11 months already? Seriously...when did that happen?

My little girl turned 11 months old yesterday. I still can't believe it has been almost a year since I spent agonizing days in the hospital trying to have her. Now it is all a distant memory and I get to wonder what will be with the upcoming labor and delivery!!! Katie really is growing up. Just this week she started to stand by herself. I was sitting in the living room with her while she played quietly and I happened to look up and see her standing, not holding on to anything! I couldn't believe it. She has done it several times since but hasn't tried to take any steps. I'm pretty sure we'll have a walker in no time. I have mixed feelings. I love to see her milestones, I love to see her grow and discover new things, but I really miss the little baby!! She now tries to pry herself out of your arms if she doesn't want to be held, how sad.

We don't have major plans for her birthday but we'll do a little bit of something. Just family with a nice meal and cake and ice cream. Should be a good time and Kate will get to see many of her favorite people.

As for me, i've decided to try the stay at home mom thing for a while. After Nathan comes i'll be officially unemployed. I'm really not sure how I feel about that. Excited that i'll be able to raise my kids but scared of always being at home. I suppose it isn't a permanent thing and I can always go back to work if it isn't working out for me. I am feeling okay but have had a mild headache for a few days now. The pregnancy is going well and I continue to go to my bi-weekly appointments only to hear "yup, you're still pregnant, see you next time".

Matt starts his cardiac rehab tomorrow. I'm glad they are finally getting him going with this. I think it will be good for him to get out of the house and get some exercise. I know he isn't a sit on the couch type of guy so activity will be good for him!!! He continues to do better and better everyday so we are very thankful for that.
