Update

Wow... it has been almost 5 months since I have posted! I am going to try and get back into the hang of blogging, but I am guessing Carson will be 6 months old before I blog again. A quick update:

Carson - I am 37 weeks pregnant and my C-section is scheduled for December 30th. I have a crazy hunch that this little guy is going to come early, but I guess we will just have to wait and see! Maybe he will be our Christmas present this year :) My pregnancy has gone really smoothly (praise the lord) and we are all just so excited to meet this little or big guy for that matter and see Laney as a big sister. Carson moves ALL the time. Jordan and I enjoy watching my belly roll around. I can tell he loves to hear us sing, because every time I sing to Laney he seems to go crazy. I am still fairly comfortable with just some pelvic pressure and soreness. I had an appointment yesterday and Carson was low and I was open and dilated to 1cm. This is farther than I made it with Laney when they induced me at 39.5 weeks. My next appointment is on Wednesday.

Laney - At 21 months she is as busy as ever and such a smartie pants. She talks ALL day long NONSTOP. I absolutely love it. She counts to 10 and shouts "YAHHHH" when she is done counting, she enjoys stacking blocks, coloring, tinkerbell, elmo, abbie, and zoe. Bath time is always fun as she enjoys "swimming" and playing with her teaset. She LOVES to sing and always wants us to sing to her. If only one of us is singing she will say the other person's name until they start singing too. Some of her favorites are twinkle twinkle, wheels on the bus, elephant song, early in the morning, and rock a bye baby. She has motions to all of these songs and can sing at least one verse or line for each song. Laney lovea animals especially cats and dogs. About 3 weeks ago Laney started sleeping in a big girl bed, well a toddler bed. We found her straddling the crib twice in a row, riding it like a pony. We decided we didn't want a newborn and then have a toddler with a broken leg, so we nervously made the transition and it was a breeze. She got out of bed one time and tried to open the door. I put her in her bed and told her she needed to stay in bed and she has never tried again. In fact the past two nights in a row I tell her it is bed time and we walk upstairs together and she crawls in bed. She has been taking something into bed with her each night. Usually it is a doll, book, or a stuffed cat. Laney wants to be a big kid so bad and always enjoys watching and playing with the older kids. I really could go on and on so I think I will stop now.

Mommy - I am busy working with only 5 work days left until next school year. I am SO excited to be a stay at home mom, even if it might be temporary. I am sad however, to leave my co-workers and students. I have the most amazing group of kids this year and my staff at work is awesome. I am sure we will have plenty of play dates as there are currently 7 pregnant people (or more?!?) plus 2 new babies and a few toddlers that are Laney's age. I enjoy playing with Laney and going to do new things with her. I love to introduce her to new things and see her vocabulary expand like wild fire.

Daddy - He is busy working. He started a new crew this summer called, Target Zero. They focus on getting DUIs and they don't respond to the regular crashes and such. He really enjoys his job and is busy working overtime so that I can have an extended maternity leave ( thanks honey!). In fact today is his birthday and he is sleeping at the moment, but Happy Birthday Jordan we love you! In his spare time he of course loves to have mini family getaways and play his xbox.

I guess that is it for now. Hopefully I can updated often and keep them short and sweet :)
