2nd Birthday

Today is Brionnas second birthday it sure is hard to believe she is getting so big. Snice my last post brionna has done many new things and also has started to talk a little more. Not enough that the speach therapist thinks she will be done with therapy by July but enough progress that she can make some form of commuication. On a good note we will get to meet our baby boy in 2 months and 2 days so excited

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL MOMMY AND DADDY LOVE YOU

Brionna Update

So I told you she was going to an audiologist this will happen tuesday at 10am. Then i have also since gotten her an allergy appointment for testing wish is the 31st. I know that may seem sensless being so young but when you kid breaks out from eatting chicken noodle soup i think its time to find out what she is really allergic to. I know no this will mean more label reading and more thoughts to meals but i cant take her being sick or always having a rash on her face. thats all about her...

This weekend is gong to be busy but fun. We are hoping to go to jacobs game tomorrow at 1030 and our washer is also being delivered. I am thinking the grocery shopping will be done early and then we are going to try and organize toys and get Caden's room all done and ready. I know already. Yes already I am very perticual and want things done sooner than later. But what else can i say

So monday is our sono i will post again and i plan to get some pictures up soon.

ITS A BOY!!!

So last Monday was our Sono. We found out we will be expecting a boy. We have decided that the name will be Caden Joseph Matthew... I know its long but it is what we want. So after the sono we meet with the doctor and were advised they were not able to see the babies heart chambers and also measure the baby's cervical region. Why you may ask? The doctor advised this could be due to a number of different things, one the baby may still be to little and the secondary could be the babies position. I was kinda nervous about this situation and still am. The doctor was not alarmed. He advised this is a come thing with the baby only being 20 weeks old. So i went on with the day never really thinking twice till i hit Wednesday. I am going to have another stubborn baby he went a whole day with out moving and it was a little scary i called the doctors they made an appointment and bam... He moved. So my follow up sono is scheduled for this coming Monday. Almost not even sure that can come soon enough. I just have to remember that they baby is going to be ok. This is ok i know a few people who have had this happen them self's. I know with out heart chambers there would be no heart beat so that is a great sign. I know that the baby is going to be ok.

On another note. Brionna is growing and coming along way talking. She is now saying "HI" . This is awesome we are excited every day its almost like we get a new word. They are working on scheduling an audiologist appointment at this time to check her hearing her balance and her motors with that whole part of the body. I know this may seem stupid to some people but at this point I am doing it as a precaution to be sure her development is as it should be.

Please keep us in your though i will update when i know more both about the baby and Brionna. Today it is sunny and suppose to be warmer as well as the rest of the week. How exciting? Enjoy your weather everyone and you day what ever it may bring you...

hello Again

So i am back this past month has been crazy for us. Brionna is still doing swim lessons and i know i need to get pictures up. Thanks to my mom for helping me with this because up until Sunday i didn't have a suit to fit. So now I do and I'm hoping all goes well i can swim with her Monday.

Brionna started therapy this month. Her therapist is awesome and is great with her. Brionna can be on the bratty side which is for sure her all the time. She recently started to quack like a duck, and say hi. These are exciting milestones for us but i again come back to the what about the audiologist who's suppose to do her evaluation because it seems like at time when we talk to her she is totally spaced out and not hearing us...OR is she ignoring us.

The last week and yesterday we have been battling that awesome horrible flu bug. Brionna got it first then daddy and then i got it yesterday. We have been a pretty busy family other than that. I am super excited to advise as of Monday we should hopefully get to see what we are having. I am hoping for a boy but as long as I have a health baby that's all that matters. In the last few days I have been having a lot of fetal movement which is very exciting i think it was very intense yesterday sine i could eat maybe the baby was hungry who knows. But I will close for now and post again soon. Hopefully i can get some pictures up this weekend and next Monday of our little jumping bean. I keep everyone posted on our progress..

Snow Snow and More Snow

Really I am over the state of NY and this stupid snow. I asked my husband when i could move to florida his answer is never You have to good of a job. That doesn't seem fair to me at all. But i can admit this snow is very out of hand.

Brionna is going to being therapy this week. I cant wait to see how things go and se her progress finally. We bought brionnas bed room set for her bed i just wish it would come in very soon. At this point i will report her progress and updated as the week goes on.

