Baby girl?

I was SO surprised to find out we were having a girl!! I think I wanted a girl so badly that I convinced myself it was a boy & was very happy with that decision. All I can think about are dresses & shoes & hats & bows. Thank goodness for online yardsales... I've found some amazing bargains already.

Aren't they all to die for?! Now that the excitement of finding out the gender has come and gone, it's realllly started to hit me that an actual baby is coming. In 5 months we'll have another baby. A baby girl. She will be ours. It's a crazy, crazy, exciting thing. We think we are going to name her Oakland Marie Zimmerman :) I thought of the name before I was even pregnant with Colten, and we both loved it. It's just stuck.. A family if four in 2 years, now that's getting down to business.

We put an offer in on a house that we love last week!! We've been looking for a few weeks now, and we have seen some nasty houses. It's amazing how much some renters/homeowners destroy their homes! Eeek. This one is in Harrington right behind our church. It's 3br 2 bath with an extra room above the garage that we want to make into a toy room. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and it's on a little over a half acre lot. I had a feeling this house will be ours before we even toured it. We are saying 100 prayers a day that we get it :)

The weather the last couple of days has been amazing!! We have been going for loooong walks & hanging out at the park. Swinging is so much fun!

Colten's reaction to his Valentine's bear right when he woke up <3

We had a great Valentine's day! Andrew miiiight have gotten 80% of this for free, but that's even better, right? ;) We toured a couple homes after Andrew worked, made dinner (that had to cook for 2 hours & I didn't put it in until 5), ordered pizza to replace the dinner that I wanted to eat at 5:30, and ate delicious ice cream & peanut butter pie. Life is great.
