Fall has flown by and we are quickly approaching Christmas again! We have been doing great, keeping busy with work and chasing Olivia around. She is a very independent little girl... and although I may be biased, she is pretty smart too. She can identify a few letters, jibber jabbers all day long, loves to help with anything we are doing, like cooking, and has started to play in my shoes and wants to dress up. I am so excited for Christmas this year since she will be somewhat into opening her new presents. We are planning on converting our "junk room" into a playroom as a Christmas present and we also need to get the guest bedroom ready for the new little one. Im feeling a little overwhelmed with everything on my to-do list that I keep putting off!
Speaking of a new little one.... I have held out long enough. We found out on October 16 that we will be having another GIRL!!! Her name will be Nora Jayne and we cant wait to meet her!! At our 18 week ultrasound she was growing perfectly. I am even more excited that she will fit in all of Olivia's clothes since there birth dates will be just a few weeks apart. I feel like I am bigger with this pregnancy but that's normal I suppose. I have been feeling her move for about a month now but just this week I have realized she is a mover just like Olivia was. I can see my belly moving all around, especially at night. With Olivia, I did not see movement like that until about 26 weeks ( I am 23 weeks right now). I have been feeling pretty good, just tired of course and I haven't been able to eat a lot of meat. It seriously makes me gag which is unfortunate because I really do want to eat it usually.
So here are a few pictures from the last few months
