Not Sure?

I am still out here...can't believe I haven't blogged in so long. Then again I HAVE been busy with two adorable kiddos. The Christmas season has come and gone which makes me sad :0(. 2011 starts the year that I (and my hubby) turn the big 3-0! :0( sad face again, haha. I am excited about the next 'chapter' in my life.

Ella is now 7mths old and I seriously can't believe how quickly it's gone. She loves her puffs as well as cheerios! She is such a joy and we thank God for her.

Evan will be 3 in April...wow again! We have started potty training...yikes! Gotta say ever since birth the thing I've been dreading most is PT!!!! He's doing pretty good so far so hopefully we will have only 1 in diapers soon.

Dave & I were able to watch a memorial service for a Pastor in Seattle, WA the other night via the internet. Dave did an internship at The City Church (www.thecity.org) before we were married. There are still so many thoughts running through my head. The services was amazing and that word doesn't do it justice. The strength and character that man walked in is something we should all strive for. Every person spoke on his overwhelming generosity and his REAL love for people. His love for prayer and the things of the Lord. His whole LIFE was an example and I was blown away watching it. Makes me really examine my own life. Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in where you are right now...not thinking about the big picture. What is God's plan for my life? What's the next step in His plan for me? What am I excited/passionate about in life? ....................

She's here!

Wow it's been a long time sine I last blogged! Our little girl has finally arrived!!

Ella Ann was born 5/29/10 (on her due date!) at 5:31pm and weighed 6lbs. 13 ounces 19in. Our little lady was right on time even though I was very ready for to come out prior to her due date. We're so glad she's here and what a blessing she is!



Here is our family of 4!

Tick, Tock...

Well I can't believe the calendar has flipped to MAY!! WOW this year is going by fast. Had my 36 week Dr. appt. this morning and she said I was measuring 'really' small so ordered an ultrasound to check my fluid etc. I wasn't too concerned but was definitely excited to see baby girl! Everything is OK and baby is weighing approx. 5lbs. 13oz. 42%tile and the head is down so yay! I feel like I had a late ultra with Evan too and they said around the same weight so we will see how big she is! We were confirmed that it's a girl too! haha Dave and I have joked saying what would we do if this baby came out a boy lol! The last ultra we had was at 20weeks! I must confess that I am getting a tad nervous that this baby is not going to come early/on time! Evan was almost 2 weeks early. Soooooo the weather in CT has been ridiculously HOT and my ankles (of lack there of) are not liking the weather!! I never experienced this first time around and I am NOT A FAN! Have been trying to keep my feet up and tried icing them the other night. Oh my!!

The only other update I would give is that we need to transition Evan to a bed...anyone have any words of wisdom/advice?!?! NOT looking forward to this at all that's for sure. All for now...

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Today is Evan's 2nd b'day and I can't believe it!! He's such a sweet boy and I love him OH so much! Enjoy the pics!


Day he was born! 4/20/2008 5:38am
6lbs. 3oz 18 ½ in long

First birthday party with me :0)!!

Blurry :0( but still OK!!

34 Weeks and Counting...

Well today marks 34 weeks in pregnancy #2! I now go to the Dr. every 2 weeks, joy! I have been feeling...pretty good. I have been super blessed by good pregnancies both times. I DO recognize them as a blessing because I know too many people who have had medical issues and sickness. In the past couple weeks I have definitely noticed a change in me being TIRED. Also quite soar as my body is getting ready for delivery. So soar that the other night I got up off the couch after watching 'my shows' and had a VERY hard time walking up the stairs to bed. Dave said 'I don't remember you being like this with Evan' and I kindly answered 'that's because I WASN'T!!' Hahaha! It's interesting the things that are different second time around. So with all that said...

I had Evan at 38 1/2 weeks (11 days early) and was in labor for 4 1/2 hours (from water breaking to delivery) Care to take a guess on the date she will arrive?!?!

Just like that??!!

So Saturday night Evan and I did our bedtime routine as usual and he put his bobo(yes, pacifier! Which he ONLY gets at bedtime) in his mouth and then handed it back to me saying his version of ‘thank you’. Strange I thought…Sunday nap time he did the SAME thing. It’s so funny how little ones pick up on the things that we say a lot…apparently I say ‘thank you’ quite a bit…when he hands me a toy or something like that. Funny thing is that he uses the term correctly too! Anyway, the thought came to me ‘could weaning him off his bobo be that easy?’ Lol I guess so!!!! I had planned on taking it away after he turned 2…which by the way is a week away! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!? So he now goes to sleep without his bobo. My boy is growing up :0)!! Wondering how the transition to a bed will be…oh dear…

A little of this and a little of that...

I've thought of SO many things that I could blog about lately and just haven't. Who knows why? SO many thoughts have been going through my head lately...especially as my due date is creeping up on me! 33 weeks TOMORROW. Seriously I feel like this pregnancy has gone by SOOOOO much faster this time around. For those who have 2 (or more) why do you think that is? You aren't JUST focused on the pregnancy cause you're chasing another little one around?? Hummmmm that's one of the reasons I think. I know every delivery is different but part of me...RIGHT NOW...is not really nervous about the labor and delivery but more nervous about the adjusting to having 2 kiddos. I love my boy so darn much and I wonder how he will react and respond to everything?? Like I said...lots of questions!

I was totally BLESSED by a small group of ladies who threw me a little girlie shower this week :0)! Got some really cute girl things! It's so different going through all the pink stuff, lol! I was definitely surprised and will have to post pics when I get them.

So I was thinking about starting a...oh what's it called...survey? contest? For people to guess when Baby Girl will be born, ahaha! Would you participate?! Maybe I'll give away a gift card or something hahaha!!

Enjoy your weekend!
