Well, I WAS going to post on Wednesday announcing 2 more weeks until Gabby...but I got busy & forgot! (Mommy mind as a customer put it at work!)
SO --- now a week and a half until Gabby!! The countdown is on...she's dropping in soon to meet everyone! I'll get pics out by email soon...and hopefully up on the blog soonish...depends if I get internet at the hospital for my stay or not! I'm hoping to be home from the hospital that Friday and hopefully sitting in the bed or on the couch then putting pics up & enjoying our sweet angel baby!
Keep checking back for updates & pics of sweet baby Gabriella Jane! (curles, a dimple, light or dark hair....we can't wait to meet her and see!)
My adorable little brother in law joined Xanga! What fun!
This works best for me since I can write my thoughts...and those that know me can check up on me or get emails (or see pics) without me emailing each one!
Gabriella Jane is doing fine, yes! Although she seems to be tap dancing or playing soccer in there a lot...she's VERY active! Ed says some nights I talk to her all night long..."OH gabby, stop it" and moan like I do during the day when she kicks me in a bad spot!
Gabby is anxiously awaited for, the first girl since Ed's mom on his side, and the first girl grandbaby on my side so everyone is excited (we have a step granddaughter but not quite the same!)
Ed & aidan are in DGO this week visiting Nona for an early aidan's b-day & Christmas celebration. I have to work all weekends this month for holiday shopping...and I only get Christmas day off so too hard to arrange a big enough block of time for us all to go together! Especially since I'm using up my vaca time for recuperation after Gabby's surgery & arrival! I'll get 2 weeks to enjoy her & then back to work....
AND THEN...she'll be home alone with Aidan & Ed, so keep your thoughts with her! The baby doll they've been practicing with isn't faring so well! I've come home & found her lying in the hallway, or ed forgets & sits on her on the couch, or aidan flings her about! Aidan is actually doing better since meeting his new cousing Spencer (2 months old now & 16 LBS)...he's getting more the idea & watching him lots when Ed takes him up there to play with Gavin.
Here's some more great photos for Uncle Nicky!
Aidan patting Gabby (he'll occasionally kiss her too, he's VERY kissy lately!)
Halloween: What IS this on my HEAD!???
Penguin shopping, it showed off his cute wings in the mall best!
Don't let the wild things out of the pen - looked like he was in a glass cage in this pic!
Aidan & Lily in the big tub swimming pool! When she visited this summer...
Here is a photo of Aidan Gabby & I, sorry you can't see Gabby well (the ones ed took of my tummy look awful...we'll try again)....he's gotta learn to turn the camera sideways sometimes or he cuts off heads!
So while sorting baby clothes with my sister (picking out white & stuff that will work for girl)....
I had a freudian slip (or slip of some kind....) and said "OOH this will work for GABBY"
LOL i've been calling the baby Belle since i found out it was a girl, was just planning for the worst since that's usually what happens!
ANYWAYS....it's really growing on Ed & I, think it might be our girl name, Jamison was our boy name, not that we need that now (ultrasound image was VERY different than aidan, and they both flashed the camera like good little babies!)
Sigh...not that anyone reads this blog, but well gets my thoughts out there. My family likes it, guess i'll have to check with the inlaws & make sure mom in law doesn't hate it or anything!