Everyone stay warm and have a wonderful week. Ill update saturday with pictures and progress

Brionna

Its hard to believe my daughter is already 20 months old. But she has her good days and bad days. I recently had her speech evaluated and learned they feel she is a little behind which means she should be starting speech therapy very soon. So as for Brionna she is doing great for her age just need to get her to talk a little more. She is definitely coming along because we hear different things every day we are just wishing that at this time her therapy would start so she doesn't fall even more behind. I will keep you updated on Brionnas Progress at this time

Also As you all know I am currently expecting another baby. So we have decided that at this time instead of buying a dresser for the baby we will give hers to the baby and buy her a bedroom set. So this weekend we set out on an adventure and looked at our options and purchased one from Ashley. Its is white and it is a full bed with a storage underneath that turns into a trundle which is an added plus and a nice dresser with a mirror. I know she is still young for the big bed but we didn't wanna spend allot on a baby dresser when in a few years she would need the new bed anyway. This will be her Birthday Present even though it is early at this time. We are going to set up a tea party at this time for her with fun animals and baby and decorate her room with balloons and make it into a party when it is her birthday. I am trying to find pictures but at this time i am unable to locate them and will post when i do find some or it is delivered and set up.

Not updates on the baby at this point. I am currently 14 weeks along and feeling much better than I have been. I have an appointment the 7Th of February and then will schedule our next appointment to get the sex of the baby. We are really hoping for a boy at this time although at this point Paul and I both know as long as we have a health baby it doesn't matter what the sex of the baby is. Well that's all for now. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week and will post again soon.

New Year Come and Gone

Where Have I been... Well i have been pretty sick... to pretty happy... to i dunno just about everywhere

So we enjoyed our new years with family and Brionna. It was nice to actually hang out with my cousins and the family. Then New years day we spent not doing much of anything. That Monday I had a vacation day with my husband. I then worked till Thursday and had Friday off.

Then The next Monday I had appointments all day so I was on vacation again. We had early intervention come in and do a speech assessment on Brionna and she is a little behind so she will start speech this week. I also had a baby appointment. He is doing great as was I at this appointment. On Thursday i came down with something which was not fun. I called in Friday and spend my day in bed and then went into the Emergency Room around 4:30 and was there till Midnight. After all was said and done i was feeling better and able to drink and not be sick. I am still a little under the weather with a cold but i am feeling much better.

So to start this week it has been uneventful we will be having an uneventful weekend but i will try and get some pictures posted this weekend we did start swim lessons 2 weeks ago...

Have a great week everyone

After Christmas

So Christmas is over and its on to New Years. I hope everyone enjoyed there Christmas and Family. Brionna go lots of clothes and fun toys. Smart me never took one picture of her opening presents. I really wish i would have gotten the one picture when she saw her kitchen she was so excited. So on Yesterday I got all the toys unpacked and organized now i just need to get the clothes organized and we are good. Brionna has been quite the angel so far i wish i could just keep her little but i know she is going to just keep getting bigger and bigger. When i get home i will try and take some pictures of her playing with new toys guess that will have to do. Everyone have a safe week if you are working and remember to be safe new Years eve if i don't post again before than

Oh So Tired

So I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and super tired which stinks because i feel like by 4 when i get my time with Brionna i Have no energy like she does. But i am excited i have just recently started to show in the last week. This could be a good sign i am carrying high and out front yay for it pointing towards boy. Although honestly I don't care as long as the baby is health at birth.

So on to the fun holiday about to be less than 24 hours from Santa getting ready to come. I can believe my year has gone so fast and I must say it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. I have gotten everything ready for Christmas and just about everything rapped.

So I think i Will share this information I recently had a friend come to me in need and as she was talking to me on the phone i felt so helpless. To think that Christmas was literally at the time like a week away and to know there would be no Christmas for her kids i put a plan into action. First i discussed with my husband the needs at this time and we decided to pick up a little something for the kids. At one point i had told my mom about how helpless i felt because i know i could do something but not allot because we are having another baby and we are trying to get completely out of debt which we are almost completely out of. So on Sunday during the day i didn't take my phone with me when i returned home I had a message from my mom asking if I was dead which i obviously wasn't. When I called her she advised me she had picked up stocking stuff for the kids as well as a punch of toys what a blessing. So i proceeded to call my friend and inform her of what was going on because all though i would have liked to drop it off so she wouldn't know it was me it made me nervous the kids might see and doubt Santa. I told her i knew we didn't have to do it but i Told her at the time I felt it was something i wanted to do and it didn't matter if she was upset. So i wait now to get that call on Christmas day and here how the kids like all the fun stuff they are getting. I must say i am super happy to be blessed with family and friends that i Have.

