Only One More Week...

Hi Everyone ~

Just wanted to give you the latest update on my getting to meet my sibling. I am SO excited. Daddy & Mommy went to the doctor on Friday, and they had another ultrasound of the baby. And, the baby is very big! The baby estimated at weighing 9 pounds, 3 ounces on Friday, which means that in the next week and a half, the baby potentially could gain another pound (or 2!!). So, Daddy & Mommy talked to the doctor, and they are going to have a C-section on Wednesday, July 2. So, in one week from today, I get to finally meet my baby sibling. Please be praying for them and for the doctors. Daddy & Mommy are ready, but they are also a little anxious. I am looking forward to spending time my Opa & Oma, Nana & Poppy, and maybe a few friends while Daddy & Mommy are in the hospital, but I am really excited about being able to be home and help Mommy out with the new baby.

We'll keep you posted on my becoming a big sister and meeting my baby sibling.

Until then, have a wonderful week!

Me, My Daddy, & My Mommy

Here I am... 2 1/2 years old. Just wanted you to see how much I've grown while Mommy has been growing too! :)

Happy Father's Day to "my Daddy" as I call him. He is the best Daddy in the whole world!!

I love you, my Daddy!!

And, here is Mommy...36 weeks along with my baby sibling. We're only 3 weeks away from due date (the picture was taken last week) and 2 weeks away from a C-section. The baby is measuring really big (predicted to be over 10 pounds), so the doctor may have to do a C-section to help Mommy and the baby. We'll find out about how big the baby is and if Mommy has to have a C-section on Friday when Daddy & Mommy go in for another ultrasound. But, don't worry...they won't peek and find out what we're having. They've waited too long to look now. We're all SO very excited. I can't wait to meet the baby. I am going to be a great big sister (& a little mother in case Mommy needs me! :))

Ray's with my friend, Tommy

I got to go to Ray's Splash Planet (an indoor water park) one last time before the baby is born. I went with my good friend, Tommy. We had the best time together...I love Ray's!

We played and jumped in the water together...we laughed a lot! It was so fun!
My buddy, Tommy, and his Daddy & Mommy had to move back to Michigan this past week, and I am sure going to miss him. We spent a lot of time together in the last year and a half. But, we each have a blog, so I'll be able to keep in touch with him that way...and when we visit each other. I am so glad that his Mommy and my Mommy got to be good friends...Tommy and I had so much fun playing together at Ray's, the park, the pool, each other's houses and eating many lunches at Chic-Fil-A & McDonald's!! :)

Professional Bowling Practice

My Daddy & Mommy took me bowling for the first time...and I am already a professional! So, I was really just practicing for when I go pro! It was a lot of fun.

Check me out...I'm ready to start!

Check out my cool shoes! I am SO excited!

Since I get my good bowling genes from my Daddy, he helped me. Plus, he enjoys bowling! (And, Mommy had to take the pictures and she is carrying my baby sibling!!)

My favorite part was watching the ball come up from the machine. I got so excited every time!

I was doing a pretty good job...thank goodness for those bumpers that help the ball stay in the lane!

Daddy & Me ~ He's my bowling hero!

Mommy & Me
Trying it all by myself...not too bad, huh? :)
High fives with Daddy for a job well done!!
Check out my score...I had the best time!

Introducing...my new cousin!

Hi Everyone...Guess what? My Uncle Blair & Aunt "Blip Blip" (Brittany) had their baby a week ago, and I am SO excited about my very first Karaffa cousin! I went to see McKinly Gibson in the hospital with my Daddy the day McKinly was born, but I was in such awe and wasn't quite ready to hold him! But, Daddy & Mommy went back later than evening and got to hold him. I decided to wait a week before I decided to hold him...

So, here is my Daddy (Uncle Joey to McKinly) holding McKinly!

And, here is that cutie pie!
Daddy & Mommy with McKinly...sure makes them very excited about meeting my baby sibling soon!
Then, yesterday, when McKinly was 1 week old, I decided I REALLY wanted to hold him. So, we went to visit Uncle Blair & Aunt Blip Blip, and they let me hold him. I was SO excited! With Daddy's help, I was holding my cousin...how fun!
I even gave him a little kiss...okay lots of kisses. He's so cute! It's so fun to be the big cousin to him :)

Daddy goes to the race, and Mommy & me stay at home. We get to have a "girls night." I got to have my fingernails painted for the first time. I loved it. Surprisingly, I sat very still while Mommy painted. Now, I LOVE them! Isn't it so cute?

Showing off my fingernails! :) I showed everyone for the whole next week!Look what happens when...

Mommy is 34 weeks pregnant and carrying around my baby sibling that is estimated at already weighing 8 pounds, 2 ounces. Looks like my sibling will be a very big baby! We'll find out in less than 5 weeks! I am so excited!

Mommy is getting ready to have her 2nd baby and turn 30 in September...gotta change to the mini...Actually, I love it...we all do! I tell everyone I see about my new car...my family, my neighbors, random people at the grocery store, the waitress at IHOP, etc. :) I have so much more room, and Daddy & Mommy say we'll save more on gas!

Check me out in my new car!
