17 Weeks! --And a little bit of sadness in other areas of life.

Sorry, I like counting the weeks! ;) They are flying by!
I don't know if anyone is really *that* interested in reading the weekly development that I post from babycenter.com, so I'm not including it today. I like reading it, but of course I would HaHa, because it's what's happening inside of ME! (That still amazes me to think about, even being Baby #2!) Two short weeks, and we will get to see Baby on ultrasound! So excited!!

Unfortunately as new life is beginning, others are ending. Stephen's Grandma passed away Tuesday morning. A blessing for her, but it is still, of course, sad/hard for everyone else. The thing I will remember most about his Grandma is that whenever I saw her or was around her she seemed to be smiling 99% of the time! It just made you want to smile as well. I didn't get to see or be around her often, as she lived in Idaho, but it was always so good to see her! We were lucky enough to get to see her this July on our way back from Washington, and I think we all kind of unfortunately knew then that it was going to be our goodbye. I feel so bad because I intended to take a picture of her with Noah, but he was wanting to run around the care center and get into things like any other typical toddler, so I was feeling a bit of anxiety and forgot to take the picture! :( So sad! I didn't even get to really say goodbye that day, I had to take Noah outside because he was getting restless. I think the more important thing is that my mother-in-law and Stephen were able to see her, hug her, and say their goodbyes in a way though. I would much rather be the one to take him outside than have them miss out on that, even though I am extremely sad I missed out on doing it as well, and again missed out on taking a picture of Noah and his Great Grandma. She will be missed very much by many!! We love you Grandma!! ..I am sure she is smiling even more now that she is reunited with her husband and other family! :)
