Nesting

For 20 weeks I've been pretty much in denial that we are having a second child.  I'm terrified of how we will adjust and how Abby will adjust.  She is THE priority in our life and we don't want her to feel short changed.  I'm panicked about all the work that we need to do in and out of our house because in my mind two kids means we will be in poverty.  Sure we have lived her for four years but suddenly it feels like everything needs to be done right NOW.  I've been purging this house room by room and in an effort to make this pregnancy real to me a few weeks ago I painted the nursery and Tim helped move all the furniture in.  Do you think Abby's baby brother/sister will sleep well in this little room?

Makes me smile to open the door and see all these baby things that were Abby's.

Yet I feel guilty about how much cuter this room looks with this paint color then the green we chose for her.

Can't imagine how many hours I'll be spending in this little nook. Yep that's the Boppy all clean and ready to go.

When she wakes up from her nap I hope to get some pictures of her big girl room.  Side note -I knew she was tired why does she fight me:)??

Did you miss us??

We did it!!!  This is one Abby's current favorite phrases.  Tim is officially a college graduate and has stopped taking our computer hostage.  I don't even know where to start so today I just want to record some of favorite things Abby says right now before they become lost in our foggy memories.

All aboard
Dinosauraus
Um on (come on)

She is trying really hard to sing twinkle twinkle and has the rhythm but maybe 15% of the words and she is getting there with the alphabet song and old mcdonald.  Every day there is something new she is saying that takes us by surprise.  Yesterday was all aboard, wonder what today will bring.  What's your favorite phrase your little is stuck on right now?

Enjoying her first time in ball pit on our Door County vacation.
