change

Well, I'm going to change this blog up a bit. I would like to keep writing funny stories from our lives, but where is the time!!! :)

Two kids is a total blast and train wreck all of the time. I love it(most days...).

This is a big month for the Hunt family. Miles turns 2 on September 13th and Lucy will be 4 months on the 5th. Miles is talking all the time and saying some of the funniest sentences. He loves to say, "Ow, that hurt!" Excuse me - make that yelling, "Ow, that hurt!" Especially in the grocery store check out line while the nice lady behind me is reaching for her phone to call CPS. :)

Lucy is rolling over and smiling and cooing and all that good baby stuff. She can even sit up on her own for about 5 seconds at a time. Such the athlete! :) I remember with Miles that 4 months is the golden age for babies. They can interact well, they are sleeping through the night, but are not mobile. I love this stage. She is sleeping a good 10 hours at night and sometimes longer. God love her!! She is sort of shy and a little scared of people. She is a sensitive soul and Miles gets one inch from her face and yells "Luce!!!" all day long. He already drives her crazy. :)

Here are some recent pictures. Enjoy!


Miles was sad about changing out of his pajamas so he tried to put them back on. He also stole Lucy's pacifier and he knows he is about to get in trouble.


Her new flower hat! I know it's ridiculous, but I couldn't resist.


Miles is playing in Lucy's room and looking very mischievous.


This kid makes Jello Pudding look good!


Lucy sitting up in her chair - such a big girl!

Pregnancy the 2nd time

I am only 3 days from delivering my second child so I thought I would take time to reflect on the last nine months.

First Trimester
Early signs of miscarriage that unfortunately led to several vaginal sonograms. Yeah, they're bad. And awkward.

Nauseous all the time. Threw up before my exercise classes, during them, and after them. Drank a lot of ginger ale which now, of course, the very smell of makes me sick to my stomach.

Second Trimester
Lady in my RPM class yells out in front of the whole group, "Jou got a baby in there or just been eatin' alot? Your stomach's gettin' big but your arms are skinny, skinny!" At the gym, neither of those features are good.

Got a super bad cold and a stomach virus all at the same time. :) As I was hugging the toilet, my then 16 month old son blew raspberries on my arm and clapped every time I threw up. My husband was working late.

Found out it is a girl and immediately starting looking for the perfect pink paint! :)

Went to Body Attack, like I normally do, but this time did not realize my baby was bigger and my bladder was weaker. Yep, peed right in my pants after the first two songs, too much jumping. I promptly got my water bottle and "spilled" it on my pants. Then excused myself.

Third Trimester
At an appointment my doctor made a corny joke. I laughed courteously and said, "Ah, you're cute." My face immediately turned red, as did his, and I asked, "Did I just say that out loud?" AWKWARD!!!! We are still a little awkward with each other.

Thought I was having regular contractions at 29 weeks, went to see the dr. Turns out, it was just gas pains. Or braxton hicks - which aren't supposed to hurt. Totally embarrassing. But, like Rachel from Friends said, "no uterus, no opinion!"

Got a bad sinus infection and decided to get a steamer that you put your face down in to relieve some of the pressure. Totally burned my nose and had a big red mark on one nostril. Nice.

Had a freak out, crying moment in the dr. office because I had still been doing ab exercises, even though he told me not to, and I was freaking out that something was wrong with the baby. He sent me for a sonogram, everything was totally fine.

Doctor said I could be induced on Monday, May 5th. Cinco de Mayo!!! Nine days early from my original due date. Ole!!

just talking to myself

I decided to answer my own question, no you can't really start over. You always have baggage. More like luggage really. Your life experiences are often folded, ironed and tucked neatly away in your matching Eddie Bauer roller and carry on.

starting over

I am going to try to start over. Can anyone really ever start over though?
