Changes

It's hard to believe in just a few short weeks we will be welcoming our second bundle of joy! Since this will be our second time around we are in on the secret and know that a very small person brings very big changes.

This has become very helpful especially during my pregnancy because I can't bend over here very well.

It's time for some changes around here and they will be here sooner than we think. The countdown has begun.
