My new blog!

So my sister in law, Katy, inspired me with her great blog to start one of my own. With our families living so far away this will be a great way to stay in touch and keep everyone updated on the latest. I will try to stay on top of things with news and pictures- it shouldn't be too hard since I'm home everyday now. That is until baby number two arrives! I am 29 weeks pregnant and have my next doctors apt. Mon. I will set my c-section date that day. I can't believe how fast this whole pregnancy has gone. It seemed to be a lifetime with Erin because that was all I had to think about. It's so exciting the first time when you envision coming home with a little baby to a perfect home and family and letting her sleep in her perfect nursery. Now I am remembering sitting on the couch at 2 am almost in tears from exhaustion because Erin didn't want to sleep or getting up every 1½ hours to pump and feed. Atleast I'll be more prepared now! It should be interesting trying to juggle a toddlers schedule too but I keep being told that millions of moms do it everyday so I will survive! Erin seems to really understand now that she will be having a baby sister. She is constantly wanting to look at and listen to my belly and asks what the baby is saying. She was able to feel her hiccups the other day and now always asks if she has hiccups again. She has started calling her baby doll Mady and tells us that her sister is Mady (By the way we have pretty much decided on Madeline Kate for a name). She asks me when the baby is coming and when we are going to the hospital. I think she will be a great little helper.

Hey there! So I'm a blogging fool, so I love this...even if we are just down the road!

I love your name! Kate is actually our pick for a middle name and possible first name too. It's so classic and beautiful!
