All kinds of updates!

So...it has been a while...not too much has happened...but here ya go (all 3 of you that read this)!

We are getting ready to move again. This time we are going back to Cobb County...we are moving in with my mom at the end of February (anyone want to help...lol)!!! I can not wait to get back on that side of town. As you know Jeremy lost his mom last year which was even harder being out here. Then at the beginning of this month his grandmother passed away as well. These passing's combined with the 2 car accidents he had out here have left a horrible taste in our mouths...needless to say we are ready to close the Gwinnett chapter of our lives.

Baby #2 is coming along just fine. I don't think I ever posted it on here, but it's another GIRL. Her name will be Kennedy Diane Harris (Diane is after Jeremy's mom and yes we are sticking with the Presidents theme for the first name)! We are super excited about her arrival...but not quite ready. Hopefully we will get things more ready after the move. She is due April 26th...here's hoping she comes out a little sooner!

Raegan is growing up way too fast. She is all over the place...running and talking all the time! I think she notices that mommy's belly is getting bigger, but she knows nothing of the baby being inside it. And I don't really stress the whole "mommy has a baby in her tummy" issue - I think she is just too young to understand and I don't want her thinking that my actual belly is the baby...ya know? She does play with baby dolls and I do talk to her about having a baby sister...just not in conjunction with my belly. She is also still sleeping in the bed with us (I know this makes us horrible parents). We do love all the cuddle time, but we are ready to reclaim our bed and our "mommy and daddy" time (wink, wink)! I am not strong enough for Ferberization! I am currently reading "Good Night, Sleep Tight" by The Sleep Lady. Hers is a "no cry" method of sleep training. Obviously I know (and she clearly states this) there will be some crying, but its not quite as harsh as Ferber's method (sorry for the use of such a negative word for any of you Ferber fans). The Sleep Lady also suggest that the changes not be made within a few weeks of any life changing events. So with the upcoming move and new baby we are on a tight timeline. I am going to finishing reading the book between now and the move. Then I will have approximately 8 weeks to make the changes and get Raegan on a good schedule before Kennedy's arrival. I know it will be tough but it's something I've got to do...for my on sanity!!! And as an added bonus I'm also learning all the mistakes I made with Raegan that got us to where we are today (as far as sleep goes) and how not to make them with Kennedy. I'll let ya know how it goes.

And lastly, after Jeremy's mom passed away, I kind of fell off the coupon shopping wagon. I still did it, but was very lackadaisical about it...but no more. I'm back on and resolving to do better...organize better, shop better, and save more!!! And what a week to start!!! Kroger did their Mega Sale again and Ingles is doing triple coupons. Here's what I got at Kroger this morning. I'll post Ingle separately (as it will be longer and I'm not going until tonight).
