Haven't Met You Yet

......by Michael Buble is my favorite song right now! And it reminds me of the precious in my belly! I heard the song on the way to Austin one morning (after getting the CD for my Momma for Christmas!) and it made me so happy. And that morning the baby was just jumping around in my belly. I added it to my playlist below.
So here we go......



I'm not surprised,

Not everything lasts,

I've broken my heart

so many times

I stopped keeping track.

Talk myself in,

I talk myself out,

I get all worked up,

Then I let myself down,



I tried so very hard not to lose it;

I came up with a million excuses,

I thought I thought of every possibility,



And I know some day that it’ll all turn out,

You'll make me work so we can work to work it out,

And I promise you kid that I give so much more than I get~ mmm.......

I just haven't met you yet.



Mmmmm ....



I might have to wait,

I’ll never give up,

I guess it's half timin',

and the other half's luck,

Wherever you are,

Whenever it's right,

You'll come outta nowhere and into my life.



And I know that we can be so amazin',

And baby your love is gonna change me,

And now I can see every possibility, mmmmmm....



Somehow I know that it’ll all turn out,

You'll make me work so we can work to work it out,

And promise you kid,

I'll give so much more than I get,

mmmm....

I just haven't met you yet.



They say all’s fairin love and war

But I won’t need to fight it,

we'll get it right an',we'll be united

and I know that we can be so amazin',

And bein' in your life is gonna change me,

And now I can see every single possibility,

mmmmmm



And someday I know it'll all turn out,

And I'll work to work it out,

Promise you kid I’ll give more than I get

Than I get, than I get, than I get.

Oh, you know it'll all turn out,and you'll make me work so we can work to work it out,

And promise you kid to give so much more than I get, yeahI just haven't met you yet.



I just haven't met you yet,

Oh, promise you kid,

To give so much more than I get.



I said love love love love love love love.....

I just haven't met you yet

Love love love .....

So doy day ay ay ay, ay ay yeah

I just haven't met you yet!

Cute Things She Says!

I am just trying to document Miss Laney Kate and the precious things that come out of her mouth! I can't help but think half the time she is a child prodigy; I'm certain all parents feel this way. But lately Miss LK says things like:



1. You're Doing so Good! (how we tell her when we are proud of her for all she does)

2. I want "White" milk or I want "Chocolate"

3. Look Mommy lights, they are so booiful! (this began around Christmas)

4. Its eleven thirty (anytime of the day when I talk about what time it is)

5. It's okay; I got you (cuddling/holding me)

6. It's a Boy! It's a Boy in there! (She squeals this to my belly and it is too cute)

7. You're my heart beat Mommy (melts me still)

8. Clean up, everybody helping (song for cleaning up)

9. I want to go poo poo (really, want to?!)

10. I want trees (brocolli)

11. I want some beans (Edameme)

12. She labels all pictures of animals in different sizes "Daddy, Mommy, and Baby"

13. I miss you (WHEN she is up to or has done something mischevious!)

14. Mommy sit down, lay down, hold me, I want you, - B-O-S-S-Y!

15. My Mommy/My Daddy (anytime we are showing affection she catches it and wants in the middle!)

16. I learned the Letter A!

17. Can I hold you?

18. I'm not happy; I want to cry (when she gets her feelings hurt)

19. I'm calling Mickey or I'm calling Leswee

20. I'm really really really cold..... BRRRRR, I need a jacket (with arms around herself)

Constant Cravings

Here at the end of pregnancy, my cravings have been the most intense. At the beginning it was anything I could keep down; which was not health food! But now the "needs" consist of:

Sonic Ice- which could be pica. Awesome.

Frozen Edameme

Dibs Drumstick

Bananas

Oatmeal- Rolled Oats and sometimes dry. Strange I know.

But I am almost done and am so curious if I will still eat as much of these things once the baby is here. I guess we shall see soon enough!

Quick Update

We had our last sonogram on Wednesday and we got to see the little precious! The picture is a little blurred but you can see the face, looks just like Laney did in there to me! And I am getting so excited and so ready; my lips are already swelling! But I have a major jealous bone for people who get to have their babies early. Because ours apparently already weighs 6 lbs 9 oz from the sonogram so the doctor is just going to keep an eye and we will hope baby comes by due date. What this means is another big baby for the Crowell family! I loved it that Laney was so healthy and pink but truthfully I am most nervous about the vacuum again. So, I am praying for a safe delivery and most of all a healthy baby!

And we have been doing Brittney's Letter Ideas to learn the alphabet. We are starting with "A" and Laney absolutely loved our coloring and this letter. I am excited to do this, thanks for all the clever and fun ideas! We used the words: Apple Ape Alligator Alamo Airplane El Arco Iris and Ant and drew all of them! We will see how this week progresses with other fun "A" stuff!

Then we picked out A stickers to put on the board.

We found her in our room in Daddy's boots the other day playing. She is hilarious!

Pink or Blue?

It is getting down to the wire. Well, it feels like it anyway. Not down to the wire enough and I still need some finish up last minute things time.

Anyway, I wanted to have a going home outfit for the baby but clearly have to cover both genders. And I wanted the outfits to match! I know I am not pregnant with two but I felt like I was cheating one if they didn't have a similar outfit. Ridiculous, I know.

I could have gone way more frilly if we are having a girl and for a boy; well I think a lot of choices are too feminine and this one felt just right. I feel good about these footies since the baby will be born in February; or should be. And these are for 0-3 months since we tend to have big babies in this family!

I'd love to know what you think the baby will wear home-

??????????PINK BLUE??????????

Baby Pics with Laney

Laney and I took pre baby pictures with Morgan and I love the ones I have seen! I waited way long too take these but I love that I have them to remember with my little heart beat. I cannot wait to see her with her brother or sister, she is going to be such an amazing big sister! And for a few more weeks we are enjoying just us..

Love Laney's face in this one!

She was calling me when I went to go change clothes real quick. She is too hilarious and loves the faux phone conversations.



This is my favorite one with her holding the belly and looking up at me.....

More to come....

Just Us

We had a girl's day on Saturday; just me and Lanes. We woke up, had Taco Garage breakfast tacos and got ready to go get our nails done. I was so excited about the day ahead of us but did not realize how much fun it would be!

Getting our manicures she was quite compliant and picked out green! I had planned on matching her but just couldn't force myself to paint green. And she got two cute little white flowers on her thumbs. I can't believe how still she sat for the manicurist! I think we might go back for a pedicure soon and have her sit in the panda or kitty cat chair for kids!

We then headed to La Cantera to have lunch at Mariposa at Neiman's. And she has always loved the butterflies since she was a baby and was in awe over them that hang down over the escalators.

Drinking her broth; and mine too. And eating her pop over with yummy strawberry butter!


Then I took her to her first movie. We've been watching Annie a lot lately and kept singing "Let's Go to the Movies". Then she'd bust out with "dumb dumb dumb dog". It's pretty hilarious hearing her sing this. We went to the Palladium IMAX and she kept calling it a castle.

Laney had her "CopCorn" and a kid's snack pack. We saw The Princess and the Frog. I wasn't sure what to expect but ended up really enjoying Disney's cartoon movie. And we made it through the entire thing! I considered this a success!

It was so much fun just me and my heart beat. I wanted to have special time with her before baby is here and it was the best day. I hope we have another one soon!
