The Hampshire Family: Catching Up!

Over the last few weeks we have been pretty busy preparing the house and ourselves for our new arrival who should be here in about 9 weeks. We are so excited and just trying to get everything in order before his arrival...I like to have everything...well lets just say organized. I finally have all of Ava's bedding here and we are just waiting on her bed to arrive, I picked out Landon's fabric and Tyler's mom is in the process of making his bedding (so excited). We are still working on the potty training thing with Ava (she is using it everyday for both #1 and #2 just not every time)..hey I can't complain I think she is doing GREAT! Ava's talking up a storm and is shocking us with her early morning surprises these days. Every morning she walks into our bedroom between 6:30 and 7 AM!! Keep in mind we have lowered her mattress to the floor, put her back in a sleep sack and we are all out of ideas to keep her in her crib. To most parents this may be normal getting up this early...for us it is NOT! Ava has always gone to bed between 8:30-9 and wakes up around 9 AM. So we are slowly adjusting to these early mornings. I guess she is preparing us for the total lack of sleep we are about to have again. I am feeling much better these days after throwing up for the first 6 months of this pregnancy. Tyler and I are trying to get together with friends as much as possible before we enter the whole newborn phase again. Ava and I have been getting together with all her friends and my fun mommy friends as often as we can before I am afraid to leave the house with TWO!!
