Welcome To Our World

Life has been a little crazy and hectic the past two months, but things are definitely looking up.  As many of you know, I’m in nursing school.  The past two months I’ve worked hard to get through the hardest classes in school, and can I just say that I was successful.  My hard work paid off and I couldn’t be happier!  I can’t say the rest of my time in school with be smooth sailing, but the worst is over.  August 28th can’t get here soon enough.

I had to take a really big step today…..well, let me back up a little.  Friday I saw my new family doctor, and had a consultation about my high cholesterol and some other things in my history and family history.  He advised me to go to Weight Watchers because it forces you to be accountable and you get a great support system.  At first I was totally against the idea, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.  Today was my first meeting, and I actually enjoyed it.  I really the accountability factor makes it work.  So, wish me luck!  I know it’s something I need to do though so I can prevent health problems down the road.

Aiden is doing great and growing too fast and learning so much everyday!  This kid amazes me.  The other night we were leaving my parents’ house.  It was nighttime, and we always look at the sky at night and talk about the moon.  Aiden noticed the moon right away and he started talking.  It wasn’t long till I realized that he was pointing up to the moon and saying, “A ball! “.  Then he brought his little hands down and did sign language for ball.  What a smartie!  I wanted to gobble him up.  It was so cute….He’s now 20 months old, 25.8 pounds and 33 inches tall.  What a big, strong boy!

Ava is growing way too fast!  She’s on the verge of wearing 3/6 month clothing, and I don’t think I’m ready for that yet.  At her last doctor’s appointment she was 11 pounds 13 ounces and 22 inches long.  The doctor says she may be a short one.  How cute would that  be?  I’m still not sure it’s likely though since Jeff and I are both tall…..She’s at the stage now where she coos and talks to us.  We have the best conversations.  She’s so serious about whatever she’s saying.  The girl can smile though!  She has such a big, pretty smile.  Ahhh, it melts my heart.

I love being a mommy to these two so much!  They light up my whole day   Now I leave you with some pictures…..
