forever grateful

I'm lost for other words to describe how I feel tonight, so I stick with...forever grateful! I have an amazing husband who loves me for all that I am, even the not so pretty pieces...forever grateful. I have a precious little girl, who can make me smile when all I want to do is cry...forever grateful. I am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant with my second child, my second little miracle coming true...forever grateful. I have parents and siblings who have stuck with me through my highs and lows, and loved me unconditionally...forever grateful. I have nieces that are simply God's gift to the world, and I am blessed to call them mine...forever grateful. I have grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and cousins who have helped mold me into the person I am today...forever grateful. I have in-laws who have welcomed me into their family from day one and who have loved me like I've been their's the entire time...forever grateful. I have friends who are the wildest, craziest, loving, and most sincere people God could have ever given me...forever grateful. For everything else in my life that I have not mentioned...forever grateful.
As you might guess, life's been wonderful lately! I have a fantastic and ever challenging career that I love. I have a 1 1/2 year old that keeps me laughing non stop...she's just so freaking rotten! And I have a husband that's always there for me...I'm very blessed=)

So you might be asking "What's Lil P been up to these past few weeks?!"...well she's been pretty busy around here...

• She has gone pee pee and poopie in the potty five times
• She has thankfully been pacifier free for the past four days and counting
• She's addicted to reading books...like non-stop, one after another
• She says "Up" when she wants us to lift her into our lap to read her a book
• She's been healthy for going on three weeks...which is a HUGE milestone in our house
• She's eating almost everything, she even got to try scrambled eggs for the 1st time last weekend...and she loved them
• She's facing forward in her car seat, and loves seeing things from a new prospective

I'm sure I've forgotten something, but as you can see...things are going well. We are heading to see my family this weekend, and I am SUPER EXCITED!!! I love going home to see them, it just feels so right!
Baby Squirt is doing fabulously! His/her heart rate was 150 when we went to see Dr G over a week ago, so the sex of the baby is still unknown. Lil P's heart rate was always between 160-180, but little girls can have slower heart rates too...so only time will tell. The Knight and I will go back to see Dr G in three weeks, and then we'll find out whether we are getting another princess or a prince this time.
Enjoy the new pictures...she's one crazy gal I tell ya!

Here's a picture of my rapidly expanding waistline...Squirt at 16 weeks!

Well Lil P is fast asleep, and Squirt and I are just about to turn in ourselves...pregnancy wears a gal out these days!!!
Love ya'll!
