Well the long and short of it is that after a stint without paychecks Mike was offered a job in another city. E celebrated her first birthday while we struggled from then until September with her eating and physical development she is now on track for a normal toddler! She started walking at 17 and a half months and is now saying several words: bye-bye, night-night, daddy, mama, more, and baby.
We are so happy that she is doing so well!
We found out that we were expecting #2 early this year and he (it's a boy!) is due in less than 3 weeks! I told you it had been a while...so life has changed a lot in the past year!
This pregnancy has been rough! Preterm contractions at 25 weeks, partial bedrest for Evie from then on, more contractions at 32 weeks, fluid gushing at 34 and 36 weeks (which we thought was the water breaking) and now the inevitable wait for the end of the journey and the beginning of life with "two". We found out that all the loss of fluid may be caused by a weakness in the top of the amniotic sac causing slight tearing where fluid collects and then rushes out. Apparently this type of tear reheals easily and isn't an infection risk. It has been very confusing and frustrating. Well, in spite of the drama we are soooo very ready to meet our son.
Other than that Mike is working a 2nd job to help us catch up from last year's difficulties and is tired a lot from working upwards of 60-65 hours a week between working for the Dioceses and working evenings/weekends at Target. We are so blessed to have made it to this point and are excited for the upcoming Advent Season.
Many blessings!
