Baby Allen #2...

Nick and I are so excited to be expecting another little addition to the family. Being parents has been the most amazing adventure yet!! We’ve learned as we went but experiencing Sofie grow into such a unique little girl has been so rewarding. We love the fact Sofie is not the “typical girly girl”. She enjoys things that Nick loves like wresting, comics, and dominos and yet she still plays with her Barbie, has tea parties and plays dress up. She is such an amazing kid!
Throughout this pregnancy, it’s been a bit different. When I was pregnant with Sofie, I was working 10 hour days in the kitchen, on my feet and moving around ALL DAY!! Now, I’m behind a desk and it’s been really challenging for me to get comfortable. I’ve been trying to keep active but find that working full time, going to school full time and running after a toddler has depleted my energy level beyond belief.
So far, I am 20 weeks along in my pregnancy. I’ve made it to the half way mark and feel overall pretty good! A few days ago Nick and I had our ultrasound and everything came back PERFECT!
BABYGIRL ALLEN- yes, it’s another girl! And we couldn’t be happier!

They measured her heart chambers, brain and made sure she had all 10 toes and fingers. Here is a picture of the ultrasound pic…Baby was not cooperating and would not hold still for a profile shot :O(


I was so excited when my calendar reminder came up! Little butterflies in my tummy...or maby it was the baby getting excited too?

"let's get the show on the road"

We are still thinking about names...but one of our favorites is Emilia Valentina- I'm sure we'll change our minds have dozen more times~!
