Me: I don't need to rest anymore... for those of you who were concerned. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I'll probably still try my hardest to take it easy though (very difficult with a 17 month old). I just finished the whole Harry Potter series (I know I'm a little behind), I loved every single page of it. I read every second that Caitlyn was resting. Ash says that Harry Potter consumed my life for the the past few months... Well, sweetie... I'm back!!! Today, when Caitlyn went down for nap, I kinda didn't know what to do with my free time, so I started cleaning my much neglected house. My friend Sandy was reading the books along side me and we finished the exact same day. We have a Harry Potter Movie-a-thon planned to start on Wednesday and plan on seeing the 6th movie together, (which comes out on July 17th & I already have a babysitter lined up for what will then be my 2 kiddos). I'm 24 weeks along with Baby Boy Riggs and I still feel good... other than being really tired and I am constantly trying to catch my breath...probably from running after speedy Caitlyn.
Ash: He's a saint... really! He's been neglected since I started to read and has put up with the occasional mood swings pregnancy and lack of sleep has brought on. He is skipping this soccer season (each season only lasts a couple of months), but is picking up 2 games tonight. He's working hard to get the house ready for baby number 2, along with putting in some extra time in at work. I love him!!!
Caitlyn: Loves life and we love having her in ours! She is such a little blessing. Not talking a whole lot but makes up her own words and movements for things so it is getting easier to understand and communicate with her. She loves to dance and watch nursery rhymes (she's even learning to do the hand motions to some of the songs). Believe it or not... we've began potty training. Really, we're just introducing her to the 'potty'. She is absolutely adorable sitting on it. She is able to let us know when she has done 'something' in her diaper so we ask her, "do you need to go potty?" She usually runs straight to the bathroom and sits on the little potty. Recently, she sat there for a while... then ran to the kitchen, peed on the floor... then ran back to the potty and sat down! She'll learn in time, it really is amazing watching her learn and grow! Caitlyn is looking forward (with her friend, Avery) to being a big sister!
That's all for now! Thanks for reading!
