My goodness it has been too long since I've written. I can't write too much now because it is late and my little love-bug is getting sick so we'll be up a lot tonight with her cough. I thought if I could at least break the dry-spell, and write a little something, I might get my motivation back. (I think it's working!) I've missed writing. A lot has happened in the last year. I can hardly believe Amelia will be two-years-old next month! Amazing!
Amelia is still my little sunshine and I am surprised at how much brighter the joy continues to get as time passes. Starting to count and sing her ABCs, Amelia strings words in to sentences, dances and loves to play "mommy" to all her teddy-bears. She's a funny, silly little girl, gets very shy in front of people she doesn't know well, clings to me most weekends and can be very sensitive. She'll frown at us with her heavily burrowed brow if she dissapproves of something we've said (like 'no') and yell "no no! not nice!" at her teddy-bear for the least little offense. But when she isn't being bossy she hugs her little friends, pushes them through the house in her carriage and covers them lovingly with her favorite blankie as she pats their backs gently and says "night-night teddy". Amelia LOVES shoes and bags and going "owside". Grandma and Grandma drive the hour to our house to see Amelia every week at least once and often twice - we are very lucky and love to see them - and they even spring her from jail...errrr....I mean school about once a week.
I am still working at the same job, although there are a lot of changes there, and Amelia is at a new day care center. Piotr brings Amelia to "school" each morning and picks her up and I miss that morning routine that used to be mine and hers. But for now it is working best for us. I still hate to leave her. I still want to spend all my free moments with her. And even though she is now developing her toddler-tude she is still a joy to be with.
Our big news is that I am blessed to be pregnant again and I am already 26 weeks! Yes, Amelia's little sister is due at the end of June. I'm seeing my midwives and the doctors at their office will be keeping close watch on my fluid levels as I approach the last month. So far this pregnancy is as wonderful as the first and aside from being a bit tired I feel great.
Well that is all for now. I will come back and share more and post some more pictures soon, and I know when baby-girl #2 arrives I'll have some time while on maternity leave to introduce her!
Until then, take care.
