I love my bath time!! Rubba-dub-dub - I love the tub...and my ducky!

Olivia just LOVES getting a bath! She kicks and kicks her legs to make the water splash and it is just so cute. She grabs her duck and shoves him in her mouth - well lately she will shove anything into her mouth! She could sit in the tub for hours. She is going to be one happy girl this summer when the pool opens. A few weeks ago Jose and I took her to the YMCA for swim classes (which ended up getting canceled) and she just loved being in the water! Our little fishy.

I have a Doctor's appointment on Monday - just a check up to make sure that everything is going well with baby number 2. Today I am 4 months along! WOW. I feel great - yesterday morning was a bit rough but all and all I feel really happy and good. I was trying to remember what I looked like last year at this time and I remember that I felt HUGE. I also met Lisa in Chicago for the weekend and I remember that I looked really pregnant then. I don't feel that I look as "big" as I did last year - or maybe I am just really getting use to this pregnant body! I will most definitely have to take next year off!

Our kitchen is complete and I am really happy with the outcome. I will have to get some pictures up on the blog. It was a long few weeks but totally worth it. It feels good to cook again.

Well - I am looking forward to the weekend. I need to head to the mall and pick up a few things for Miss Olivia - tights for her to wear on Easter (things like that.) I am also going to work on a scrapbook that I started for Olivia when I was pregnant with her, and I need to plan out the Easter menu. We are having Easter at our house this year and I need to figure out what we are having and who should bring what. Perhaps I will visit my friends on www.foodnetwork.com to see what goodies they have in store! Sunday is my mom's three year cancer survivor anniversary - a lot of crap has happened in those three years and I would bet that on occasion she would say that beating cancer was the easiest! Anyway - if you happen to think about it, wear pink on Sunday for Michelle!Posted by Picasa

One Down - One To Go!

Our living room is complete! YEAH!!! The hardwood floors are down and the new couch, tv and chest are all here and I love the way this room came out! It looks amazing! The couch is so cozy - perfect to snuggle up on!

The weather has been awesome the past two days - today even hitting 80! I sure do hope these warm days stick around...I took Olivia for a walk after dinner tonight and she loved it. She loves being in her stoller and walking around the neighborhood.

I feel really good - I am heading into my 16th week of pregnancy with number two - I just can't believe how fast the time has gone by. Olivia sure keeps me busy - but I honestly can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. It sure is much easier the second time around. I feel much better and I know what to expect. Olivia is 7 months old today and she is SUPER! I couldn't have asked for a better baby - I just love her!

The Beloved Diaper Bag!
I have been wanting and wanting a Coach Diaper Bag since the moment I found out I was pregnant with Olivia. I mean - I REALLY wanted one. I looked at them over and over again and I could not bring myself to spending that much money on a diaper bag. When I found out I was pregnant with number 2 - I thought to myself - I am going to treat myself and buy that diaper bag...I mean if you are pregnant 18 out of 24 months you should at the very least get a good diaper bag! Well, this week Jose presented me with my beloved coach diaper bag! It's gorgeous - as you can see from the photos! I was very excited! I almost don't want to use it because it's so gorgeous and clean - soon enough it will be covered in spit-up and poop!
When you are a mom you can have stroller envy and diaper bag envy - I shall have diaper bag envy no more!!

House = Disaster!

....that is what I am living in right now! Jose and I decided to redo some things inside our house and right now I want to move out! We have stuff everywhere!! Our living room is a disaster..we are putting in new hard wood floors so all of our furniture is either in the garage or in the office. Our kitchen looks like a bomb hit it...no counter tops, no sink, no cabnets....and we have set up a temporary kitchen in the bathroom. I want to move into a hotel for the rest of the week!

So, I am feeling really good...I feel 100% better than I did when I was pregnant with Olivia. I am very tired but other than that feeling really good! Olivia is doing GREAT! She is getting SO big!! I love every minute with her.

Bed is calling...the time change is getting the best of me!
