La di Da

WE NEED THE INTERNET!! So much is going on in our lives and so many moments I want to capture and share on this blog, but without the internet, I'm reduced to just logging in when i'm at work...and that means only once a week and no pictures :( We are working on it so some day soon I'll be able to fix this thing up and take more pictures to document all the wonderful experiences our little family has had. For now, all I can do is write:
Baby Lee 2 is so close to making her debut...just 9 weeks to go!! And yes, she is still Baby 2 for now...Taylor and I just cannot seem to find common ground on what to name her. I have wanted Avery Noel since the beginning of the pregnancy and he, not surprisingly, has said no and dug his heels in. I really hope we either find another "better" name or he let's me have my way. I just feel it in my gut that that is who she is supposed to be! He thinks i'm just saying that to get my way, but it's true! Maybe we will know for sure when she finally arrives.
We moved Morgan into her big girl bed this week and it has gone much smoother than I anticipated. We have had the occasional protests at bedtime and she's snuck out a few times, but all in all she is adjusting well. I went all out creating a new room for her so she would feel special and excited about the change. Again, here would be a moment where internet at home would be awesome, so i could share pictures of the finished result. Taylor and I spent three hours last sunday taking apart the guest room and setting up her bed...and when I say "taylor and I"..i mostly mean Taylor. I couldn't really be of much use when it came to lifting and carrying....but he was such a good sport...he knows this is the nesting period and has been so sweet about all my craziness. I have had him rearrange and arrange back again so much furniture this week it's a wonder he can still walk!
The pregnancy is going well...i'm uncomfortable and tired, but I try not to think about it. And i'm so busy with Morgan I often don't have time to dwell on it. She is SUCH an energetic kid...she never stops. We literally are doing stuff all day long whether it's swimming, going for walks, going to the mall to play in the play place...i have to keep her active or she gets grumpy! She is just like her momma ;) I am really looking forward to being done with this pregnancy though and hopefully having some time to just "relax" at home with my babies. It will be nice to have a break from work as well...this whole nightshift thing has been REALLY hard on my physically so i'm looking forward to being done with that...only 2 months of it left! WOO!!
Well I think that about does it for now...hopefully I will have TONS of pictures to share with you soon!

Food for thought

I can't believe it's been two months since the last time i updated this thing...where to start??! I'm 28 weeks pregnant now so we are moving right along. Time seems to have come to a complete hault, probably because i'm so anxious to be done with this pregnancy. It's been kind of miserable...I think the circumstances are just more difficult this time. Working the night shift with minimal sleep, caring for a two-year-old that never stops moving, and trying to grow a baby all at the same time can be a bit strenuous :) I'm just ready for this to be overrrrr!
I had the dreaded glucose test last week and it was...dreadful haha. First off, the drink itself was so disgusting and made me so nauseated...and then by the time I arrived to the doctor's office to have the blood test done, i was seriously THIS CLOSE to passing out. I had to be taken to back room and lay down on the table where i basically had the spins and was sweating profusely. And this lasted for an hour! I couldn't get up!! Anyway, i was finally able to make my way home, but felt like crap for the next few days. Oh it was sooo awful! But the test came back normal...other than being anemic, everything looked fine. I am so glad that part is over...! So all in all, as you can see from the different blogs before this...this pregnancy has been slightly difficult a times, but baby girl is healthy and kicking and seems to be fine, so that's all that matters.
Switching gears....we just got back from a trip up to St. Johns this week. It had been over a year since i'd been there!! And it was so nice to get out of the heat. Morgan had such a blast playing with her cousins, running around barefoot in the backyard, jumping on the trampoline, playing with the animals...she seriously just seemed SO happy. I can't believe i'm saying this but, that trip really has me considering moving up there when i'm done with school. She just turned into a totally different kid...she was entertained the whole time, it was relaxing, it was quiet....I just think a place like that would be such a wonderful atmosphere to raise a child in...we even drove around the town looking at pieces of land for sale and talked about the idea of building a house out there in a couple years. I don't know, i could change my mind next month who knows...but it's a thought...?? Anyway, it was a good trip...
So that brings us up to date for now...12 weeks left in the pregnancy (maybe less if the doctor decides to take her early)...still no name, still no room set up...so much to do still but we will be ready...Our family is facing a lot of change in the next few months but we are excited and ready...!!
