We went home to Cincinnati for the last time as a family of 3 at Thanksgiving. Since I am now 34 weeks pregnant, we cannot travel out of the Fort Knox area without the risk of me going into labor. If we are too far away from the Army hospital, our insurance won't cover us if we happen to have the baby. Yikes! We can't risk that, so, unfortunately, we won't be able to go home for Christmas. :-( So, Thanksgiving was our last trip home for a while, and we had such a great time! Ty got to ride in his new "big boy car seat" for the first time (yes, he finally weighs 20 lbs. now!) We ate lots of yummy food, and Ty had a blast exploring his new surroundings (getting into everything in sight) and playing with his cousins Maddie and Gabrielle. Below are some pics from our trip.
I can't believe it, but it is almost time for Bib Dos's arrival into this world! I only have 39 days to go until my due date! I have no idea where the time went! This pregnancy has gone so much faster than my first one! I guess that's what happens when you have a little guy to chase around all day. Physically, I am ready for this baby to get here (I want my body back!). Mentally, I'm not so sure. Am I really ready to be a mommy times 2? We are anxious, but so excited to meet the precious, new addition to our family! Josh and I wonder if he'll look just like Ty or totally different? What will his little personality be like? Will we have as much fun watching him grow and learn as we have with Ty? We can't imagine having another gorgeous little guy to love so much! How exciting it is! This pregnancy has gone great so far, and we are now in the home stretch! Please pray for us as we get closer to having this new little one!
Ty has been so cute lately. He learns or does something new everyday. He gives and blows kisses. He says, "Yeah" when you ask him a question. He even knows some sign language now (it's about time since we've been signing to him since he was about 6 months old)! He knows the sign for sleep, all done, and daddy (of course he doesn't do the mommy sign...go figure). He is waving hi and bye-bye (with both hands and backwards) pretty consistently now. He loves to climb on anything he can, and is the most curious little thing ever! He knows where his baby brother is (when you ask him he runs over to my big belly, lifts my shirt, and gives his baby brother a kiss), but we don't think he quite understands that there will be another little person here soon. We don't think he'll be jealous at all, only because he will be too young to truly understand what's going on. It's going to be very interesting to see how Ty reacts to Bib Dos!
Josh has been working hard. His unit put him into a new school this week (a course that teaches him how to be a Cav Scout Leader), and he has been working his tail off. Wednesday was a night of no sleep for him because he had an "Op Order" to work on. Poor guy! This course is only 3 weeks long, but it is intense. Please pray for him that he stays healthy, gets enough rest, and passes this course with flying colors! Thanks for all your prayers and support! We continue to count our blessings, and the Good Lord has truly been so awesome to us!

He just gets cuter! Glad that you managed to make one last trip home as a family of 3. That was one thing I wanted to accomplish before becoming a family of 5 but it didnt happen. The transition of going from 1 kid to 2 kids was a VERY easy one. It seemed so natural and too easy to be true. Now the trasition from 2 to 3 kids has been HELL!!! It is an amazing amount harder. I cant wait for your next little guy to get here!
