4 Months Pregnant!

I am already 4 months and one week pregnant!!! This pregnancy is going by so much faster than the first. I know its because I am more busy with Mikara. I am feeling the baby move all the time now. And I have popped out pretty good. We are 99% sure we are naming her Karley Lynn Jenkins. We love it!! We are both very excited and can't wait to meet her. Below is also her 16 week sonogram picture.

Webers Farm - Maryland

Last weekend we flew to Maryland to take Mikara to Weber's Farm with her cousins. She had so much fun!!!
Mikara loved pulling her bookbag full of toys through the airport!

After the plane ride she fell asleep.

Mikara's Big Girl Bed!

About 2 weeks ago we put Mikara in her big girl bed. We didn't want to put her back in her crib because one day when I put her down for her nap I found her eating the paint off of her crib!!! She was fine and the doctor said it was fine but I still didn't want her do it again so we decided that night to set up her big girl furniture. She just LOVED it!!!! She hopped up in the bed, squealing with excitement. It was so funny! She sleeps so well and hardly wakes up in the middle of the night anymore. Gordon and I can't believe how fast she is growing up!!!

Mikara got into her bed and started reading her books. She is so cute!!

This was the first night when she was squealing with excitement!





My favorite!!! I love this shelf!
Her dresser has slots for 5x7 pics!

What Do You Think?

This is me and Mikara around the same age. What do you think??? The second on Mikara is younger with a fuller face and shorter hair. I plan to retake the pic with her at this age and longer hair.
