6.5 Months and Counting!

Hi all...just wanted give an update to those of you who have been asking about the pregnancy and of course how Micah is doing...

I am a few days short of being 6.5 months preggers and for most people, they can't believe how times fly’s...for me I can't believe how time has stood still! Although I have to say I am very grateful that I feel much better sickness wise. Just dealing with heartburn and food not settling well...BUT I WILL TAKE IT! This pregnancy is sooooo much different than Micah's, which is why I think I knew it was a girl. She sits WAY lower then Micah did which means there's lots of pressure on my tailbone which doesn't make sitting at work the most comfortable. And I do believe she is the next karate kid! It's amazing how active she is, especially 10-15 min after I eat. It's like clockwork with her, it's nice because I get to tell Matt exactly when she will put on a performance and he gets to see and feel her. I can’t wait to see her, and I think these last few months are going to be long just because I am so anxious to hold her…in my arms (not my belly).

Micah is doing great, continuously growing and learning. He seems to surprise Matt and me everyday with some new word or phrase that he’s learned at school. He is at the “what is that mommy?” (points to EVERYTHING) and “Where did that/the ______ go?” Really, put ANY word in there and that’s the stage he is at! Can’t wait for the “why” stage too! (insert sarcasm here) His favorite 2 lines right now are “Mommy where did the school bus go?” and “Mommy where did the city bus go?” And he will ask the same questions 5-10 times in a row, and I respond to him with the same answers every time! So this morning when we saw the school AND city bus I was expecting the routine questions but instead he told ME “Look Mommy the school bus is picking up the kids to take them to school” and “the city bus is picking up the people to take them to work”! I smiled...thank goodness repetition paid off sooner than later. We have also confirmed that he has to be the most loving little boy. He shows and wants to be loved all by touch and feel. He wants to hold your hand, or if he is sitting he wants to at least make sure his arm is touching yours. He loves cuddling, which I am greatful for because I don't know how long it will last!

Other than that we are doing great and slowly preparing for our newest addition!...I mean really slowly…ok we only picked out paint colors for the nursery and we still can’t make up our minds…eeeekkkk!

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...
