Still here!
I will try to post more in the next few days about the rest of the labor and delivery process, coming home and how things have been going! If the lack of posting tells you anything is that we've had a slightly rough start, but things are getting better each day! We are adjusting to being a family of 4, just lacking in the sleep department!

It's been awhile....A very long while!
To say it's been awhile is quite the understatement! Lots has happened since April...I'll try to catch the blog and myself up!
May: Ben traveled to California for his brother David's wedding and his sister's graduation from college.
We found out that Tate was going to be a big sister in the last week of the month. We flew to Texas for Ben's sister, Julia's wedding to Jon that same week! We had a whirlwind trip (much of which I was very sick...quietly sick! As we weren't telling!)
June: Tate turned 1!!! June 13th we had a fun party with all of my "Pillow" side of the family. We also celebrated Grama and Papa's 50th wedding anniversary (as a surprise to them!) I finished school and got out for the summer too.
July: My brother (Jace), Mom, Tate and I went to Tennesee to see my grandparents. We stayed about a week and had a good time. I was very sick and nauseous most of the trip, but we still had fun! And I absolutely FROZE everyone in the car, because I was SOOO hot all the time! I would be sweating and Jace had a sweatshirt and Tate's blanket on! Pregnancy!
August: We finally "told" on Facebook. We put Tate in a little shirt that said, "Big Sister" and had my dad take pictures. Then we loaded them onto Facebook in an album and both Ben and I sat at the computer and watched people start commenting. It was really fun! Ben went with his work to the MK Re-Entry Retreat and we stayed with Mom and Dad for a few days.
I started back to school at the end of the month as well
September: Back in school and back on a schedule were good for me. I LOVE the concept of Summer vacation, but I don't usually get anything accomplished that I have in my head! I need a routine and school/work gives that to me. Tate goes to "Mama Sherry's" everyday and absolutely loves it! She usually could care less about coming home with me and cries to stay there! We began having month sonograms in September and on the 14th of that month we found out we were having a little BOY! We were so surprised! I went back and forth about what I thought it would be! I had decided that it was a girl, so that I would be excited if it turned out to be a boy! HE was a little stubborn (nothing like TaterMack was though!) and we were able to find out the same day. We had to wait 2 weeks for her. Everything looked good. We bought a little outfit and let my parents unwrap it to find out. Then Ben got on Skpe with it and showed his parents and siblings! Ben also went back to school this month. He is doing his Master's in Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness. He's had lots to do, but ended up with an "A" and a "B" in his classes!
October: Not too much in this month. Tate was Snow White for Halloween, we have some really cute pictures that my Dad took of her. Mom, Tate and I took a little day trip to the nearest Hobby Lobby (Can you hear the singing of the angels?! There is a new store opening 20 minutes away!!!! I am so excited!) to find things for the new nursery. We got fabric and things for the walls. We also did some clothes shopping for me, as I had begun to outgrow many of my things. And, we stayed busy with work and school.
November: I found out I have gestational diabetes again. Not too surprising, since I had it with Tate. Although I was annoyed that I was going to have to prick my finger again!And I fell that same day I found out in the parking lot of my school. Very graceful!
Jace came home from Union for Thanksgiving and we had a good, but short visit!
December: Whew...getting close. Let's see...at the beginning of the month we got all the Christmas stuff out and began sorting and deciding what would go up and not. Since I didn't have much energy I didn't do the Christmas Village this year. And I wasn't sure how Tate would do with it. Usually we put it on a card table and I wasn't sure that would be too safe this year! She has done pretty good with everything else though. We tell her "one finger" and that reminds her. She still brings things to us, but it has helped! Or she'll be touching with one finger and holding the item in her hand! It's still "technically" with one finger! We got snow early this year and got to skip the last two days of the school semester! I was so excited and ready for a break!
Tate turned 18 months old on December 13th. We took pictures with Mr. Bear and stamped her feet. I haven't done it every month since she turned 1, but wanted to do it for the 1/2 year. I'll have to get the pictures from my dad soon! She is getting to big and saying so many new words and doing so many new things! It's amazing to see all that she picks up and learns!
We did end up in the ER this Fall with her breathing issues. She now uses her neb every night (a pain!) but it helps to keep her breathing issues under control-especially when she's sick!
I finished up all the Christmas decorating last weekend. Along with that we have been busy turning the guest bedroom (the travel themed room) into the new nursery. We re-organized the closet, put lots of things upstairs, got rid of some things and have been trying to find a new "home" for random things! Needless to say, I have made a lot of trash this week! Mom came over today to paint. She has made all of the bedding and it is SO cute! It's even better then I pictured! It's hard for me to "see" it in my head. I'll post pictures when the room is complete! Tate and I hung out while Mom painted. We aren't very good helpers right now, we will just bump into things (me) and touch things we shouldn't! Tate has been sick this past weekend so we have had to use the neb more often and give her antibiotics. I took her in on Wednesday (before the snow started on Thursday morning!) to have her checked out and thankfully the doctor gave her meds, just in case! I filled them and we did need them!
I can hardly believe Christmas is almost here! Tomorrow is our 6th wedding anniversary! That is also very hard to believe! I never dreamed that I would be back in Richmond, with (almost) 2 kids, and teaching when I moved to Texas in 2004! Lots can happen! It feels like just yesterday and forever all at the same time! We will be going out to dinner tomorrow to celebrate the 6-years and all the craziness that it has entailed!
If you are still reading...wow, and thanks! I'll sign off for now!
Merry Christmas!
