Exciting Changes!

Remember that week a few months ago, where we had a gajillion things happening? (If not, you can read about it here.) But, as a recap, this is what we faced in seven short days at the end of February:

Friday - we listed our house
Saturday - we put Spanky down
Tuesday/Wednesday - launched a HUGE project at work (biggest that BI has seen to-date)
Wednesday - we sold our house

Well...there was one other life-changing thing that happened, that I started to suspect on that Thursday, but didn't get confirmation until that Saturday...Baby Goers is coming our way, November 2013!

Seriously, I'm not sure how much more we could have packed into that one week, and frankly, I don't want to try to top that week - ever.

I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant, and feeling great! No morning sickness at all with this one (I had a tiny bit with Ava.) I'm mostly just more tired and hungry than usual. And honestly, we're so busy with everything else that I sometimes forget that I'm pregnant. We've heard the heartbeat and even had an early ultrasound, so there's definitely a baby in there!

A few weeks ago, Ava made the comment that my belly was getting bigger. I asked her if she knew why, and she said, "Because you have a baby in there!" I denied it and told her I had been eating more (which isn't a lie - I've been inhaling everything around me.) So, yesterday, it didn't come as quite a surprise when we broke the news to her...but, she's still excited to be a big sister!

Watch Ava's reaction here!

We were at an engagement party last night, and Ava said the best part about this is when "they cut mommy open, take the baby out of her belly, and sew her back up. YEAH!" Um... I'm going to disagree with her on this one.

So, lots of changes coming in the next six months for our family. I was hoping our house would be built before school starts in the fall, now my goal is to have it built before I have this baby. If not, we'll manage...we always do!

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

26 Hours in a Day

Just yesterday morning, I was thinking to myself that I could really use a few more hours each day. We don't sleep a whole lot, both work long hours at our jobs, try to play with Ava as much as we can at night and on the weekends, and then we have to do all of the adult-stuff...paying bills, grocery shopping, cleaning, work on side jobs, house projects, etc. If there were only 26 hours in a day, we could: *Sleep just an extra 30 minutes - we need it since the dogs have been waking us up each weekend day at 5:30am. What could be SO urgent that they need to get us up then?!? You'd think we only feed them once a week, or something. *Spend an extra hour with Ava...we could go to the park every night, take an extra long bath, read a few extra stories, and just enjoy the giggles and chattiness. *Take 30 minutes to talk to each other about how things are going. With Scott leaving for work each day before 5am, and then all of the craziness that ensues when I get home at nigh

Go, Go, Goers!