IS anyone else doing anything that really spoke to them this Christmas?

I shall go today is going so slow but tonight i am hoping to get some quality time with my little one and maybe even get some stuff going that i have to make for this weekend we will see how it all goes.

Everyone HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS in case i don't get to post again before then...

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving I cooked and then went out shopping at 9:30pm hence the reason I am done shopping.

Life is crazy we are getting lots of snow now and I hate it. I think Paul will hate it to by the time summer is out and he has to get up every morning to shovel out a path to the car and brush it off for me but i love him and he knows it.

I recently found out some news which i Cant share till after this weekend. Most of my family knows but i think its best i keep it under wraps till after my appointment on Thursday It has been very crazy in our house to say the least.

Well I need to head on to get work done!!!! I will be posting up pictures as soon as i have 5 minutes at home.

Party

This weekend I had my husbands birthday party it was nice to see all of out friends and spend time and catch up. My sister and my brother-In Law made the cake. It was amazing i must say it was an amazing cake and everyone loved it. I have not posted any pictures and i don't have them with me so i will post them this week at some point when i have a few minutes so everyone can see all are friends and the fun we had. Now it is time to work a 4 day week blah

All Moved In

We are all moved in and just about all on packed and orgainzed. It was nice to have everyones help and then to get everything done on saturday except the basement. Paul is on vacation this week so it is making it much easier to get everything done!!!.

On sunday we went out trick or treating and Brionna was Alice from Alice In The WOnderland. Here are a few pictures of her

There is her and Elyssa who was dorthy

Now to make this week go smooth. Saturday is Pauls 30th Birthday Party. So i have a busy week ahead and one more room to paint!!!! Then we are done at the old apartment and nothing more to worry about yay!!!!

WHere are The Welencs

We are currently very busy with our move. It is hard to believe that on friday we get the keys to Our Townhouse and that we will be Living there on Saturday. For those of you who don't know i have Been living in an apartment for far to long with too little room. As of Friday we will have a 3 bedroom town house with our own washer and dryer lots of room for all of our stuff and Brionnas Toys. I can't wait to see her reaction on saturday when she comes home.





Let me back track to last week...How is that people eat out all the time and don't cook. Wow that was not fun...All though it was fun to see all of our friends and family and eat somewhere different it is not for us. However one more week and then it will be back to my kitchen for dinners. On Monday i went to BJs at the same time as my sister in law and nephew and brionna and Austin had a ball in the cart heres a picture

The rest of the week is a blue between packing spending time with my Friend Cything and Ash and then being at moms and my in laws. On Friday I went bowling and got a pretty scary phone call that the were rushing my mom to the hospital.

On Saturday My mom came home from the emergency room and she is ok they didn't find anything may just the flu. On Saturday my sister came home and we did Jacobs birthday party and wow those boys were crazy. Then It was home to finish packing and prepare for our week. I will go... But before i go please be aware i will not post again till Monday after we are all settled in and we have done that whole Halloween thing.

What A Crazy Mind

My mind has been in so many different places. At this time our house is just about completely packed. This weekend my goal was Brionnas Room and it is completely packet with the exception of a couple outfits to get her through till next week. I must say the closer it gets the more exciting it gets.

This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch and we did a hey ride it was very fun now i just need to get the pictures on to the computer i Must say she is getting very big and very set in her own ways . But wish us luck I know it will get better. Back to my day I will leave you with a cute picture from Friday.

Its The Weekend

So I have been pretty busy lately and i Guess i Neglected to update the blog. I have been subbing for my mother in laws bowling team just about every friday. Today I am working some OT in the morning.Then we are off to Applefest. This is my mom and I and Brionna yay for a girls day.



Lastweekend, was very fun we went apple picking with my dad and smart me didn't bring my camera sorry no pictures however Brionna did ride the pony and she is a very health girl you give her a choice of cookies or an apple and she picks an apple. I made my first apple pie which i didn't eat but the husband and bri did and they loved it. Sunday we didn't do much ...Oh my god i cant believe I forgot we signed all of the paperwork for the townhouse and we are set to move in 2 week and 5 days not that i am counting.



