What a weekend!!!

Well, we had a very eventful weekend. On Thursday, our niece, Danslen Jane Connell, made her entrance into the world. She is absolutely perfect in every way. I have pictures I will post later...when I can find my camera cord. :-/ For now, I will have to steal a pic off my SIL's blog. Hope you don't mind Danica. :-)

As you can see, I have two of the most beautiful nieces anyone could ever ask for.

Then, Thursday night Daniley came home to spend the night with us, and boy did we have fun. I might add that this was a very successful sleep over. YAY!!!

When we got home we had so many fun things we wanted to do. I had planned to dye Easter eggs, make Easter cupcakes, let her get a bubble bath - one of her favorite things to do, etc. Well, by the time we got home it was around 5:00pm. I knew we wouldn't have time to do everything, so we scratched cupcakes from the list. After we ate supper we headed to the bath tub. I always let her fill it up pretty high, and then she is allowed to do as much splashing around as she wants. You are always supposed to be able to get away with stuff at your Aunt Brooke and Unc's house that you can't do at home. :-) By the time I was able to pry her out of the tub, she looked like a prune.

We then headed to the kitchen to get the eggs ready. I let her help with every step of the process. She filled up the boiler with water and insisted on using the sprayer. Needless to say, The side of the fridge go a few good washings that night. LOL!! The we dropped the eggs into the boiler and put them on the stove. Then it came time to dye them. I think she would have dyed them all pink if I would have let her. She did very well for a two-and-a-half year old. I think she dropped five eggs (out of 24) and spilled one bowl of dye. In the end we all had a ton of fun, which is really all that matters. :-)

On Easter, the family met back up at Danica's to ooh and aww over the new baby, Danslen. Oh yeah, we also ate a delicious lunch and let Daniley hunt her Easter eggs. We all had so much fun.

After that, Danson and I went to my Meemaw's house and ate dessert with my side of the family. There are now two precious little babies, Brayden and Colton - and one on the way, mine. There is never a dull moment around there now.

BIG, BIG NEWS!!!

On Monday morning Danson, Mom and I went to the doctor to find out what the baby is. Danson and I just knew that it was a boy. We have only talked about a boy, only thought of boy names, only looked at boy nurseries, etc. Well, we should have been thinking girl because....... It's a Girl!!! Even though we both wanted a boy, we are still very excited that Bentley will be making her debut around September 21, 2011!!

More pictures will be added when I find my camera cord. :-)

Update

Okay, I know that I have not posted in a long time and I am very sorry. Here is an up date on what is going on around the Thornburg house. The thing that occupies most of our attention is this pregnancy. Shocking, I know! I am 18 weeks pregnant. Here is a picture of my belly I took last night:

HaHaHa!! Just joking! I'm not showing a pregnant belly, just a fat one so far!! We find out the sex of the baby next Monday (4/25) so we are really excited about that. Danson is so set on it being a boy. I'm afraid he might have to seek out counseling if they tell us it is a girl.

I have not been sick a single time! My sister-in-law says it is so unfair. LOL! The only complaint about pregnancy so far is I have headaches almost daily.

The only complaint Danson has is that I am very lazy and don't cook enough. :-0

So far I would say this pregnancy has been a breeze. I am very blessed. I think that since God shocked me with this pregnancy two months after being married, He thought, "The least I could do is make it easy on her." Or at least that's how I like to see it.

Other than the pregnancy we still have the same routine. We are getting very excited for our niece, Danslen Jane Connell, to make her arrival any day.

We are also counting down the days until our nephew, Brayden Thomas Hutton, celebrates his first birthday.

 I am a little sad that they grow up so fast, but I am very thankful that I am around to see them all the time and watch them grow up with my very own eyes instead of through pictures.

 Oh no, I'm crying... that is one thing that I do a lot now that I'm pregnant.
