I am soooo excited to have a sweet little girl joining our family! I feel like she already has a lot of personality. She was moving around a ton during the ultrasound and even waved at me and Eric at one point! I feel her moving a lot, especially if Levi is sitting on my lap. She will also kick back if I push on her at all, like, "hey! That's my space!" Haha she's gonna need that with Levi around! Haha. But yeah, I am super excited to buy cute little girl clothes and for some reason this has also made me even more anxious to move! I feel like we are all on top of each other here already I can't imagine adding baby and all her stuff to the mix! I know there's no reason to rush and I'm sure a three bedroom apartment will open up well before May but I just am ready to get out of here and into a larger space. Although the thought of packing up our whole apartment is a little bit overwhelming! I think it will also be a good chance to purge some things as well. I already sold our single jogging stroller so we are taking steps in the right direction.
Anyway, besides news of baby girl, other good things also heralded in the new year including a lovely visit from Trey and Patty. It was so fun to get to spend some time with just them and hear some awesome and funny stories, especially from Trey about his childhood and teenage years. And Levi took to them so quickly! I was surprised considering he didn't remember them at all. But now he asks after them regularly. We have practiced him saying "Texas" so that he knows where they are now.
While Trey and Patty were here the three of us took Levi up to the Portland Children's Museum. It was a lot of fun to watch Levi have fun and explore. They got him a membership there for Christmas and I am super excited to get to take him up there whenever I want over the next year. It is much more relaxing to let him play with someone else's toys and make a mess somewhere where I don't have to worry too much about cleaning it up! Haha.
Levi was soo cute in his little builder's hat!
He also wanted Papi to wear one.
I love the serious expression that he gets on his face whenever he is concentrating on something.
So yeah, since Trey and Patty have gone home we've settled back into our routine. January 1st was a Monday so we took the opportunity to make some goals as a family during family home evening including the goal to eat a good serving of vegetables with every lunch and dinner and I have to say we have been rocking it so far! I made salad as the central portion of our meal two nights this week and feel so good about how I've also managed to make sure to at least offer Levi a veggie at pretty much every meal and some snacks too! I am so grateful that I am well enough now to start eating healthy again. I am still medicated (tried to wean this last week for one day and it did not go well at all so I'm back on the meds) but that's ok. At least the meds work and I'm functioning. I am grateful for them.
Anyway, so that's been life around here lately. I took Levi to the park yesterday while Eric had to go to a work meeting and snapped these super cute pictures of my boy. He's growing up so much and definitely, definitely in need of a haircut now!
He still loves his dragon boots. When given a choice of footwear he will always choose them :)
Love those blue eyes!
