Big News & Big Changes!

I realized recently that I failed to mention on our family blog our big news! Our family will welcome a new baby in late January and we are all so thrilled! The girls were so excited when we told them we were having a baby! This baby is so blessed to have two of the best big sisters anyone could ever want! Gabriella and Adriana are bursting at the seams to meet our newest family member and it melts David and my hearts to hear them speak with such anticipation and love about the baby. 

I am currently 19.5 weeks pregnant and growing, what feels like, everyday! We have decided to wait to learn the baby's gender until its birth. I had a sonogram on Thursday and all looks good. Of course we were tempted to want to know the gender but we held off and are so happy we did! We think it will be so exciting to hear the big announcement in the delivery room.

With this new change for our family we have been preparing for many transitions. This past week we began the first transformation, which was getting Adriana out of the crib and sleeping in a big girl bed. She has done remarkably well and we are so proud of her! I also want to note that she is completely potty-trained! So many important milestones these last couple months. She will turn 3 years old in just a few weeks, which I just can't believe! 

Adriana picked out her bedding and she chose a purple and yellow theme with accents of pink, blue and green. Her room turned out really well after we painted an accent wall purple (her bedroom was already yellow). She inherited Gabby's bedroom furniture and now that Gabby is older we purchased a very nice furniture set for her that she will have for a very long time.

What a big girl!

 Gabby is a wonderful role model for Adriana on how to be a great big sister! This baby is so blessed to have these two little girls be an important part of his/her life!
