Way Too Long (but with good reason)

So it has been way too long since an update has been made. It is entirely my fault since I am the one "in charge" of the site. I had great intentions when I started but they dwindled a bit. So the BIG news is that we are expecting again. Yep, we are knocked up. Well, I am knocked up and quite far into the pregnancy at that. 5 months along to be exact. We did find out that it was a boy and now we feel complete with our daughter and soon to be welcoming a son. I do have to say that this pregnancy is so different than the first time. There was definietely more morning sickness, unfortunately. While Kaitlyn always was way up and playing in my ribs, this boy is the opposite. The good news is that I haven't gotten really huge like I thought I would. I hear the 2nd pregnancy you get a lot bigger than the first. Don't get me wrong, I am bigger at 5 months with this one than I was with Kaitlyn but still not huge to the point where I look "definitely pregnant." well here he is, cute huh?

Our due date is April 23rd (4 days before Kaitlyn's 2nd birthday). We have decided on a repeat c-section so "the day" will probably be a week or two before then. Unless this one also takes us by suprised like Kait. Jim is holding off his tatoo (dedicated to his children) to see what month this one is born in. The tentative name is Landon James. One of the only names we could both agree on. I hope we stick with it, I hate picking names out.

Kaitlyn is doing so well. She is out of daycare since Jim has moved to the night shift. I hope it doesn't bother her too much. However, I can see a BIG different in the relationship between her and her daddy. Dont' get me wrong, she loves her daddy and always has. But with me around, it was hard. Now she gets a lot of just "kaitlyn and daddy" time and it is great. She is a regular parrot and likes to repeat everything. She gets into everything and loves to scream. So I guess she is a normal toddler. Keeping clothes on her can be difficult. If it were up to her, she would run around naked all the time. Speaking of her highness, here she is. This is about the only decent picture I could get of her while trying to get Christmas pictures taken. She just doesn't sit still...again...definitely a toddler.

School is the same for me. Nothing new to report. Like mentioned earlier, Jim moved to the night shift. He works three nights a week (7pm - 7 am). It is still rather new and he is getting used to it still. However, it does save us in childcare costs and he gets a lot more time with his little girl. Not to mention, he doesn't work 4 days of the week :) That is all for now..i will try to keep up
