Whoopsie

I have a blog?
Who knew?

Well, I did. But I chose to forget about it. In favor of what? Not sure. Could be my daily reading of Lainey Gossip. Yes, let's blame her and Pinterest. Done.


Shall I catch everyone up? My daughter, Jane Bell, is nearly 2 years old. March 14 to be exact is the big date and I've already started saying she's 2. I hate that I am speeding her timeline up, because if I could keep her this sweet I would.


Jane is incredibly active and social, and yet I now have a kid who will sit at her table and color (though you have to watch her when actual crayons are present). She's my girl for sure, but lately has taken a big liking in Daddy, and her time with him at night is hilarious. Generally when she gets up from her nap I can hear her in her room answering her own questions. "Where is Daddy?" "Daddy at work." "Daddy in the car."

We also have another little nugget on the way, Walter Daniel is scheduled to make his appearance on June 2, but will be out regardless by June 11. Pray he comes earlier, I would rather not have another c-section. Unfortunately this kid has flipped so many times who knows if that will even be possible.

So our family is about to grow, and I feel love will have to grow with it. I think it can. I never really knew what loving a child would feel like till my own came and now I constantly get mad at myself for how I treated my parents, especially my Mother. How could anyone ever love someone more? Sorry Mom. You were, and still are an incredible Mother and I don't get to say it enough.

Were planning on moving to the Chicago suburbs soon, though the perpetual renters we are we'll still rent for a bit. I am trying to get us back to Seattle but this winter has softened me up a bit.

I promise to try to update a little more. My DVR is absolutely out of control at the moment and I must tend to it shortly ... Downton Abbey, I am coming!
