Again, TOO LONG!

I cannot believe that I have not posted since October, wait, yes I can! Being a Mom of two little ones is time consuming! Will post more when I have time! At least I have taken the time to update a little! Woo hoo!

Too Long...

Wow! It has been exactly 3 months to the day since I have posted anything! So, with that said, I have updated this blog, it's name and the look! The Summer was great, business for Brian was awesome! I covered a lot of hours over the Summer, too!

Skylar is in her second month of Kindergarten and LOVES it! She is learning SO much and getting so big!

Trystan, at 4 months is already over 20 pounds! I will continue to update and add some photos in the next few weeks!

I am a Mommy/Wife trying to do everything and forget nothing...

As I was trying to multitask this morning, gathering laundry in a basket to wash, I put my brand new iPhone 4G on top of the pile of clothes to carry down the stairs. When I got downstairs, I piled the baby's clothes and Skylar's clothes on top (forgetting that my iPhone was there). Well, needless to say, I pushed all of the clothes into the washer (with my iPhone). A half hour later I realized the loud thumping noise in the washer was my phone! Yes, I will admit, I cried... as I pondered the fact that I love playing my friends in "Words with Friends," checking FB, taking/looking at photos since the baby was born (and remembering that I have not backed up anything), and most importantly keeping track of work days/hours that I am scheduled. Sad to admit, I have realized that my phone is a huge part of my life...

Trystan James...

A little late, but better late than never! Our little man "Trystan James" was induced a week early and born on May 27, 2011! He was a healthy 8 pounds, 15 ounces (20.5 inches)... and no, I cannot believe I delivered a 9 pound baby!! I have been VERY busy with him and Skylar and will try very hard to get some pictures up as soon as possible!

36 weeks and counting!

Still hanging in there! I am more ready to go than I would have ever imagined! Skylar has asked if my belly will stay like this forever... she also says that my belly button looks like the end of a hot dog! LOL! I am off the medication now, contractions are still occurring, but much less painful. Non-stress tests have been good!

Updated belly shot...

I have now reached the 30 week mark. Most (including myself) are beginning to wonder how it will be possible for me to make it another 10 weeks. We will see! This time Skylar felt that she should be in the picture too!

Belly Update

Now a little over 26 weeks, everything seems to be going well. As you can see, in just 4 weeks I have grown quite a bit and every day/night is getting a little more uncomfortable! At the last Uconn ultrasound, this baby boy was measuring 9 days ahead. I think he will be a bit bigger than Skylar was. I will be visiting the OB on Friday and will discuss this with him. Skylar is just getting a little more impatient every day, as I know this must be difficult for a four year old to understand. She does know he is arriving in June and proceeds to tell everyone!!

Time is flying!

I will already be 22 weeks tomorrow. I am more than half way there! Just thought I would include a picture of the progression (most recent photo taken today).

January 12, 2011 - Snow Storm

Captured some great shots the day of the 24 inch snow storm! We walked outside and it was an amazing winter wonderland! We are ready for some of this snow to go away at this point. Skylar keeps saying "Mommy, I want Summer to be here!" Me too Skylar, me too! The snow was fun the first few times...

Brrrr... it's COLD!!!

Today we will be staying in, not because of a snow storm, but because of record cold temperatures! It is a bone chilling -6 degrees in Watertown this morning! The weather forecasters say that exposed flesh will have frost bite in less than ten minutes. We called for oil about 4 weeks ago, and the furnace kicked off again last night... we need more oil! So, for now, until oil is delivered today, the temps inside are dropping as we speak! So, with that said, I am climbing (with my little girl) back into bed with the covers up to my neck!! Oh yeah, two fire places going, too!

A belly shot...

Well, some have been asking for it, and here it is... a belly shot. This was taken at 18 weeks and 4 days.

Christmas Eve

Just a couple Christmas Eve shots of the pretty girl in her beautiful Christmas dress! Skylar wanted a side ponytail, so I dressed it up with some braids. Little late on the Xmas pics, but better late than never!
