Welcome back!

Okay.. seriously.. so not a good blogger, but I am really going to attempt to be better, I mean really attempt this time. So much has gone on the last few months (good and bad) I dont even know where to begin. But, with a new baby on the way I want to be sure and record as many of these new memories as possible and definitely focus on the good things in life right now. I've been challenged with so much lately that I wonder how much more I can take, I feel so "tested" all the time, but, I know it will get better and we will come out on top, eventually. Lily is almost finished with Kindergarten, oh man, that really flew by. I can't believe she will be in the first grade in a few months; she is so independent and her own little person now that I am sad, no more baby that wants all my help or love and attention anymore. I wouldn't change it though, its so fun watching her develop into her own and equally fun to watch her learn and change. She is doing really well in her piano lessons, her teacher is really impressed; I can't wait until she is really good, I know she will be, she is so musical and intelligent.

As for the baby, Kerell and I don't know what it is yet, but he hopes for a boy. I just hope for a healthy baby, but a boy would be nice that way Lily can be the baby girl still. We are 17 weeks along, and so far I have gained about 4-5 pounds, not too bad! Less than 23 weeks to go!
