July 2011

In July our little family is going to grow by 1. We are excited to welcome a new little one in July of 2011. Well at least that is the hope. I am about 14 weeks pregnant and feeling good. It was extremely wonderful that we got pregnant when we did. It will be so fun to have a new one in our home. We have wanted a new little one for a while. Heavenly Father knows exactly when these little ones need to come to our homes and ours should be arriving around mid July. I am thinking it will be more like mid to end of June, but I can hope for July. We are definately going to find out what we are having but that won't be until the end of Feb. We are hoping for a girl but we will take whichever girl or boy. Two of my sister-in-laws are also expecting this summer. It will be so nice to have some other cousins for this new little one. Alex has plenty of cousins his age. 5 in one year to be exact and he loves to play with them. Also our ward is exploding with new babies this spring and summer meaning more friends for this new little one. I will be going to the doctors next week to see how things are going. I went last week to the cardiologist and everything looks great. My pressures are the same as they were when I was pregnant with Alex which means my pulmonary hypertension is very mild. When I was pregnant with Alex my pressures actually decreased. So hopefully the same will happen again. Again we are super excited to add to our family.
In other news Alex is doing great. He is talking so much it is great. Last night I was listening to him play and he was able to count to 9 without any help. If I help him he can count to 15. As many people know Alex is extremely active and doesn't have a lot of time to learn things but he is a smart little one. He will ask me to fix or do something if I can't then he says he will either ask his daddy or pop-pop because they can do everything in his eyes. He is already getting a little spring fever which is going to be hard since we still have a few months of winter left. He does keep himself entertained with watching his Thomas the train movies, Elmo and others. But we are excited for the weather to warm up and to play outside with friends. Till next time.
