So I haven't been feeling much up to doing an update. But here goes.
Kendlee turned TWO on Jan 14th! She celebrated with our friends Amanda, Ryan and Kendlee's best buddy Devyn. We also had a birthday party for her on the following Friday, where she saw many of her family members and received far too many gifts! :) So far, life as a 2 year old has been good to her. I think she enjoys telling people how old she is and sticking up her two fingers! Though we often hear her say shes is three, or five, or sixteen! Silly girl!
We're almost there. Only five weeks until my due date! Which is exciting. I'm just tired of contractions, back aches, sleepless nights (which only means MORE to come!) and the minor road bumps we've hit along the way. I'm ready to have my baby in my arms, though I know once I'm done being pregnant, possibly forever, I will miss having the lil Nordstrom tucked away in there.
I haven't done much to prepare for this baby. Kendlee's room is still not ready and won't be for at least three more weeks. If the baby comes before then (and in some way I hope it does!) Kendlee will continue to live in her current room and we will just slowly make the move to the new room as we see fit.
I don't have much left to buy. A few more glass bottles, some newborn diapers (we're going cloth beyond newborn), some formula for a backup plan, and maybe a few outfits. The most important is a Big Sister gift for Miss Kendlee. This will be a time of change for her and I am already feeling much guilt about having to make her share the spotlight. But I think in the long run she will appreciate us giving her a HUMAN sibling to play with. Though I'm sure she will always considering our dogs her fur-siblings.
The next five weeks will be spent building the shed (ok, I'll be watching not participating), moving the shed, emptying the room for Kendlee, painting, setting up the new room, cleaning out K's nursery and turning it into the baby's room, and just enjoying having Kendlee be the only child for the last time.
I have already stepped down to one day a week for gymnastics, and as I see it I will only be doing that for a couple more weeks as well. Kendlee will be joining her best friend Devyn in a daycare program where they go once a week for 4 hours. Both girls will mostly be there on the same days, which will be alot of fun for Kendlee.
That pretty much wraps it up for now! I may not return until the new one arrives! Have a great February!
