Update, it's been a while!

Things have been ultra busy with Ariella, the pregnancy (I'm in the 3rd trimester now), and I started a new job.

So, Ariella is a little gem. She loves playing outside! Her language is still behind (in fact I'm meeting with a lady from MO first steps on Monday about her), but she is talking a little more. She says something like diaper and cracker. She gets so excited when she says it and we get excited. She's super cute. She is communicating what she wants, though. She takes our hand and puts it on what she wants. For example, she puts my hand on the counter where I make her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches when she wants one, and she puts our hands on the doorknob when she wants us to open the door to go outside. She babbles like crazy and loves to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (with babble words to the melody). She also has fun practicing walking backwards, and she loves brushing her teeth. That's part of our morning routine, and sometimes at night she wants to brush them again. Ariella knows something's up regarding the pregnancy. I don't think she realizes there's a baby in there, but she likes to lift up my shirt and touch my belly.

The pregnancy has been pretty normal. The only thing that has come up has been that Connor's kidneys were a little big at the anatomy ultrasound, so I have to get them rechecked on Nov 4th. No preterm labor this time yet, so yay for that. I'm at 30w and a few days, and I had the preterm labor with Ariella at week 29. I'm really trying to make sure I stay hydrated and eat enough. I don't want to go though that again. So far so good, though.

I started a new job on Oct 3rd. It's actually the company I used to work for. I was there 7 years. After Tyree started there a couple of months ago, they started recruiting me to go back. It's been good but is demanding.

I took Maternity/Halloween pictures as part of my birthday present. Here's the link:
