Posts: 1,277Hi everyone! I've been pretty scarce from Teddy Talk for the past few months and I've really missed everyone. I see there are lots of new members too. I look forward to "meeting" you all. 
My fiancee and I just bought a new home. So, I've been pretty busy with all the packing and unpacking and trying to get settled in. I am so happy we found this house. It's an older home built in the 1920's and I just love it! There is so much more room than our last place. I even get a studio in the basement! It needs some remodeling down there but at least I have it to look forward to. Our first weekend at the new house, instead of unpacking 
, we built a small fish pond in the back yard. I just love to sit out there and watch the fishies! And the birds too. We have so many birds coming in our yard. We had a robin's nest in our tree and just a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of watching the babies hop around in the yard trying to fly.
There hasn't been a lot of time for bears lately and I think that's going to become a trend. I recently found out I was expecting my second child. I'm only about 6 weeks along so there's still several months to find some bear time! 
My 3-year old daughter is so excited about becoming a big sister. She's such a doll; I know she'll be a wonderful little helper when the baby arrives.
So anyway, it's nice to be back in your company!
Hugs,
Sandi

Posts: 1,277Thank you all so much!
Well, my daughter says she wants a little sister. Daddy would like to have a boy since we already have a girl, and I don't have a preference. Either will be wonderful, although I did joke with Daniel that I hope it's a girl so the three of us could gang up against him. I feel great, no morning sickness. Hopefully it stays that way! I am hoping that I don't gain as much weight this time around. I gained almost 50 lbs. the first time. :redface:
LutonWell you sound very content Sandi and many congratulations on your pregnancy!! You lucky thing !!!!
I know the bears will always be waiting to be made so you can afford to take a little time off for yourself !!

Glad you're back, and with such great news--a new nest and a new chick!
Don't worry--your 3-year-old will keep you from gaining too much!
I gained 70 lbs with the first one, but I was a stick then, with no toddler to chase.
