WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY! Okay, so I'm sure you all already knew that, especially if you are on Facebook. We are due October 13 and we find out if it's a boy or girl on June 1. I cannot wait! My first trimester was pretty rough, just like with Molly, but I'm 18 weeks and feeling much much better!
Molly has turned into such a little kid over the past few weeks. She's very independent and I feel like she has new words everyday. Things she likes:
- counting
- dancing/twirling
- throwing everything especially balls
- her slide
- Sesame Street - Abby and Elmo in particular
- the iPad
- swings
- water - loves splashing in puddles, taking baths and wading in fountains (can't wait for the pool to open!)
- Earth's Best Organic Snack Bars -- seriously, this is all she pretty much will eat right now
- coloring
- animals
- reading books
- running as fast as she can in the direction I don't want her to go
- being silly
- playing peek-a-boo
- balloons
Now that I feel better and the weather is nice, I try to take Molly to the park as much as I can. She is a master at climbing up the stairs and going down the slide. She would spend all day there if I let her. We often meet up with her friend, Kathryn, who is 4 months older than Molly... that's also fun for me because Kathryn's mommy is my friend since 3rd grade! ;) I like those play dates! We are looking into putting Molly into Soccer Bugs this summer -- just a fun weekly play session with other little kids that involves some soccer balls. I think she's going to like it!
Okay, last time I blogged, we had just gotten Gracie. Well, she has proven to be too much for us to handle. She just wants to play with Molly, but doesn't realize her size and often times ends up knocking Molly over or making her upset. Our condo is also too small for her, which isn't fair to her. Being home with both her and Molly has proved to be a challenge and adding a new baby to the mix is just going to complicate matters. I have kept in touch with her previous owners and told them the situation. They actually were happy because they had some regrets with giving her up and are so excited to have her back next week! Win win for everyone! We will miss her, but I'm sure she'll be glad to be back in some wide open spaces!
Ben is still working hard at Pure Matters. They celebrate the year anniversary of the company launch this summer and Ben will celebrate his year anniversary of working for them around the same time. Big milestones! I am officially a contractor for Pure Matters! I work about 20 hours a week from home maintaining their social media (facebook, twitter, pinterest) pages. My title is Community Manager. Yes, this is on top of my freelance writing, my dessert business and my blog -- which has since moved to http://supernovamom.com. Speaking of desserts, I just did my first wedding cake! It was so much fun and surprisingly stress free!
I am having fun juggling it all and I tend to thrive when I'm busy. I love being able to contribute to the family income but still spend every day with Molly. She brings so much joy to our lives and makes us laugh constantly. I try to savor every second because she is growing up so fast. Talking up a storm, learning new words all the time and constantly surprising me with how smart she is. She must get those brains from her daddy. ;)
I will try to update this blog more frequently, but I can't make any promises given my busy schedule. If you want to know what we are up to on a more frequent basis you can check out SuperNoVa Mom or just check out my facebook page!
