Holli is now six months along in this wonderful pregnancy.We did find out we are having a GIRL! we are very excited. We were hoping for a boy but we are just as happy to be adding another angel to our family. Our son will come when it is time:) It has definitely been a very hard pregnancy for her. between having braxton hicks contractions and regular painful ones it has not been easy. She recently went to her doctor for a check up and found out that the opening to her cervix was extremely soft and so her doctor was afraid that she might start leaking fluid. Combined with the contractions it does not make for a great combination. So she has been taking it as easy as she can.
KaraLynn is right in the middle of potty training. She has been doing ok so far. We are only on day three of constant going, but have been trying to get her trained for several months. she just barely decided she was ready for it so needless to say we are ecstatic to not have to change two sets of diapers when the new one comes along. she is getting so big and her hair is super long. grows a lot faster than mom... She has been having a lot of fun with coloring books and likes to sing already. she is actually really accurate when she mimics notes. She will be three in May.
Steve is still working over at the Draper prison transporting inmates to various places. he loves it for the most part, but hates not knowing when he will be off work. the hours are so different every time its hard to plan anything. He is working really hard on the new baby room and it is so so cute. We are doing brown with pink and light green accents and i will post pictures when it is all complete. but he is really proud of how its turning out. He loves to come home and play with Kara. She misses him so much during the day so it is always a relief to see her happy and playing with her daddy... since he will have two he will have to share his adoration for both. somehow i think it will be really easy for him to do....
So thats our family right now. getting close to our second one and very excited for the whole prego thing to be over and done with. We will keep you posted.
