Last week, we had our first ultrasound for the new baby. Everything looked great and the two of us were beside ourselves with excitement to see a heart beating and also to see our peanut (which is exactly what baby looks like right now) move it's little limbs -- er ... armbuds. What a miracle! Sometimes I still can't believe there is another baby in my tummy! Our due date got moved up a few days and is now officially April 3rd. So exciting, yet a little overwhelming, I must say. As often as I am praying for the health of this new little one, I am also praying that God continues to prepare our home and our hearts to welcome this perfect gift from Him. I've always wanted a house full of kids, but right now I'm wondering how I'll manage just two!
Last Friday was Tanner's first gymnastics class. What a workout ... for ME! I was literally SWEATING halfway through the class from chasing him around everywhere. The first 15 minutes are spent on the trampolines and in the "pit," which is filled with soft sponges that the kids can slide into, jump into, somersault into -- you get the picture. The second 15 minutes was "floor time," where the kids were supposed to sit on little mats and participate in some simple "stretching" movements, songs, instrument play, etc. Tanner's floor time lasted more like 15 seconds. He did NOT come prepared to stay in one spot -- that's for sure. Luckily, the last 15 minutes was devoted to an obstacle course and more somersaulting, which Tanner loved. By the end of class, he was laying flat on his back, with his arms and legs outstretched, looking totally EXHAUSTED. Mission accomplished! Tomorrow is swimming. I seriously can't wait.
Hope you're all having a good start to your week!

As hard as it is to imagine life with two kids, you are going to totally love it and adjust in no time (I'm preaching to the choir as I need this advice now adjusting to three!) Before you know it, you'll be up and running and won't remember what life was like before with only one. Sometimes I think to myself, "What did I do with all that time when I had one baby?", but I really don't remember having tons of time! Everything just requires adjustment, I guess! Hugs and blessings!
I'm sure like B-mama said, you'll adjust in no time and just figure it some how. I bet Tanner is so cute in gymnastics class. Can't wait to hear about swim lessons. Glad to hear the u/s went well. Was there a reason for an early one? Or just more opportunities in the civilian world?
