My apologies for the lack of posts this summer. It's been a busy one. A quick update: we're moved into the new place. The house looks 100% different, rather, better than when we look possession back in May. A few minor hiccups have occured...leaky fridge, leaky toilet, but, we're getting things under control. Many more changes around the house lay ahead for us, but one thing at a time.
The pregnancy has been than enjoyable. I developed a rash called PUPPPS and have debilitating joint pain to boot. The joint pain comes and goes with little to no warning and when it does, all I can do is sit and even that's hard. The rash is constant. Imagine being covered in itchy hives all day, everyday, and nothing can help.....I've had multiple blood tests and have been to several doctors who all scratch their heads and say, let's see if it goes away after you deliver. Great. But, at least the baby seems to be growing and is healthy. She's a wiggle worm in there that's for sure. I'm going on 29 weeks tomorrow and she's going to be delivered by c-section on October 1. I cannot wait.
Madeline is doing fantastic. She's not a baby anymore, she's a little toddler. She eats constantly, and hasn't met a food she doesn't enjoy eating. She's starting to say more words, when she's not being shy. She's just a good natured kid for the most part....a little bit of a spoiled brat, but that's okay for now :-) Most of our days are spent outdoors when it's nice playing with bubbles, sidewalk chalk or in the pool, or trips to the park.
Here's a few photos taken in the last couple weeks......
