I am going to try to stay on top of this thing. I am hoping to be able to post every other day...fingers crossed.
Here is what has been happening:
September 2010: moved from Idaho back to our home in WC. This was what was needed for our little family.
January 2011: John started work at JDC of Wyandotte Co in KC. Virginia turned 3!
Feburay 2011: I noticed Virginia's breathing was becoming labored. It was getting worst daily. Made an appt for an ENT for May 20 something.
March 2011 ENT has a cancellation and is able to get V in on April 5th!!
My little baby is about to turn one on the 31st!!!
I started a local etsy team that has really grown. It is great to get to know all the local etsians out there.
My girls absolutely love each other. I love to see them running around and holding hands. Too cute!

some cool facts I found
I decided to look up Joplin on Wikipedia and couldn't believe what I found:
Joplin is mentioned in the script of The Music Man and in the lyrics of the song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66".
In the 1962 film "Lonely Are the Brave" starring Walter Matthau and Kirk Douglas, Joplin is the starting point for the truck (driven by Carroll O'Connor) that hits Jack Burns (Douglas) and his horse in the end.
In the early 1960s, Joplin was referenced in at least one episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show (flashback episode #6, November 6, 1961 that shows Rob and Laura falling in love while Rob was stationed at Camp Crowder near Neosho, Missouri)
The Beverly Hillbillies (indicated to be a big town to the Clampetts and friends).
Joplin was mentioned in the TV series "The Fugitive" and in the western movie "The Long Riders", a movie about the James/Younger gang.
Joplin was the hometown that actor Steve Guttenberg was hitchhiking to in the 1983 movie "The Day After" which attempted to demonstrate the results of a Nuclear War between the US and Russia.
Joplin was also referenced as a trucking distribution center in the 1980s movie The Secret of My Succe$s starring Michael J. Fox.
Joplin was the setting of a Saturday Night Live skit called "Joplin Alive! Podcast" (Season 31: Matt Dillon host).
Chic Young claimed the characters of his comic strip Blondie live in the suburbs of Joplin[17].

Went to the doctor today. Everything is going great so far. The doctor said that she was happy that I finally gained 4 pounds in a month. I couldn't believe it. I have been so scared that I would gain 60 like I did with Virginia. She also said that I might only gain 25 pounds. My goal is 35, but hey, 25 I will take!
We get to find out what we are having in two weeks! I am anxiously awaiting the 13 days to come.

cloth
I have started to go back to cloth diapers. Virginia doesn't like it too much right now. They definitely feel different to her.
I was just tired of feeling sick every time we filled a trash bag full of dirty diapers. Plus, she needs to start potty training and I figured cloth will make it a bit easier for her. We will see.
My goal with the new baby is to do cloth 95% of the time. The downside to this is that it is so expensive to start out. I didn't start V in cloth until she was about 9 months old.
John has been able to feel the baby kicking. It is amazing to me that he and I can feel it so soon. With V it was 20 weeks to the day when I started feeling her kick and not for another month until John could. I started feeling this one at about 15 weeks and John at about 17. Weird!
So far the weight gain has been good. I gained 60 pounds with V and my goal for this one is 35. I think it is doable, it is just going to be hard work. So far I have only gained 11 pounds and I am at 18 weeks. I don't think that is too bad, considering.
