Soon and Very Soon

Heard this song today at church and was totally moved by the lyrics. Apparently it's not even a new song so I can't believe I've never heard it. I encourage you to listen to it and as you do, really focus on the lyrics. It truly is exciting to think that one day soon we will be seeing our Savior face to face. And we will get to be with our best friend who loves us more than all time for eternity. That gives me chills all over my body because what could ever be better than that?!

Flutters in my tummy

It's that time already?! I couldn't believe it the other day when I already felt the tiniest hint of little one moving around in my tummy. I actually had a little bit of a scare when I sat down to rest and all the sudden I had this huge jump on my left side like a kick you would feel more around 7 months along. I have to admit, I still do find that kind of strange and not quite sure what was going on there. But, I have put my worries aside and am enjoying the occasional flutters I feel giving me the reassurance that baby is growing and doing great. I've almost forgot of all the little phases your body goes through and when certain things happen. Especially since I'm not reading about pregnancy all the time like I was with Kinsleigh! We are so thrilled about this little guy or girl inside of me and marvel at God's intricate ways He is knitting them together. This time around, our lives are already so busy with another little one that we often forget to sit down, and take time out to thank God for this next little blessing. (Now I know why they say 2nd children never get quite as much of the attention). It's happening already and they aren't even born yet! But gosh, when I really do sit down and take the time to thank Him for the miracle inside of me, I can't help but think of how lucky I am of something so great. What do doctors know anyway?! I was in fact meant to be a Mommy!!! (12 weeks pic)

I'm a Big Kid Now

Look what got to come out at our house this past week! Our hope is to get this kiddo potty trained before number 2 gets here. So far, things aren't looking too hopeful but we did JUST begin. Basically she is obsessed with it throughout the day. She talks about it all the time and loves to go sit on it with her clothes on. She even wants us to leave the light on in the bathroom so she can go in there whenever she wants. When I saw how excited she was, I thought, "Hey, this is going to be a piece of cake." Until we went ahead and tried to get her to sit on it to really go pee pee. Let's just say she does NOT like sitting on it bare bum. Great! We may have a little ways to go. But you know what, I'm okay with that. She is still so little and I am definitely not in any rush to grow her up and get her into big girl pants. She can take her little time to get comfortable (as long as it's not for a whole year)!

First Day of School

Today was Kinsleigh's first day back to school! This year she is in the Toddler II class and I've got a feeling she is going to LOVE it!!! She is so great about walking right in and being a big girl. Her favorite things to do are go down the slide in her classroom, play outside, sing and do art projects. I give huge kudos to the teachers of her class because teaching multiple children of this age is NOT easy. Thank you to The Kirk teachers who are teaching our sweet girl and helping mold her into
who she is becoming. Here's to a great 2010-2011 school year!

Update of Life

You may or may not have noticed that I have been slacking in my blogging. I must apologize but baby this go round is not making it quite as easy on me as Kinsleigh did. I've had yucky morning sickness which typically hits me in the evenings the worst and it makes me want to do nothing! So I really am going to try and start doing much better and get back with it but for right now, I'm just going to be taking it slow. Hopefully soon, I can start giving more updates about baby #2 and let you know how everything is going. So far, so good and getting closer to being done with the first trimester! woo hoo!

Our Tiny Little Secret

We are very excited to announce...

okay, are you ready for it...

Kinsleigh is going to be a...











We are soooo thrilled and it as been the toughest thing EVER keeping this a secret. The goal was to try and make it through the whole entire first trimester before telling anybody but we're giving in a little early. I am already 9 weeks so I did do pretty good! We're very excited for this new chapter in our lives. Baby Kahlich #2 will be here Mid-March!!!!!

Oh Happy Day

There's not really a point to today's blog except to say that today was just an incredibly happy day. It wasn't for one particular reason, just in general. I took a moment and just sat back and realized how truly blessed I am. So many things that I've been given, I know that I do not deserve. But yet, here I am in a lovely home with a gorgeous daughter, a husband who spent the afternoon cleaning for me, a family that gets along and actually loves us, very close dear friends, and we are a part of a church home that is everything we ever could have dreamed of it being. I like to take days like today and just remember all of these things because it is so easy to have a bad day and forget.
