Since it's Valentine's day, I guess I should share a little of the love that's filling our lives right now.
I hear there are friends out there that didn't know we are preggo, so here's another announcement- We're pregnant with number 2! We are having girl whom we are naming Tiegan Luisa Bowman. We decided that we are going to name our children after a grandparent, to carry on a family name and so that they can have someone to look to as an example in their lives as they grow up. Since Jada was named after my Mom (Lynn is my Mom's middle name and Luisa is Carmen's middle name) This one is being named after her Abuela! At first we were going with Tiegan Carmin, but it felt wrong since it's not exactly Carmen's name (one of her aunts goes by Carmin) so Tiegan Luisa it is. Actually Carmen pointed out that she was named after her Father, so in reality Tiegan will be named after her Abuela and her Bis Abuelo. The name Tiegan wasn't even on the radar, but I decided to check out one of the websites that gives names, meanings and origins and I found out that Tiegan is Aztec and means little princess in a big valley! How could I resist that?! Way too cute! http://www.momswhothink.com/baby-girl-names/baby-girl-names-a-to-z-listing.html
I am currently at 33 weeks and I am tired of the hippo-like....ness :) Jada is kind enough to remind me on a daily basis how big I am. Little Sweet Heart. She is finally getting to the point that she knows she is going to be a big sister. It started when I ran out of things to put Jada's out grown clothes into so we pulled out the baby clothes. And Jada became so excited that she and her baby sister both have stripped dresses and and flower dresses and polk-a-dot dresses etc. So She is now very excited to have baby Tiegan join us! She likes to tell me that I have a baby in my big tummy and she has a baby in her little tummy. Of course she is kind enough to emphasize the 'big' part :) she's so honest.
Jada was a spoiled 3 year old this year and received $10 for Christmas from her Great Grandpa, plus another $20 from him for her birthday. And with the gift from Grandma McCombs she got a $5 gift card to Target. So on top of the ponies she was able to get she also got to buy herself some slippers.
There was a Saturday that Daniel and I were SOOO sick and Jada was amazing and completely fended for herself all day. Well, on Sunday she needed attention and was sticking her ice cold feet on my back, so I told her to either put socks on or slippers. She perked right up and said "Mom, I don't have any slippers! We need to go to the store right NOW!" I had to explain that we don't go shopping on Sunday's because it's Heavenly Father's day.
So on Monday, Jada I went to Walmart- no slippers, then Target- no slippers. Jada was NOT about to leave Target without slippers, so in order to save myself I told her we could go look at the princess store (the Disney store). And there we found them, purple Rapunzel slippers. Jada was so happy with her purchase! So in this picture she is showing off her slippers. I wish I could get the video to work because before this picture was taken she was dancing around making sure that her slippers were the center of attention :) I'll have to see if Daniel can help me get it to work later because watching Jada dance is one of the best things about being a mom :) lol please ignore the toilet paper in the background ;)
One of the things I don't have any pictures of is how good Daniel is to me. Last night he was reading some books to Jada and I just fell asleep. It was around 8:00 which is WAY early for me and the next thing I know He is putting her to bed and it's close to 10:00. It wasn't my intention to fall asleep but it's great having a husband who is more than willing to take care of our daughter because I fell asleep. Not to mention that dinner was cleaned up when I came down stairs this morning :) I couldn't ask for a better hubby!
