baby #2

Baby #2 will be joining us on August 22nd! I am in the second trimester and I'm just barely getting around to posting about our family's newest excitement. Where have I been?? Ben and I had the surprise of a lifetime back in December, just days before we visited family in Utah. We decided to share our big news during our Christmas celebrations, although I was only a few weeks along. Lucky we did because there was absolutely no hiding the belly that was already showing...at 4 weeks along. I was always told that the second pregnancy would be different. Your body knows what to do this time. You know what to expect and plan accordingly.... the list goes on. So, with great bribery from friends...here I am at 16 weeks. I didn't expect to look like a whale already, but oh well!. :)

16 weeks and counting!

Anyway, we are super excited for a new little family member to join us. Heavenly Father obviously has a plan for us so we are moving forward with faith that I can handle two little children at home while working and that Macee will adjust just fine sharing her mommy. We'll have another summer pregnancy, so wish me luck in this heat!

I can't leave a post without my princess, Macee. She just turned 18 months today. I snapped this picture of her while she was helping me with laundry a few days ago. After she climbed in the dryer, I had to throw Zoe in there with her just so she'd stay for a picture. Do any of you have advice on how to keep a toddler clean? I think this was taken in the morning...and this is what she looked like.
