Home!

Leo came home on Friday and we have had a good time as a family of 4 on "family vacation" since Adam is off from work. We have had visits from my parents, Adam's dad and Carol, the Pletchers, Adam's cousin Alicia and her daughter Tes, and our babysitter Joanna. We have made it out and about a few times; to the coffee shop, out for lunch once, to the doctor twice. He's been a very good boy and Gwen is adjusting well to being a big sister.

Leo Gray

Our Little Leo arrived on March 22. I was induced at 7:30am and later on after only 3 pushes and 10 minutes he was born at 4:33pm, healthy as can be! We are so lucky to have him!

19 Months

Ever since I got pregnant for the second time, people keep asking me what the age difference between Gwen and the baby will be. I can't believe she's reached that age-19 months! I guess when she's 2 I will quit referring to her age by the month :)

At 19 months:

She is very confident and knows what she wants (to eat, do, and wear).

She is super silly and animated and loud! She is very loving, sweet, and caring.

She is very independent and wants to do as much as she can on her own.

I know I'm biased as her mom, but I just think she has the best personality ever :) She has a great combination of traits that make her such a wonderful, unique little girl!

Spring!

March is here and it has brought wonderful weather. We have been able to grill out and Gwen has got to play outside quite a bit, which she LOVES.

Gwen has had a very fun weekend! We spent Friday afternoon with Mara and Nolan (Reese was at a friend's). They are so nice to her and let her sit with them and play the computer and share snacks. Adam has been busy a lot working on the house, but we eat dinner with him every night. Friday night we went to our church's fish fry for Lent with the Pletchers and she had a blast running around with the big kids. Then Saturday, Duvy and Paisley came for the day. She loves "Paysies" and they had fun watching shows, playing toys, and eating snacks (while Duvy and I got to chit chat and eat lunch together). After Gwen's nap, the weather was beautiful so we took a walk to the park. Gwen loves to play and wants no help! She climbs, digs, and slides and gets very messy, but has a blast!

Saturday night Adam and I had our last date before the baby comes; we got lots of errands for the house done and got a nice dinner out. Then today we all went to church and to Sams, Adam worked on the house while Gwen and I did some cleaning/laundry/grocery shopping, then we had dinner with the Pletchers.

Now that March is here, we had a fun weekend, our house is completely clean, all I need is to get through Thursday (my last day of work) and I will be completely ready for the baby to arrive.
