New Addition

Well, since we have news to share, I figured it would be a good time to start up the blog again. We are expecting Baby 2 in March. The due date is the 14th, so we're hoping to make it that long because that would be EXACTLY twelve weeks until the end of the school year. I have been feeling pretty crummy and tired for the past six weeks, but I'm OK with that. It just means that the hormones are flowing and that the baby is doing well. I actually got to hear a heartbeat at my 10 week appointment so that was reassuring. Baby swam away pretty quickly, but it was definitely there for me to hear! Macy knows that there is a baby in Mommy's tummy, even though I know she doesn't know what's coming. She says hi and night-night to it daily, and I think (keep your fingers crossed) she will be a great big sister.

Speaking of Macy, she is definitely almost two! She's has crazy amounts of energy and cracks us up with the words that come out of her mouth. She loves to read books and, lately, to play with her kitchen. She likes to dress up in her apron and pretend to eat the play food. She likes anything to do with Sesame Street and really enjoys her popsicle and Backyardigans time before bed. She has also developed her two year old attitude, where she likes to push the limits. We've done some time outs, which are NOT fun but seem to help her understand. But all in all we are really lucky to have such a well-mannered and adorable little girl. (It breaks my heart not to call her a baby anymore, but she truly is a little girl now!)

That's the update for now. I'll try to write more often with news on Macy and the new one as things begin to unfold.
