Things have been crazy here. There are so many updates so we'll just start with a list.
At number one, we have the most significant/life-changing:
There were chances to post this earlier, but we just kept putting it off for various reasons, then we decided to wait until one of many milestones of the journey. We found out yesterday that Ada will be getting a little sister sometime around Thanksgiving! We were a little surprised to see the girl bits in the ultrasound, as there have been so many girls born in our families lately, but she looks healthy and beautiful so we are excited.
To accommodate #1, we have #2: We moved to a bigger place in Flagstaff. After our 2-week trip to Utah (more on that later), we came right home to get the keys to our new place- a townhouse on the other side of town. We spent the next several days moving and have happily fallen in love with almost everything about the place.
It has a 2-car garage (=storage), an extra room that Bryan can use as an office and it's close to things that will be useful- like the hospital, pediatrician, downtown Flag and several parks.
#3: Ada turned two years old. Along with that has come screaming and defiance, but those are overshadowed by her increasing knowledge of the world, talking, singing, improved dance moves and endless entertainment. She is such a great girl and we wouldn't know what to do without her.
The road trip to Utah will take a whole other post, so I will get to it soon. Right now we are recovering from a LONG day that started at 4:15 a.m. when we had to wake Ada up to eat breakfast before she was cut off from eating at 5:00, due to her scheduled eye surgery in Phoenix. All was going well until we realized she was running a fever of about 101 degrees. We knew we needed to call the doctor to check in, but it was so early in the morning and we had to leave for Phoenix before the offices were open. Fortunately, we didn't get too far out of town when we were able to talk to the surgeon who had decided to cancel the surgery due to her fever. By the time we got home, a construction crew had shown up to fix both of our balconies, thus preventing any of us from taking naps until about 3:30 this afternoon. Ada was a champ, but she's still sleeping and fighting off whatever is causing her fever. We sure ended up with a strong daughter.
