January

We finally had a warm enough day yesterday to let Juliann ride her bike outside (instead of inside the garage). She looked like such a big girl with her hair in a ponytail trying to make the pedals move. Hope everyone is taking advantage of the slightly warmer weather for a few more days (it’s supposed to get colder again next week) and getting outside for some fresh air! 
Things are going well for us here in Richmond. David is keeping busy at work and I’m doing my best to manage working part time with caring for a 2 year old and being pregnant. Things have definitely been different this time around and I’d really like for April to hurry up and get here! I’m trying to take it easy (doctors orders) to avoid either being put on bed rest or the baby coming early. It’s a challenge for my Type A personality but David has been a huge help since the holidays. Jules tries to help too by putting away her toys and cleaning up after herself. Daddy has also trained her to turn to me and say, “sit down Mommy!” She’s become such a big girl and is sleeping so well in her new room in a toddler bed and getting better at potty training with each day. However, I’m still having a hard time with the fact that she’s going to be 2 in just 2 weeks-crazy! That and the fact that we’re getting ready to start all over again in just a few months! :)  Hope you’re all doing well!
