A month in a post

Wow. How quickly time got away from me. I always had the intention of updating the blog but life happens sometimes. So here goes our last month.

First we celebrated Chases 12th birthday. She gets to pick the restaurant and we all meet for dinner, cake and presents. This year she chose a Vietnamese restaurant called Phuongs. Everyone had a great time and we all had some wonderful food. Chase of course had a great time.

Next we had our annual Halloween Party. It is typically a costume party and we fry fish and all hang out together while the kids play. This year I did not dress up. Maternity costumes are really just ugly...

After that came Halloween Day... Trick or treating madness in our neighborhood.

Then came November...

This month has been mostly full of dr. appointments. I went to the doctor and measured 8 weeks bigger than I am supposed to be. So test after test after test. All normal results. Today I had a sonogram so they could measure fluid and size. All perfect. They decided we are just going to have a big baby boy. Here is a pic. of his face.

Aside from that we have been dealing with a virus running through our house. So far Isa and Mando have been sick. We are just waiting to see who is next.

Happy Thanksgiving

Botanic Gardens

Today I took the girls to the Botanic Gardens. We were driving by and decided to go. The pictures did not turn out too bad considering they were taken with my phone. Next time I will be prepared!

We had a nice time just being out walking together.

It's A Boy

Today we found out we are going to be having a boy. So happy!

Those circles are his legs

Our New Addition

We got our first pictures of the new addition to our family today.

We were told that the baby is perfect. Such wonderful news.

Through the years

Every summer we take a picture of all the kids together...

I'm sorry...

I know it has been a long time since I have posted and I just wanted to say sorry to those of you who read this blog consistantly.

At the end of June Mando and I found out that we are expecting another baby. We are absolutely thrilled, but I am also now dealing with the most horrible morning sickness all day long. For a couple of weeks I was barely able to get out of bed, I could hardly eat anything and was exhausted all the time. I was able to go back to work a couple of days ago but only for very short shifts.

This summer has been a bit difficult for us here. With me not able to work a full schedule Mando had to get a second job. He is now working at a hardware store here in our neighborhood.

Hopefully things will be better very soon since I am now in my second month. Please keep us in your thoughts...

Animals

Isa and I went into the backyard today and checked up on the Chickens and the Rabbit.
