Something To Smile About

So I do realize my last post wasn't very uplifting, but it helped me feel better to vent a bit so thanks to all of you who listened or should I say read.
Life has been busy the past few weeks running here and there and trying not to pull my hair out. Chasing a 2 year old is more work then I could ever imagine. But I wouldn't change it for the world. When I think of all the funny and cute things she does every day it brings a smile to my face and helps me to realize that life is much bigger then my silly little problems.
We were able to go to Kangaroo Zoo with my BFF Kacy Jo and her beautiful daughter Hadley last Tuesday. The girls are becoming such good friends. Olivia can't stop talking about how she played with Haddie. She even grabs my phone a few hundred times a day and carries on this conversation: "Hi Haddie! Yeah I love you too! Okay let's play....Bye!" I can't believe how fast my baby is growing up. Everyday she looks older and wiser and comes up with the smartest things to say. I'm just trying to soak every minute in and when times get tough I try to remind myself that time will pass much to fast.
I am now 24 weeks pregnant! And this baby boy is going to come out walking I swear. I thought Olivia was active but this guy hasn't stopped moving since last week. He's very strong and more then a few times I've thought for sure he has ruptured a major organ. I am enjoying this pregnancy so much. I remember when I was pregnant with Olivia I hated every moment. This time around I of course have my bad days but I'm trying so hard to enjoy this feeling of him moving around in there and my very fast expanding belly. I may not feel this way in a month or so but for now I'm trying to enjoy it. How lucky am I too be able to experience this?? There is nothing that compares to it.
What else is new?? Friday my sweet father-in-law treated me and some of the grand kids to Madagascar II. He even bought me my own large popcorn because if you know me at all you know I don't share popcorn and yes I can eat a large one by myself :-) Olivia loved the movie but I think she loved chasing cousin Macey around even more. Saturday we took her to Discovery Gateway. I of course forgot my camera so no cute pictures to post but it was fun.
Oh I am going to post a picture Kacy took for me on Tuesday. Yes I know you probably have seen it on Kacy's blog but I think it's beautiful and thank you Kacy for being responsible and photographing my daughter for me.


Since Olivia is constently saying new things I'm going to type a few down so I can remember.

*LET ME HELP YOU! (this means let me do it myself or I'm going to throw a fit!)

*OH NO! WHAT'M I GONNA DO?

*I LOOK SO PRETTY DON'T I?

*DAMNIT! (I have no idea where she would learn something like that)

*CUZ example: "Olivia why don't you want to go to the store?"......... "Cuz I don't want to go to the store"

*I SO LOVE YOU (melts my heart everytime)

I am so glad you are loving this pregnancy. He's active is he? Your not craving blood, though, right? He he. I will get you a disc of the other picts I took, they are cute.
