After a long day back at work on Tuesday....Noah and I made it home and Opa and Jojo arrived! We got to enjoy them from Tuesday evening-Monday morning! Addison offered them hugs immediately on arrival and called them by name (the beauty of skype!) They helped us to celebrate Addison's birthday with a trek to Choo Choo Bob's, presents, lunch out, eating a special macaroni and cheese dinner and ice cream cake, and playing in the park on September 6! We can't believe our little girl is 2!!!!! We celebrated again on Saturday morning (8th) with 7 of Addison's little friends and their parents. We had a choo-choo themed brunch! Addison had a wonderful time playing with her friends, and received so many thoughtful gifts! She has been greatly entertained at home this week with all of her new goodies! Thank goodness Opa and Jojo were here to offer extra hands, as the preparation is definitely more difficult when 29 weeks pregnant and trying to chase a toddler! :-) We greatly enjoyed their visit, and look forward to them returning again in mid-October! Opa and Jojo are now both officially retired, so we expect to see much more of them!!!
After our stay in NC and our visit from Opa and Jojo, Addison was desperate for some return to normalcy and extra sleep! She finally made up for this exhaustion the last two days and slept ~12 hours each night, followed by long naps during the day! She is back to her usual self again! :-)
Yesterday was Addie's 2 year check up at the pediatrician, and we received great news......our little girl is growing!!! :-) She is now 33.5 inches long, and 26 pounds 3 ounces! She has made it to the 40th percentile for height and weight, and still is right above average for head size! Although she will always be "our little peanut", she sure is moving up that growth curve! She checked out perfectly healthy, and walked away with only a prick to the finger (she didn't even flinch...no tears!!!) and a flu mist in the nose! She was super excited to receive TWO stickers for being such a good girl!
first pigtails!!!! :-)
Our future TARHEEL!!!

Amazing picture of Addison and all of her friends at the birthday party!!!
Yum, yum!
present time!
As for peanut #2 on the way........not much new news.........other than mommy's belly is HUGE and I am almost 30 weeks (this Saturday)! I have developed some intermittent R sided sciatica that is super irritating....but other than that feeling pretty good. My appetite is just now starting to slow down a little (as I don't think there is a ton of room left in there) :-). As for weight, I've gained about 26 pounds.....so right on my way to a close finish to what I was with Addison (around 33 lbs). I'm still doing the elliptical machine 3-4 x/week and walking outside. Work has just begun to get a little more difficult with the increased belly size and some undesirable round ligament pain after so many hours on my feet....but I'll hang in there as long as I can! :-) Baby girl sounds healthy and is measuring right on track for a November arrival! We are so EXCITED!!!!
