hmmm...

to fill you in on some new things in our lives...

we are happy to announce we have another little bundle of love showing up in december. both mike and i are thrilled. i think this time we are both a little more anxious. i think we both feel as if we know what we are getting. its not like we didn't know we were getting a child with john but i think we now know how much we love this one because of how much we love john. its a weird feeling but a great one. i'm not sick in the morning like i was with john so thats been a blessing with daycare. although my nights are not great. i had one rough week of puking but otherwise i've been pretty good. once 6 hits i'm not so great. i've found that if i lay in bed the rest of the night i do alot better. so i'm off to sleep often at 8 or 9.

john doesn't really understand but we tell him there is a baby i mommy's belly and on weird moments he'll randomly come up to me and lift my shirt and say "johnny kiss baby" or just say "hi". love it!! he is going to be such a great big brother.

so on the other end of life things are pretty normal around here. garden was planted a couple of weeks ago along with some pots. i'm hoping to get the rest of the flowers in this weekend. john is my little helper everywhere these days. he now knows he can push up the chair to the kitchen counter and help mom as he says. sometimes its good but not so great when you are making a hot meal. oh well kids learn quickly. the last few days i've been busy cleaning the house. i'm getting my licensing for daycare so i can have more kids. its stressful but worth it in the end. mom took john on wednesday which was great and i was able to get alot done and mike has been great also. getting all the last minute things done for me. i'm actually feeling alright abt today. i know she will have something i need to do different but at the moment i'm doing the best i can. i still need to get the kitchen clean but other than that i'm feeling good abt it all. the other great thing about today is its just john and i. love these days. this morning has been full of cuddles on the couch and not mom running around getting this ready for daycare. feels good to just relax and be a mom.

well i should write more but i gotta get going just remembered i need to organize the kids cubbies a little better!!
