Stay tuned...


She is only 1 day old in this picture!

Miss Eleanore Marie's 1st Birthday is on Thursday!!! Stay tuned for pictures and a description of her big day!


I can't believe my baby is almost one...and that 5 months from now I'll have another baby. Am I crazy?!?!


PS I didn't even see that people were leaving comments...my blogger isn't emailing me when I get them, so I apologize for never responding. I'll be more diligent next time!

Grammar lesson for the day: Did you know that 'so' is a coordinating conjunction? And you shouldn't use it that often? I guess I should learn from my own lesson!

16 Weeks down 24 to go

Had my 16th week appointment today. I've lost 2 pounds since my first appointment, which means I've gained NOTHING...not one measly pound in 16 weeks of being pregnant. How is that freaking possible? Well I did get the flu and my stomach has been messing me up like no other. I'm not complaining that I haven't gained weight, but it is odd and disconcerting. I'm way more paranoid with this one being small or premature because the likelihood is higher when having kids so close together.

Hopefully I'm just being neurotic, yes? Yes.
Other than the weight scthuff, the baby is sounding great :) We will find out on February 9th if it is a boy or a girl. I'm getting mixed answers from everyone so the bets are pretty even at this point. I don't know what I want so don't ask. Jeff wants a boy, he thinks it is a boy, in fact...he knows it is a boy. We'll shall see in about 3 weeks.

Miss Eleanore is doing well, walking up a storm which is crazy and exciting to say the least! I can't wait to see her interact with a tiny baby and to just keep watching her grow into an amazing little girl! She warms everyone's heart, I couldn't have asked for a better child (minus the first 6-12 weeks of colic hell). She has a 12 month appointment soon, but I have no idea when...I should figure that out. Her birthday is in less than 3 weeks GAAAHHH.
If you want to buy her a gift we have a list on Target under my name. :)

That's all for now. I'm hungry and I guess I should indulge that feeling since I need to gain some weight...poo.

What we looked like last week


Sitting on the couch cuddling for hours with a sick baby and a sick mommy. Excuse my icky looking self.

Family

My parents moved back to our home state (Illinois) last summer. At first, I was okay because I thought I'd be moving up there this summer. But things never really work out like I hope.

Now Andrew (my little brother) will be joining them this year. Leaving me with no family within 500 miles of me.

Needless to say, I'm not feeling so cheery these days.


By the way...
Turns out Eleanore has a sinus and ear infection.

Flu Shot

I am never getting a flu shot again. Completely pointless, seeing as I got the flu this weekend. Yep, right in time for New Year's Eve-just fan-freaking-tastic!

Ellie still has a cold. She's pretty much the worse off I think.
I still have a cough and upset stomach...and my stomach is in constant turmoil due to said coughing plus pregnancy nonsense.
Jeff seems to be the most well of all of us. Lucky jerk.


Ugh.
