Well, since the last post our family has had so much going on. The Holidays were wonderful. For Halloween we got pumpkins and Emily loved helping daddy pull the seeds and slime out. For Thanksgiving Emily had her first airplane ride when we all went to see James' family in California. For Christmas we were all sick with colds but we had a great relaxing day. And we thought we were so thrifty when we realized that we got 11 movies for $31! And the New Year has come and I will announce that we are expanding our family by two feet! Haha yes indeed. We are expecting another little girl in May! We couldn't be happier.
I have been really sick again with this pregnancy but thankfully this time around I was given Zofran and I have been able to function. However I am still exhausted all the time and find that my patients is very thin. Poor Emily has been in trouble a lot. But since I've been so tired all the time we spend a lot of time cuddling and snuggling on my bed or rocking in the glider. She loves it when I sing songs to her. We sing lots of primary songs and hymns. And sometimes we sing silly songs because they make her laugh.
I have so many plans for re-arranging the baby room. I'm going to have to get Emily a toddler bed and that is going to take up a lot of space. I'll have to get her bed sheets and stuff for it too. Oh boy. This could be fun. Now I can go all out on girly things rather than have to go neutral!
James is working at a good job. We are so lucky that he got this job. Since we moved to Missouri he has been working at Wal-Mart. He started out as an un-loader working from 4 pm to 1 am. Then once we moved to Springfield he worked and an overnight floor waxer. He went in at 10 pm and got off at 7 am. We really hated those days. He had to get up and go to class after only getting a few hours of sleep during the day and then had to rush back to work after class. It was pretty miserable fro us both. We both had to sleep alone and Emily never got to see daddy. Then James was offered the opportunity to work in the Wal-Mart Vision Center. Now he works during the day and is home at night. He takes on-line classes that help him be able to do it at his own pace (for the most part) and still lets him be home with us. So aside from a limited bank account (which everyone struggles with) we are doing pretty well. Tomorrow we will have beat our family record by living in one place for a whole year! Happy Anniversary to us :) We have a lot to be thankful for.
