baby x

Here are a couple pictures from our ultrasound yesterday. Everything looked good so far! I measured about 13.5 weeks along. Second picture is taken from the bottom looking up at the outstretched legs (butt is on the right, feet on the left) What could it be???? We don't know, and won't know until August 1st---we like the anticipation!! Chris feels it might be a boy, but its hard for me to imagine not having another girl...so one of us will be surprised!

This was in the Target ad this morning in the paper! Its always so exciting because I never see the photos or even know when they will be coming out until I come across them. My mom actually saw it first in her paper and called me, so I went online and pulled up the "weekly ad" and here it is!!
This month has already been full of excitement. For New Years my friend Courtney visited from San Diego and we had a nice relaxing time here in the desert.
Two of my girlfriends are also expecting a baby in February, so we had back to back baby showers for them (one Friday and one Saturday.) Both showers were so different--but so fun and got me excited to have a newborn again--although I have a LONG way to go!
One last bit of exciting news--back in December I had submitted Makena to a new talent agency (The Osbrink Agency) for fun. It was a shot in the dark because it is one of the most prestigious agencies in Hollywood. They represent Dakota Fanning--their youth department is fantastic, so needless to say I REALLY didn't expect a call from them. But last week they contacted me requesting an interview with Makena. So just went on Thursday, and they took Makena back BY HERSELF for the interview! I have NO clue what went on back there--but 15 minutes later they came out and the agent said she did very well. But they said they would be in touch with us, so now we are just waiting to hear. Anyway--I will keep you all posted if anything comes from it, but if not, we are ecstatic just to have been considered!

november & december

This is probably the longest hiatus of not posting since I have started the blog! These last few months have been busy with family and holidays--and not to mention some exciting news for the Howe family! We found out that we will be expecting another baby come the first week of August! I am currently almost 10 weeks pregnant and it has been a little rocky so far. But only a few more weeks until my second trimester when I should start to feel much better.
