{long overdue}

Wow! I just realized it's been MONTHS since I've made a post! It's amazing how time flies by...

So we are expecting our second baby!!! We're very excited about this and feel extremely blessed to grow our family:) My due date is September 3rd so I'm almost 18 weeks! We will be finding out what we're having again. That ultrasound is in less than two week (next Thursday) and I can hardly wait to find out!

This pregnancy has been very similar to my last. I was very sick again and it lasted until about 16/17 weeks. It feels so good to be over that part and finally feel like I can enjoy this process. Yesterday was the first time I felt the baby move and was certain of it! That is definitely the highlight of being pregnant:) I kind of cringe at the thought of posting a belly picture this time around...it's not quite as cute as the first pregnancy. My belly is already the size it was when I was 20 weeks with Molly. Oh well...maybe I'll bring myself to do it sooner than later.

It still feels like we're settling into our house. We moved in the middle of my busy season...then it was the holidays...then I was pregnant sick! I'm finally feeling like unpacking the rest of those boxes sitting in our basement and I'm also tired of looking at our bare walls! I'm still planning on posting house pictures at some point.

I have a really slow wedding season this year. I just have a few weddings in May, June, and July and then I think I'm going to take a "maternity leave" just from weddings until Spring 2012. I definitely still want to shoot portrait sessions.

Molly is getting SO big! She is 18 months!!! I love her more and more everyday:) I'm really enjoying this time I have with her before there's a second child and life gets busier. One thing I love to do right now...that I'm sure I won't do with two...is get out of the house once or twice a week and grab lunch together. I think we both get tired of being in the house all day. It will be so nice when the weather is finally warm enough to go outside. Another thing I started doing with Molly to get out of the house is swim lessons. SO FUN! We had our first lesson last week and Molly (and I) LOVED it! She was by far the wildest child in class...I don't think she gets that if I let her go she'll sink to the bottom...haha:) They have the babies go under water a lot. Molly came up clapping and smiling every time. She was making everyone crack up:) I'll have to take a picture of her in her swimsuit...it's so cute!

A few things about Molly...

She LOVES Elmo...calles him Mo
She's still a great sleeper
Eats about anything you put in front of her (fruit is her favorite)
LOVES her daddy:)
Loves animals...especially the neighbor's lab
Smiles all the time
Says hi and bye to every person we come in contact with
Loves attention from people
Has a very sweet personality
Loves to dance and listen to music
She's 70% for height, 30% for weight
Her hair is almost long enough to put into a ponytail!
Never keeps her shoes or socks on (I get dirty looks from strangers all the time cuz she's barefoot)
She's very busy
Bath time is her favorite part of the day

I guess I could go on and on, but I have some album stuff I NEED to get to!

I'll try to post some recent pictures soon.
