Holy Moly Guacamole!

I cannot believe it has been nearly two months since I wrote an entry. So much has happened!

First of all, my belly has grown! Little Raleigh is a little jumping bean in my belly and her movements have changed from slight to full fledge jabs. She is crazy. We had an ultrasound at 24 weeks and she was measuring small so we hope it isn't my placenta acting up again and that she will catch up. We have an ultrasound again in a week and they will check her out again. We are getting to a point where ultrasounds will be more frequent. Which is great with me!

I am opposite than most people and I love the first and third trimester and I am a hormonal disaster in the second! With brigz I was able to keep myself in check better because I was able to get more sleep. With this girl, I have been a bit of a grouch this trimester. I gladly welcome the third trimester.

We just ended our crazy traveling spree of this summer. Ireland was really cool and I need to upload all my pictures. The wedding was so beautiful and fun! The people were so sweet and the scenery was amazing!! However, it is not a place for someone who gets car sick. There are lots of small windy, bumpy roads. And if you are someone who gets motion sickness you know it wipes you out for a couple days. So unfortunately I was sick almost every day and didn't really seem to feel better until we got home. Plus add a bouncing two year old, out of his element to the equation and a pregnancy and well, you get one tired mamma. I am sad that I didnt get to experience it like I thought I would and that I probably wasn't too much fun to be traveling with, but I at least was able to get lots of pictures. I still had so much fun!!

We just got home last night from Vegas. We were there for my family friend Tony's wedding. It was a great wedding and it was fun! Now we don't have anywhere we have to be until October 29th when Miss Raleigh comes. I got motion sick on our plane ride home last night, so my body is thanking me for no more serious traveling for a while!

Brigz turned two while we were there! We had a little party in ireland a little party when we got home. He has no idea either was for him and what it means to be two, but it was still so cute! Since we got home, I have been trying to spend every second I can with him since it hit me that our time will be much different in a couple months. He has been so good! He is listening really well and talking so much!! He is a goofball and makes us laugh so hard! I love when it is us three and all of us are laughing so hard we are almost crying! Usually because of something brigz has said! He makes us so happy! He is sleeping in his big boy bed (we won't mention that the binky made a huge reappearance for sleep time recently) and is potty training well. He seems to really get the potty thing lately so hopefully it lasts. I love that crazy little guy.

We think we found a house. Perfect timing right?! Umm no, not really, but I'll take it after as long as we have been house hunting! We are BROKE from all our trips and about to have a baby but we still feel so blessed! Our offer is in so hopefully we find out tomorrow if the seller took it!! I have already decorated and painted it in my mind, so we are praying we get to actually do it! It will be a big budget change for us. We will have to eat beans for a while when I am on maternity leave, but I think it is our "forever house" so it is worth it. Prayers please!! We are so anxious!!

And I think that is it for updates! It's been a little wild and crazy lately, but fun! Here are some pictures of it all!!
