Our baby has a name!

Lee and I finally had some time to sit down together and confirm a name for our new little girl.  We've been playing around with Mary Hazel for months now but decided that is it!  I told my grandmother (Hazel) a few nights ago so I guess there is NO changing our minds now!  We want to just use Hazel (call her by her middle name).  

Norah moved (or partially moved) into her "big girl" bed.  With the new baby coming, we decided that it was time to start the transition.  She does like her new bed but does not stay in it.  The naps so far have been short b/c she knows how to climb out!  Anyway, it is a huge step for us.  I am a little worried about putting her in it during the night b/c she can climb out and has figured out how to open doors!!!  I guess that I will just have to lock her in the room!!!

Lee will be home for good this Friday!!!  It has been a LONG 8 weeks (or at least the past few weeks have been long!).  I anxiously await his return!!!

10 weeks and counting...

Well...I have officially started to "nest"...the refrigerator is clean, the base boards are clean, the baby clothes are washed, my nursing pjs are washed...I AM LOOKING FOR THINGS TO CLEAN (which is so NOT like me)!!!!

I went to the doctor last week and she said..."11 more weeks to go"...and I said..."NO WAY"!!!! I absolutely CANNOT believe it!!! Things have been pretty crazy with Lee out of town...we have about 4 more weeks of him being away...we can make it!!!

The new baby (no name yet) is doing great...she gets bounced on all day long by her big sister...which will probably not change once she arrives. She is very active at night when I am trying to rest...it is bitter sweet for me b/c on one hand it keeps me up but on the other I like feeling her move...it makes me think about her (which I do admit I forget about sometimes during the day when I am chasing Norah around!).

NORAH...what can I say...I LOVE YOU! She has been such a handful lately...maybe that is b/c it has just been the two of us here...or...maybe she is getting the terrible 2's out of her system before her sister arrives!!! Her twin bed is on the way...we are going to attempt to move her into the twin bed before the baby arrives...

I will try to post some new pics soon...
