Go Jayla Go!

Jayla had her very first soccer game today and as you can tell she was so excited. Her uniform is huge on her but that what makes it cute, right.

This isn't a very good picture. Next time I'll use the zoom but Jayla's the one in the middle of the line. Look how much smaller she is than the other kids. Ha ha! Before the game for 20 minutes they have a little practice and do drills. This was Jayla's favorite because she actually got to kick the ball. She also learned how to throw the ball in and she thought that was way cool.

When the game started she just stood there and watched the kids run around her. I think that she was patiently waiting for her turn. When she finally got close enough to me I told her to go and try to kick the ball. She did much better after that. Poor girl would run so hard to get the ball but she never got it because all the other kids are bigger and faster than her. But that didn't seem to deter her very much.

This is me and Blake on the sidelines. Blake wanted to get in on the action and didn't want to to be stuck watching. Next year he'll be right along there with them. (It looks like I've got a black eye in this picture. Totally an illusion.)

I think it's definitely more comedic than anything to watch them play soccer at this age. I'm so glad that Jayla enjoying it and she's so excited for her next game. I asked her what her favorite part about playing soccer was and she said the snacks. What do you expect from a 3 year old?

Jayla and Blake Are Getting a Sister!

I had a doctor's appointment today and he did another ultrasound. I'm always in such awe to see my little baby and to add to the excitement he was able to tell that it's a girl . He said he's not a 100% sure but to start planning on it. In 5 weeks I'll be having my 20 week ultrasound where we'll be able to take a better look. The doctor said that everything looks great and she's a good size and there are no abnormalities. It is such a relief to hear that! I don't know what mothers-to-be did without these technologies before. Sadly, I didn't get any pictures this time and there were some good shots. I got to see her heart, legs, arms, head, and spine. So cool! She was also moving around so much and it's weird that I can't feel it yet. Hopefully soon. Jayla is so exicted to be getting a sister. It's what she's wanted all along and luckily Blake doesn't care and has no idea what's going on. Daniel and I are having a hard time agreeing on a name. He likes Melinda and Bridget (two good friends of mine have these names and I think there should only be one of each of these in my life) and I like Malia (pron: mah-LEE-ya). What do you guys think? Well, today has been a great day and I'm looking forward to when I can feel that baby kickin' (famous last words).
