A possible sign of RELIEF !!

Recently, Alexa and I had gone on Vacation to see Grandma Joy and Aunty Ana !! now while being on vacation I did the worst thing possible, which was to let Alexa crawl in bed with me in the middle of the night the whole time we were in Florida :/ So needless to say while we have been home for 2 weeks, Alexa has NOT been wanting to sleep in her room in HER big girl bed.. She has been getting up in the middle of the night more then she did when she was a newborn, and opening her door  screaming my name ( good thing we invested in a baby gate) !  I have slept on her floor, crawled out of her room ( as quiet as possible.. keep in mind I'm 5 months pregnant l0l ) Fell asleep with one arm in her bed while resting my head on her railing, I have even tried putting a stuffed animal on her back to resemble my hand being there... Yea the last couple weeks I have been pretty desperate l0l. But the best thing I have done recently was asking my WONDERFUL Facebook moms and dads for advice, and for the last couple of nights or two I have followed through and let me say it has been SO MUCH easier ! she hasn't gotten up as much, and tonight I put her in her bed, told her I loved her and shut her door all the way and within a few min of whimpering she was out !!

But on the flip side.... :)))

Everything with my pregnancy has been going GREAT ( knock on wood ) Alexa is even saying hi to her brother or sister and kissing my belly with an added a hug at the end :) As well as each and everyday I am feeling more and more movements, kicks, punches, and summersaults which to me is THE BEST PART OF BEING PREGNANT, from here on out ! It brings joy to my heart and brings me back to the core of my well being :) Alexa has even felt a few kicks, and each time she feels one her face lights up and she goes... " WHOA !!! " 

( kinda like the picture below, but minus her being in the sink..haha )

but any-who, everything in TheYoung Bungalow is going wonderful and we are becoming more and more excited on welcoming our second blessing to our beautiful family ! as well as watching Alexa continue to change and grow each and every day <3

- Always & Forever Young <3
