Lots of Excitement!

We've had lots of exciting things happening around here lately, starting with the fact that Katie has not nursed in 8 days! Last Thur night, we realized she hadn't nursed for 48 hrs and decided to make a clean break. She's doing awesome with it and Eric has been such a trooper stepping up by doing bedtime and getting up with her at night, although she's doing really well sleeping at night lately too!

I ate Sonic cheese sticks that night. They were so wonderful. Since then, I've had Coldstone, Taco Bell with cheese, a candy bar and a bunch of other crap I probably really shouldn't be eating, but it's soooo good! My mom made me biscuits and gravy on Saturday and I just finished those leftovers yesterday. Delicious!

I had my first OB appt this morning and was so shocked to get to hear the heartbeat. It really took me off guard and I got a bit emotional. It's no secret that these last nearly 17mo have been really rough on Eric and I all around. The stress Katie's problems has created has been unimaginable. We've been so blessed to have such luck with the houses and it's been such a whirlwind of activity that we haven't even had much time to think about the baby or even let it sink in. It finally seems like our rocky road has smoothed out a bit. While I know it won't always be like this, I'm really enjoying life again and getting excited about new baby and moving into our new house.

I had a $10 certificate to TCP that I needed to spend and decided to get something for the new baby. I LOVE their stretchies and when I saw this one, I knew we must have it!


I have a gymboree order going in tonight. I'm not really that crazy about the new lines, so I'm not even spending all my gymbucks. They have a really cute yorkie line, but it's just big girls and the smallest is a 4. Katie will probably be 6 before she's in that size. I am getting this cute little yorkie in a purse to put away for xmas.


We're also getting this watermelon dress for her 18mo pictures. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's adorable in person.


We're moving in 10 days.
We still have a lot to pack, but all the boxes are ready!

Eric always does Katie's bathtime and now that he's doing bedtime too, I'm honestly feeling a little left out. I do think it's very good for the both of them though as Katie's always been a huge momma's girl. I'm back to doing Kelton's bedtime now, which is fun. It's probably be a few months until I start doing Katie's bedtime again.

Katie's hair is getting so long,
Daddy made a huge soapy point on top!

And we can't forget the best big brother EVER!

The most exciting part of today must have been the turtle who slowly crawled across our backyard. Jasmine spotted it first. Then Kelton wondered if it was coming inside and Katie was insistant on going out to see it. Needless to say, he was pretty frightened of us, even though we offered him some lettuce.
