I was just talking to the one colleague of mine to whom I have disclosed the existence of this blog, and she mentioned that she had noticed my complete and utter failure to keep it up-to-date…so I figure now is as good a time as any to post an update (and try to be more diligent about continuing to do so on a more regular basis).
What have I neglected to blog about…well,
• Kennedy’s 1st Birthday Party (so much fun…great turnout…and all-around success if I do say so myself). I have a few pictures, but since I’m at work, I can’t post any at the moment).
• Christmas Eve at Prof Man’s parents’ place (great as usual…mmm…perogies and cabbage rolls…makes me hungry for next year already!).
• Flew out first thing in the morning on Christmas Day to Anaheim and spent a week in Disneyland with my parents and James and Danielle! Tons of fun, but completely and totally exhausting. So much so that even though we flew home for New Year’s Eve…we ended up leaving the party after less than an hour, and went home to relax and spent our second New Year’s Even in a row sitting on our couch! No regrets at all…just an indication that we’re getting old, I guess!
• My birthday was in there, as was Prof Man’s…both uneventful (again, because we’re old!).
I think that covers off the big “events”…other than one fun discovery that I will talk about in a minute. :)
I have been back at work now for almost 4 months. It’s still tough to concentrate when I have a sweet little nugget getting into trouble at home…but I’m getting better at it. I’m sure I’ll be right back to “normal” by the time I take my next maternity leave, ha ha!
And that brings me to my more important announcement: Kennedy has a baby brother or sister on the way!!! Expected due date is September 20 (but I now know better than to bank on the accuracy of the expected due date!). We’re super excited!
If that wasn’t enough excitement, we’re also moving in two months! We’ve sold our place (subjects still have to be removed though, so fingers crossed that that goes well)…and are currently hunting for a new place (which I think we’ve found, but we’re waiting to start negotiating in the hopes that we get a good price). One way or another, we’re moving by May 15! Crazy! Did I mention we’re moving to the ‘burbs!? Uhh…yeah. 2 adults, 1 baby, 1 baby on the way, and 1 dog = need a bigger house! On top of that, with my parents moving to California at the end of the month (oops, guess I forgot to mention that as well…lots has happened since I last posted!)…we needed a guest bedroom as well…so suburbs it is! I’m actually really excited now that I’ve wrapped my head around it. This will be our first actual house!
So, new baby and new house. Is that enough of an update!?
I should talk about Kennedy…she is, after all, the whole raison d’être for this blog! That little sweetheart is a handful! I mean that in a good way, but seriously…she is nuts!
(1) She’s a climber. That in and of itself is going to send me to an early grave (I will post pictures of some of her escapades).
(2) She’s freakin’ clever! Obviously. But seriously…she was climbing on her piano and bench to get at some hair bows that I had hanging on her wall…so we moved the piano and bench. Well, she quickly figured out that she could carry the bench to wherever she wanted, and climb at will! We’ve since had to hide the piano bench, lol!
(3) She is a chatterbox! She doesn’t really have words yet (well…not many), but she never stops chattering! It’s hilarious. When she does figure out her words, we won’t be able to shut her up! Like mother like daughter, I guess!
(4) She’s got music in her. If she’s not singing, she’s dancing. Often she’ll be dancing to whatever song we have playing…but even there’s no music on…she’ll start singing and then dance to her own song! So cute.
Okay…I really should get back to work. This has been a seriously unproductive day. I’ve spent most of it staring at pictures of the house that I think we’re going to buy. Must.try.to.work. Especially since I only have approximately 6 months left of work before my next maternity leave – woo hoo!
