Jeremy's first half marathon!

We are very proud of Jeremy, who ran his first half marathon! He started running again earlier this year, and the last couple of months was training for this run. Jeremy did great!

 

Boy, oh boy!

Yes, oh yes! Bailey is going to have a little brother! I have warned her from the beginning that is she tickles my belly (instead of gently patting it) the baby will be a boy - and sure enough - after all the tickles she's getting a little brother! Of course we are thrilled. This will be all new for us, but we are excited about this learning experience ahead. 

22 weeks along!

Jeremy and I were talking the other night about someone else being pregnant who is half way through the pregnancy, and Jeremy says: “well, we’re not quite there yet, so we don’t need to worry about it” (whatever it was that we were talking about). I laughed out loud!!! My husband did not realize that we are past the half way point! I am at 22 weeks already. We only have four months left before our family gets bigger :)

This week I have another ultrasound, and we should know if we’re having a boy or a girl. At first I had the best intentions of not finding out, but then I realized that by the time the baby comes we would be past the prime garage season - and if we are having a boy we don’t have any newborn/baby boy stuff (we have plenty for when he gets a bit bigger). So we will find out...and I shall update you all on our findings!

I am starting to feel a bit better - finally! I have some more energy left by the time the afternoon comes around. Bailey and I get to do a lot more fun things again - we went back to the reading classes at the library, music lessons, and play dates with some of her new & “old” friends. My real estate is picking up some more also, which is great because once baby #2 is here I am not certain how quickly I will be out showing houses. Jeremy is busy as always at his job, but he and Bailey have a great routine both in the mornings and at night. Almost every morning Bay gets woken up by daddy and they have some milk and watch a half-episode of Dora. Afterwards we blow kisses and hugs to daddy, and he goes to work. In the evenings Jeremy usually feeds Bay dinner, then they play & read books, bath time, again milk time with Dora, and nighty-night time around 8:00pm. Mommy usually crashes soon after Bailey :)

I keep trying to explain to Boo there’s a baby in mommy’s belly, and that soon we will have a baby in the house, and that I will need her help with it. I don’t think she understands any of this crazy concept! And every time we talk about my belly she tries to tickle it...Is there a good way to prepare your toddler for a baby? I’ve heard many times that girls will just automatically will get in their “mommy-modes” and will try to help - but does that really happen or is that just a rumor? I guess we will find out soon enough...

Hello! My name is Sassy!

What can I say - it is a lot of fun to take pictures of Bailey, especially when Jeremy is around to help with distractions and making her laugh. Thanks for auntie Diana and uncle Javier for this awesome Spanish Flamenco dress and dancing shoes!
