SURPRISE!!!

We are expecting again! The due date is February 18th. Tim and I both think that it will be another girl. I am excited, but very much overwhelmed. Gracie turns 3 on January 30th so I will have three kids, three and under. I said we weren't going to have another baby until Lindsey was potty trained but now we'll be lucky if Gracie is fully potty trained. I love my girls so much and we already love the new baby. Lindsey came pretty soon after Gracie too and we are so glad she is here so I know it will all work out, I'll just need a lot of help. :)

Tim will be leaving for training on September 14th and won't return until November 20th. I've been pretty nauseous and completely drained of energy so the girls and I will be flying home to Idaho while Tim is gone. Plus, this way we will get to be there when Heidi has her baby and we will be staying into December because Daniel will be getting home from his mission! It will be good for the girls to be surrounded by grandparents and aunts and uncles because their mom has been pretty worthless lately. Plus we've been trapped in our apartment all day every day and we need a yard and space away from neighbors on every side. We got a noise complaint saying that we were loud before 8 a.m. and I was so upset. I'm sorry that I have two children who wake up at 6 or 7 every morning. Even then we haven't been excessively loud. It's frustrating that there are smokers all around us, dogs barking, and people blasting music and talking in the parking lot late at night and we are the ones that get a complaint. I am so done with apartment living.

The girls were so cute when I showed them the ultrasound pictures and told them it was the baby! They both got really quiet and just stared intently and then Gracie took one picture and stroked the baby with her finger. It was so cute! They know and remember so much more than us. Little sweeties!
