It's always fun when Cay Cay comes!

Hannah has a love/hate relationship with her friend Caleb. The other day he came to play with us and after about an hour I found Hannah hiding like this:



A few minutes later, Caleb sat down on the chair and asked, "Wheres Hannah?" I kid you not. I laughed so hard.



Guess she fooled him.

They are too cute together and his mom and I always laugh at their antics. (Cay Cay is the nickname Hannah gave him when they first started playing).

Another funny story, Caleb is one smart cookie. His mom Jen was talking to his dad and mentioned "Melissa Turney." Caleb perked up and said "Hannah, Hannah, Hannah!" Somehow this little two year old knew Hannah's mom was Melissa Turney.

Modest is Hottest...

...but not always the most convenient.

Little baby Turney sat closed legged the entire ultrasound...which was frustrating because the Dr. said 'it' (I always feel bad calling my child it) was in perfect position to check out the gender. A few times the lock kneed baby would move slightly but not enough to get a good look.

The Dr. said he didn't see anything definite, which led Adam and I to assume it was a girl but he said he really couldn't get a good look and we shouldn't "bet the farm on it."

I have another ultrasound scheduled for next Monday the 18th so hopefully we will find out for certain then.

Part of me is wishing for a girl. She would be so close in age to Hannah and we already have everything we need except diapers for a new born.

The other part of me would be thrilled for a boy, a new adventure!

What are your guesses?

Boy or Girl? {Old Wives Tales}

Today I will hopefully find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I am crossing my fingers that they are uncrossing their legs! While I'm waiting for my appointment I'm using these old wives tales to find out.

There is the RING METHOD: You put a gold chain through a ring and hold it like a pendulum over the woman’s hand. If the ring moves in circles, it’s a girl. If the ring moves side to side, it’s a boy. According to this I'm having a boy.

Also, there is a Mathematical formula to find out baby’s sex: Age of the mother when she got pregnant + her month of birth + month of conception (normally 14 days after the first day of the menstrual period) = if result is odd it is a boy if it is even it is a girl. According to this one I'll have a boy too. So we will see!

According to the Mayan calendar I am having a boy

However, according to the list of indicators such as being nauseous, emotional, skin breaking out, soft hands, dreams etc. I am having a girl.

Although there is really only one way to truly find out, I am having fun with the old wives tales anyway, and hope to have an answer in a few hours!

Hannah's First Bike Ride

Author: Adam Turney

I love riding a bike. When I was younger my dad often had a child seat attached to his bike. I loved putting my siblings in the seat and taking them for a bike ride. The other day a family stopped by during their bike ride and looked like they were having so much fun. I wanted to have fun with Hannah so I bought a child seat for my bike and a cute helmet for Hannah. At first she was hesitant about getting in, even though she loved wearing her new "hat." After a couple times up and down the street she was in love. Every time I stop she would ask, "Again, please?" We spent the next 15 minutes riding the bike and she absolutely loved it. Now we can take bike rides to the park while mommy gets some rest at home.
