Time flies...

Well hello and a huge I am sorry for slacking on my blog. I feel like a whole lot hasn't gone on around here, but then again I feel really busy! What's with that? I guess it's all in raising two little ones and being pregnant at the same time! This baby inside me is sucking the life out of me..I hope he/she is growing real strong because I have been so, so tired! I literally could sleep all day! I am now about 18 weeks which blows my mind. The second trimester is going by quickly. We find out on May 7th what the sex of the baby will be! Super excited about that!

Well let's see Paul and my brother Joe, put in the flooring for the baby's room and it looks awesome! I am super excited about it. We did a bamboo wood flooring and I love it. I even asked Paul if we could do the whole house in bamboo...the answer was no. Sad.

Austin has been potty trained, which is exciting. It's nice to have a break from diapers for a few months. And PTL that I won't have two in diapers...been there! Austin is also a talking machine. I had a friend recently tell me that she feels like she could have a serious conversation and debate with him, which cracked me up. I love that he is so verbal because it sure makes life a bit easier not having to try and figure so many things out. He is very into Buzz Lightyear right now. He wants everything in Buzz, even a pillowcase. I am on the hunt for Buzz stuff, not the easiest to come by. His eating is getting a little bit better but not where I would like him to be. Working on that. One thing that has been awesome is that he and Kristen have been playing together so well. The love being together and making up games to play with each other. I love it when the play work. Austin puts on his work hat and goes to work while Kristen takes care of her babies, that's her work. Gotta love it!

Kristen is doing fabulous. I love that girl. She is so full of life. School is going super well for her and she is enjoying it a ton. I actually can't believe the school year is almost over. Oh summer I have to get ready for that and have some stuff planned so my poor girl isn't bored out of her mind! If you have any ideas let me know in the comments! She is very into her babies right now. It excites me to think about when I have the third baby how she will be. Both kids are super excited about the baby coming. Kristen is very eager to put the baby's bed together but what she doesn't understand is Austin still sleeps in it. It took a few conversations for her to understand why we weren't putting the baby's bed in when the flooring was done in the room..it was super cute. She is nesting a bit too, she just wants to get everything ready in the room. I pray she will be a super mommy one day! She also is into all kinds of bugs, worms, and creepy crawlers...I LOVE this about her! She makes me proud. The other day she came in with a slug on her hand and told me we needed to get a house for him. So we did, and then she covered him with rocks and learned that slugs don't do well covered by rocks. Sad. Knowing her she's on the hunt for another one.

Thanks for reading this long update. Writing is a nice outlet and let's you reflect on the great things going on in life. Thanks blogger.
