No pics

Hi there, sorry we have no new pictures to post on our blog. I know that's the best part. I am a bit backwards with hooking up computer stuff and since we moved Greg hasn't had time to do it yet. I don't know why- working full time and going to school full time should leave plenty of time in the day to do whatever your wife wants! :)
William is growing leaps and bounds and is more like a toddler every day. He has his temper moments, but then his is back to his same sweet self like nothing ever happened! His vocabulary is growing so fast- he can say sorry, Papa (Grandpa), ice, water, food, please, thank you, whoah!, all done, and identify his head, hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, hands, tummy (sometimes there is a baby in his tummy), knees, feet, toes, hands, and fingers. He can also identify and say the letters b and o, and we're working on m, y, d, and t. Oh, and he knows happy, sad, boy, girl, on, off, up, and down. Like many parents probaby do, I think my child is a boy genius and cute enough to be on the covers of magazines.
The new little baby is coming along fine. There are no signs of toxemia this time- yea! He's still measuring quite large and is to the point where there's not much kicking room so he just wiggles and rolls around in there. Honestly it makes me feel a little claustrophobic to think of him crammed in my stomach for 9 months, but I guess we all survived it. I'm excited to have him out and see him. We had a 4-D ultrasound about 3 months ago and he actually looked very cute and had the sweetest smile. I'm taking it as a sign that he'll be a happy child.
I'm optimistic our birth experience at Mckay Dee Hospital will be a good one. They have one room with a birthing tub that I'm really hoping won't be in use so I can try it. I've heard the tub is great for pain relief and I actually think it would be kind of cool to deliver underwater, but we'll see how things go. My midwife is pretty open to whatever I want to do and the hospital policy is surprisingly lenient. William's delivery was really good considering I had to be induced, so I'm hoping this one will also go well. From what I've heard, labor is tougher when you're induced, so if I could do that without an epidural, I'm confident I can go natural again this time.

I was born in the Mckay Dee hospital. I'm glad to hear there's no sign of toxemia.

Yeah, we are alive -- we haven't fallen off the planet, just fallen out of our house -- so to speak. We sold it!! Well, in the process of selling. We accepted an offer 3weeks ago, and if all goes well, we close on the 23rd of February and have to be out on the 28th. So, the past 2 weeks have been CRAZY trying to look for a new house, which we have yet to find, and also try to pack with 2 little ones -- one of which unpacks the box faster than I can get it packed, and then cries when I tape it shut. So, that is why there have been no posts.
