I had my 13 week appointment this morning. I was supposed to go in last week, but had to cancel since I was helping monitor the PACT test at school. I was hoping they might be able to see the gender of the new baby, but it was too early to see. Also, the new baby was moving all over the place, cutting flips! The ultrasound tech said we were going to have our hands full with this one! Everything looked great on the ultrasound...I'm right at 13 weeks and due Dec. 5.
Unfortunately, I had a pretty big weight gain, but the doctor didn't give me a hard time...yet!
The next appt. is June 17 so I'll keep you posted.

Fun in the Coupe!
Bess and Frank love the toys at YaYa and Big Daddy's house. They both want to drive the Coupe...Let's see who gets their way!
Fun in the Barbie Jeep
George the Train
YaYa and Big Daddy took us to ride on George the Train while in Greenville. Bess and Frank loved it and did not want to get off!

Bess's Last Day of School
Today was Bess's last day of school. Her class had a party at the park. In the picture, she is holding a yellow popsicle and is wearing a dress with a pig on it. This has been a great year for Bess in the 3's class at Shandon. Mrs. Martha and Mrs. Kellie were wonderful teachers and she will miss them so much. We have lots of fun things planned for this summer!

Bess's First Sleepover!
Saturday night, Bess had her first sleepover (that was not family). Anna Grace and Kayne came to Columbia Saturday, and they took Bess back to Florence with them to spend the night. The logistics worked out beautifully because we were going right through Florence Sun. morning to go to Dillon for Mother's Day. Here are some pictures that Kayne took of the girls' big night. They had lots of fun in the bath and playing before church. Notice in the second picture, Bess does not want to wake up for Anna Grace. Kayne and I were laughing because that is how we were at Clemson when we were roomates our first year. I would have the hardest time getting up in the morning!
Casey's Wedding
We went to Charletson for Casey and Ben's wedding Friday night. Casey was a beautiful bride! We all had a great time! The first picture is from the rehearsal dinner on Thursday night. The others are from the wedding.

Updates
Here is another update...
Bess...
Bess is finishing up her year in the 3's at Shandon. She loves school! Frank takes her to school everyday since I go to work early. She immediately chooses a classroom job when she gets to school. Her top choice is line leader. If that job is taken, she chooses "spray plants." Baby Frank and I pick her up everyday. She is always so excited to see her brother! She loves "showing him off" to all her classmates.
Bess has taken ballet this yeat and her recital is coming up in 2 weeks. Thank goodness my parents will be there to take pictures, since I am so bad with the camera. She has asked to take tap lessons next year. She is very interested in the tap shoes!
This summer, Bess will go to Bible School at our church, and we will plan to go to the pool as much as possible. Bess did not love the water last summer. She was getting used to it by the end of the summer, so hopefully she will pick right up and will enjoy spending days at the pool. I am also going to sign her up for some tennis lessons. She has her Dora tennis racquet and tennis skirt and is ready to go! My tennis teacher teaches the 3's and 4's, too, so we'll give that a shot this summer.
Bess is very excited about the new baby! She really hopes the baby is a girl. Tonight she surprised me with a picture that she drew of the new baby.
Frank...
It is so hard to believe Frank is almost 16 months! He still usually takes 2 naps a day, which works out very well for Lauren in the morning. I drop him off around 7:45 and he plays with Ramsey for a while, and then Lauren puts both boys down for a nap around 9:30 or 10. I pick him up at 11:30 and then we go and get Bess from school.
He loves all food and is not a picky eater, thank goodness! I have cut out milk and apple juice and he is doing great. His skin has cleared up, which is really amazing. I just thought he had bad skin like me...All of a sudden, his skin is smooth and soft. The doctor's office tested his stool for all kinds of things...Salmonella, parasites, etc. and were all found to be negative. They told me to try the milk one more time just to be certain. There is no way I am going to do this again, though, until I am at home with him this summer. We'll try it again in a few weeks and see what happens.
Frank has been walking for several months and says some words...Not too many, but he is getting there. He can say bye, baby, da, ma, nigh nigh, and his favorite (pa for paci). He loves to climb on everything! One day Frank finished eating his supper before Bess. For some reason, Bess got out of her booster seat at the table. The next thing I knew, Frank had climbed up in her seat and was eating her food...And it was spaghetti. So messy! He and Bess love to play "throw the blankie" game in his crib. They both get in his crib and I take turns throwing the blanket to them. They try and throw it back to me. It makes Frank laugh so hard.
Frank also loves playing outdoors. However, lately there have been lots of creatures in my yard...Come to find out they are called skinks...And they scare the daylights out of me. This is another reason why I plan to be at the pool everyday.
New Baby...
The new baby seems to be doing just fine. I am 10 weeks and getting heavier by the day. I could write a book on how to gain weight fast...Go to Bojangles in the morning for a sausage biscuit, hashbrowns, and tea. Run by Rush's or Chick-fil-A in the afternoon for a milkshake. Do not exercise at all. My excuse for not exercising is that there is a bird's nest in my double jogging stroller. I am feeling yucky most every night so what makes me feel better is to eat!
My next appt. is May 22. The ultrasounds I have had have looked good. At the first one, they could not see a heartbeat b/c I was so early. I went in 2 weeks later and the ultrasound tech had to call the doctor in the room after looking for what seemed to be a very long time. She thought there might be a chance there were 2 babies! The doctor said it was one, and she was sure of that.
Celebrity News...
We have a celeb. living across the street for a while...Jake Gyllenhal (I not sure about the spelling of his last name) is in Columbia w/ Jessica Biehl filming a movie called "Nailed." Jake is living in the house across the street that has been for sale for a while. I guess now it is being rented. We have not seen him yet, only cars that go directly in the garage and the door closes behind them.
That's about all! I'll post pictures soon!
