Up and Out!

Our family has lots of things to smile about these days! Rosemary is 2 1/2 years old today! She moved into her own room last night for the first time. She loved the thought of her new bed, leaving the one behind in our room for her baby brother that's coming in May.













She had many milestones this week, one being her eating. She ate 58 grams of food at the feeding clinic on Tuesday, that's almost 2 ounces of food! Her development is maturing more each week, playing more with her toys, hugging, and now we think she's trying to kiss too! {She isn't quite walking yet, her therapist in these pics are helping her stand and balance.}

New Room, 1/2 birthday, more independence, what a week!

okay, let's catch up

The last three Fridays came and went. I had all intentions of posting my normal "this moment:: " post, but something would always come up and inevitably the weekend would continue to unfold without me posting. These are some images I would have shared:









So that was a little glimpse in our past couple of weeks, yes Rosemary has been very sick and is on the mend a little each day. Can't wait for her to be back to her perky cheerful self!

Happy Weekend!!

Christmas Day News ::

This was perhaps the most wonderful Christmas we have ever shared together. For a few short days, everyone was well, and we really enjoyed being together, all-together as a family. Saying that, we got a bit of news on Christmas Day. News that everyone close to us has been waiting months to hear.

Some of our family and friends already know, but for those who don’t we are expecting our next baby in May. We found out we were pregnant with Rosemary on Christmas Day three years ago, so this is a special “baby knowing” day for me. This will mark our 5th child. We’ve only found out the gender with one other child, Elise – our 3rd child. A few weeks ago, Daniel and I went in for an 18 week Level 2 ultrasound. Upon getting the word that our child was healthy and apparently happy in the womb, they gladly made a special note for us all, yes even me, of the gender for us to open on Christmas Day. So early on Christmas morning, 6:30am to be exact, I opened this letter that Santa so promptly placed in my stocking the night before. With my heart racing as I opened the sealed envelope, it revealed our fate that there would be a new baby boy coming in May. A boy! We’ve had 3 girls in a row so to have a 2nd boy as the youngest thrilled us all to no end. A boy! We are so, so , very excited!! What a wonderful day it was indeed!!!
