Today marks the 10th anniversary of September 11th. I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on that tragic day. I will be forever grateful to the men and women who serve our country.
Another event to remember on 9/11 is that Leif purposed to me back in 2004. We had just started our master's program and had to travel to Silverton, Colorado to meet our class cohort for the first time. Leif had a football game to coach Saturday morning back in Steamboat which was about a 2 hour drive away. So, I went to class and thought nothing of it. Late in the afternoon Leif called to say the game was over and he was just leaving Steamboat. Okay -so I figured I'd see him in about 2 hours. To my surprise he showed up about 10 minutes later! Okay- at this point I knew something was up but I wasn't sure what exactly. We went out to dinner at a local pub and Leif kept rushing me to finish. At this point, I knew. After dinner we went for a walk along the docks. Leif distracted me by looking at some bird and when I looked back at him he had the ring across his heart and asked me to marry him! The rest is history....
Time for big girl bed :o) Leinna was all to excited to help put things together. We were thankful to get the bed from a friend in town who no longer needed it for her little girl.
The bed looks so tiny where the crib once was, but Leinna does well sleeping in her big girl bed. I did wrap the headboard with the "bumper" pads from the crib for a little bit of comfort. She only took a face plant once - the afternoon we were setting it up and getting organized. She busted her lip open a little but is a quick learner and now goes feet first to get out of her bed.
So, you may be wondering why are we putting Leinna into a big girl bed when she's only 14 months old? Well....That's not a picture of me gaining weight - it's a picture of baby bump #2!!
Leinna's nickname was 'Peanut' and Baby #2 is going to be nicknamed 'Nugget'. We are happy to say that 'Nugget' has a due date of end of March/early April. First appointment went well and we learned there was only 1 baby - we thought maybe there were 2 as I have started to show much earlier than I did with Leinna and with this pregnancy - I can eat non-stop and never feel full!
So "Nugget" will remain "Nugget" until he/she is born. Like with Leinna we plan not to find out the sex of the baby nor share the names we are considering. Until the next update- we hope everyone is doing well.
