guess what???

I JOINED A GYM!!! and I LOVE IT!!! Why didn't I join years ago?

I never imagined I would enjoy working out! A couple friends go to the same gym so sometimes we work out together.

My sister is 38 weeks pregnant. She goes to the doctor Tuesday and he will schedule her to be induced within the next week, if Miss Olivia doesn't decide to come out on her own! We are getting so excited! She does not need ANYTHING for the next six months atleast!

I haven't seen Patrick since he went home :(.
I talk to Casey a lot and he has colic so they're sleep deprived but otherwise doing great! My lil man has gained weight so I can't wait to see him!!!

BELIEVING!

Patrick...

Patrick has made his appearance!!! He was born Friday at 9:17 am. He is a tiny little guy, weighing 6 lbs 12 oz and was only 18 in long! I talked to her around noon today and they were on their way home.

I got to spend two days holding the little guy and it seemed like his looks changed overnight! I hope to get up there this week and see him again!

I'm not home right now but I will share pics soon!

YAY!

Casey (caseyjo18.blogspot.com) just pulled up at the hospital. We will meet baby Patrick VERY soon!!!! I can't wait!

My sister went to the doctor today and he said he expects her to have Olivia in about three weeks, which is right before her due date.

I have had a wonderful year so far. I will update soon.

where has the time gone...

I can't believe it's been a month since i've posted!!! I am doing great! I still love my job, especially love everyone I work with. I have made many new friends. I've been going through a lot with my other friends accepting my new friends but my best friend has been there through it all and I guess that's what counts.

I finished my Christmas shopping yesterday, which is really late for me! I am usually finished by December and just stay away from the mall after that! I fought the crowds and sat in traffic for an hour trying to get out of Mall of LA last night!!!

My family is getting excited to meet two new babies within the next two months. I believe Casey only has about five weeks left and my sister has about eight, which I will be very surprised if she goes that long!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!! Let me know how you are doing!

it's been a while!

I'm still around, just have been BUSY! I am loving my job, more than I ever thought that I would!!! It keeps me busy but I like that!

About three weeks ago I had Casey's baby shower (caseyjo18.blogspot.com) to go to, it was great! Her cake was AWESOME, I wish I had that talent! Hopefully, she will post pics soon. Speaking of Casey, she could use our prayers. She has been put on bedrest and is having problems with her blood pressure.

This past weekend was my sister's baby shower. It was wonderful. I gave her a crib and it is already set up and it looks beautiful. We are getting so excited. I can not wait to meet Olivia! She will be so spoiled.

Our family will be full of babies in '09! Casey is due in January, my sister in February, another cousin in June and an aunt in July!!! The last baby born into our family will be seven years old this month!

too cute...

A friend of mines daughter turned five today; this was our conversation, after she opened her Hannah Montanna barbie set!

Zhohn: Layla, how does it feel to be five?
Layla: PERFECT! (with a little eye rolling action!)

I'll have to post a picture of my Layla bug, she is a true GIRL! Dance three times a week, nails painted, everything!

She told her brother this evening to leave her alone because she had been at dance all day and was tired!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAYLA GIRL! I remember the day you were born.

I'm gonna be an Aunt...

to a BABY GIRL!

We are all very excited and can't wait to wait little Olivia Angelle!!!!

And of course we are excited that Patrick(caseyjo18.blogspot) will be here around the same time.

Between these two babies, I'm going to need a second job!!!!

Love to all...
