Another Snow Day!

At 5:00 this morning I received the great news we were closed for a snow day. Kylynn and I slept till just about 9 a.m. It was wonderful. She also took two two hour naps, heavenly for me. I didn't get anything done today but that is okay. We got her new bedroom painted this weekend and her bed is all set to go, minus the bed rail. We put her in on Monday night and I do believe she would have stayed there but I didn't want her to without the bed rail. We need to get her a night light and move her clock and she'll be all set. There is still more to do as far as decorating but that will come.

I have an ultra sound on February 20 to see how big baby girl #2 is and then we'll know if I will be induced or what the plan is. So we are getting ready for that date so that I will be mentally prepared. The last few weeks have been a little more painful for me. I don't know if it is because she is so heavy or sitting so low. I got a maternity belt from a coworker that I will be using tomorrow when I go back to school, if there isn't another snow day. That should help take some of the weight off.

Other exciting things happening around here, Kylynn is loving to eat with her silverware and sitting at her new table playing her puzzles. My cousins gave us their daughter's old table and Kylynn absolutely loves sitting at it. We were able to visit Trisha, Trevor, and Lauren a few weekends ago. I have attached some pictures of our recent visit and her bedroom.

Snow Day!!!

Yeah, our first snow day! It couldn't have come at a better time. Kylynn is fighting a terrible cold so it was nice to let her sleep in. She woke up at 8:15 and went back down for a nap at 9:45. Now I'm doing laundry and just finished making banana bread. I think I'll clean some bathrooms and straighten up the house. Then I'll be able to relax this afternoon. We had a great time in Traverse City visiting my parents and we got to see Trisha, Trevor, and Lauren. It is fun to watch the girls play together. I'll post some pictures later. We had a scare Friday night, my dad let the dogs out and they took off. Jason and my dad looked in the woods, mind you it was freezing cold, for an hour. They were down at a restaurant and so we did find them but it was scary. Needless to say, my dad did not let the dogs out the rest of the weekend.

We purchased a comforter, a pillow sham, and some toss pillows for Kylynn's new room. We also picked out paint so that should get done this week. Lot's to do before Baby comes. I have an ultra sound on February 20 and we will see how big baby girl is and then we'll decide what we are going to do. So I told Jason, we better be ready to go by February 20, bags packed!

Off to clean my husband's bathroom, doesn't that sound like fun. It's gotta be done though.

Finally some pics

Helping Mom with the pretzel treats. She liked that, especially the little pieces of pretzel she was getting. One happy family.
Such a cutie so early in the morning. Just like her mom, doesn't do mornings.
Her new computer from Aunt Kari, she absolutely loves it.

Back to work...

Well, I went back to work today. It was a long day but I made it. Kylynn woke right up and was happy to have daddy home this morning to greet her. She was in a great mood and it made it that much easier to go back to work. I really enjoyed my sleeping in and relaxing at home. 2 months from today will be my last day of work though, I think I can make it. That is if little girl #2 doesn't decide to come a little early. Tonight I organized our files and pitched a lot of old bills and junk. Tomorrow night I am hoping to get started on the spare room so that we can get that ready for Kylynn.
She tried napping in the big bed today at Auntie's and that wasn't a success. She will try again tomorrow. We visited the doctor last week and she suggested that we start trying to get Kylynn to take naps in the big bed. So we're trying. We'll see how this goes. Kylynn gained 2 lbs and 2 1/2 inches since her 15 month check up. She is now 26.6 lbs and 33 1/2 inches tall. We talked about the getting up in the middle of the night and she told us to try giving her some tylenol or motrin before she goes to bed for the teeth. We've been doing that and she seems to be doing better. She also suggested I give her some tough love and let her cry it out. She probably just got used to me going in there. So last night at 4 am I let her cry, she didn't cry that long but it is so hard to listen to them cry. We'll see how she does tonight.
Tonight when we were downstairs Kylynn put Remi in her coup and tried to get Gauge in his. It was so cute. She said, "Gau - Coo!" Which stands for Gauge, in your coup. Jason and I just laughed. Her vocabulary is just exploding right now. It is so much fun to watch her. She just loves her puppies. Jason says our kids will be good on their feet. She gets knocked around and down and gets right back up.
Well, it is getting late and I need to get some sleep. First of all I have to wake my husband up off the couch though. He wanted to watch the OSU/LSU game but he is asleep, surprise, surprise.
