You can never have too many friends.

We are adjusting to life since Sean came home almost a week ago. Sleeping schedules are getting better (Autumn hasn't been sneaking into our room the last two nights- thank goodness!!), Sean is sleeping until 5 am now. Autumn still gets upset when Sean walks out of the room, she starts hollering, "Come back". One of the days that Sean had to go to work, Autumn got in one of our closets, cried for awhile and refused to come out. She is slowly starting to realize I think that daddy is home for good.

Everyone that knows Autumn really well knows that she has an entourage. I've talked about it before. She requires a multitude of stuffed animals to go to bed with, cuddle downstairs with, etc. Yesterday morning, I walked downstairs and saw this:

All the friends
All of Autumn's friends/blankets in the chair with her.

No room for Autumn
From another angle, there is barely any room for her!!

Happy
She doesn't look to upset about it though.

Autumn and I have been really enjoying Sean being home- he is off from work now for a few weeks and we will be doing somethings around town and possibly up in Fairbanks, weather permitting. I'm trying to get back on some sort of schedule with my blog- probably going to start posting twice a week or something like that. Stay tuned, I'll let you know, so you know when to check back with me!

On another note, I had my 28 week (I went at 29 weeks) appointment this week and the doctor said I was measuring at 31 weeks and that my belly felt really tight. It does feel really tight, like the baby is trying to push her way through my skin. I am hoping the skin stretches a little bit here soon!!

29 weeks NH2
29 weeks pregnant with New human #2. Other than that, the doctor said it was safe to continue exercising (just no more spin class and no more hiking with Autumn on my back) and that I was cleared for air travel as well so long as nothing major comes up between now and then.

Sean and I are trying to figure out what sort of family vacation we want to take. We are seriously considering Hawaii at this point, but have not made any definite plans at this point.

That is what is going on in our corner of the world. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Smiles for miles.
Autumn has smiles for miles.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
