Surprise Visit to Utah!

I decided I wanted to get to Utah and see all of Brandon's family before I had to go back to work. So I was talking with Brandon's sister, Aimee, and I had found a really good flight there for Lilly and I - so we decided that we would surprise Brandon's parents and Lilly & I would just show up at their house. It was so hard to keep that secret for 3 weeks, I could hardly contain myself! Lilly was just perfect on the plane ride there and did really well most of the trip - she was just overly exhausted the first night there and a bit for the next morning, but then she got use to everyone and we all had a good time. The 3 posts below are the videos from us surprising Brandon's parents (who will be now known forever as Grandpa & Grandma Ungricht) and then the surprise to the Great Grandma's. One of the main reasons we wanted to get out there, was because we wanted the Great Grandma's to meet Lilly, especially Grandma Ungricht. She told me as we were leaving her house that she just didn't know if she would still be alive to ever meet Lilly. We really enjoyed our time spent with all our families. It was a blast!

2 Months Old

Lilly had her 2 month check up and I can't believe it - she's 10 lbs 14 oz & 23.3 inches long. Our baby girl is growing up too fast. We were thinking back to only 2 short months ago right now, we were probably about to go into our room and be alone with Lilly for the first time. It feels like it's been longer than 2 months, but then again the time is flying by too fast. We were so worried about a lot of different things with the adoption just 2 months ago, and now all we're worried about is trying to make sure we are bonding with Lilly and that we're the best parents in the world - so it shouldn't be too difficult the next 18 years, right? Seriously though, we are just so excited that we have been blessed with little Lilly - now we just have to decide when to start trying to find baby #2, maybe we'll wait a few more weeks. lol! :-)
