Our Baby Girl is here!!!

Hello everyone! The kiddo finally arrived today!

Details:
450pm
25 July 2009
5 lb
7 oz
19" long

Her name is Meghana Eleanor
and she's a Leo :)

Baby #2 Update

Unless baby girl actually decides to come on her own... I will be induced on Tuesday and most likely have baby #2 on Wednesday sometime...

Baby is looking good, and everything is going well, just too cozy, so she doesn't want to leave!

Will update once we can!!!

Hurry up will you!!!

Here we are approaching what I hope is the last week, I hope next week this time the kiddo arrives. I remember passing the due date last time, and every day (for 9 days) I was feeling like it was an eternity. I couldn't wait to meet the lil one and it drove me nuts that she was taking her own time...

I'm patient up til the due date, but after that I just can't wait!

All in all I'm ready. Kinda sorta have a name...

We're just ready. Get here lil one, get here soon!

Background change in honor of impending arrival!

In honor of the impending arrival of baby #2 (oooh still no concrete-100%-for sure name)
I changed the background. This is kinda the color scheme... we'll be roomies, since I'll need to be close. The room is a chocolate color and her bedding and her carseat are all a blue-green and chocolate.. it's so cute and yummy looking. Mom got me the cutest cover for the boppy and it's cupcakes on one side and the other side has chocolate sprinkles... Totally cute and delicious looking!

I can't wait to meet her, and I know Lil S is excited about becoming a big sister! It's all she can talk about and tell complete strangers...

Will update as I can or D or my sis RMR will update.

Any day now! :)

30th birthday presents!

Thank you honey (Dennis) for my sweet birthday roses! They are gorgeous! Lil S approves of the beautiful color as do I!

30 is going to be great (tomorrow)! :)


Edit :

Here's a picture of what my family here in Texas did for me :


(sorry it's all backwards.. but I took the pic on iphoto... but you get the idea!)


They made me a wonderful scrapbook of my 30 years! It's such a wonderful surprise! Thank you! I love it!

Hey Shirley...

My lovely husband has given me a nickname... Shirley... and honestly that's about how I feel right now at week 33 of the pregnancy.. (like that huge sheep!) (Plus we LOVE watching this show)

hehe... But he says it with a smile in his eyes, so I always forgive him!

Texas update!

Oooooh! It's been a good week and a half back in the "promised land" of Texas! We've been having a great time visiting with friends and family!

Saw D's Vette, and entered it into a car show and won a trophy! Lil S was so proud! (pictures to come soon!)

We've missed everyone so much this last year! 1 more year to go til we move back!! :)

We're back!!! :)

We got back to the US safe and sound...

Happy to be back and see family and friends!

Trying to get over the jet lag... I'm sure it will take me longer than Lil S!

All is well with baby #2, she's been kicking constantly with approval of all meals (i.e. all of Ammuma's(grandma's) home-cooking!!)

DH - I love you!

Internet,

Have I told you lately (publically) how much I love my dear Husband? (also love this picture of him looking like he's all mad or something, but he looks so mysterious)

I love you Dennis!

Love,
Me :)

Now I'm waiting for the comments where ppl are *gagging*, but hey.. I'm pregnant and hormonal, and I can post whatever the heck I want to!!!

random but important update!

I will be in Texas mid-may! Soooo excited! That is the big news!!!

Ready to be see friends and family and just relax a bit before baby #2 joins la familia...

So no names yet, and not sharing the list! :)

Lil S is no help as her contributions are Sleeping Beauty or Ariel... not the names we're thinking of... but she's so sweet to contribute.

Just going to get busy and slowly start packing!

Hope everyone who celebrates has a Happy Easter and otherwise have a good long weekend (well at least it is here in Oz)!

What I got in my email today!

I'll let him live another day! :)

x-file

I wish I could say this is how I met Dennis. Alas, it is NOT, but I can't imagine why this is news, other than the fact that time, money, energy was wasted. Amazing what comes up in the news nowadays.

Angel in Queens

Why can't we all be like him? I love reading news like this.

Happy Birthday to Debbie up in NY!

Also Happy Friday the 13th!

Idea Emergency

If you're a parent you can tell by the title of this post that I get to watch Imagination Movers on Playhouse Disney with the kiddo...


This is a great idea. Feel good story, and I really hope something the workers suggested really works. They need everyone there to make the whole place work... hopefully Obama will take a lesson from this CEO and make it apply to the whole country.

Great ideas start in the unlikeliest of places.

Baby is a...

face - profile shot

(sorry.. couldn't figure out the scanner, so I just took pics with the Photobooth application on my mac.. they pics are turned around... )

Baby (with about 75% certainty according to the sonographer) is a girl!

Lil S is over the moon as are we. Sisters!

D will be surrounded by women! He loves that!

Bleck and EWWWWW!

Ick, I don't think I could ever stomach this!

Will post later regarding gender of baby #2!

Catch-up post

Wow, so much has happened since I last posted... but I've been kept too busy to really have a second to blog about it...

Lil S started school. Here it's called 3 year old kindy, and she absolutely loves it! See more on her blog! Also because she has to get up earlier, she ends up having to go back to having a nap time (otherwise she is SUPER grouchy the rest of the day.. did I say how much I love having naptime back????I LOVE IT!)

On the baby front, in about week 15 I felt a few of baby #2's movements.. not major ones... just every once in a while.. but sleep is out the window..I can't get comfortable.. so I end up napping during Lil S's nap time a lot now!

I've been tutoring a couple sweet girls here. They are really a lot of fun to work with and I love it... I know I'm a good teacher, I just hate the bureaucratic stuff!

We're gearing up to go on our vacation to Tasmania and Melbourne soon. We are excited!

Also please keep the people affected in Melbourne by the fires in your thoughts or your prayers... the whole situation is so horrifying and so sad!

That's really about all for now, and I can't wait to watch my copy of SD Millionaire! I just need to get a day or evening and just watch it! Can't wait!
