If you haven’t heard by now, we’re expecting again! Baby #2 is due March 28th and so far it has been an uneventful pregnancy. I’ve been feeling good, just tired, and this past week I’ve been feeling definite kicks and movement of the baby. The ultrasound is Friday so we are looking forward to seeing the little one and we’ve decided to keep the gender a surprise again. Lauren will occasionally ask if there is a baby in my tummy and pat my growing belly, but she has no clue what she is in for- hopefully she loves a brother or sister as much as she loves her baby dolls!
Lauren had a fun Halloween- although she told her daycare teachers that she was going to be a dinosaur, she didn’t seem to mind her Snow White dress. She was very excited about all the candy but has mostly forgotten about her stash… we’ve found that a couple peanut butter cups before bedtime does not help her settle down to go to sleep!

I don’t think we know exactly why, but last week we decided to transition Lauren to what we tell her is a “Big Girl Bed”. Maybe it was the traveling we’ve done this summer and the realization that Lauren is quickly out growing the pack-n-play crib. More likely though it was that strange desire to knock off another milestone in Lauren’s development so we can feel like we know what we’re doing. Similar to that desire to see her crawling or walking; followed by the realization of how much more supervision each milestone requires. So of course I envisioned weeks of putting Lauren to bed only to have her climb out telling us she isn’t ready to go to sleep. The first night we put her down and sure enough an hour later not a peep. Three more nights and still nothing. Maybe it’s the fact we really didn’t change beds, but simply removed a side of her crib and replaced it with a small guard rail to keep her from falling out. Either way I’m sure the fact that I’m typing this out and publishing it, means I’ll be awakened in the middle of the night for the rest of this week by two little eyes whispering the words “I wake up!”
