Big week

This week is Ava's last week of daycare. Noah's mom is retiring and the big move is this week! For some that would sound like a nightmare, especially since she'll be moving in with us! But luckily our relationship is great! I'm so glad I never had the dreaded mother-in-law experience. We are so happy for Patty. Most of her life she's had to take care of everyone. She's done it with no regrets and she'd do again. This will be the first time she is doing something for herself though. She can start traveling like she's always wanted to do and maybe even find someone to spend the rest of her life with (that's my goal, she deserves it). I'm happy for Noah and Ava too. I'm very close with my family so it means alot that Noah will have his mom here and Ava can grow up with her Mimi. Anyways, it's going to be quite a weekend getting Mimi settled and then celebrate Noah's birthday! I'm looking forward to it!

My Georgia Peach!

I'm officially in my second trimester! The first one went by so fast but I am definitely glad to have made it to 13 weeks! I feel like I'm showing a lot sooner with this baby than when I was pregnant with Ava. I need to get a ball rolling on the belly pictures since I'm showing already. It may not be noticeable if you didn't know I was pregnant but everyone that knows I am thinks I'm showing too. I probably look I'm packing on the pounds or just not holding myself together anymore to anyone else.

My next doctor's appointment is on July 5th. I doubt I'll get to have an ultrasound done but at least ill be able to hear that sweet sound that is the baby's tiny heart beating. With Ava, her heartbeat was around the 140s. With this baby, it's been a bit higher, around 160-170ish ( not sure if that has any significance or is telling of anything).

I'll probably wait to see how that appointment goes before we announce the news to everyone. For some reason I haven't been quite ready.

ugh... Come on two weeks! Waiting for the next appointment is agony!

This is how big my baby is so far :)

Another Cruzan Baby

I've been pretty slack about blogging lately and I feel horrible about it so I thought I should come back with a bang!

I haven't decided how I'll announce this news to my Facebook world yet but I just had to tell someone :)

So I thought my blog friends can find out early.

Ava will be a big sister come December and we are very excited to welcome another baby to our little family!

I've been anxiously and nervously waiting on 12 weeks to get here to give me some assurance the baby/pregnancy are on track. We had another ultrasound last week and Noah and I were able to see the baby :) He/she was very active and even waved at us! Feels good to have reached the second trimester. I feel like I can breathe a little easier.

So far I haven't had any pregnancy symptoms like being sick or fatigued. I guess I should be thankful. Hopefully the rest of the pregnancy will go smoothly. I love being pregnant :)



Here we go again :)

And please no Facebook comments as we haven't announced the news yet! Thanks!
