Update

I can't believe it's been almost three months since my last post. Time is going by so quickly and it seems like there's hardly enough hours in the day to spend time with Kahlan, work and clean the house. Of course I'm supposed to start back to school (part time thank goodness) in January.

So hard to believe she's almost 6 months old. She is such a happy girl, full of smiles and giggles every morning when she wakes up and throughout the day. Right now she is napping, and I have tonight's dinner in the crockpot. Sometime today I need to get some work done (boo) but at least it's only a couple of hours. I would much rather curl up with my sweet girl.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

Kahlan Jasmine Two Months

Belated birth story

Life has been so crazy (but wonderful!) since our daughter, Kahlan Jasmine, was born on 4/10. My water broke after we were out to dinner with friends and walking around the mall. Four hours later she was born :)

My maternity leave went way too quickly as I went back to work half days after four weeks and then back to full time after six weeks. She's been sleeping seven hours at a time at night, and we are so in love with our beautiful daughter.

I hope everyone's doing well and enjoying the summer. I am hopeful to have some more time to catch up on blogs and to update mine.

Happy Holidays!

Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday. We had some bad weather so we couldn't travel anywhere but still had a good time and dinners with family. Trying to get motivated to work on clearing out the baby's dresser and working on clearing out her room, I need somewhere to put some things we got for Christmas for her. April will be here before we know it!

Big U/S update

Life has been crazy lately, can't believe how time has flown. I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant and we found out on the 23rd we are having a girl! So far all of my appts have gone great and she's healthy.

We had a lot of snow last week and had a snow-day Wednesday! We had 15.7 inches of snow, it was so nice to be able to stay home, bake some cookies and relax, although the rest of the work week was wild.

I've finally started clearing out her room and my in-laws are going to come over in January to paint our bedroom, and after that's done I'll have to figure out what color to paint her room. We are going to have the Lambs.and.Ivy Secret Garden bedding that has cream, burgundy and sage green. Thinking of painting one wall sage green or burgundy and painting the remainder of the room cream. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

So busy...

Between work, school, sleep, work, school, sleep that's about all I do right now. I cut back to half time for my classes and am hopeful to start catching up on my blogging, and reading the blogs I follow, I am really behind, in another week. Then I will (finally) be done with my class that's twice a week from 8-10:30 and switch to 530-8. It's really hard to get off the couch at 7:30....then after mid December I'll be done with classes until next August or October, depending on how well the baby sleeps...

So far I've (luckily) been feeling pretty good other than some insomnia and fatigue. We had the first trimester screening last week and the baby refused to lie on his/her back (I hate saying "it") and after 2 hours the baby went to sleep, so we were unable to do the test where they measure for Down's Syndrome and they didn't take my blood to run the bloodwork. So we opted not to have the test, not that the results would've changed anything, we just wanted to know...


Hopefully everyone is doing well out there in blogland! I'd better start working on my draft so I can get to bed at a decent time (an hour from now, maybe less).

Update - First u/s

I had my first ultrasound today. We got to see and hear the heartbeat :) I am 6 weeks 2 days and due April 15th. So far feeling pretty good, tired and hungry but so far that's it.

My next ultrasound is September 1st.

Hope everyone is doing well in blog-land!
