EXCiTEMENT!!

...moving, leanna, inspections, ultrasound, ..where to start!



Moving back in: we've been back in our lovely house for about a month now! We are totally enjoying the COOLNESS of the A/C. It was a disgusting 4 wks living in temp housing but we made it through. We've managed to unpack & organize MOST of the house. The only room that's left is the NURSERY! We unpacked & organized aLot this past weekend. We hope to COMPLETE the cLearing of her room this coming weekend. So, we can move her furniture in & start NESTING & decorating her room!!

Inspection frenzy: for the last 2wks we've been dealing with inspections. I passed all 3 of the inspections, I think all I have left is 1 more training. Soon, I will be a CERTiFiED iN HOME DAYCARE PROViDER!! In the meantime, I've been babysitting a 5yr old lil dude for a few hours this week. It's been a bit challenging since I've only been used to a TODDLER! His parents want me to incorporate a learning curriculum;ABCs, 123s..the whole hoopla! Once I become certified I can place him in a contract and all that technical stuff!! Wouldn't be so bad managing a daycare and since dealing with the lil dude, I think I want to care for only 4yr old & younger. We shall see..

BaBy Ailea: Her arrival is just around the corner! We hope to have her NURSERY set up real soon!! Over the weekend I managed to wash & fold all of Leanna's baby clothes. Still need to wash; socks, bibs, hats & whatever randoms I come across. We've purchased her very own outfits here & there. So she can maintain her OWN iDENTiTY;It's a must according to daddy!!
Over the weekend we FiNALLY did her 4d ultrasound session at Bakersfield. A LOVELY 2 hr drive, sonic for lunch, and almost 40minute wait in the office. It was all worth it, we had an HOUR session, 91 pix, dvd of the session, 4 color prints & 3 b&w prints!! It was awesome, she was napping the entire session, funny! But the technician managed to get some GREAT shots!!....she reminds me SOo MUCH of Newborn baby Leanna!! It's amazing! We SERiOUSLY can't wait to meet her. We still haven't talked about the birthing plan obviously natural like Leanna's birth. Epidural is definately an option depending on how i progress. Im also debating whether to iNDUCE or NOT!??!! [Due July 4th] My youngest sis flies into LAX June 28, and i most definately want to see her once she steps off the plane, well gets to the baggage claim, haha.
So, do i endure a 3hr drive out to LAX or enjoy a "LOVELY"car ride in the backseat with my 2 girls?!?! Ughhh...OH, my last prenatal checkup [5.13] I had only gained a 1/2lb from the check up on [4.15]. AWESOME, doubt I'll be that lucky at my next check up, which are now every 2wks until I'm due!!

Leanna: What can we say about Leanna??!?! OMG, we love her to pieces! She is just soo damn SMART;EVERYDAY she has a new word or question or sentence. We sometimes are completely amazed at what comes outta her mouth. She has full blown conversations, it's the sweetest!! She definately knows all about Ailea and at first she would pronounce the name AIWEA! The more she says it, the more it sounds right! She comes over to the belly & says baby, hugs, kisses...asks what she is doing...so cute! I just love Leanna and she will be the SWEETEST big sis!! She has soo much to look foward to in the next coming mths once she turns 3;preschool,DANCE & still enrolled in gymnastics! I cant believe I'll have a 3 yr old by summer's end!! OMG, 3!! ahhhh

FAMiLY: We've been doing pretty good. I'm still working on myself, on my patience!! My weekly counseling sessions are totally paying off. I have my slips, I become incredibly overwhelmed..i'm pregnant! He's been doing an OUTSTANDiNG job supporting me in whatever. He's a AWESOME daddy and he knows that. Leanna truly has 2 AMAZiNG OVERLY LOViNG PARENTS;she is LUCKY! We love her to PiECES!!! And we have MORE LOVE to offer Ailea!! We just cant wait for the newest addition to our family!




Guess WHAT!?!???!?!

I'm going to be a MOMMY, again!!!
