little update

It's been awhile since I've provided a little update about our little family & how we're doing.

Sage continues to work long grave shift hours, I don't know how he does it sometimes.  He never seizes to amaze me.  Father's Day is coming up and I'm hoping that Anelia and I can make this one special and relaxing after all of his constant hard work for our little family.  I've already set up a nice little "stay-cation" for us at Green Valley Ranch Resort.  Sage & I have stayed there multiple times before and we love it.  The pool is amazing & definitely something I'm looking forward to with Ane.  They have a sand area that I know she's going to love.  Hopefully Sage enjoys himself and his Father's Day weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing him relax, he deserves it!

Anelia continues to grow both physically and mentally.  She's actually getting quite tall, I don't know where she would get that from?!  She's also getting a little heavy which makes it hard for this prego momma.  Everyday after we shower I'll wrap her towel around her and ask her to walk.  She always looks up at me & says "pweeeeease?"  Since she was a little baby I've always picked up her up after wrapping her up in her towel & then have her make silly faces with me in the mirror.  We've done this for as long as she can probably remember and requires it every.single.time after we shower.  Lifting her is definitely a task but since it's a tradition I just can't let her down.  Who could say no to a darling face like hers? 

Story time, yesterday, I was in our walk-in closet with the door closed and Sage was in our bathroom.  Anelia came in & goes "Where's mommy?"  Sage responded and said "I don't know where is she?"  Ane then left the room and went & checked her room then Tai's room and I could hear her saying "Where are they?  Where's mommy?  Where's Tai?...Tai? Mommy?"  *heart melted* I hadn't mentioned Tai at all yesterday & Sage asked "Have you been talking about Tai a lot today?"  I don't know if she quite understands who Tai is but she knows that when Mommy points to her belly, that's Tai & a baby.  She's getting so smart and I think we often underestimate all that she knows.

I have hit 25 weeks and 2 days in my pregnancy.  I can't believe that it's already June.  This pregnancy has flown by so quickly; in less than 2 weeks we'll be in our final trimester.  I'm so looking forward to having my baby girl here.  Although, I will admit I am trying to enjoy every moment I have with my Anelia.  I can't believe that soon she won't be our only baby.  With the heat getting higher & higher I am noticing a little bit of swelling in my hands and feet.  This was one of the worst parts of my pregnancy with Anelia so I'm trying to do all that I can to prevent it this time around. 

Our family as a whole is doing great!  We purchased a new car since Lucy died on us... RIP.  It's a red Toyota Venza and Sage is loving it.  He recently had the rims plasti-dipped with black and it turned out nicely.  It's the perfect car for our growing family right now.

My dad recently got a job in Salt Lake so my mom & I are yet again, the only ones in our family in a different state.  She & I were that only ones in Utah for a long time and now the tables have turned.  This time we don't live together though so I'm trying to do as much as possible together so she's not too lonely.  Tonight we're going to dinner before she heads to Florida for a business trip.  I'm definitely missing Utah a lot lately & our family there.  Summer is always a time that I usually go back but this year I have to wait and save my time off since I'll be on maternity leave in September.

Well, that's the update for now.
