Goodbye to Corporate Life for a while

Well, it's official. I had my last day of work on friday and I have to say it wasn't sad or wierd at all. I guess that just tells me that we really made the right decision and I was ready for this next job of being a full-time stay at home mom. My first few days at home have been nice and really no different than when I was home on Wednesdays. I don't think it will really hit me for a while that I don't have to "go in" to work. Ethan still has kindergarten until the 30th, so maybe once he is home it will seem more real.

We had a very nice weekend - we spent as much of it outside as we could! Ethan and Mike took their 2nd annual turkey hunting trip and they were successful again. Ethan just loves going with Daddy to hunt. Mike got this nice turkey with his bow and arrow.
I had my 32 week appointment today and all is well with baby. He/She is very active and the heartrate is in the 150's. This pregnancy has almost been identical to Olivia's so I am thinking it is another girl. Although, I have had 2 boy dreams pretty close together but then I had a girl dream just 2 nights ago, so who knows. I guess we will find out in 8 weeks or less.

The kids are doing well. We spend as much time outside as we can each day/night. Lots of walks, swinging, playing catch, etc. Olivia is doing a little signing but nothing consistent yet. She has said "all done" a few times (well it sounds kind of like that but nothing completely clear) and she also says "Uh-Oh". She definitely has some spice in her so we have had to get mad at her a few times or just tell her "No" which makes her SO sad. She has more of Ethan's personality but definitely Avery's sensitiveness. She breaks out in an all out cry with these huge tears - it is so sad and cute at the same time, but I know I can't give in no matter how much I want to. She is taking steps around furniture and toys but no real steps on her own yet.
Hope you all have a wonderful memorial weekend! We will just be hanging around home and celebrating a little on sunday for Olivia's 1st Birthday. Her big b-day bash isn't until next saturday.

Oh I have also posted some pics below of Olivia with her baby. This is her new thing - she hugs, kisses and tries to feed her baby! It is precious!
