It's Been Too Long...

It's been way too long since I've posted. Here's the short(ish) version of what we're up to:
~Baby #2 is due March 10th. We find out if Baby is a boy or a girl in three weeks. I have had my pregnancy hives again the last couple months and the doctors can't seem to fix it this time. We're trying a new approach this week, and we'll see if it helps.
~Steve is very busy with school and work this semester, and looking forward to graduation next May!
~Steve's brother Andrew moved back in with us in July. Emrie loves having "Uncle Doo-Doo" around again, and we enjoy the help and free babysitting.
~I am the secretary to the Relief Society in my ward now, and enjoying some adult conversation again along with lots and lots more meetings. I'm also learning a lot about Excel from Steve. Who knew that program was actually useful?!
~Emrie is a bundle of energy and opinions and learning new things like a little sponge right now. It's both exciting and trying to see her develop more and more independence. Lately, she loves puzzles, dancing, and thinks EVERYTHING, particularly mommy's things, are "Emmy's". She sleeps with lip gloss in her hand and calls it "yips". She also wears my jewelry and all of our shoes. All her skirts are "tu-tus" and she insists on wearing at least two at a time lately. She still loves Elmo, babies, and all animals. We watch Bolt at least once a day for a few minutes. She says "Bess You!" when she sneezes and "All Better!" when we kiss her owies. We've been working on counting and she usually goes, "two, two, six, seven, nine, ten!" Every day is an adventure and we love her to pieces.

I have new pics but my computer can't handle them. I'll have to add them from another computer another day.

Love the update on the Holden family! I can't wait to see if Baby #2 is a boy or a girl...I think Baby should be a girl--I can picture both Steve and Chris taking four little girls to the park to let their mommies rest :) I hope your pregnancy hives go away soon! Best of luck to you guys in the coming weeks. Miss you lots (especially when our husbands can be counted on to have football on the TV all day, every Saturday)!
