Yowzers!

Can you really even say you have a blog if you haven't written in four months?!  A lot sure has happened since I last wrote.  Our niece, Ainsley Grace, was born on October 9, 2013.  I got to be there for her birth and it was such an amazing experience.  She is a perfect little girl and her parents are doing an amazing job!

She's growing too quickly!

I've been lucky enough to see Ainsley every month since her birth, but I haven't seen her yet in January and don't know if I will be able to.  I miss her so much already!

Also, in other baby news we are expecting our own little bundle of joy in March!  Less than two months away!!  I have been very fortunate to have had such a smooth pregnancy so far.  No nausea, heartburn, sleepless nights, or really any other negative side effects.  I feel great, if just a little slower getting up and around these days.  I hope the labor, birth & baby are as easy as the pregnancy has been.  I also haven't really had any cravings or odd pregnancy quirks.  I've just been eating a lot more ice cream than I normally would, but I feel like it all the time anyways.  The holidays were a really good time to be pregnant because I was just able to eat as much as I wanted of everything.  I think only once have I actually gorged myself completely.  It was due to a delicious dim sum lunch and I couldn't eat for the rest of the day.  I basically had to lay in bed because of my poor food control.

Our baby is quite the active little peanut (well, actually more like a honeydew at this point) and it is so fun to feel the love moving around in there.  We don't know the gender yet and are waiting until the big day to find out.  Drew & I worked a lot on the nursery this weekend and have it just about all set up.  It is looking pretty cute in there and we are so excited/astonished that we will have a baby living with us soon!  Hopefully I'll be better at blogging once our baby arrives.  I know I'll have lots of updates then! Since I missed posting for most of my pregnancy, here is a my most recent photo - 32 weeks.
