Ella is catching up with her brother!

As most of you know, getting Andrew to use the potty seemed nothing short of a miracle. On the contrary, Ella can't get enough of the potty. She is like the potty vulture. As soon as the bathroom door is open she makes a bee line to the little potty. I am amazed to report that she goes peepee pretty much every time she sits on the potty. Now she can't really tell me when she needs to go, that I am sure is a ways off, but what a start!! If she could only get it by the time the next little one comes that would be a dream come true. I am not going to hold my breath. One of the many words that she has learned lately is peepee which is what she talks about all day. As soon as she goes in her pants, she announces it to the whole room. It is quite funny. I swear, my children are polar opposites. Wonder what the next one will be like???

Honey, its an Alien...I mean a baby!

We had another doctor's appointment yesterday to check on Lucky Number 3. All is well and he or she is growing great. The baby was measuring about 2 days behind which is fine. We are hoping for a smaller baby this time because the doctor is concerned since Ella had shoulder dystocia (her shoulders got stuck behind the pelvic bone and her collar bone broke) that if this one is any bigger than Ella then they want to do a c-section. We did not realize that Ella breaking her collar bone was a blessing because some babies' collar bones don't break and it can be a life threatening situation. So the doctor wants to avoid that at all cost. That is kind of worrying because we really don't want to have to go through a c-section but we will just have to wait and see. At least we have a lot of time to get mentally prepared if that should be the case. Obviously, we want to do what is best for the baby. Our doctor did an ultrasound again to measure the growth and this what we were greeted with, an alien...I mean a baby! Haha!


Here is this little baby looking head on. You can see the eye sockets and skull and if you look closely you can see his or her arms waving at the side of his or her body. Truly looks "out of this world".

Never a dull moment around here...

The kids are doing great and just growing by the day. Ella has graduated into a full blown walker and does not crawl at all anymore. She has just grown so much in the past month and is talking and chattering up a storm. Andrew is also doing well and continues to amaze us with all that he is learning.

As for the Mom and Dad of the group, we are doing well and got some rather unexpected but very exciting news. I have not been feeling well for weeks and we officially found out the reason to my belly aches and tiredness. Another little Hensley is on the way...a little sooner than we expected but none the less welcomed! We had our first prenatal appointment today and all went well. This little one is scheduled to make an appearance around December 10th. It will be quite a busy holiday season with a 3 year old, one year old, and a newborn. Wow!! It makes me tired just typing that. Haha!

Here are some new pictures of the kids.
