Hello, Old Friend

I cannot believe it's been more than a month since I've posted here. I've been so busy that I really haven't had a chance to sit down and write anything. Very sad. So, here's a quick recap of what has been going on in our world.

Trip to New Orleans
We went to New Orleans for Passover in April. Tali and I went down a bit early so we could spend some extra time with the family - including Tali's new cousin Ariel! Tali missed Jackson terribly (we left him with Savta) and even cried over it a few times. Then, H came down on Friday evening and we spent a weekend alone at a friend's B&B. We had a great time and it was nice to get away. Unfortunately, Tali didn't have such a good time. She was so depressed that I left her that she just want to take naps all day. She wasn't a happy kid. My poor mom and sister did the best they could with her. During Seder, Tali recited the Four Questions in Hebrew (she repeated after me), saving Uncle Brian the embarrassment of having to do them. My only regret is that we did not get it on video. She did a great job.

Colds
Near the end of our trip to New Orleans, Tali got a cold. We flew home with her cold and then I caught it. It was miserable. Since I'm pregnant, I couldn't really take anything. And I couldn't sleep because I couldn't breathe. I spent quite a few nights on the sofa (so H wouldn't catch it), just laying there. Its awful to be pregnant and sick and it took me about a week to get better.

Potty Training
I now consider Tali fully trained. It was pretty easy, really. There were some accidents in the beginning but she picked it up pretty quickly. The only downside is that she now wakes up at night if she has to pee. Even though I put a Pull-Up on her, she won't go in it. Usually, it's just once but sometimes it is two or three times. It's not fun being nine months pregnant and having to get up in the middle of the night. But I guess she's preparing me for a newborn. I just hope she's not waking at opposite hours of him. Then I'll never get any sleep!

We have a house!
H and I signed a contract on a house! Our four-year search  is finally over. It's a half hour from where we are now in a beautiful little town. But, the house needs some work. So now I am going to take on a house renovation with a 2-year-old and a new baby. I must be crazy.

Those are the main things that have been going on over here. I promise to be better about blogging going forward. (At least until the baby comes.)
