The fresh start of Spring

The beginning of March for me marks the beginning of my second trimester with baby #2. I am so thankful to have made it out of the first and am anxiously awaiting the improvement in energy and sickness. This past week seemed to be the hardest yet so I am looking forward to the change that the second trimester will bring.

Much thanks to Jonathan's parents, we are settled in our new home! Jonathan spent a week painting every wall and refinishing the floors then we spent the rainiest day of the year moving all our furniture and boxes over. Jonathan and Maria arrived a few days later just in time to hang things on the wall and unpack the multiple bags and boxes stored in the garage. With things comfortably left in their and my husband's hands, I left town for a solo trip to Atlanta for my cousin's wedding. To spend a flight with no sippy cup or pacifier was quite a change, but one I adjusted to quickly nonetheless. I had a great time with family celebrating the wedding and came home to a house filled with decorating and love!

Since then, we have been putting the finishing touches on the house, fending off the last bouts of morning sickness, and keeping Anna Kate busy with her toddling and exploring. Today our new refrigerator will arrive along with our friends visiting from Boston. They have a daughter just about Anna's age so we are looking forward to the girls spending the week together!

Sorry for the long break from blogging...I hope to do better with the fresh start of spring :)
