Meeting big sister and her two Grandmothers

Dr. Rob

It's official! After 4 long years of school my husband is a

DOCTOR OF MEDICINE!

The ceremony was nice, but very long for this 9 month pregnant wife. One plus was I pulled the pregnant card and we got to wait inside the lobby of the auditorium until doors opened and then got first pick of seats. We ended up sitting 2 rows behind Rob. Sophia did pretty well, but just kept wanting to climb all over me and sit on my lap. There's not much room on my lap anymore. She finally fell asleep during the last 15 mins which meant a family photo was not going to be option.

Unfortunately, I turned up the iso on my camera when we were indoors hoping that would help the photos, but then forgot to switch it back down for outdoors so I have a lot of grainy photos. I blame it on my pregnant brain.

Daddy the Dr.

Rob's sister Rachelle flew in for the graduation.

And of course so did his proud parents. (Don't ask why this photo is so overexposed, I'm bummed it didn't turn out)

Inquiring sisters want to know...

what their pregnant sister looks like.

Here it is ladies. Only 10 days to go and 3 days till hubby is an official Dr.

Exciting times!

Some time with Pepa/Poppy

My Dad came out for a business trip at the end of March. Sophia was thrilled to see him. Afternoons at the park, rock throwing, and snuggles made her days complete.

I'm Back

But only for a little while. I'm going to try to catch up on some blogging before baby comes in a little over 2 weeks.

This is a skirt I made Sophia from a tutorial founds here. It was my first attempt at sewing jersey knit aside from a scarf I did earlier this year. It was a little challenging, but I finished the project.

As for Sophia, she has grown up so much in the last 6 months. Every time I look at her I think where did my little toddler go. She just seems so much older now. Her language skills are improving daily and it's quite impressive. She still says things that make us laugh though. The other night I asked her if she wanted to go get some ice cream. She saw a photo of some on the internet and said," Mmmmmm, that icey creamy is hungry for me!"

The other day the baby kicked my ribs and Sophia heard me say, " Owwww!" She asked what was wrong and I told her the baby kicked me. She then said, pointing her index finger at my belly, " No, no, no, baby." Five mins later she got up rubbing her tummy and said, " Owww. Mommy, I have a baby in my tummy.

Lately there's only been about 2 dresses in her wardrobe that she'll wear. Her "yellow pretty dress" and her blue one. She's been on a Beauty and the Beast kick and those are the only colored dresses that Bell wears in the movie. Neither of her dresses resemble Bell's at all except for the color. She'll pull them out of the dirty clothes to put them on. I've been having to do a lot of wash as of late.

Now that the weather is nice, we've been at the park a lot. She loves the swings and just being outside in general. I can't wait for our backyard.

I think she's going to be a great big sister. Just this morning she decided that she needed to read the baby some of her books so she sat near my belly and "read" the books. Every now and then touching my baby belly and telling the baby what she saw on the pages.

Rob has been home a lot more now that he is finished with school. Sophia has enjoyed having Daddy around. A complete change to what we experienced the last 4 years. But we are loving it while it lasts just a few more weeks.

Everything's Bigger in...

Match Day recap:

The room: balloons, students, friends, family and excitement!

I don't know if I've even been in a room filled with that much energy and emotion before.

Waiting to open the envelope

The results

One happy family on their way to San Antonio!



There was only about a 5 min period of time where Sophia had to be quiet during the entire time we were at the school ( this is when the deans were congratulating the students)

Sophia and Josh could not keep quiet. Instead the silent crowd heard giggles followed by shhhhh, over and over again.

Some photos from our recent trip to Texas

Jan 2010

Looking forward to sunshine and warm weather



River Walk

The Alamo

Annual Pachyderm Parade

We couldn't have asked for a better day:

Weather- high 60s and sunny

Elephants on parade in front of the Capitol

Good friends

Pinwheels, hats, and silly red noses

All Sophia kept saying on the walk back to the metro," The elephants are gone."

She loved her pinwheel but didn't seem to care about the hat or silly red noses at the parade. As soon as we got home she wore them almost all evening. The nose was a little big for her and kept falling off, so I kept putting it back on.






Not sure who love it more, the Moms or kids
