Here we are!

Well, here we are! The current stats with us... Ella will be ONE on Sunday (April 13th) I cannot believe how fast she is growing up. She has been trying to walk a bit for a few months now but is really starting to try get her way around the house by walking, crawling is still faster for her and if she's in a hurry or falls while walking that's what she'll do. I love to see her trying, this morning she was all over the living room and she would fall and laugh and get right back up and try again. I just LOVE to see her smile, it warms my heart..
Zoey, is three. She is in a "fun" age right now where she is very tempermental. I don't know what to do exactly and am hoping to find the right thing for us to break this behavior before we have this new baby. I've started recording Nanny 911 and have got the supernanny book from the Library to read. It is all so overwhelming right now. I wish there were an easy fix but from reading the book it looks as if I have a LONG road ahead of me.. She bit ella for the first time last night. It was so sad, I thought we had made it thru one stage without it happening to us, I thought children bit at a younger stage and was glad it had blew over, but she has just been 'out of control' lately with her behavior. I need supernanny to come and tell me what to do but I'm embarrassed that it has gotten to this point (and I don't want to be filmed ever either.. I would HATE that..). She still has some good moments where she'll play nice and be our little girl again, but it just feels as of lately they are few and far between. I want my little girl back.. I want this monster to leave.
Then, as stated above, we are expecting our third, I'm just over 17 weeks pregnant now and due mid September. We have our ultrasound on the 23rd to hopefully find out what it is. I am hoping (as is Jon) for this to be our little boy. I fear that I would be disappointed if it were another girl but I'm just worried about our future and Jon wants a boy so badly. We are just crossing our fingers until we find out, but in the end will be happy either way, because it is a new addition to our family! We will no longer just be the 'Washburn Quad' like we've been saying but instead be larger! We took having 3 in carseats into consideration, and against what I wanted but logic took over, we bought our first minivan... I still feel a bit like mid-life crisis when thinking about it, but Zoey loves the van and it isn't that bad, just thinking I'm 25 and driving a minivan.. Many of my friends laughed when I told them, but it'd be tough to fit 3 carseats side by side in the back of our Jeep. It's nice to have the two cars because of doctors appointments and things so I don't have to get up super early to take Jon to work and worry about that hassle. Although I've only driven it I think twice, it isn't as bad as I had once imagined.
I was taking classes online but have decided to take a break for now with the new baby coming, the new Zoey, and the new thought of being a mother to three! So, 5 classes in I am now not enrolled any longer. I had started school just to have the degree, and since I wouldn't be using it right away, if ever, I decided I need my life back for the moment without the constant worry of homework or falling behind, and can focus more on things that are more important to me. Jon is still working with Wilkinson's Electric. He seems to be doing really well, although the last few weeks he has came home with a few 'boo-boo's' (he almost fell off of a ladder and scraped under his arm pretty well, yesterday he poked his eye somehow and has a big mark on his eyelid, he got a 120V shock the other day...) But just makes him look "tough" hahaha... He also coaches my little brother's soccer team, and plays softball. His softball team is doing really well winning all 4 of their games thus far. He seems to like it (with the added boo-boo's of that too his knee has a big scrub that's keeps getting yuckier and bigger with every game...It probably won't heal until after the season) But all in all he seems pretty happy with it. It keeps him busy with our only night off during the week being Friday, but I think he likes the buzz of always going.
Well that is a bit of the current going-on's with us.
