5 Months Pregnant and 27 Months Old

She likes to read to herself! All the time. It's pretty cute because she has most of her books memorized so it actually sounds like she is reading. Everything is going really well, and we have been having no behavioral issues at all for me or her :) Naps in bed are no longer or we tried! So now i'm one of those moms who drive the kids in the car to fall asleep. I'm lucky it onlytakes a few minutes, but it's well worth it. Because Avery you still need your naps!

The cutest thing, we walk around town now and you say hello to strangers then turn to me and say "She's my friend Mom" or if there is a Man you say that's "Daddy friend Mom"! It melts my heart you are so friendly and outgoing. You have been loving sharing with your friends and your teacher Maureen at school still calls you "miss manners", because you are so polite. We are having so much fun with you and Daddy tells me today that you can ride your trike no problem all by your self! And you can barely reach the peddles! Way to go Sporty girl!

Half way through growing you a sibling, I'm so grateful this little one is active, because I must be reminded that I'm pregnant. Life has been too hectic. We had our Midwife appointment today and of course everything is picture perfect! You even got to finally hear the baby in your belly with the dobbler, and you giggled and were so excited! I love that you totally understand what's going on with us!
We are just having too much fun!

19 weeks..almost half way there

Seriously! half way! This pregnancy is speeding by without me. But since the anticipation

almost killed me last time I must admit it's kinda nice to not think about it every waking moment. Jason was able to feel the baby moving last night, and I have been feeling it for about 4 weeks already, but it's definitly getting stronger. Avery is really pregnant as well, she has a baby sister in her belly and will show you that she is growing in her belly, melts your heart.

I'm so excited for her to be a big sister. We are a bit afraid that she will take over, since she is so independent and wants do do everything on her own, but none the less she will be the best big sister!

Oh right I'm pregnant!

Buying a house, trying to sell a house, raise a 2 year old, work and play, there is no time left
over to even sit for 1 minute and relish in this pregnancy, so different from my first.
In fact I haven't even taken my 18 week belly shot and I'm almost 19 weeks! But i'm getting on that. So we put an offer on a house and we are a back up offer so that means we sit and wait. The other buyer has until Feb 15 to sell her duplex or its our new home! It's our realistic dream home. And since we have notice that the Mill is being shut down, that puts a ding into our plan of keeping this house as a rental, so the race is on to sell! Seriously life couldn't be more stressful and on the edge.
Avery, Avery! Is growing so fast! This kids cracks me up, she woke up the other night saying "MOM! I scared!" Ok Avery what are you scared of..."I'm scared of Bears!" What do you mean your scared of bears, what kind of bears, "Teddy bears Mom!" Oh geez, the imagination..
Jason and I snicker to ourselves daily, some of the things she comes up with! She sings all day...
