I am going to try another method of sharing photos (thanks Susan for the suggestion) that hopefully will be easier/faster for me!
Here are the latest pictures of sweet little Addy! You will notice she has gotten some very curly hair (awesome) which definitely didn't come from me!
Also, my dad and Brett's dad are building a beautiful playhouse for Addy. Brett's dad isn't in the photos because he was off gallivanting in London for Phase 1 of the building. Just because he isn't in the pictures, doesn't mean he isn't involved!

Gender?
I had another Dr.'s appt. last week. Nothing out of the ordinary, just the regular pregnancy check up. Baby Bera's heartbeat was strong and the pregnancy is proceeding along normally! No ultrasounds this time, but we did get to schedule our Level II ultrasound for June 10th. That means we get to find out the gender and the ultrasound tech will have a good look and make sure everything looks "normal". Be sure to take the Gender poll (guess the sex of this baby) under Addy's picture on the right. Sorry there will be no prizes for correct guesses!!
Brett and I took Adelyn to this Zoo this past weekend! It was a lot of fun. She got to see a Giraffes (and had a chance to feed one, but was a little freaked out by its tongue), monkeys, elephants, turtles (tortises), zebras, and a polar bear! She was still talking about it this morning on our drive to meet Meemaw! She really likes to name the animals that she saw and I think her favorite was the turtles!! There are no pictures from the zoo, but here is one from a few months ago that I absolutely love!

Mindless jibberish...
Well, while I sit here at work on Saturday, bored to tears, I realize the reality of a second child hasn't hit me yet. I don't think I truly grasp how different it is going to be to care for two children at once. I will actually have to choose which child's cry is more "important". I asked Brett last night, "What if I am nursing Baby #2, and Addy needs lunch?", Brett answered simply "Addy will have to wait". Okay, yeah that makes sense. Then I asked him "What if I am nursing Baby #2 and Addy falls and hurts herself?", again he answered simply "Baby #2 will have to wait".
I know to you all that may sound silly but to me it is a scary thought. How in the world am I going to juggle two little angels (I say this in hopes that #2 is as much of an angel as Addy)? Now I am a little scared. I never really have to tell Addy to wait. How will she adjust to no longer being numero uno? How will I adjust if she doesn't adjust well? Don't get me wrong, I am over the moon with excitement for our newest addition. I think I am just begining to start thinking about the reality of it all.

13 weeks pregnant, Hello Second Trimester!!
Man oh man has a lot of time passed since my first entry. Now I see why It took me so long to start a blog, I am horrible at finding the time to send out updates!! ><>
I am working 2-3 days a week (it has been slow) and rarely getting paid for it!! I am full commission so If I don't sign any contracts I don't get paid. I finally signed one last week, yea me!! The current feelings about the economy have really affected my industry.
Brett - Thankfully the economy is not having the same effect on Brett's industry. Brett is working hard and doing very well in his business. He and a couple of coworkers are taking a one night/one day trip to Las Vegas next week as a reward for some pretty tough goals they set (and achieved) for themselves last month!! He is very happy and having a good time with the group in his office. He is very challenged and motivated by a couple of his coworkers and he really thrives in that environment. Good job Brett, thanks for being my sugar daddy for the last several months!!
Addy - Our little girl is doing awesome! She is such a funny and sweet little thing!! The other day I was walking through the living room and tripped (didn't fall) on her slide and she started giggling at me!! If you do something silly she will tilt her head to the side and say "mommy" (or daddy) with this little endearing tone in her voice. Addy looooves to dance. Last weekend we went to a wedding and reception of some of our good tfriends. They are hispanic and most of the music was latin inspired and Addy danced for 2 hours straight. She dances at home, but something about this type of music really made her want to boogie! It was awesome, so fun to watch. There were also lots of strobe lights and lights on the floor. She danced and danced and chased the lights. She was having so much fun! Towards the end she was running out of steam but still wanted to dance and be part of the action, so she just laid down in the middle of the dance floor! Needless to say she slept great that night!! Below is a recent picture of her wearing a sunhat that she previously was unwilling to wear!
As a family, these days our favorite pastime is our weekly walks to the grocery store (Starbucks, for Iced Green Tea) and then to one of the many play areas in our neighborhood. We get going early and gather ourselves, our Izzy, some drinks and snacks and we are off. I can't wait to share that with our next Little Stein! Last night Brett's parents came over to watch Addy while Brett and I went on a date!! We went to see Stomp (which was really, really good) and have dinner at our favorite restaurant Cafe Poca Cosa (thanks to Brett's parents for treating us to the lovely meal). Yum yum yum!
Holly - I am feeling great this pregnancy, my only complaint would be tiredness. It is not worse than last time, but harder because now I have Adelyn to tend to (meaning chase around) and can't take a nap whenever I want!! So far baby Bera (that is what we are calling the baby in utero) is doing well and I am having no complications. Woo hoo! Here is a current photo of our little one!!
