Baby Levi is due on Monday and so I figured I'd blog a little bit of normal home news before we become completely enraptured by our new baby and can't think about anything else.
Noelle turned two last month ("I TWO," she loves to say) and is growing up so much every day. She can count to 11, knows the alphabet, and can identify many letters by sight. Yes, I am excessively proud of her.
Her favorite things include wooden puzzles, going to see the chickens, singing "Happy Birthday To You," Sesame Street, reading books, anything involving numbers or letters, and playing with her cousins, and she can eat more veggies than Ryan and I put together. We adore her and she knows it.
Ryan's semester started up last week and he is still loving teaching at the community college. He loves the opportunity to be involved in his students' lives and he's finding teaching to be very fulfilling. It is so nice to see him enjoying and thriving in his work. His teaching load is 110% this semester so he's pretty busy, but at least he loves what he is doing.
I'm just trying to get through these last few days of pregnancy and keep the laundry done, the house reasonably neat, and food on the table. I've had a ton of contractions lately and they are getting quite painful. I know that's only supposed to help when the "real" thing starts, but I can't help being annoyed at the hours and hours of what feels like early labor but goes nowhere. At the same time, I'm terrified about going through childbirth again, so there is a small amount of relief each time things taper off.
That's about all that's happening around here . . . hopefully my next post will be a birth announcement.

that's impressive. John is four and a half and knows the letter J. sometimes. sometimes he remembers his age, too. but he's got a great personality. ha.
@peggywells - lol. you're so refreshing.
you're a super mom. i imagine i would have someone else cooking for me by now, w/ all the labor pains and such.
can't wait to see your newest addition when he arrives
. y'all make pretty babies.

looking forward to the baby announcement! (although not as much as you, I know!) Hang in there!
Can't wait for Levi to arrive! Ditto to tildystar- y'all make pretty babies ;) LOL. We need a recent preggie pic of you!!! :D
Congrats!!! Looks like from all the FB comments that Levi arrived! :D Can't wait to see pics of y'all! Hope y'all are doing good :D.
Thank so much for your encouragement. You have no idea how much I needed that. It's just great to know that someone else has totally gone through this and made it. I'm so happy that your baby's here!! :) I might try that B6 if this doesn't get better. My stomach seems to react really badly to some vitamins. I was taking B12 for awhile because that's what my Mom took when she had a hard time but it wasn't working well so I stopped taking it. I hope the new adjustment to 2 kids goes well!!!
