Update

It has been awhile since I updated - all is good.

Colin is getting so big - he is already 2 1/2 years old - where does the time go??  He is talking up a storm - he cracks me up - he says the funniest things.  I love when he says I wuve you Mommy - melts my heart.  He is no where near being ready to be potty trained and I am not pushing the issues at all.  He also has no desire to have a sibling and does not want to be a big brother so we will be in for it in a couple of weeks for sure with him.



I am 32 weeks pregnant now and all is going pretty well - no surprise trips to L&D so far with this pregnancy which is good.  I have only gained 9 pounds so far which I am pretty happy about.  Summer is a hard time to be very pregnant though - I have a hard time breathing.  I get horrible heart burn and short of breath very often.  Yesterday my ankles swelled up for the first time but that is because I had a super busy weekend and was on my feet a lot.  My white blood cells are also low because of the blood thinners I am on so I may need to be put on steroids if they get below 100. 



Cara's room is all painted and decorated and ready to go - I just finished washing and putting away all of her clothes - most of which were handed down to me from friends.  I have the bassinet up in our room - I bought and wrap a present for Cara to give to Colin in the hospital.  I got a big brother shirt for Colin to wear when he meets Cara for the first time in the hospital.  We have a game plan and my hospital bag is pretty much packed.



I have been nesting big time as you can tell - I also had my car detailed and my carpets professionally cleaned in the house.  I am ready - well as ready as you can be I guess.  My friend is throwing me a sprinkle on July 13th so I am looking forward to that as well and John and I are going to a fancy dinner for our anniversary this weekend as a last outing for awhile.

You are on a roll! I can't believe you've gotten so much stuff done. If only I had that much energy. And this summer heat is going to kill me!!

Love the nursery! Happy anniversary to you guys. Our anniversary is tomorrow (14 years) and will probably go to dinner this weekend to celebrate. I feel like we are so over due for a date night!!