Also are packing is coming along really nice just have to finish the kitchen and the little ones room. I am so ready to have more room and a washer and a dryer right in my very own basement.



At this time I am also planning a birthday party for Paul he is going to be 30 so I am having a big party at the town house the weekend after we move in thank god he has that whole week off so that they house can be unpacked and cleaned. Oh how i wish i had vacation time right now so that i could have everything done or just a break period i am over tired and pretty exhausted.



However on a good note and in close I will tell everyone one christmas present i have recently purchased for Brionna I will be taking her to see The Disney On Ice Princess Show with Mary and Elyssa and Cynthis and some people and we are front row right at the middle of the ice I cant wait this is going to be her first show and i know she will be dancing and loving every minute of it. Thats all for now.



I will take pictures at applefest and try and blog again tomorrow everyone enjoy your weekend and LETS GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

First TIme BUt Not The last

So I was on the phone this morning with Paul and I hear him scream at brionna and then he proceeded to say goodbye and hung up the phone. Abour 10-15 minuetes later I recieved a text message witha picture of Brionna in Time Out. I know this is just the beginning of Time Out because she throws quite the temper tantrums and is not very good some days today it was because of throwing toys and taking things of the kitchen table after she was told no. but i will leave you with a picture enjoy

FUN TIMES AND PICTURES

So Last week was a little crazy. For those of you who don't know Paul and I have decided that we are moving to a townhouse and getting out of that apartment complex that is nothing but drama and NO room for us. So Last weekend was the first weekend of football and we also started to pack but not with out a trip to the park here is a picture of brionna on the slide...

So the week went as normal...Busy we worked and played and of course had fun then came Friday Brionna and I headed to the mall once I picked her up from day care to pick up her costume for Halloween while waiting for grandma a I got a cute picture of Brionna in her sunglasses. She is going to be Alice and Wonderland for Halloween. Here's her cute picture

On Saturday morning Paul and I were procrastinating getting out of bed so Brionna decided she would come in and play while we layed there. So brionna ventured in to the dogs cage(picture will be posted). It was very cute.

So once we finally got out of bed if was off to start our day i headed to the in laws and then to the farm where brionna got her first pumpkin. Which I don't think she was to sure of but she got used to. WE then went to the store and did our shopping and meet up with daddy and it was off to grandmas for the night for her and Paul and I had a date night and went bowling.

Sunday Morning, Paul and I went to pick up our washer and dryer thanks to Katies brother and then we were off to get the princess. For some reason brionna must not want to do nap time anymore not that we are giving her the option because she was definitely tired as you can tell in the picture.

Once she took a nap it was time for football. We watched and played and watched and played and she is funny. For those of you who may remember I am going to post a picture of a hat that was both worn by Jacob and Kenny when they were little. She thinks it is fun to put it on and run around the house so i am going to leave you with this one last picture and everyone have a great week. I will post again soon.

Thursday

Its hard to believe it is Thurday already. But thank god it is almost over. Tomorrow is friday thank god an this weekend we are going to start packing and relax.
Friday is right around the corner and thank god that it is not going to be long till saturday. I think we might take Brionna to the park and just do nothing except oh wait saturday night and sunday or both big days can you guess why?? I will tellyou its because FOOTBALL is back. We are a football family adn i plan to relax and watch it all weekend long

Fun Things

So as I stated in my last post Brionna went to her Grandma and Grandpa Smiths and she had a ball. She never cried once and be haved for them very well still not to sure why i was worried about her so was such a good girl. Paul and I went to the Bridgeport Field Days and we saw friends we only see once a year and of course people we see all the time and we finally got to meet Mikes Girlfriend which by the way I love her she is awesome.

Sunday I picked up Brionna and we headed out to the field days to do rides again which I might add she was very good about it. She loved all the rides and definately had lots of fun. Then we had dinner and called it a night

Monday Brionna and I went shopping with grandma then i cooked dinner for the inlaws and we had family day now everyone is off to start school and brionna will go to daycare for the first time on friday what a sad day!!! She will be ok thouh she is with friends Well back to work i must go
