Week 29 - April 24, 2006

When you say the word 'Baby Boom' or 'Baby Explosion' up in the dictionary, you might see a picture of my gang of friends....it's official - the boom is on! So, just to give you a sense, here is the latest on who is all expecting:

• Meghan and Matt Wagner (Boston, MA)- due August (and as Meghan shared with the KSU girls in an email, we are all having kids in the year of the Golden Pig as she learned from her collegues:)
• Andria and Jeff Slavick (Mt. Pleasant, PA) - due October 18 (the baby's room will no doubt be Ang's favorite color - blue)
• Michelle, Shawn and Austin Ulery (United, PA) - having baby #2 in October (have moved in with Michelle's parents while there new dream house designed by Shawn is being built in Kecksburg)
• Anne and Harry Silvis (Hurricane, WV) - due October 31 (Anne and I are both October babies and I told her she needs to have Baby Silvis on my b-day on the 29). Anne and Harry have started a blog of there own as well: www.thesilvisfiles.blogspot.com
• Cheri and Nick Magistrelli (Westlake, OH) - due in November (As Cheri put it, they'll be finding out if the baby is wearing a wrestling singlet or a bikini!)

Girls - if I don't have your date filled, that means I've forgotten so send me a reminder!

I am so excited that we are all going to be sharing in this fun time together!

Week 28 - April 22, 2007

Had a great weekend at PSU and enjoyed the spring football game. The weather was just fantastic between 70-80 degrees. And as promised - I've got pics to show that Baby B is growing. Especially since we were with the Dixon's, they are always good with pictures. Their son Jack officially attended his second tailgate and was just a champ - mom and dad are grooming him to be a world-class tailgater! I'm sure Baby B will be learning some of these skills soon as well.

Week 28 - April 20, 2007

So I know everyone keeps asking for pictures to see how much I've grown - I swear I will try to get a pic posted soon. Not to sound vain, but Dave has taken 2-3 pictures of me over the last few weeks that I keep meaning to post but I really don't look so good in any of them (I need to stop trying to take them at the end of the day when I am clearly tired and look it!) With the weather finally turning into spring like temps this weekend, I'll try to get a nice pic of me outside in the sunshine. We're headed up to State College to visit Matt, Jenny, Jack, Rob and Amber and watch the spring football game so I'm sure I'll have pics from the weekend to post.

Week 26 - April 7, 2007

Since it's Saturday, Dave and I were working around the house and decided to put the crib together - the room is really coming together. I still have to wash all the baby bedding, but I couldn't resist putting it on to see what it looks like - I LOVE the room :)

Week 26 - April 6, 2007

Wanted to share some exciting baby news about Rodney and Jenny Schmucker - they welcomed their new daughter Avary Grace on April 5 at 5:33 PM. She weighed 7 lb. 3 oz. and is 19 1/2 in. long. Mom and baby are doing well - we're so excited for them. Congrats Rod and Jenny :)
















Baby B is doing well too - getting very active and is really enjoying pushing or sitting on my bladder. I'm about to move my office into the bathroom :) Besides that, not too much new to report. Finished registering at Babies R Us, Baby Depot (Burlington) and Target....talk about stressful. Alicia was a huge help in guiding me to what I really need and probably won't use - thx Alicia! There are just so many things to pick from!

Finally got the bedding that I ordered too and I love it! We're going with the pastel stripes and polka dots (http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/cci/cci2224094.html). Once we get the crib set up w/ the bedding on it I'll post a picture!

Hope everyone has a happy Easter!
