Update

Well, I haven't updated in a long time on this blog as I've been waiting to upload a pic. I've been relocated to another office after we found black mold in mine. Needless to say, I may not be getting in there anytime soon.

Things here are completely and totally hectic and good. I think all of you know by now we are about 85% sure we are having a boy. We are all very excited. CJ and Casey might lock horns about the name though as they are definitely divided between our top two names.

Casey is doing well in school, gearing up for mid-terms, and trying to get a head start on papers in the event that I go early. CJ is doing great in preschool and music school. He's been a little annoyed that one of his old music teachers didn't come back this year. Other than that, he's doing great. It's certainly been a learning and trusting process for me especially with the introduction of foods I have no control over. We met with his preschool teachers to discuss his allergies and I felt pretty good about the meeting. A week later he was eating cookies that someone's mother brought in as a surprise. The teacher's looked at the ingredients package and things seemed to be okay, but then they decided to take them away just in case. It's just such a hard process since he doesn't quiet understand why yet. CJ and I made cupcakes though that they will freeze and give him when necessary. At least he'll have something fun to eat.

We have been getting the house ready and pulling out clothes, burp cloths, sheets, baby toys, etc. For those of you who have been asking, we finally did register at Target and Babies R Us. I didn't realize that I should do that since this is our second baby. At the last sonogram everything looked great. The baby was weighing in at 3lbs 2oz.

I am reaching the point where I am getting tired and am just ready to welcome this little guy to the world. Not too much longer though.

Hello from Philly

Hello and Happy Holidays from the City of Brotherly Love! Its almost New Year's resolution time and one of mine is to maintain a blog for all our of friends and family who don't get to see our little guy on a daily basis (and for those of you that do too). CJ is ready for Christmas- although Santa is not his favorite as you can see. I'm not sure who is worse at peeking at packages though, CJ or Casey. We were too excited to wait so we've had a Christmas tree up since the weekend after Thanksgiving. We kept the unbreakable ornaments on the lower part of the tree, which has been good since he likes to take them off and throw them to his daddy. He's so smart and observant. I'm just amazed by him. He loves to learn and seems (to me) to be very mechanically minded since he can unscrew or take apart anything you put in front of him. He has an infectious grin and a laugh that reminds you what living is about. He likes to talk all time and he LOVES to dance. He's ju...

Halloween Update

What a great Halloween! CJ had a wonderful time trick or treating and visiting with Aunt Cece and Uncle Nick. The pictures above show the three day fun. Thursday we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and get some apples. CJ had a great time playing on all the fun wooden equipment. Trick or treating was definitely quiet here in Newark. As you can see from the photo CJ was a fireman and Daddy was a fire truck. It was quite funny. There were not that many kids trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. It really made me sad to see such an awesome community event begin to disappear. Maybe it's just where we are though. Anyway, CJ still had fun and got lots of candy because people were trying hard to give it away. He walked over to Uncle Sami and Aunt Vicky's house and received extra special treats that he was very proud of and excited to eat. The evening was gloomy and wet, which was just spooky enough to be fun. The rest of the weekend went great too. CJ...

Getting Ready for Baby

What a difference getting ready for a second baby is compared to the first. With CJ, we had things bought, washed, and put away 3-4 months before he was set to arrive. We had the nursery together and way too many things we would find out we really didn't need. This time around we're in week 37 and we just realized that I really could deliver any day now so we probably should at least pull out the car seat. We're not going with a crib as we tend to be co-sleepers plus there is not a lot of room in our bedroom. We got out the pack-n-play and added the bassinet function. It might get more use than with CJ who always slept with us just due to the fact that I expect CJ will want to climb into the bed too (at least at first). We have his old crib mattress ready to lay down on our floor in a ploy to keep him involved in a way that avoids 4 bodies in the bed. We had a few outfits for the baby that we bought along the way, but had not yet gone through CJ's old clothes. We finall...
