Okay....

...Now she needs a haircut ;). We're going to try to go this weekend...



I've got a lot on my mind to blog about, but can't seem to find the time or energy to get it all out. Over all, things are good here. Scott and I have both been busy at work -- it's IEP season for me (which any one involved with the school systems will understand) and Scott is working on several big projects for work. We are still house-hunting from a distance. Scott will be traveling back to St. Louis next Wednesday and will spend a week there looking for a place to live. We are optimistic that the right thing will come along -- whether it's a house we end up buying or one we just rent. I am SO proud of Scott and the work he has done with his company. It speaks volumes that they agreed to this move in this economy. The pregnancy is going well. All blood work and tests have come back as they should. I have the usual complaints (swelling, heartburn, fatigue, etc.), but nothing terrible. I was able to get all of the baby clothes washed and put away last weekend as well as switch out Millie's winter clothes for spring/summer clothes (which really meant packing away just about everything that was in her closet and going shopping for new clothes). She's all set for the summer now. Amazingly, several of her outfits from last summer still fit. We are taking full advantage of that! I feel much better having things washed and ready for the new baby. There are still things we need to do (test out the car seat to see if we can fit two in our current car, get out the pack-n-play and cosleeper, etc), but those are things we still have time for. Oh and work on names... particularly boy names as it seems as though that's what everyone thinks we are going to have! Boy names are tough for us -- they were when we were pregnant with Millie too. We have a short list of 3 names for girls -- all with the same middle name, but are really struggling with boy names.

We've spent a lot of time the past week sending prayers and good thoughts to Scott's brother and his family in Michigan. Kevin was just diagnosed with MS this past weekend and had a pretty difficult go of things for a few days. Happily, Kevin is home now and feeling better and ready to tackle life head on. It's been hard to be so far away and we hope everyone in Michigan knows how much we care.

Millie is doing great. Talking up a storm -- using 3-4 word phrases and sentences -- starting to know some of her colors, exuding more energy than we ever had :).

This is a very choppy and watered-down version of what's been running around in my head, but for now it will have to do. I promise to post pictures of the first haircut as soon as it happens :)!
