She lost another tooth, this is her 5th.
And....drumroll please......
She can ride her bike without training wheels! She probably could have done it sooner but she was too chicken to try :)
She taught herself even, just got on it and started riding. Go Ainsley!

Routine
Well school has started for Ainsley and preschool for Caelan. Piano started a week after that and Caelan's dance classes start this week.
Ainsley had a really bad asthma attack after PE yesterday so we took her back in and they've switched her from the machine to an inhaler including a rescue inhaler for school so hopefully that takes care of the problem because I don't want her to have to sit out.
Her reading is just amazing to me. I love that she loves to read. She reminds me of me when I was younger :). She has taken it on herself to read US bedtime stories instead of the other way around. Even KK lets her and thinks it's cool that big sister reads her stories instead of mom or dad.
Quinn is getting bigger and I'm still completely shocked at how much she moves at this size. I'm in BIG trouble when she gets bigger because she is relentless!
Jordie just had her 15th birthday but I haven't seen her since then because she had a party at her mom's house that weekend. Hopefully we'll get to give her her present this weekend.
Completely consumed with work, new schedules, baby bump and Mallory's wedding so things are definitely chaotic right now. I'm trying to let the girls do the things they want right now though because after Christmas we will have a massive slow down for a few months.
We decided that instead of having the baby in our room, we are going to enclose the loft upstairs and make another bedroom. With Jim taking the downstairs room for an office, it just seems like having another upstairs would make things a lot simpler. We use it for toy storage so I figure we'll just get creative and organized with the toys and make it all work out. Jorden will get to keep her own room and when the baby sleeps better we will move KK in there too and let Ains have her own room too.
Back to finishing work so I can go to bed and put my swollen feet up!

blah
I've thought about blogging many times but I'm a pretty bad, depressed funk right now and still trying to pull it together. I promise I will be back when I figure out how to not be a mess.
On a brighter note, I think I'm going to start a different blog for crafty stuff. Not that I think I'm totally talented or anything but I do make many attempts and I love the before and after pictures so I figured it would be something fun to do with them all.
Until the fog lifts....

So.....
When attempting an entire life makeover, what's the best game plan? I'm at a loss.
In Wisconsin with Hanna. Truman rocks. Pepper is beautiful. Sully is Sully (sorry dude, you know I love ya), Addie is reading like crazy and Guthrie is the most helpful big brother you could ask for.
I miss my kids....really really really miss my kids. So I will be glad to go home but sad to leave here too.

PINK
We have another girl on the way! Can you believe that I went to the mall (mostly because I desperately needed some maternity shorts) but with the mindset that I would buy the first little baby outfit for her and I walked away with NOTHING?!!!! It's like my whole mindset changed. Nothing was cute to me at all. I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of sewing though.
If we get it booked soon, I should be headed to Wisconsin to see Penelope Jean and I'm so excited! I really didn't think I would have a chance to go until next year sometime but it looks like my mama is making it happen :)
The nausea is FINALLY better but it has been replaced by debilitating hunger. I didn't even think that was possible. I woke up at 3 this morning so hungry that I was actually in pain, I mean really?
With so many baby girls headed our way in the family right now I felt like I had to put our #1 pick for now for a baby name out there to make sure no one else was using it. They're not and I even got Jim to admit that it was a good Irish name after he did a little internet research of his own.
I didn't get a printout to share but her little profile instantly made me think she might look a little like Ainsley, definitely a good thing.

butterfly
Feeling the baby a little bit. Mostly early in the morning and at night when I lie down to go to bed.
I can't tolerate the bedroom being hot anymore so I'm trying to see if we can get another receiver in the girls room until the summer passes. I like watching movies while I lounge at night but my couch is not comfy at all so I've had to find other solutions.
Ainsley is on the road with grandma right now and spending some time in Wisconsin with her cousins. I'm jealous that she gets to be there when Pepper is born and I will miss it! I'm also missing her like crazy. I almost had a panic attack that first night, it just felt wrong!
The sick is finally gone I think! Right before I hit 15 weeks, so I guess it could have been worse. It is sooooo nice to not have my entire day planned around or ruined by food. I can eat or not eat when I feel like it and it's a huge relief. I had to rush out of the house yesterday and forgot breakfast and was worried I would sabotage myself but I did fine. I got a little tired but not sick, woo hoo!
Still waiting for more energy but I doubt that's going to get better while it's over 100 degrees outside.
