Turns out having 2 kids has made me much busier! We welcomed Avery Grace Harlow into the world at 9:18am on March 29th, 2012 via c-section. Have to say- c-section is a vastly different experience than a natural birth. Although you get to miss the whole contraction/birth part, the recovery is a B; capital B! I still feel like my ab muscles are off. Oh well! Worth it!!!
Here is a pic from the day before Avery graced us with her presence....
And our lovely little one.....
And since she is already so much older, here is a pic of her recently.....
Avery has been such a blessing in our lives, she is a mirror image of Rheagan when she was a baby, but their personalities are much different. Avery is very calm and seems content to observe her surroundings for the most part. This is good news, I don't know if my sanity would have survived a clone of Rheagan ;) But anyways, she rocks. And Rheagan rocks as a big sis, seriously, she has been super excited and hasn't shown any anger/jealousy at all. It is awesome. The biggest worry I have with her is that she isn't as gentle as she thinks she is....
Meanwhile, while we were adding to our family, we also moved...twice. We moved to Helena about a week after Avery was born, then moved to a different house about 2 months later. Finding somewhere to live here was a giiiiiant pain!!! Still not sure if we want to buy a house here....but I for one am not interested in packing our ridiculous amount of STUFF again anytime soon.
I was blessed to have the choice to spend the first 5 months of Avery's life as a SAHM, a choice that did NOT prove to be as easy-peasy as I thought it would! I struggled!!! And have HUGE respect for all of those SAHMs out there! I am not cut out to spend all of my days at home....so as summer was winding to a close, I started looking for jobs, hoping I could find one that would be based in a school. I was very blessed to find a job doing just that! I now work as a therapist with middle school kids who have emotional disturbances. It is similar to what I was doing when we lived in Missoula. Yay! I am excited to start this new chapter in my career.
K....think that is most of the headlines for our family as of now....I didn't mention Jason, sad! He is doing great! Just the best dad and husband ever!!! He is seriously so fab with the girls, and is such a great husband, he made my bday this week FANtastic!! Love him :) He is just working away and putting his extra time into crossfit! So I am blessed with a fit and fantastic hubs :)
Our family....
