Big Girl Status

We have achieved "big girl" status officially over here! The bed is out! She napped for 3 hours in it today. We haven't yet decided about a headboard or if we will do a daybed/trundle (which is probably our choice) but for now this will do just fine to get the transition rolling! Sometime between now and February she will be moving rooms too. The baby will get the little room and she will get the guest room. One transition at a time though right?! Once we find out the sex of the baby it will help us move onto the next phase of decorating.

We are hoping tonight goes well too. We are putting up a safety rail tonight too. This whole transition makes me nervous....will she nap everyday? will she terrorize her room? I am sure all these fears will be met but worked through but I can't help but be a bit scared of her new found freedom. At the same time I am super excited for her. We kissed through the rails of her crib last night and I knew it would be the last time. Bittersweet.....but we'll be doing it all again soon! Just not with my baby Claire anymore.

Our little fig

Our little "fig" was moving and kicking this morning. 11wks and 5days along! I only had 2 ultrasounds with Claire. One at 6wks and at 20wks so this was a first for me. It was so cool to see an 11wk old baby moving around. I couldn't believe he/she was moving it's legs and arms. Crazy! So happy to see that baby is looking good and measuring great with a good heartbeat! Go baby Go!!

Other than lack of sleep due to a very noisy 2 yr old who is teething and waking a LOT and me needing to pee all night, we are good over here. The lack of sleep is making for some cranky tired tantrums before nap and bedtime but like everything else this too shall pass. We signed Claire up for soccer and it starts in September. She is SOOO excited. She has her tennis shoes and soccer ball ready to go. I will post pics soon! She is practically sleeping in her new shoes she loves them so much.

A little trip

Can I just again that I am not in a blogging mood with this pregnancy. I just don't even want to sit and type or think about anything to write! Or take pictures which is horrible because my baby needs documentation! The good news is that I am feeling pretty good. The pregnancy is going as smoothly as my first! Maybe it's a girl again???

We had a nice little weekend last weekend. We cleaned and cleaned and cleaned on Saturday. So on Sunday I thought we needed to be spontaneous (which we aren't really known for!ha!) and go explore some of Arizona. We took a little day trip up to Payson, AZ. It was raining like crazy on the drive up (monsoon season) but once the rain stopped it was a high of 70! You can't beat that in the summer heat of August. It was nice to escape the heat if only for a little bit. We also stopped at Saguaro Lake for a quick look at the water and boats. Neither of which Claire had seen before. Since we didn't go for the outdoor activity due to the rain there wasn't much to do in Payson but I am still glad we made the drive.

the wooden bears in payson. she loved these bears!

In other news, school is back in session and Claire couldn't be happier (and so am I!!!). It's so nice to get a routine back. I have also been hitting the gym (pick your jaws up off the ground, it's true!). I hope to keep this up and go 2-3 times a week. Just walking on the treadmill has made me feel so much better. I was getting super sluggish and blah feeling. I needed a boost! Claire loves the daycare so it's been win win!
