Whoa!
It seems to be my daily sentiment since Sunday. Upon returning home from Florida, Joel and I found out that we were pregnant again. This surely is a shock to both of us, not because we dont’ know what causes it, but because we weren’t planning on becoming so, so soon. December was our plan. I guess July was God’s plan. So April 12 is my expected due date. I go to the doctor for the first time at the end of the month to have it confirmed and have all the routine stuff done.
Throughout the next 8 months, there will be a van, crib, car seat, and I’m sure a bunch more to purchase. I’m glad I’m home full time now as my energy level this week alone has plummeted. I’m early to bed and I long to take a nap during the time that Ruthie sleeps.
So now that the news is out there…
We had a great time in Florida with Momga and Papa. Ruthie had a swim in the pool and a little bit of time in the swing there. She shopped and ate at restaurants perfectly. We had one day that she didn’t sleep very well but thankfully it was just a one day deal. I did get my birthday present early - it’s a “new” used Baby Lock serger. Joel and Mom and Dad went half on it. The previous owner got fed up with it upon bending a piece and thus sold it back to the dealer. It was hardley ever used so after a quick fix, it is now mine. I’m excited to finally have it. My sewing will be made easier now.
Peanut is still combat crawling though the coordination is coming. This week we are in the shreaking mode. There are still no noticable words - dada hasn’t been heard again - but I’m hoping shreaking will go by the wayside soon and Mommy and Daddy will be heard. She chased the cats the other day and made it to the kitchen and front hallway. Everyday a new lightbulb turns on. Chewing of cords is still an issue though I think she is learning “no” here and there.
Well. There is the update. Maybe I’ll have pictures ready later today. If so, I’ll post them. It may be tomorrow. Who knows.

Erin & Joel,
Congratulations!!!!! My girls are 15 months apart and I think you are going to love having your babies close in age. They will be great friends growing up. And to be honest, you don’t have to do much extra for two as you are already doing for Ruthie. I’m still waiting to see pictures of your new haircut.
Congrats again.

Sorry I still don’t have a picture of my haircut. I haven’t had an opportunity where I looked decent enough for a picture. It is still one length and just past my shoulders so it isn’t that different. Just dramatic to cut 8 inches off all at once.
