Catching Up

So sorry for the delay in posts. I just looked back at the blog and realize its been almost two months since I last updated it. Yikes!!! Needless to say, life has just been plain busy.

I apologize in advance for the "quality" of these photos as they are all from my phone. Seems the phone is all we have accessible (Mom can vouch for this.)

Since our last post, AJ has started to attend "school" twice a week (once his baby brother arrives, he will be going at least three days a week).

I'm ready to go to school and see what this is all about! Let's GO!!

And as one can imagine, once a child enters the school system, otherwise known as the world's biggest Petrie dish, comes colds, coughs, runny noses, and lots of boogies. YUCK! Although, AJ's first time being sick in all of his (then) 18 months of life, was actually due to a rare reaction from a routine vaccine...the Measles. Yes...AJ had the Measles....sigh. AJ has since recovered from his little sickness and has moved on to the more common cold variety of viruses. Looks like everyone should start investing in Kleenex and Boogie Wipes ;)

Our first "hint" that he wasn't feeling well...poor kiddo.

   

For three days, I would only sleep on Mommy.

Holding hands with Mommy & Daddy for a little comfort.

We kept the little guy busy with some new activities. One of his favorites is coloring with crayons. Among his favorite colors to use are "yewo", "baloooo", and "pewpo".

Coloring is SERIOUS business....

Or not so much... ;)

While AJ continue to grow and amaze us with all he learns every day, I've been busy incubating and growing his little brother. Baby Robert went through a stretch where it seemed he was very anxious to meet us. As a result, I'm on bed rest (ha! Yeah right). Adam has been an AMAZING dad and husband, managing to take care of us all AND start is new position as an Inspector/Investigator in the city's Fire Marshal's office. ( We're really VERY proud of him. )Here's a picture of the "bump" at 34 weeks. (I think this looks a whole lot like AJ did at 40 weeks, 2 days before I have birth to the little man!). Either way, the doctor's goal is to make it through to at least 36 weeks (that's only three days away). They estimate that if I do carry him to our scheduled surgery date at 39 weeks, that he will be bigger than AJ. (Hard to believe since AJ was just two ounces shy of 9 lbs and he was two feet long!!!)

34 Weeks when this "lovely" picture was taken

Well, there's a little peek at how WE are doing. We're also making progress on the house. The upstairs bathroom will be complete tomorrow and Robert's room is awaiting an area rug. Pics of that soon to come :)
