6 months later.....

Wow, can't believe 6 months have past. Alot has changed in the past six months. First of all I found out May 8 I was pregnant with baby# 2. We are extremely excited!!! I did have a little bit of night sickness, which was a bit strange. I survived my first trimester and am now on my second. We find out what we are having on Sept 4. Bentley seems to be pretty excited about being a big sister. She walks around letting everyone know that she is having a baby brother. Matt and I are predicting a boy as well, but you just never know. Other than that I'm feeling very good and already starting to show, which is exciting!!! Bentley has become such a little girl these days. She's been potty trained for about 3 or so months. We are very proud of her. I was a little nervous at first, but she caught on quickly and has done extremely well. We have also "booted" her out of our bed. She is going on her first full week sleeping in her bed. The first two or three nights were rough on mommy, but as hard as it was I didn't give in and kept putting her back in her bed. It has paid off let me tell you. Matt and I actually have some "us" time alone. My two goals I wanted to have accomplished before baby #2 was born was to have Bentley potty trained and in her own bed on somewhat of a schedule.....Mission achieved!!!!! I'm soooo proud of Matt and myself for sticking to our guns on this one. I think it will make both of our lives easier as it gets closer to the baby being born.
Another big project going on in our lives is we decided to build a house. It is going to be fabulous and we are extemely excited about that too. We are staying in our subdivision, but it's about a mile away from where we are now in a gated community on a small "lake." We are backed up to the lake and there are only 86 other homes being built in this area. As it comes along, I will share photo's with everyone. They are suppose to start framing it Monday and they are telling us it should be finished in about 90 days weather permitting. Hopefully we will be living in our new home before Christmas because I won't be able to travel home (Dumas) this year due to the pregnancy:-(
That's it for today, I'm sure I have a ton more to blog about, but it's night-night time so I'll try to be better at keeping up with this and not wait 6 months between:-)
