Almost Two Months Later...

Happy 4th Birthday my little banana!

Juliana had a very eventful birthday - in the morning we made chocolate chip pancakes with loads of whipped cream! Then once Jer got off of work, we took her to Red Robin for lunch and then we headed to Mapleside Farms in Brunswick for a fun fall day. We bought apples, let her play in the clubhouse, walked outside by the beautiful trees changing colors....i love it!! Then we came home to have her birthday party with family. She got tons of awesome clothes and toys and she was just beyond herself. I cant believe that she is 4 already....makes me kind of sad...

Jack, Jack, Jack....my little man is getting bigger everyday! He will be 14th months on the 6th and each day he is just doing new things that he didn't do the day before. He is walking - at a rapid pace- all over the place...definitely keeping me busy!

Jer and I are doing well...our 2nd anniversary is in 2 weeks! Cant believe that either! Time is just flying by!! With school and a new baby girl coming in 10 weeks(!!!) there is not time to breathe, let along blog...just wanted to let everyone know we are alive and well!!

Happy Birthday Little Man....

My little guy turns one today!!!! Happy Birthday little Jack!!

Then:

Now:

Jack's New Hat

Jack got a new hat today :) Doesn't he look handsome!

Today was my second doctor's appointment with Dr. Samanich. Everything is going well, we heard the baby's heartbeat - it's between 155 and 160, which means girl....its a myth, but I am hoping that I am right! :) We also got the form to schedule our ultrasound....cant wait for that! Here is a belly picture! Getting huge!! Today I am at 13 weeks, which is the 1st milestone! :)

Who-hoo!!

Belly!

Okay folks, we're starting with the belly pics :) I am 9 weeks and 1 day prego...tired as all get out and getting HUGE!!

Today is my first appointment with Dr. Samanich - cant wait! You know what that means...OLIVE GARDEN BABY!!!

So Groggy...

I hate being sick. I have been 'under the weather' for about 3 days now and I am not seeing any improvement. Just one of life's things right?

My mom bought Jack this adorable outfit when she was home. I absolutely love it!! (Now Jack and Dominic can be twinkies!!)

ah sleep...

Accomplished!

My goal was to see how long I could go without posting a new blog on here...I see I was quite successful! (Just kidding, it appears that I am just quite lazy..or busy, one of the two.)

Well, ALOT has happened in over the past month.

Jer has 9 days worth of paid vacation the last week of April. We LOVED having him home for the week. We took the kids to the zoo (twice), to the Cleveland Children's Museum and made multiple trips to Target - we love that place! It was great bonding time with daddy and he got to see what we did during the day while he was at work.

The day Jer went back to work, we found out that we are PREGNANT! Baby J #3 is due around January 2nd and I use the term "due" very loosely. Being that Juliana was 5 days early and Jack was 12 days early, we might end up with a Christmas baby! We are excited about this surprise and I am pretty sure that it will be our final surprise..

My mom was in town for Mother's Day (and my birthday :)) which was a nice thing. We miss my mom and anytime we get to see her, we really soak it up! We took the kids to the zoo (Juliana, Jack, Dominic & Ella), we did a little shopping, we cooked out on the grill and we even got an oil change for my car! It was a fun time and I always hate to see her go...stupid Texas.

I'm Dreaming of a White Easter?!?!?!

What a weekend! I am completely shocked at how much snow we got in the past 4 days!! Easter was a very white one...in which it should be but instead of cold yucky snow maybe we could have gotten fluffy, sticky marshmallow.... Less than a week ago, Juliana was wearing this:

So Jack is now sitting all by himself!! I cant believe how big he is getting - he is already 7 months old! I gave him a little bit of table food yesterday, he had real applesauce, a little bit of cheesecake and some sweet potatoes. He is only taking 3 bottles a day now (one when he gets up, one before nap time and one before bed), the rest of the time, he is eating food. Maybe that explains why he is so big!! These were Juliana's pj's when she was about 15months....these fit Jack now.

gotta love it...
