Coming Soon


Well, we just got back from a doctor's appointment. I am excited to say that we are definitely on the way. I am dilated to 2 cm and 70% effaced. The doctor is thinking we'll go sometime between Nov. 30-Dec. 4. It was just the news we all needed to hear! We are excited and ready.

My dad will arrive on Tuesday to distract and take care of CJ during the big day. We are so disappointed that CJ will not be able to go into the hospital to meet his new little brother, but he will have fun with his Pop Pop. Nana will arrive shortly after the baby gets here to help too. It looks like Grandma is going to be able to make it in town the week after that as well to make sure we have plenty of help and support. God bless them.

CJ has not seemed jealous at all so far. I'm sure he's in for a big shock when the day comes we actually bring the baby home though. Aunt CeCe sent us a box of pacifiers and CJ was just thrilled that the baby got a present! He's just such a sweet natured kid. Here's a pic of him trying on his Halloween costume from when he was 1. It still fits. That child is so skinny. Anyway, he liked wearing it like that and refused to take it off all afternoon. LOL!

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...

Home Again

Well, we made it back to Philly! Its been a crazy few weeks though. CJ came back with an ear infection and brocholitis. Then he and Mama ended up with the flu on top of that. Poor Casey had to take care of both of us. I started classes the Monday we got back and so we're back into the swing of a semester. Thank goodness I'm almost done- only one more semester after this one. We had a great time in Kansas City visiting with all of our friends aned family. CJ misses everyone and loves to look through the photo album and point out his family. He also misses his friends Ian and Eli who he absolutely loved to tag after when we visited The Menzies- Spangie, Drew, Sierra, Ian, and Eli. He had a great Christmas full of suprises and travels. He is definitely one spoiled little boy, but we don't mind. Thank you all so much. His favorite thing seems to be his quad bike that his Aunt Dawn and Uncle Eric gave him. He loves zipping around our living room with it. We are still waiting to ...

Update

No major news to update. We're all on pins and needles waiting for the baby to arrive. At this point, it looks like we will definitely have a little one sometime next week if not earlier. Today is my last day of work. I'm definitely ready as I am starting to need more rest and am feeling some major shifting in the baby. Last night Pop Pop arrived though so it definitely brought some excitement to the house. CJ was showered with gifts from Aunt Cherie and Aunt CeCe, which he has been certain to remind us are the gifts for big brothers! He is getting excited at the thought that the baby is coming home soon. Of course, he's even more excited that Pop Pop is here for a long time and that his Nana and Grandma will be out soon too. We will try to keep you all updated when things start progressing. Just wish us luck!
