We are closing in on 5 weeks remaining until baby girl is due. We are excited to meet her, and I am looking forward to being able to walk at my normal fast pace and not have to wear support stockings every day! However, we are also nervous about the major change this will bring about in our house as we add our 2nd child in the span of 6 months. Luke is doing great, and pats mama's tummy when we talk about baby girl. I'm sure he won't always be terribly excited about the new addition, especially during the first few months, but it will be fun to have them relatively close in age as they get older.

4 months

We've now been home with Luke for 4 months today. It seems like he's been with us for such a long time now, but it really wasn't that long ago that we were still stuck in the long waiting process wondering when our little guy was going to come home. That was such a hard time, and we feel for those who are still waiting.
It was about 70 here today, and he got to play in the sprinkler a little! The back patio is pretty warm right in the sun, so he got a few minutes of splashing outside. Good times:) Baby girl seems to be doing fine. She seems to be very active; I hope that doesn't mean that she won't sleep once she arrives!

We had a good Christmas here, and today we're enjoying a beautiful 75 degree New Year's day. Aaron's brother Jason and his son Anson are visiting for the week, and Anson got to go to baseball camp. The guys hit the trail this morning, and it's been mostly football since then.

We are at 31 weeks tomorrow, so the addition of our new little one is coming right up. I am definitely noticing my joints are more sore and lax, and I am more easily short of breath. No tough trails for me right now, that's for sure!

Happy New Year to all!!
