The BIG news

Erin is going to be a BIG SISTER! I am pregnant again, and expecting our second child on April 20, 2009. We are very excited, and I'm going 1000% public with the news because we heard a healthy, strong heartbeat on doppler yesterday at the doctor's office. It was in the 160's....and it's much earlier than we were able to hear Erin's heartbeat on doppler. It relieved some serious anxiety on my part.

We followed it up with a giant lunch at Qdoba, and a much needed nap for me.

Poor Erin has no idea how much her life will change.

Dinner tastes better with leather

Erin LOVES playing with Todd's belts. She can't help it. They are all over the house. She likes to drape them around her neck, but she also just likes to drag them behind her.

One night at dinner, I couldn't get her to give it up. So dinner was spaghetti, with a side of belt.

Erin helps with laundry

Although the extent of Erin helping with laundry usually consists of unfolding everything I've already folded. I've finally learned that I need to do this in the bedroom, where she can't reach the bed. But, before then, she had a LOT of fun "helping." This time it was hanging out in the laundry basket.
