69 DAYS!!!!

I'm super excited so announce that we are under 70 mark. I am thrilled this is almost over for two reasons: 1. I'm gonna get to hold Grace and 2. Raun will be completely done with school!!!!!! I have not been having a great first trimester. I'm carrying so low that it is causing lots and lots of back pain! The problem is that it's mostly when I'm lying down so I am not sleeping. My OB told me to tough it out for a few weeks and if it doesn't get better then we will look at some other options. Last night I got a whopping 3 hours of sleep and I'm so thankful that my next appointment is friday so hopefully we will figure something out and I will being to function again!

I'm am loving feeling the baby move. It's the best part of pregnancy to me and she's really fun to play with and loves to move to music like Haley did! I just can't wait to have another baby around and for Haley to have a friend... we can tell she's getting bored and it's only going to get worse when she is stuck inside for winter.

Haley turned 3 on Sept. 25th and it was a great party. We had it at the indoor moonbounce center, Jumping Joeys, here in Williamsburg. They did a great job setting everthing up for us and the kids all had a blast playing. It was such a bittersweet moment because I hate to think my baby is 3 already, but she has truly grown up into sucha beautiful little girl. She loves going to nursery on Sundays and has excelled in the popcorn song, and the wise man song. I love to stand outside of the nursery for singing time to hear her belting out those songs. She is getting braver at the playground and now plays onthe zip line and actually rides it from one end to the other without putting her feet down... talk about amazing upper body strength.

I guess I'm done singing my kids praises, but it's been a fun few months and we have a lot to look forward.
