Big changes.

So, we moved into a new house. We really love it here. I'm happy to be back in Hailey's school district, and it just feels 'right' living here. I hated our other house...HATED it. Lived there for a little over a year, and hated every bit of it. I dont feel that way here, and its so nice.

The pregnancy is going well. Just turned 14 weeks yesterday. 6 more weeks til we find out what we are having! I wish it were sooner, its driving us nuts :) We are dying to know.

Hannah just turned 2. What a big kid. She is so smart, she amazes me every day. Her talking is incredible, and the amount of things she knows is just awesome. She is so sweet and fun, and I just fall more in love with her every day. She is a great kid. She is still a crazy climber, and a loud-mouth, but she is a good kid. She has her moments, like any kid, but at the end of the day I am happy to have such a great toddler. There are too many brats out there, and my kid just isnt one of them.

Hailey is enjoying school as much as ever. Doing great of course, excelling in everything. I cant believe she turns 7 in a month...wow. I have been a mom for almost 7 years. Thats a long time! She is growing up so fast, and changing so much. She is a wonderful big sister, and is very excited to have a new sibling on the way (although, I think if its another girl, she will be disappointed). I really enjoy the end of the day, when Hannah is in bed & Seth is working, and I can sit and eat popcorn & watch tv (or a movie) with my big girl. Those moments are few & far between right now, but they are still so special to me. Hailey has an attitude problem sometimes, but again, she is SUCh a good kid & Im proud to call her my daughter. When I see kids the same age as mine, and see how they act & talk sometimes, it makes me realize I must be doing something right because my kids are sweet, caring little people and will continue to be. They both make me proud.

Seth got in a wreck a few weeks ago, maybe 3 or 4 weeks, I cant remember. A lady was driving through an intersection with her eyes closed, because she says she was praying. Seriously? I wont go into how stupid I think that is. Seth had a bulging disk in his neck, but steroids took care of that I guess. He is now seeing a chiropractor for 6-8 weeks & has a classic case of whiplash. Yuck. His car cost 5500.00 to fix, but her insurance paid for it all of course. He actually just got it back today, says it looks like new :) Its been a battle.

Speaking of battles, our old landlord is trying to screw us again. He has been angry with us ever sine HE messed up & signed a new lease with someone while WE were still in a contract with him. Its caused him some problems I guess, and now he is trying to think of reasons to keep our entire deposit. He cant win...he has no case, so we arent too worried, I just want things to be peaceful. Im done fighting & stressing...I just want things to be calm. We have enough to deal with right now, with moving & getting settled in, and it being Christmas-time, and preparing for this unexpected baby. Its just so much.

Most days I am fine, dont let much get to me right now. I just go with the flow & try to get used to our new routines. But some days, like today, I feel like I could just cry. (The increase in hormones isnt helping). I feel so overwhelmed. I find myself forgetting Im even pregnant because theres so much else going on, and since my sickness is gone & Im not showing THAT much yet, its easy to forget. At least that makes it go by faster!

I am just exhausted, from everything. I want to get back to 'normal life'. I want to get back to taking the girls to playdates & seeing our friends, but most the time I just want to be in jammies at home. There are so many changes right now, some I cant even talk about, but everything is for the better. Its still taking a toll on me some days. Some days I wish I had someone to talk to about everything, but theres not one person I can share EVERYTHING with, and thats tough. I dont do well with opening up, sharing personal details of my life. Mainly because people offer advice & it just ends up annoying me, because I dont think people can give fair advice when they arent living the situation. Im weird like that...

Anyway, I should take a bath while Hannah 'naps' (which means playing in her room with the door closed instead of sleeping). Hoping to get out & take the girls to Family Night at Chick-Fil-A tonight. I could use some time out of the house seeing friends.
