A Post

I decided I'm about due to make a post. I've actually written 3 blog entries before this, which are saved on blogger. To be completely honest, I'm not quite sure why I never posted them. There are quite a few things that have happened since I posted last, but here's the major things I can remember:

August 4th: Molly turned 1!!

August 25th: Molly got her first cousin on the Smith side

August 29th: Found out we're expecting. SURPRISE! (To even us).

October 12th: Keith & Stacy 3 year anniversary

November: IT'S A BOY

December 25th: Christmas! (Christmas pictures to come)

January: Stacy commits to blogging at least once a month (Yes, really.)

Things have been crazy around here with the holidays, finding out we're expecting, Keith going to school, etc. Molly is growing way to fast, but not getting any fatter. At her 15 month check up, in November, she weighed in at a whopping 18.1 pounds. This is in the 1.3 percentile. Her height was in the 85th percentile at 30.5 inches. The Dr isn't worried about her as she seems to be eating well, and her anemia has finally gone away. He thinks that she's just going to take after her daddy, who can eat anything and still stay super skinny.

She does something new everyday and I can't imagine life without her. She is getting so smart. Today she accidentally stepped on my finger. I said "ouch" and she walked over, kissed my finger, went over and opened the cupboard, and pointed to the bandaids. She's only seen me get bandaids maybe twice, and catches on so quickly to things. She knows lots of words, and already recognizes letters and numbers... though every letter is an "s" and every number seems to be a "6". Her two multiple syllable words were "Dora dora dora" (Always said three times) and "backpack". This was after watching Dora the Explorer twice.

Keith has been going to school and working. He was able to cut his hours down a little bit at work, to focus more on school. We've still got a way to go until he's done with school, but I finally feel like we're on the downward slope, as he's more than half way done. He works so hard at school, and always comes home with a smile on, ready to help with Molly, dishes, laundry... you name it. Sometimes I have to be careful how much I ask him to do, because I know he is always more than willing to do anything for me.

I have been lucky not to have any morning sickness whatsoever with this pregnancy. I had hardly any with Molly, but this time, I often questioned whether I was pregnant. I do get carsick, which I don't when I am not pregnant. I was however very tired, and still have to go to pee about 20 times a day. We're excited to be having a boy, but we are having the hardest time deciding on a name. It's not that we can't agree on one, we just haven't found any we love. We still have 3 1/2 months to think about that though. Also, I cut off 12 inches of my hair!! I decided to donate it to locks of love.

I think that about sums it up for now. Here's a few more pictures we got taken in November (In Sunny St George) by the wonderful Alecia (http://www.aleciasphotography.blogspot.com/) She is amazing.
