Baby Number 2

Well I guess the title of the post says it all, we are pregnant again. We found out 2 weeks ago that we are expecting out second little one the beginning of October. We were VERY shocked to learn this especially since I have been on the pill since Kaylee was born. We are getting over the shock now and are getting excited. I found out the day John left for his Minnesota trip so we have been waiting to tell our family and friends until he got back. I've already had a doctors appointment and they said everything looked great..my due date is October 5th. I talked the doctor into giving me an early ultrasound last week while I was having an office visit and she couldn't see much but she did say she saw a heartbeat..so thats good. I have my regular ultrasound and office visit next Thursday and I should get some pictures. Kaylee and this little one will only be about 18 months apart so we know we will definitely have our hands full. I'll be sure to post sonogram pictures next week when I get them.

Minnesota

John has been in Minnesota the past two weeks for school and he just got back Thursday night..this was a very different experience for us because he has only been out of town one time since we have been married and that was only for 2 days. Kaylee missed him a lot and she talked to him every day. Every time she would say "dada" I would tell her that dada was bye bye so after the first week she was constantly saying "dada bye bye" and waving..haha it was so cute. Since I am not real big on staying home by myself we spent a lot of time at my mom and dads and then Ashlyn stayed with us on the nights she didn't have school. This was John's first time flying so he was a little nervous about catching his connecting flight in Atlanta but luckily everything worked out okay. He went to school all day during the week and they had the weekend off so he ended up going to the Mall of America which was about two hours from where he was staying..he said that the mall was so big that there was no way you could go through the whole thing in one day so he spent a little bit of time on each floor then spent the rest of his time in the nickelodeon amusement park thats inside the mall..it was very cold there, one day it was 8 degrees so he said walking anywhere was not much fun. He flew back in Thursday night and we were very glad to have him home with us...thanks to everyone who helped look after Kaylee and I while he was gone..we really appreciate it :)

Stair Climber

We are really having a tough time keeping Kaylee off the stairs these days. Our stairs are uneven at the bottom so we have not been able to find a gate that fits so instead I have been putting a Rubbermaid container at the bottom. Up until now this has detoured her but this week she realized that she could move it and up she goes..it's hilarious but frustrating at the same time because every five minutes she is climbing up them. Here is a video of her climbing today.
