Getting Ready for Baby #2 - less than a week away!

I had my pre-op doctor's appointment this morning and both me and the baby are cleared for surgery on Tuesday, May 3rd. We report to the hospital at 6AM, and the C-section will start at 8AM if all goes as planned. Of course the baby could always come earlier. . . and thanks to a couple vacation days and lots of "nesting". . . the Courtney household is ready for baby #2! Even Macy got into the fun of getting ready, she insisted on trying out everything we took out for the baby. And even though she is a little young to fully grasp the concept of a baby in mommy's belly, she has started to touch my belly and kiss it and say baby. . . super cute! Although she also pulls up her shirt and says baby too so I guess she doesn't fully understand!!! :)


Macy taking a trip down memory lane in her old car seat and testing out the baby's pacifier.


Trying out the baby bath tub. . . Macy made us keep this in the living room for a whole week so she could watch TV from the tub!


The nursery. . . Greg made me promise no "GIRL" themes. . . that was a tough one since he outlawed pink and purple but I think it came out pretty good!


Macy has been wanting to be rocked to sleep again now so we have been using the rocker in "sister's room". Hmmm. . . wonder what other baby traits she will take on again when the baby comes!


Wall decal. . . I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

Easter 2011

We had a nice quiet Easter this year. Macy loved all of the activities and Easter fun. Here are some photos from the weekend.


Greg got Macy Easter flowers and she was so excited. . . she kept telling me "Daddy flowered me"! Even two year-old girls love flowers!!!


Our church had Easter activities on Saturday including crafts and an Egg Hunt. Macy loved the bunny ears she made!


Mommy helping with a egg frame.


Nana Mary helping with another craft. . . Macy really got into it!


Wasn't sure Macy would get the hang of an Egg Hunt but she had so much fun! Each kid was only allowed to get 8 eggs so I had to walk behind her putting the eggs back on the grass as she picked them up because she was loving putting them in her basket!!!


More Eggs!


Coloring eggs at home. . . don't believe the packaging when it says it is "spill-proof". . . we all had colored hands!


Pretty Eggs!


Easter morning and Macy's basket of "prizes"


We met Nana at church - Macy ran across the parking lot to meet her. Macy slept through most all of mass - whew!


"Look at my pretty dress Nana!"

Nana surprised us with an Easter Egg Hunt for Macy in the backyard. Macy was showing daddy how it was done!

Macy 2nd Birthday!

Macy turned 2 this past weekend!! Since we already celebrated with her friends the weekend before we just celebrated at home on her birthday. Grandma and Pops Courtney, Grandma Mary and Uncle Chad and Megan came over to celebrate with us. Macy was also spoiled by her out of town Aunts/Uncles and started the day off by opening packages from them. I forgot how cool getting mail/packages is for a child. She was SO excited!!! Thank you to everyone near and far for making her day so special!!!

Side note: at Macy's 2 Year check-up she was 27 lbs (55%) and 36 inches long (85%)! She is getting so big!!!!

"Can we stop taking pictures so I can open my presents???"


I think she loves the act of opening her "prizes" as much as she likes what is inside!
