This is a quick fly by post to wish my sweet little Emily the happiest of birthdays. You have no idea the impact you have had on your daddy or my life.. You are amazing. You are independent and caring and so super smart. The things you say keep us laughing all the time. Thank you for everything you have done to truly complete our lives. We love you with all our hearts, more than anything in the world. What an amazing experience these last 2 years have been! We cannot wait to continue to watch you grow! I love you so much my sweet angel!
So blogger is now blocked at my work which is why I am typing this from my phone. And partially why I have been so bad about blogging. I will post some birthday party pictures and baby #2 update here soon. Promise!

Emily is 23 months!
Dude. That's all I can say is dude. I can't believe the holidays are just around the corner. We are in party planning mode right now for Emily's big 2 birthday. We are going with a Mickey Mouse theme since she is pretty much obsessed. I am excited, but feel very behind in my planning already!
I don't know if any of this is "new," but this is what she is up too...
*She loves to sing. She sings a lot of songs we understand, and a million we don't but her voice is so so sweet.
*She can sing her ABC's and make all the letter sounds. She loves the Letter Factory by Leap Frog. It has been a great learning tool for her. She runs around telling us all the sounds the letters make.
*She is very independent. She says "Emmy do it" to pretty much everything. She loves putting her shoes on, or anyone's shoes on really. She is pretty good at it. Not always the right foot, but a good effort.
*She is a girly girl. She LOVES to dress up. And she loves heels. She is really good at walking in them too. She has been putting my heels on for months now, but she wears little princess dress up shoes at school a lot and can literally run in them. That's my girl!
*Howie, Lamby and Sophie are all her best friends. Really, not sure if that will ever change. Zig took a video of her last night putting them all to sleep in her bed. I will have to upload it.
*She seems so much bigger to me these days, but I think she is still probably a peanut. Especially when I found clothes that she wore last winter are still fitting her! She wears 18 month pants that are giant on her waist, 18-24 month shirts, size 4 diapers, and between 4 and 5 shoes.
*Sleeping in her bed is going great! She has only gotten out of bed once since we made the move. She opened the door and yelled down to Zig and I "I go down stairs now, Ok mommy!" It was really cute.
*Want to know what happens when your daughter silently wakes up from a nap and plays in her room for who knows how long...
I walked in to find her laundry basket EXPLODED all over the room and she was sporting this little get up. Hysterical.
*She loves to read books. She will ALWAYS ask for another one before bed.
*She loves pink and princesses.
*She especially loves to have her nails painted.
*She says the funniest things. She always has us laughing. This truly may be my favorite age. She is a riot.
We did take her "trick or treating" on Monday. I use the term loosely because we only went to Noni's house and to see Papa (Grandma was out of town.) She loved her little outfit. I personally am not a big Halloween fan, but I will play along with the kids. I really wanted her to re wear her tutu from my sisters wedding, so I paired it with some leopard ears and a tail and she was a little cat. According to my brother, she was not a leopard, since her body was sans spots, but whatever. She was more of a hybrid panther/leopard, but it was still adorable and she loved it.

Weeks 21 and 22!
Another few weeks past. I saw the doctor on Monday and everything is looking good. Little girl is really active, which I really do love, and measuring right on track. I feel great. Better than I have ever felt actually. I don't remember 2nd tri with Em as much, but my energy seems to be back for the most part, food is amazing, other than chicken. I can't get enough water. I just feel good. Other than that there really isn't a lot to update. We are trying to sell our bedroom set so we can get Emmy's big girl room done. And we are in the midst of planning a birthday party for our sweet little girl. ::TEARS::. #Areyoufreakingkiddingmethatmylittleangelisgoingtobe2!!
Anyway, here is a little update
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 21 and 22 weeks
Size of baby: According to the Bump, at 21 weeks the size of a banana. And month 5 which is weeks 22-24 she is the size of a papaya. So I guess it goes by months from here on out. Boring.
Total Weight Gain/Loss:up 8 lbs total. Could be worse. I expected worse with the amount of pumpkin bars and junk I have been consuming these days.
Maternity Clothes: Yep
Movement: Lots of movement. Swoon...
Sleep:Still not bad. I really can't complain
What I miss: I can't really think of anything? I miss my sister I guess. Not really pregnancy related, but true
Cravings: Food in general. I can't get enough. Same as last week. I really just want to eat all the time. Nothing specific though.
Symptoms: Um, giant belly? No other "symptoms" per say.
Best moment this week:I would say that over the last few weeks, I have really enjoyed spending time with family. Emmy is such a blast these days!
You can find belly pics from week 21 and 22 from my last pregnancy here!
