Mo, mommy!" Awesome. She likes to imitate me throwing up while it's happening, which, definitely makes me smile while I'm hugging the toilet. I can't help but laugh.

There was a day last week, however, that she did not like it. I was starting to get her something to drink and I had to run to the bathroom. She followed me in there and said, "No mo mommy. I want yuce (juice). No mo....no mo mommy." I swear to you, she grabbed toilet paper, gave it to me, flushed the toilet, and was pulling me away...as I was continuing to throw up. It was really funny. Even though I do not like being sick (it's especially hard with a busy toddler), it is so worth it and I will gladly take it, knowing there will be a little baby at the end of this!

I will continue to update you throughout our pregnancy, so check back sometime soon!

We can't wait to see this sweet girl as a BIG SISTER! 

How is it possible that our sweet Sienna is going to be 2 in a little over a month??? 

Time has gone by WAY too fast!
