New Updates


I realized I haven't blogged anything recently...and I've actually done really poorly on blogging this year!! I was looking back at my posts from 2008 to see where I was as far as progress in my pregnancy with Karys at the point I'm at now with Zane and saw that I had like 60-something posts in 2008 and like 15 this year!! Pathetic! :)

So to give a few new updates. I'm 37 weeks as of today and really getting ready to be done!! :) My stomach sticks out way farther than I did with Karys and I have contractions more often than I remember having with her. Needless to say, it makes me a little uncomfortable!! Plus there are so many friends at church having their babies now that it makes me anxious for my turn! :) Last week at my 36-week checkup I was already at 1 cm. and 60% effaced. Looking back at my posts in 2008, I'm doing better than I was then! I go back to the doctor tomorrow so I'm hoping to have made more progress. It would be so wonderful if he came a little early!! My doctor was thinking it was possible for him to come a couple of weeks early!! I guess we'll find out...I'm trying not to get my hopes up to much. :)

Second update is on Karys's speech. Things just keep getting better and better. She improves on words all the time and has been doing a great job lately at putting words together. Her next appointment is Tuesday and I'm excited to tell her therapist how well she's been doing and get more ideas and suggestions for ways to help her. :)

The picture at the top of the post is Karys wearing all her pretty dress-up stuff given to her by her friend, Stephanie. Such a pretty little princess! :)

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
