Oh Christmas Tree....

Well the holiday's are fully among us and only 13 days until Christmas! I am very excited for the holiday this year as we will finally be able to enjoy a Christmas at HOME and back in Maryland. Quick update while I am on here....

1. Connor is officially in a toddler bed. We have tried numerous times to transition him because of his crazy climbing abilities but it just wouldn't work. So I seeked the assitance of Mr. Google on what to do. They suggested purchasing a toddler bed and leave the crib still in the room for a while to remind him that indeed it is his room. WHOOO! It worked. He has been sleeping like a big boy for over a week now. Plus he safely climbs from bed to play with toys while mommy gets a few extra Zzzz's!

2. Connor had his first bad bout of illness. Not just a cold but a fever reaching 103.1 and 3 sleepless nights. He is finally feeling better but still has a slight cough and occasional mild fever. High hopes he will be all better by the time Christmas rolls around!

3. Kyle is still in Viriginia for school. He is coming to visit this weekend for a few errands and to see Stink. Then heading back early Sunday. He will be back home just in time for the holidays though!

4. We got snow and I mean like 8 inches of snow in one day! Connor wasn't feeling well but I put him outside for a few seconds anyways and he gave me a look like THIS IS NOT FLORIDA! He loves to sit and watch it fall from INDOORS though.

5. Christmas cards will be coming out soon. Unfortunately this year we do not have a photo with ours. The printer was being contrary and we didn't have time to do a full family one. So instead you get a card with a family newsletter and a beautiful sticker on the back adorned by Connor (So this is why there may be more than one and it may be in an awkward place).

That is about it. We are trying to stay warm here on this end and I hope yall will do the same! Oh if you didn't notice we changed the blog address considering Connor is not actaully a baby any longer and he wasn't born on the 31st of July haha.

Take Care!


Yes our tree is only decorated about 50% of the way.... someone likes to play with ornaments!

"This should be interesting..."

After getting both kids to bed (before 8pm mind you!) I have finally had time to sit down and decompress. My morning started out with Emilee stirring in her crib around 4am. I quickly grabbed her and put her in our bed to fall back asleep as she normally does. She started stirring around again at 6am which was my cue to get out of bed and get dressed and ready to leave for her eye appointment. I woke up with that "this should be an interesting day" feeling and low and behold, it was. It was 6:55 when I realized that our wonderful sitter hadn't arrived yet. She is never late, even the one time she thought she was going to be late she was still five minutes early. So when she wasn't here at 7, my mind went crazy. Was she in an accident, had something happened with her family... the list went on with the craziness of Philly news. I sent a text at 7:05 and nothing. I finally switched from worried mom mode to get-in-the-damn-car mode to make the appointment on time. (I...

I am One Month!

Wow how time really flies! Things were so hectic at the end of the pregnancy that I realized I never kept you updated. Birth Story: Well, long story short on 22 July at 10am my water broke. I called L & D and they said to come on in to get monitored and to check the fluid levels etc. Kyle and I thought maybe we weren't really going to be admitted (you know maybe I had had an accident haha). We decided to do the trip to the hospital as a trial run. We got what was left of our bags packed, loaded up the car and stopped at Wendy's for some Chicken Nuggets. (I wanted to make sure I ate something in case I was really in labor and wouldn't get food for a while (Smart thinking on our part!).) So we arrive, they do some awesome monitoring and evaluation and sure enough there was a water leak! They said I would have 24 hours to deliver otherwise they would have to do a c-section. Well for those of you who are reading this and know me, I was scared of getting a c-section (as...

Weeks 23 and 24

Once again things got pretty busy and I did not update for week 23. This is mainly because my sister, brother in-law and nephew came for a visit! It was a great week full of food, Blue Angel Practice Show, Exploreum, putt putt golfing, some shopping and so much more! It was a great opportunity for Kyle and me to be tourists in the town we live in. All in all it was awesome to spend time with the family and show them around. 23 weeks was rather uneventful in terms of Connor. We did have a doctors appointment last Monday and the doctor wrote me a prescription for Nexium for the AWFUL acid reflux that I was having. Now I can enjoy food again without the terrible burning sensations. He also told us that the 20 week ultrasound showed a nice healthy baby with "no gross abnormalities". I could finally sigh in relief knowing that the ultrasound came back great. Now to actually see Connor and check for all 10 fingers and toes! Otherwise he is kicking and hitting up a storm. Kyle was...
