Ella Kate went to a birthday party at a Pumpkin Patch on Sunday and had a blast! Here are some pics:















And here are just a few random pics:

More on Riley

We had our appt with Maternal Fetal Medicine last week and got a better look at little Riley! She was moving all over the place but was being cooperative this time and giving them everything they needed to see. The doctor was able to detect a small cleft lip, we had prepared ourselves for this after they told us they thought they saw one at my 18 week ultrasound, so we were ready for the news. The good news is it seems to be a very minor one-it is called an isolated unilateral cleft lip and is on the right side. It does not appear to go through to the nose, so that is even better news. Our doctor was very encouraging and Scott and I feel really good about everything.

We have an appt with Children's Hospital and their cleft team on Oct.20. They have one of the largest cleft teams in the country and are suppose to be amazing. We will meet with their entire team and be able to ask any questions that we might have. Hopefully, we will know more after this appt about what to expect and when her surgery might take place. We will keep you all updated and please keep our little girl in your prayers. Here are some of the 4D pics they were able to take of our little lady-







And here is a pic of our little Tiger, EK! She loves watching football now and will shout "Go Tigers" anytime she sees football on TV, no matter who is playing!

Catching Up!

Sorry I have not updated the blog in a while, things have been crazy as usual! We made it through the hurricane, Ella Kate was a champ even without power! But her and I spent WAY TOO MUCH time together! She had a great time with her PaPop who stayed with us for two weeks, had him wrapped around her little finger! He would even skip the Oreilly Factor and sit watch Sprout TV with the little demanding diva!

Ella Kate and I went to Kingwood for a days to get away and spent some time with Biggie and MeMe Deb! EK loved the pool and would have lived in there if we would have let her!

Other big news-Ella Kate got rid of her noonie(paci)! This is huge! She was obsessed with these things, had to have one in her mouth while carrying two more in each hand! But it was time for her to be a Big Girl and say good bye to the noonie. Her MeMe led the way and they "threw away" the noonie almost two weeks ago! We told her she was a big girl now to which she replies "Big Dirl"!

Other than that, we have just been trying to get back to normal and have been enjoying LSU football! I need to post a video I took of Ella Kate cheering the Tigers on, she is already taking after her mama-a natural cheerleader in the making!

We have another doctor's appt tommorow and will have an ultrasound to get a better look at our other little lady-Riley Anne! I cannot believe she will be here in 4 short months, so much to do and we haven't even started yet! Gotta get Handyman Scott in gear!!!!

It's a GIRL!

We had our doctor's appt and ultrasound today and found out that Ella Kate is going to have a baby sister!! Poor Scott, he is going to be outnumbered! Norm already called and said, "YAY-Scott will be paying for both weddings to the Sunstrom boys." He also said he planned on drinking alot at these weddings and Scott better spring for the good stuff and some filets would be nice!

We have to go back on Friday for another ultrasound so they can get a better picture of the baby's face. But I know in my heart everything will be fine. Just wanted to share our happy news with you all!

I Love You!

Ella Kate now says I love you! It is the sweetest thing ever! We say "I love you Ella Kate" and she says, " I wuv you". Here she is in the bath tub and you can hear her saying it. I know, why am I filming her in tub, well, it is getting harder and harder to get her on video because she wants to watch the "baby" which means she wants to see herself on the camera. And she would not let me take her bow out, I guess she wanted to look pretty while bathing. She loves her bathtime, especially splashing her mommy with water!

Balloon Festival

We went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival over the weekend with friends. Ella Kate loved it! Not to sure her Dad felt the same way(he waited in line for food for an hour!), but I think everyone else enjoyed it! Here are some pics!

Best Sound Ever

One of my favorite sounds is Ella Kate's laugh, it is so contagious!! Here she is having some fun with her daddy!
