Oops!!

I just realized how long it's been since I've blogged...sorry about that! Life has a way of getting away from ya, doesn't it?? So for a quick update...We have been here for nearly 5 months and it has FLOWN by! We are finally settling into a routine and it's feeling more and more like home. John just switched to a permanent weekend duty schedule which seems like it will actually be really great. He works 8hrs Friday, 12hrs Saturday and Sunday, and 8hrs Monday. Then he has 3 days off!! Yea! We are really excited about the 3 day weekends because it's our chance to travel this summer. Most of his shop is deployed for the summer so we didn't know if he would get any time off before the baby is born. And now we have our chance! We are hoping to go to Paris for our 3rd anniversary. =)
Haylee will be 20 months old on the 25th and I can't believe how fast she is growing. Her vocabulary is exploding more and more everyday and I think she's just too smart for her own good...it's hard to get anything by her! She repeats everything we say and her new favorite thing to do is take bubble baths. She's definitely a girl!!! She has a new little friend across the street and she always wants to go over and play with her. She's come over a few times and I am learning that Haylee doesn't quite know how to share her toys...it definitely helps when you have 2 of everything!
I am now 18 weeks pregnant and everything is going great! I just transfered to Addenbrookes hospital in Cambridge so that I can try to deliver naturally and I'm really excited about it. We still don't know the sex and I'm really not sure when we will. And I am surprisingly ok with that! It sure is different the second time around. I've been feeling a lot of movement and I can't wait till Haylee can feel the baby move. Now that I'm over the morning sickness it seems like we are our and about constantly and have to find time to relax. It's a nice change.
The house is finally almost set up the way that I want it so I will have updated pics soon. I know it's pathetic that we've been here for 4 months and the house still isn't totally set up but I just haven't had the energy to do it. All it due time right?!
We sure do miss everyone back at home! I'm really excited that my grandparents are coming to visit next month and more family and friends are coming later this summer. Everytime I am out running errands I think about what it will be like to show you guys our life here. We can't wait to freak you out with the driving and show you all the incredible sights of England. It really is an incredible place!!!
