Our new home

As most of you know, Aldo and I put our house on the market in July.  It has been quite the roller coaster but we are so excited to have moved into our new house this weekend.  Here are a few pictures.  Please keep in mind that we have a lot more to do but many of you have asked for pictures so here you go. Not pictured is our game room, guest room and study because they are still a huge mess:)  We were able to get a lot done in one weekend thanks to the help of my mom.  We can't wait to have everyone over!

 

The little man!  Here are some 4 month pictures :)

Home!

Our sweet friend Mallory took these sweet shots of our new family. We are home now. Trying to figure things out. We sadly had to say bye to Gramma Jo and Auntie Ang (they were such a help with Julianna) but can't wait for Roses and Papa Ken to get here and help on Monday. I'm hoping we will all get a little rest tonight. We NEED it!

Good to go for tomorrow

I just left the doctor's office and we are all set to be induced tomorrow. They are not going to make me come in tonight, thankfully. Tonight is our last night as a family of three :) Please pray that our induction goes well tomorrow. We are so excited to meet our little man. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

37 Week Doctors Appt

I had my 37 week doctor's appointment yesterday and everything was great. My blood pressure was good and his heart rate was great. My doctor would still like to induce next Tuesday as he thinks it's the best thing for the both of us. We will decide on Monday if I have to go in Monday night to start the process or if I get to wait until Tuesday morning. We are so excited but have a lot to do before then. Grandma Jo and Auntie Ang are coming in on Sunday to help out, we can't wait for them to get here!

We had a rough week this past week as I was sent to the ER on Wednesday because my doctor was concerned I had a blood clot that had traveled to my lungs. I was having horrible chest pains and trouble breathing. After a cat scan, EKG and lots of blood work they thankfully did not find a clot. When I got home, I started having all the symptoms of the flu so my doctor said that's where all chest pains were coming from. I luckily got over it in 24 hours but Aldo wasn't so lucky and got it even worst the next day. I have never seen him so sick. We are happy and healthy again and getting so excited for next Tuesday! I can't believe we only have a week left!

Julianna 16-21 Months

So with all this talk about pregnancy I feel like Julianna has been left out of the blog. Julianna is now 21 months old and in the 100 percentile for her height. Hopefully she will be athletic and put that height to good use :) She loves to jibber jabber, she knows lots of words, play outside, say her animal sounds, play mommy with her babies and be Miss Independent. She thinks she can do almost anything on her own. She obviously doesn't know how her life is going to get flipped upside down in two weeks but she loves to kiss my belly and say baby. She might be begging for him to get back in my belly after a few weeks :)

When I started working again I stopped posting as often. I can't believe my last picture update was Halloween. I added two photo albums to our blog. Here are a few of my favorites

Mallory took pictures for us last November. We just love her and are so appreciative that she is so patient with Julianna. Here are a few, more are in the photo album on the right.

We had LOTS of snow days this year. We actually had 5 official school days off because of the snow. Julianna isn't really a fan. She didn't like the snow getting on her boots.



















Enjoying lunch out with mommy and daddy
















Fun at the park




















My mom and I took her to the American Girl store over spring break to get her collection started. My mom and grandmother started these for me when I was little so it was a very special day taking my daughter to pick hers out.









Julianna absolutely loves being outside. She really enjoys her slide, kicking the soccer ball, and climbing on anything she can.
