Plugging Along

Life with a toddler can be unpredictable at times....okay well most of the time really! Faith continues to be my little sweetheart and that will never change. HOWEVER there are days where she eats like a champ and then days where she barely picks at any of her food. Now her favorite phrase with a big smile is to say "I don't like it". There are days when she sleeps tremendously well and then days where she barely catches a wink. Sometimes she sounds like a caged animal in her crib as she kicks the wall and throws things about. She's our darling little girl and I love her immensely, but whoever said that the newborn phase was the hardest was crazy. We continue to have fun with her though!

I'm starting to feel baby number two move around a bit here and there, which is exciting. I of course want to feel the movement all the time, but am enjoying what I get. If all goes well, we may just find out what we're having on Monday afternoon. Stay tuned for details to that exciting news!

Nothing really new on the job front for the hubby, though I keep hoping and praying and trying really hard to stay optimistic. I'd be lying if I said I don't have my moments of breaking down or getting frustrated. It's been nine long months if you can believe it! We're doing okay and both working tremendously hard, but it's not always easy. Oh I so hope that there are GOOD THINGS AHEAD in that department, but in the meantime we keep trying hard to enjoy the amazing blessings that we do have.

Until next time, hoping and praying for some resolution and to be able to just sit back and relax a bit!

I'm Back.....and It's Been Too Long!!

I can't believe that it's been so long, likely the longest I've ever gone without a post. Craziness! To say I've been busy is an understatement, as things have been hectic. Without further delay, I can share my big news that I am PREGNANT!! Yes, baby number two is due around August 30th and we are very excited. Faith will be a great big sister, but of course I'm a bit nervous as I know it will be a major adjustment and transition. I'm 16 weeks now and hoping that the nausea is behind me because it was a bit of a rough ride. In the meantime though, I am doing my best to enjoy and savor every second of the pregnancy and with just Faith.

I've been super busy with work, thankfully getting a lot of work through my existing clients. The hubby has had some interviews and has been quite busy with his freelance work as well. So far so good, and still hoping for more GOOD THINGS AHEAD!! We feel very blessed with this pregnancy and are just hoping that things work out with our situation before baby number two arrives in the late summer. Faith is bringing us much joy right now--we can hardly believe it when she repeats absolutely everything. We're in shock when she recites her "A, B, C's", and we are stunned when we hear her count up to 15. I'm so in awe of her and continue to just love her more and more everyday if that's even possible!!

So that's it......still trying to balance it all and having my good points and bad. Some days are awesome and I feel as if I can handle anything. Other days I feel like I struggle with even the easiest task and worry how in the world I will balance my career with my growing family. I'll do it and I know that I will, but hey it's going to be a wild ride in the meantime. More to come on these latest adventures of our family......I'm sure there will be plenty to tell over the next few months!!
