Fun with Oma, Aunt Shannon and cousins (Spencer & Connor)

Last weekend Chris's mom, sister and her boys come over to see us. We all had a fun time, Ella was very excited to see her cousins!

37 weeks yesterday (8/12/09)

Yesterday I had my weekly visit with my doc. She said no changes, which means I have not dilated AT ALL!!!! :(
I go back to see her next Tuesday, I really think I am going to talk to her about inducing at 39 weeks if nothing happens before then. I did not what to do this, but now that we are down to the wire, I am afraid of going into labor during the night. My fear of the night is, having to drag Ella out, then waiting on my mom to get to the hospital to get her. Just the thought of having to take her to the hospital at the time of labor, I want her to be there at some point to meet her baby brother, but at the "right time". It is so different planning all of this with a child.
More updates next week! :)

Owen's Room

Ownen's room is finally finished! My sister-in-law finished painting this week. She did a wonderful job, Thank you Shelly!!! Now all we need is Owen to make it complete. I go back to the doctor on the 12th. Update to come.

Sassy Flip-Flops

A friend of mine bought Ella these sassy little flip-flops. She LOVES them! I think we are going to be in trouble. Take a look for yourself.

Our Newest Addition....

No, it is not Owen. We found this precious little Pom Pom. We named her London, she is such a sweetie. London got to go to Wal-Mart with us today, only because we were not sure about leaving her in the house unattended and I was afraid she would dig out of the back yard. Not a very good idea to take a dog and a 2 year old into Wal-Mart. Needless to say, we bought her a crate. It even gets better, she is potty trained!!!!! At this point in time we have as many humans in our house as we do animals. This will change when Owen arrives. Ella likes her, but I think she maybe a little jealous. The cats, that is another story..Casper loves her, they play together. Stanley does NOT like her at all, he hides from her, when he sees her he growls and hisses at her. It is too funny!
Of course, if we see signs up regarding a lost dog or someone tells us there dog is missing, then we will give her back to her owner. We don't want to take someones dog. So, far no sign of anyone looking for her, she did not have a tag. Maybe we will get to keep her. She is a real cutie!!! :)

35 weeks today!

I can not believe that I will be having our second child in about 4-5 weeks. I go back to my doctor on Monday. She is going to do a sono to check to see how big Owen is. She wants to talk after the sono, she does not him to be so big that I can't have him. Considering that Ella weighed 8.11, she says he will more than likely be bigger. I told her really do not want to be induced or have a C-section. I would like to go into labor at 39 weeks like I did with Ella, but I'm sure it will not be the same. Waiting is the hardest thing!

Ella and Owens new ride

This is the kids new ride. We bought it when we bought Owens car seat. It is going to be easier to have both of them in one seat, when we go somewhere. Ella is still not ready to walk in stores. She tends to run all over the store.
Ella loves the new stroller so much that she wants to sit in it in the house.
