yikes!

its been well its been about 4 months since i last updated for real. Currently we are at 21.5 weeks pregnant and its a girl!  I've started collecting clothes (all hand me downs so far and i'm pretty sure i will have NO need to buy this lady ANYTHING) we have gotten SO many cute things! I can't wait to have a girl running around and evening things out around here!
Noah is getting huge and even with his speech delay he's finally starting to talk up a storm.. he seems to be excited about getting his own baby but i dont think he can possibly actually comprehend the storm that is about to land in his direction! He LOVES trucks, cars, airplanes, helicopters, and busses... basically if it is big and moves.. he likes it! I have started creating a big boy room for him where our guest room used to be.. i think he's going to love it.. i used magnetic primer in parts of it so that he will be able to play with magnets on his wall. Its bright blue and bright green and he will have bunkbeds and a cars/construction mat to drive his cars on.. as i type this he made his way over to the couch and pulled up my shirt and started kissing my belly saying "hi baby" ... he's such a love even though he's most certainly a two year old boy.. ALSO .. notably last night i took him to the market with me and he likes to sit in the carts that have the car on front .. well they are completely enclosed and apparently while we were inthe checkout line he snagged himself 6 full sized candy bars.. a whole variety.. no 2 the same.. that was an embarassing two trips back inside to return them as i found them.. he was very proud of himself when we got to the car though! " LOOK MOMMY!!" with two hand fuls of candy! I talked to him about the wrong things to do but i couldn't be mad because he sees me put things into the cart and then we stand around for a minute and then walk out.. i dont thinkhe comprehends what that standing around thing has to do with anything!
We just celebrated our 1 year homeivarsary on the 3rd (chris' birthday) and it made me feel like i REALLY need to finish painting this place so that it looks more homey and decorated... i just have soooo much going on right now! Been feeling pretty good.. at last dr. checkup i had gained 3 lbs total and i think that was at 19 weeks.. so thats a significant improvement to the disaster that was my waist during the last pregnancy.  I've been busy with sewing and embroidering but currently my machine is at the shop getting a tune up .. i miss it .. hah that thing hasnt seen the closet .. ever! she has a permanant spot on the craft desk .. but i thought she deserved a tune up and some adjustments! anyway nap time for the kidlet and the momma!
