Changes, Changes, Changes

Well, most of you know already, but Lily is going to be a big sister!!! God has blessed us again. We are expecting our next bundle of joy to arrive around March 9th. We are very excited. Poor Lily doesn't even realize that in a few months her whole little life will be turned upside down. :)

Changes with Lily - She is everywhere and into everything! Our house is in constant disarray. So if you ever come over just know that we were hit by a little tornado named Lily. I really don't even know why we buy her toys. She only wants to play with the most random things that aren't really toys. Her new thing is to scream/screech at the top of her lungs just for fun. Then she will giggle, so you can't really get onto her, but Tom and I will be deaf in the matter of a few weeks if this continues. She LOVES to read books. She jabbers constantly and says several words. Some of them you would only understand if you were around her long enough. Her favorite word is "Hi." I really wish I knew what she was saying. She will point her little finger at you and just go on and on and on. Everyday she amazes me and we are so blessed that she is a part of our little family. I just love watching her grow, discover and explore.

Changes with us: I started a new job! I'm teaching PreK. It has been fun and a whole lot of work so far. I started about 3 weeks into school so I didn't get any prep time, but I feel like I'm finally getting my feet under me. Everyone I work with is so nice, helpful and supportive. I'm very excited about this school year.
Also, Tom is finally on day shift and for the moment he has Saturdays and Sundays off! We are so very excited. This is the first time we have had the same weekends on a regular basis in about 2 1/2 years. The first weekend, I will admit, it was kinda weird having him home on Saturday during the day, but it is nice to get to have some family time. His weekends will probably change again in January so we are going to enjoy it while we can.
And last but not least, we are expecting Pancho in March. I am currently 14 weeks, so I am in the 2nd trimester. You may wonder why we chose the nickname Pancho. Well, we were trying to come up with another "P" nickname since we already have Peanut and Punkin. I just jokingly said Pancho and it just kinda stuck. So far Pancho is looking good. This time around they aren't making me do all the extra testing/ultrasounds that I had to do with Lily. He (and I only say he because I don't want to refer to him as "it" the entire 9 months) gave us a little scare last week at the drs office. The nurse tried to find his heartbeat and she couldn't. She had to call the PA in to look for it. The PA finally found it and almost immedietly Pancho moved. She found it a couple more times and he just kept moving. So they told us the heartrate was 150ish since they couldn't get a steady read on him. We are NOT planning on finding out what Pancho is, so all of you nosey people that have no patience will just have to wait until March to find out what we are having. :) I'm really hoping that Pancho stays put as close to my due date as possible because after my 6 weeks of maternity leave then I will only have about 3-4 weeks of school left until summer break. Only time will tell!
