Lots to update on!!!

I was on a roll keeping my blog current, but I took a long break. So I am back now and ready to update everyone on what has been going on in the Weber household, so here we go:

1) A has transitioned out of the carrier and is now in a "big girl" car seat. After her 9 month appointment the doc said that she was ready for the big seat.



2) M has had some hair loss and we took her to the doctor who referred us to a specialist....and no one can figure out what is going on. They think that it has broken off, but it is starting to SLOWLY grow back. So right now we are dealing with some chicken hair on top and when we are out in public I hear people whispering..."she must have cut her hair!"



3) A was sick for about 1 week with fever and vomiting. I took her into the doctors and come to find out after a urine test that she had an UTI. So Monday Josh took her to Children's to have some test done and she has "reflux". It is where the urine from the bladder is getting processed multiple times in the kidneys which was giving her an infection and causing the fever. The doctor at the hospital said most likely she will need to be on medication for a year and than be retested. Between her and M we have made more than our share of visits to Children's Hospital. Crossing our fingers that we are DONE!!!

4)M is in the "TERRIBLE TWO" stage! Just tonight it took her 2 hours to pick up 4 magnets that she threw on the floor. After multiple times in time out and trips to her bedroom and crying fits, she FINALLY decided to pick them up. She is so strong headed and I am scared for what the future holds for us. But this picture makes up for all her craziness!!!



5) This is the BIGGEST thing that has happend since my last post ~ after Friday, I will be a STAY AT HOME MOM!!! Yep, you read that right. I am going to be staying home with my girls and watching a couple of other little people. I am really looking forward to the change and scared & excited all at the same time!!!!

Well I think that I got everything!!! This house is a ROCKIN...and you might not want to come a knockin!!!

A year ago today!!!

A year ago today we were in the parking lot of a restaurant nervous as ever. Every women that would walk by the car we wondered if that was "her". Finally the time came that we were supposed to be meeting this potential birthmother, our social worker and my aunt...so we walked inside.

There for the first time we met this amazing, strong and beautiful women! We had an amazing dinner and afterwards she gave us our first pictures of our daughter A.

From that point on our relationship grew stronger & stronger and we were no longer strangers.

Three months later....A welcomed the world and we were there to witness her take her first breaths.

A year later....we have an amazing relationship with T and would not chage a thing. As A grows up she will know who T is and will be surrounded with so much love.

You never know what can happen when your heart is open....

Things may work out

Okay....before I had children I always said that I would not work and stay home with them. Well once the children came and I was in the real world I realized that I was not able to stop working and I had to place them in daycare (with our sister-in-law).

Well I am thinking about making a HUGE change in my life. I am wanting to stop working and watch children in my home. I know, I know....some people may wonder how I am going to do it and what I am giving up. All those thoughts have gone through my head once or twice but I know I am making the right decision for myself and the girls.

I put an ad in the local newspaper in May and I had like 4 families call but none of those panned out and I wondered if this was the right thing for my family and started to freak out alittle. There were days that I was sad and trying to find the answer, thinking that my dream of staying home with my girls was never gonna happen and I had to keep telling families that I never really knew when I could start. Now with the past week I have had a couple of families call and they sound pretty promising!

So I am feeling MUCH, MUCH better and I feel like this is what I am supposed to be doing and that things are starting to work out for me and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and no longer just see darkness.

Please continue spreading the word that I am looking for children to watch and keep me in your thoughts!

I'm a big girl now!!

A is 8 months old....8 months!!! Where have these months gone?? Let me fill you in on what she has been doing ~ sleeping through the NIGHT, using a sippy cup, eating yogurt and loving it, rides in the front seat of the stroller, sits in a highchair, holds her own bottle, rolling all over the place, goes from tummy to sitting up and most important CRAWLING! Watch out world...A is growing up :-(

Panties, Potty and hopefully no more Pampers!!!

Well we are in the thick of things...M has been wearing panties for the past week and has done an AMAZING job. Today she did not have one accident. I must admit, this whole potty training thing really has not been that hard. The sitter has been working with her as well, so once she comes home she stays in her panties until bedtime.

SO we will keep our fingers crossed and hope that we will just be buying Pampers for one little person!
