my fairy tale come true

where did April go?

Wow - it's been a long time since my last blog.  In fact, I missed the whole month of April.  Perhaps because it was such a busy time, I just didn't take the time to sit down and write.


We started off the month by heading to the sunny south with 65 others to celebrate a dear friend's wedding day.  It was the first time we had left Kennedy for more than one night and mommy and daddy worried about it for weeks before the trip.  Not surprisingly, the trip went off without a hitch!  Not only for us, but also for Kennedy and her grandparents.  I think she loved all the special attention she got from her Grandparents and by the sounds of the official reports, she was a very happy, well behaved girl.  Success! :)  Fortunately for us, we had access to facetime and skype so we were able to see and talk to our little girl every day.  It made it a little more bearable to be away.

Our little girl is growing like a weed (not really vertically, but in her development!).  Her vocabulary is expanding and she is always saying funny little things to us.  We are amazed at how she soaks things up like a sponge.  Her most recent "funny" is seeing freckles on my arm and telling me that I have freckles.  However, she doesn't quite pronounce the "r" sound... hahaha 

The end of April we made the big switch from crib to a big girl bed (well.... for now it's just a mattress on the floor to see how she transitions).  Another success for K!  The first night, she chatted to herself for ten minutes then fell fast asleep until 7am.  Although mommy and daddy did go in twice during the night to reposition her, she didn't wake up once! 

Her old crib has now been moved into Baby Boys room.  The room is painted and a looking like a disaster with clothes spread out everywhere waiting to be organised.  Baby boy is still nameless - despite our many conversations around picking a name, we haven't fell in love with one yet.  Our midwives are wonderful and are patiently awaiting his arrival.  33 weeks down --- how many to go? 

The weather has been beautiful and we've been spending lots of time outside.  Hopefully the sunshine won't deter me from writing too many blog posts in the near future.
