She's here!!

We welcomed Julia Marie Rapoport on September 9, 2011 at 3:33pm. She weighed in at 7#9oz and was 20.25 inches long.

She's a wonderful baby! - great sleeper, rarely cries.

        

the inspiration for her name.

a recap

hmmm, it's been a few weeks.

Look at the ticker over there -------------------->

Woohoo!! 35weeks pregnant, 35 days to go. I can't wait to meet the newest member of our family. Better put, I can't wait to get this baby out. Rolling off the couch, holding my belly up, swollen feet, fingers, legs....NOT my idea of fun....soon soon soon. Yep, that's what I keep telling myself :)

Most recent pic of my little basketball.

In other news, time to play catch up via pics.

MAY = Mother's Day spent at Minnesota's Historical Oliver H Kelley Farm. Loved the rustic feel, going back in time. (hint: click the pictures, they should get bigger ;) )

Layla's attempt at photography, she did a pretty good job if you ask me :)

the oxen were soon put to work plowing the fields

There was also a Preschool graduation in May. Congrats to Layla!

Nothing too exciting in June....skip to July.

4th of July weekend =  in Aitkin, with lots of family. water parks. picnics. sparklers.

 

and most recently....Layla turned 5

Happy birthday to my soon to be Kindergartner :)

and....that is all for now.

25 weeks!

Time seems to be going so fast, I've already made it to over half way! I can't wait to meet little Julia :)

Here's a recent pic.

Another Girl!

Well, it looks like we will be welcoming another girl this coming September. I will admit, I am disappointed, but every child is a blessing right??

We found out this morning. I wanted to bring Layla and Allie with, oh my was that a big mistake. They would NOT sit still and be quiet! But at least they each got their very own picture of their little baby sister.

That's all for now :)
