Berkley!

We found out that we are having another little girl. Berkley Adele. The kids were both thrilled with the news. I had tried to prepare both kids that the baby cannot be a BOY and a GIRL and Benjamin understood and said that was fine. He was perfectly happy when he figured out what exactly he was getting! We found out on Monday and shared with the kids on Tuesday.

I got rid of all of Bailey's clothes up until she was about 18 months old. Bailey actually has been wearing those clothes since then-so I never got rid of them. I finally went through her closet and EVERYTHING is all packed up in to 2 huge tubs for Berkley. Bailey and Berkley will eventually share their room, but we kept Bailey in our room for the first year in an Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper and we plan to do the same thing for Berkley.

I haven't had a cleaning lady since late July--well, I had one and let her know if wouldn't work out after the first visit she made. So, right now I'm trying to keep the house clean, work at school, work on the business, work out, and spend time with my family-plus soccer and dance. I'm having to go back to the way things were when I first took on the business-and that means a lot less sleep. It has to get done...so I'm doing it. Not easy, but I figure when Berkley arrives sleep will really be a thing of the past so I'm getting used to it.

Since school is nearly 30 minutes away from our home, we have arranged for Benjamin to ride with his teacher from last year each morning while I'm on maternity leave. We will pick him up from school each day-and that will save me tons of time of trying to get him out there every morning. Bailey is starting to talk more and more about going to school next year-can't believe she will be that big so soon! :)

Oh, and I haven't thrown up since September 19th! That is a HUGE step for me!
