There comes a point when you become so overwhelmed with what to blog about, you just don’t blog at all.  But here’s a recap of what’s been going on!

• We got a new car!  It is a beautiful 2007 Honda Pilot.  It seats 8, has overhead car seat latches in the 3rd row & gives us plenty of space for both girls & some stuff.  It does consume quite a bit of gas, but we are working out the kinks of how to maximize our mileage & minimize our emissions.  Plus, now Dave gets to use the Volvo to commute!  Safer & definitely more comfortable. Everyone is a winner!
• Our house is back on the market!  It’s only been a few days, so there isn’t much news about it yet, but HOPEFULLY someone will want to buy our house so we can move & get everything situated before little Beyonce gets here.  Send your friends & family if you know of anyone looking for a 2 bedroom house in South County!
• For the most part, Ella is POTTY TRAINED!  Wooo!!!  She wears a pull-up at night, but during the day (including most naps) she wears underwear & hasn’t had an accident in a couple of weeks!  (It doesn’t count if she pees herself on purpose to get out of bed).  Dave & I are both excited to not be changing diapers, at least for a few months.
• Ella starts camp at her new school in a month!  She will be going for 3 weeks in July on MWF for a couple of hours each morning.  It’s going to be a little bittersweet dropping her off, but I’m sure the 2 hours will fly by.  And I know she will have fun & make friends, so I’m excited for her!  Her school year starts in September, so this is just a preview, but I wanted her to be prepared.

Our summer weekends are already filling up very quickly!  We planned to go to Kirksville to visit Dave’s family over Memorial Day weekend, but ended up staying home because we all got colds.  Boo to that! We’re hoping to make it up there perhaps the 2nd weekend in July, but we’ll have to see how huge & uncomfortable Beyonce is making me at that point. Our plans for June include family/maternity photos, the Komen Race, birthday parties, the St. Louis Twilight Town Trek, another week out of town for Dave, visiting with friends, Shakespeare in the Park & lots of pool time!  Plus, I’m hoping to put Ella into swim lessons for a couple of weeks so she won’t FREAK OUT if she falls & puts her face in the water again.  I want her to feel confident in the water.  We’re also hoping to get a 3D ultrasound in the next couple of weeks so we can compare this little girl to Ella’s pics!  I’m so curious to see if they look similar at all, if this baby has any hair, if she has Dave’s nose like Ella…it’s hard to wait so long to find out!

July will be busy too, with our anniversary, a wedding to go to, my Dad’s birthday, Fourth of July (that’s all in one weekend…), Ella’s camp, Ella’s birthday & possible travel.  Whew!  We are trying to keep August fairly clear since you never know when the baby will arrive.  If she’s like her sister, she’ll be right on time, though.  A very exciting summer ahead!

I am working on editing all the belly pictures I have to they can be posted.  I have several other pictures from May, too, that I will load up soon!

Happy Summer!
