Branson Trip

Clint got home at 2:00am Wednesday morning and we were in Branson by noon that day. Yeah, talk about a busy day! We stayed in a condo that was actually very convenient. We had a bedroom and my sister and her family had a bedroom. It worked out great because we could put the girls to bed, shut the door, and go watch a movie in the living room! My parents had to sleep on the sleeper sofa and had very little privacy, so I felt sorry for them, but not enough to trade them rooms! Ha!

Ainsley LOVED spending so much time with her baby cousin, Hailey. She was not jealous at all and was very sweet with the baby. She loved to dance for Hailey and sing to her. And especially loved giving her toys to play with. Here's a picture of both the girls having their milk...

This was taken the first day we got there. It was a little late when we got in that night, and very windy, but our balcony overlooked the playground. Well, you know I just couldn't fight that battle! The pictures are terrible, but it was super dark and they were all action shots. Here's Ainsley racing Mimi down the slide!

What should I play with next?

Both the girls were giggling as they rolled this toy back and forth to each other! It was so cute! This is my mom and sister.

I didn't get many pictures, considering we were there for 4 days. We had some great photo opportunities of the girls swimming together too, but my batteries were dead in my camera. My dad got several pictures, so maybe I can post some of his later. It was just so fun letting the girls spend this much time together and really bond. I think it will make the holidays even more fun now that they've already warmed up to each other. Ainsley slept pretty good too, but insisted on sleeping in a pack 'n' play. She wanted to sleep in "Ainsley's wittle bed". She took 2 hour naps and slept about 10 hours at night. It wasn't nearly as much as she sleeps at home, but I was happy considering we were in a hotel! It made me feel better about traveling for the holidays. Hopefully she'll do just as good!

And, lastly, this is probably a good opportunity for me to tell you all that I'm pregnant! It has become very hard to hide lately. Luckily, I've been out of town the last couple of weeks so very few people have seen me, but I don't think there's any hiding it now! I just wanted to wait to tell everyone until we were out of the first trimester. We've had 2 ultrasounds and everything looks good so far! My official due date is May 3, but the ultrasounds showed April 30. And since I'll be having a C-section again it will definitely be an April baby. I think Ainsley is going to be a great big sister! We're watching a little 2 month old tomorrow so I guess we'll see how it goes with a tiny one. We haven't said anything to her yet, and we don't plan to for another couple of months. She already thinks she has a baby in her tummy (because she felt the baby in Zoe's momma's tummy kick) so I'll just let her concentrate on that for now. :)
