Another year has come and gone! Our little girl is now 3! It is so unbelievable how fast time is going since Hayden came into the world. She has brought so much joy and happiness to Chad and I. I can not wait to see what else is to come in the future for her, the places she will go and the things she will accomplish in life!

As Dr. Seuss says…

“You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights. You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

The party:  Her new things recently is “My little Pony” and she told me for weeks that she wanted a pony party (of course I was going to make this happen). So I took her to Party City and she picked out all of her own decorations of “My little Pony”. She had no idea what I had in store for her and was planning to make an appearance at her pony party. I rented 2 ponies to come play for 2 hours. I knew that she would just be beside herself when she saw these ponies. I can not express myself how much of an animal lover Hayden is and always has been! (I swear she will either be a zoo keeper or a veterinarian when she grows up) When the truck pulled up and she saw what was in side she was so excited. Her happiness bring tears of joy to my eyes. She wanted those ponies out ASAP. The lady saddled up the ponies and Hayden jumped right up on that pony as if she rode every day not a fear in the world. I am so glad that she enjoyed her big birthday surprise! I think yesterday answered my question if she would enjoy taking horse back riding lessons. After her party Chad and I took her to the Melting Pot to enjoy fondue it was the perfect end to a perfect day.

Thanks to everyone who came to the party and helped make it happen. She was blessed with a large amount of gifts and thank you so much for all of those.

Last week I had my 23 week check up and ultrasound. This was a big visit because they check the anatomy of the baby plus it is a 30 minute ultra sound so I got to see her for a whole 30 minutes.  It feels like a life time between all the ultrasounds I hate not being able to see her. There were a few parts of her that they were unable to check because of her positioning. The doctor did mention that she is measuring fairly small for what she should be measuring. We will be having another ultra sound in a few weeks to check on her again. I don’t mind if she is small as long as she is healthy.

As for me I am feeling great at this point. Hopefully it will stick around for a while!!

Now for the big name announcement (drum roll please…)  Hannah Elyse Gatewood!

Hayden is so excited for baby Hannah to arrive. Every picture of a baby girl that she see’s she asks me “Is this baby Hannah” or at least once  a day she asks me if Hannah can sleep in her room with her. I think she is going to be a great big sister!

Yes! We are having another GIRL!!!! We are all very excited for more pink!

Hayden has participated the last few years in the book festival and she loves it. There are so many things for children to do she always comes home with a whole bag a goodies. If you live in the Savannah area I highly suggest for you to take your children.
