hello... we're still here

so... i've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus.

with relocating our office to the basement (to make a new baby room), being pregnant and having gallbladder issues, i haven't been feeling up to par to even take pictures or blog.

i'm in the 38th week of pregnancy (2 more weeks! if that) and patiently awaiting our son's arrival.

what's new with AVA?
- she's fully potty trained... it happened on its own like i knew it would. it was one of our easiest milestones yet.
- around the first of the year (after we went cold-turkey on the pacifier), she began to have MAJOR sleeping issues. we went from crib, to toddler bed, to crib, to floor, to everything in between. i really didn't want her in our bed (for my own selfish reasons) but we finally all got sooooo exhausted that we tried it. TAA-DAH, amazing sleep ensued and peace, calm and happiness resumed. so we have a family bed now (queen size... i might add). she still has some night terrors occasionally if she doesnt get enough sleep, but we've kinda got them figured out and know how to handle them.

so i'll be posting (hopefully more frequent) about both babes here.... so come back for more!
