Natalie is getting so big!  Well, not literally, she's still a very small 17 month-old, but she is growing up!  We have basically gotten rid of the pacifier, except at naptime and bedtime.  I am hoping now she will decide to talk a little more.  She is very smart and knows exactly what we are saying, but just doesn't want to get the words out yet!  My mom says I was the same way.  And then one day I just decided to start talking, and I had this huge vocabulary.  I can't wait!  We are still in the process of transitioning her to a toddler bed and will hopefully really get this accomplished in the next few weeks.  
Tucker is due to arrive 7 weeks from today!  If I can make it that long!  I just have a feeling I won't....we will see!  I have my 32 week appointment this afternoon.  We bought all of his bedding and room stuff while we were in Dallas a couple of weekends ago.  We are painting his room in a couple of weekends and last night I sorted through boxes and boxes of clothes from people who have little boys.  I plan on washing all that stuff and getting it put away in the next couple of weeks also.  Our goal is to be totally ready by Thanksgiving.  
I can't believe it's already time for the holidays....the thought of shopping completely overwhelms me at this point in my life.  I think I am doing it all online this year.
