On the Cusp of the Double O

It's true--there is a new adventure waiting for JLO, LJ and me coming December 2013: being a family of four!  We are now currently, as JLO's cousin so poetically stated it, On the Cusp of the Double O. No, not twins, but one little nugget who is due to arrive mid-December.

LJ continually answers the question, "do you want a brother or sister?" with "I want a sister and a puppy." Sorry, kid. You might be disappointed on both accounts. Although according to how I've been feeling and what everyone says, he may just get that sister. Today, I'm puke-free and hydrated. I haven't been able to say that for the last fifteen weeks, so I'm hoping the second trimester "happy" period is really beginning. This first trimester was so different than with LJ, hence the reason everyone thinks its a girl.

So stayed tuned for more updates and insights on our journey of becoming a family of four!

It's been a big week!

It's been a big week around these parts. First, LJ requested to be moved from his crib into a big boy bed. With a lot of hesitation on our part, we agreed one Sunday morning. We had planned to do the big transition over Spring Break when there was more time for not sleeping if it didn't go well. Yet, instead we listened to LJ and switched him on a Sunday night. Good thing we did. He absolutely LOVES his Big Boy Bed and has been going to sleep and sleeping so much better since the switch. He also likes to show everyone who comes over his Big Boy Bed. Here is the last picture in his crib and the first one in the Big Boy Bed (notice his cousin's Lyla Bean's birthday balloon made an appearance in both!)



The other big news around our house is that finally after 16 years of driving the same type of car (Red or Black Toyota Corolla), I made the big switch to a new type, brand, and color. And I'm in love. Zoom. Zoom!
