March Maddness

Long over due for an update. I read my last post and just realized how far Tristan has come in the last 8 months. He has been receiving speech therapy once a week here at home. He is using words along with sign language to communicate with us. It's very nice! Although he still prefers pouting at times. His vocabulary makes me very happy and he learns new things everyday...Today it was 'Hot dog'. =) It is fun and amazing at the same time to watch him explore. He seems to learn better on his own from trial and error rather than me showing/teaching him. In most cases anyhow.

John is loving the night shift at work and has adjusted well to sleeping during the day. The only day we have off together is Saturday. Luckily we see each other on weeknights when I get off and before he goes in.

We have made it to week 36 with Emma. My doctor seems to think that Emma will be born before April 23, her due date. He says that she is very low and that my cervix is very soft. 50% effaced. I am trying to take it as easy as possible in hopes that she will hold out a few more days. I would like for her to be born in April, but will take anything I get. This pregnancy has been an adventure, much different than my first. I am ready for it to be over though. I feel like I have been pregnant for a year.

We have finally found a house here in Colorado that we hope to be closing on soon. It is still being built and should be complete on or about April 15th, 2010. Wish us luck!

In a Nut Shell

Well those are all the pictures I have for now. I hope that you enjoy them! As far as updates there are a few things. Tristan at 19 months still isn't talking. We aren't 100% sure why he has decided to take the oath of silence, but we have been told by his doctor that it is time to look into having him evaluated for Speech therapy. We have agreed that we are going to do it, but have not actually taken the steps to set up the appointment. I think that John and I both keep hoping, "Maybe today he will say something..."
John is loving work. He has a great schedule that allows him to keep Tristan two days of the week. Then the other three Tristan stays with a Nanny. John says that this might change in October though because that apparently is when the new schedule will be coming out.
Work for me is going good. I gave up on any hopes of a Supervisor job when I had heard nothing about for weeks. Then about 3 weeks ago it came up again. I was unaware of this but they plan to make me the Order Entry Supervisor. I will have three people under me. I am excited about it and ready to take the position as soon as they think I am completely trained for it.
This morning, 8-14-09, John and I found out we are expecting a Baby. =) On my doctors visit after the miscarriage I was told that I would not be a high risk pregnancy. He would however, keep and eye on me because he cares. Not sure what I think of that. Anyhow, I have to make an appointment with him to confirm this pregnancy and start my normal check ups. We are very excited and hopeful. I will try to keep you as updated as possible.

Swimming With Mama

Tristan has always loved to take a bath. He loves the water. So naturally he would love swimming. Not so much! He likes it, however, after about 20 minutes he is ready to do something else. Something more exciting! I can get him to go to the pool with me for about 30 minutes and then he starts to get a little upset. I don't like being 'That Mom', so when he starts telling me it's time to go home, WE GO! =)

Isaac's Visit

At the end of July, beginning of August my 12 year old cousin, Isaac, came to Colorado. John and I showed him some of the things we thought he would like to see/do. We all went to the Water Park which was great fun! I took Isaac to the Denver Aquarium during Shark Weekend and John took him Hiking up Mt. Evans. We had a great visit and hope that he can come back again next year!

Family Reunion 09'

We had a Family Reunion on my Mom's side this past July. Everyone hasn't been together since our wedding so it was awesome! We decided to have the Reunion in Colorado which work out great for us! No travel necessary! I had fun watching Tristan play with all his cousins. I think he had a lot of fun those few days.

Shoe Goes On Your Foot...

Tristan trying to put his shoe on. I was being quiet because it was very early on a weekday and John was still sleeping. This video was taken July 8, 2009.

Past Due Blogs....Coming Soon!

I know I owe everyone a few blogs. I will sit down tonight when I get home and add some updated photos and info. =) xoxo
