Maddie's chocolate mishap

Everyone should know now that Carrie is pregnant. The Dr. thinks she is about 6.5 weeks along so the baby will be due at the end of July. We are very excited! I want a boy and Carrie wants a girl. Carrie has been feeling nausiated for a couple of weeks now and unfortunately that is coupled with a pretty bad cold. She can't really take any antibiotics so the cold has lasted longer than normal. She has been trying to get plenty of sleep to get better, but that has been difficult for her to do.

As you can see from the picture, Maddie is not slowing down at all! That was the result of her finding some chocolate early in the morning when she usually plays with her toys in the living room. Carrie really had a blast cleaning that mess up. The chair has a nice spotted print to give it a little character. Another new development this week is Maddie's new friend that she plays with all around the house. It is a fly that found its way inside our house, probably because it was freezing to death outside (I have to pour water on my car each morning because of the frost). She loves to find him and try to touch him and then when he flies away she just thinks it's the greatest thing in the world. She hasn't been outside lately since it is so cold and that was always her favorite part of the day. It is good she is finding ways to entertain herself inside the house as well.

As for me...school is out in a couple weeks and I am looking forward to enjoying each night with the fam! Being in class Mon-Wed is even tougher on Carrie than it is me because she doesn't have anyone to help with Maddie.
