We Have The Crib!!

James and Abbie worked really hard to get the crib all put together this weekend. I think it looks beautiful.

We Have Paint!

James and his Mom spent the day Monday painting the nursery for our little girl. The colors are so fun and bright.

Our Little Gymnast

As we were getting ready today for gymnastics class, it occurred to me that Abbie is some glitter make-up and too much hair gel away from looking like a professional gymnast! Check out that shiny leotard...all it needs is some rhinestones!!!

Just another 10.0 day Being Billingsley...

Abbie's First Bar Fight

I had the pleasure of going out with the girls last night for a nice dinner and a chance to catch up with my good friends Brandi and Anna. It was a wonderful night! While I was livin' it up with the ladies, Abbie apparently hit the bars...


Well, Abbie clearly had one too many last night and apparently got into quite the brawl as evidenced by the wound on her face. She also seems a little hungover this morning as well...waking up at 10:00 this morning!


She didn't seem too worried about her shank scar once we were able to get some foolproof hangover treatment this morning... oatmeal with apples and peanut butter.


She assured me that she could make the gash "work." Apparently, all you need to do is put a hand through your hair and work up your best beauty pageant smile, and the people around you will simply say, "Knife wound? What knife wound?"

2.0's 20 Week Sonogram

Well, today was the big day! James and I headed downtown to have our big sonogram.

2.0 was healthy in every way. The sono took an entire hour because this baby was not cooperative at all! I remember when we had this sonogram with Abbie, and she was so willing to show us and the sonographer everything we needed to see. This baby...not so much. However, the baby is cute and has a GIANT head just like Abbie did.

We also learned that this baby is a sweet baby girl! So, as James said walking out the door, let the fight over her name begin! Somehow I think I'll win...what do you guys think?

Just another exciting day Being Billingsley...

Princess Abigail

We took pics for her birthday party invitations, and she wanted to be a princess. So, she wore the tiara I wore in my wedding, and she gave us several of her "best shots."

When we were done, she wanted to know if she was "going to Hollywood." I think the princess is confusing two of Mommy's shows.

Just another royal day Being Billingsley...
