Finally back!

My laptop crashed and I finally got a new one (thank you Mom!) so I can start blogging again. Here's what's happened since my last post...
I had my baby! Celeste Lily was born on November 4th, 3 days late. It was the greatest birth experience I could have hoped for and we're really enjoying having her in our family.
Celeste is now 2 months old and is getting so big! She was born weighing 7lbs 6oz and 21in long. At her 2 month appointment, she weighed 12 lbs 10oz and was 24 3/4in long, putting her at the 88th percentile for weight, 96th percentile for height and 77th percentile for head circumference. She's a big girl!

She started smiling, laughing, and playing in the last couple of weeks and it's great. Chloe and Auron absolutely love her and are always showering her with love and affection. Chloe is an especially proud big sister. She has surprised me with the amount of maturity she has when dealing with Celeste. She will hold her and rock her. She even made her stop crying and go to sleep once. I was amazed.

Since Celeste was born, time has flown by. Before I knew it, the holidays were upon us and I just wasn't ready! It all ended up being fine and we had a joyous holiday season with family. The kids really enjoyed Christmas.

A new year began and so did a new school term. I got back to two classes since dropping down to one per term and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed already. I only have three terms to go before I graduate and luckily the classes are all electives and are subjects that are interesting to me. This term I am taking two nutrition classes, which I love, so I'm excited about learning more.

I'll be posting my birth story in my next post.
