we'll call her...

AVA! That's all we know right now, but it feels great to have something to call her as we plan for her arrival. The sweetest part is listening to big sister, Bella, say her name.

let me tell you...

what is hard: to juggle a master's degree, a two and a half year old, pregnancy and things like laundry & other housework. oh, and did i mention my husband? and my faith? and commitment to do nursery duty once a month and lead a bible study... sheesh. we are overwhelmingly blessed but figuring out this whole time management thing is tricky. bella continues to make it fun though. we never have a dull moment.

i went to the ob yesterday for my check-up (22 weeks!). everything went well, but trouble reading the heartbeat again! it was evident she was doing just fine though because she continued to kick the doppler tool. she played her usual game of hide and seek and the nurse advised me to have a talk with her about calming down. i am getting nervous! she is a little wild child already.
