New Post!

  Sorry that it has taken me so long to post anything on here.  It's been a little crazy around here.  After I posted my last post about us being sick, things got really busy for me.  For starters, Brandon broke his back in a parachuting accident!  He's ok and has no spinal cord damage.  He just has to wear a brace for 6 weeks.  We down to 2 weeks left of that.  It was pretty hectic the 1st couple of weeks for me b/c he couldn't do anything and was in a lot of pain.  It was like have two babies to take care of.  Now, he rarely has to take pain meds, goes to physical therapy 3 times a week, and can do almost everything by himself. 
  I'm now 34 weeks pregnant and feeling like it.  Allison is pretty busy these days and keeps me busy as well.  I'm back to when she naps, I nap or prop my feet up, and it takes me a long time to get anything done.  It took me over 30 minutes the other day to fold one load of laundry!  Of course, I had a little helper too. ;)
  The weather is getting really nice here, so we've been able to spend the afternoons outside.  We have an awesome playset in our backyard, but it's not friendly for 8-month pregnant women who have heavy toddlers.  Therefore, I've been taking Allison to the park a lot.  Sumter has really nice parks here.  They are safe and very clean.  We go often enough to where Allison knows where we are going before we get there, and she gets super excited and starts clapping and shrieking with joy.
  Allison is getting funnier, smarter, more entertaining, etc. everyday.  She is still not saying much, but she knows all her shapes, understands almost every command I give her, and knows the colors red and yellow.  She is also getting more clingy towards me.  I think she knows something is going on and her alone time with Mommy is limited.  She's been crying and throwing tantrums when I drop her off at the nursery at MOPS, something she's never done and really throws all the workers for a loop.  I even had the head of the nursery ask me today why she was doing that b/c she's the baby who never cries.
  We are also making the switch to cloth diapers, but I'll write more about that later.  I now hear Allison waking up from her nap.  Here is the only pic I have of Allison wear the cute cloth diapers.  It also shows her silly side.

P.S.  I'm sorry for the terrible grammar in this post.
