No Picture :(

This is just terrible - For the first time since Connor was born I do believe this is the first time, I have not reached for my camera or made sweet boy pose for me so, I could get a super set up picture. Now, that I think about it - this does not make me very happy. I do think it may be because we didn't have power most of the week. I am proud to announce that after 4 days we did get power back. We got power back Thursday night around 7:30! I guess I never realized how easy it is to take advantage of the "not so small things" like electricity! We did go to Papa & Grandma Duris' on Tuesday to get out of our dark and powerless (except our 1 room - that was plugged into the garage)to enjoy a nice yummy dinner and visit with them and your cousin Austin! Then on Thursday we were over at Papa and Grandma Urbanski's to enjoy another yummy home cooked dinner when we seen our lights come back on! How excited we all were!!!! We went on Saturday to Chuck's house - he and Betty threw a couple's shower to introduce their new granddaughter to everyone. You Connor had a blast there were so many young kids for you to play with also his dog that you adored as usual. You and pets are just something we know nothing will ever come between...We spent our Sunday doing a little shopping - getting ready for baby Zennon to join our family then the rest of our evening with family - what could be better? Nothing! It was a fabulous day! The weather is getting just a little bit closer to SPRING - the sun has been out, the snow is melting, and we have reached the 40's - the weather did say this week should get into the 50's woo hoo - time to get out and take our "walks"!

Baby News: This week I am officially 32 weeks - that means only 8 weeks left until we all get to meet the newest addition to our family! I am going to the doctor every two weeks now and have an appointment on Friday:) This pregnancy really has gone by fast- Not totally sure how I feel about that - Love it because I am very ready to meet our sweet new baby boy but also am sad because I am going to miss all these little flutters that are constantly moving in my belly. I have grown the love them even if I am trying to sleep at night.

And.. we thought we were on our way to SPRING?!?!?

Well as our week went by we all started feeling better! We also got our "Valentine's Day!! Mommy, Daddy and Connor got to bake a decorate our Valentine's Day cupcakes, and it was just so adorable the whole time - we let Connor help us mix and bake them so, once we were done with that it was hard for him to understand that we had to wait and let them cool so, we could decorate them.. He was just so happy and excited since he had never done that before - Now that we know how much he enjoyed it, I have a feeling we can do that again very soon. We even ventured out a few times this week! That was until we got a lovely ice storm that knocked out our power! We are lucky that grandpa and grandma's house across the parking lot and "work" both have power so, we actually plugged into the garage for enough power to run our furnace, refrigerator, and light, television, other small items in our bedroom. Im happy we can atleast have heat and enough to let us stay in our house. We are hearing that we may not have power back until Thursday at 8PM. I'm hoping they are just saying that and will have it done earlier im not sure how I feel about waiting until Thursday evening. Especially since we lost it Monday morning at 4:00.
But on to our adventures. Mommy had a "baby doctor" (as connor calls it) appointment and since daddy had a super busy day on Friday - Connor and I spent the day out after my appointment. And I must say for a little boy he was so good for mommy! Got a few errands ran and just looked around - He did however enjoy our visit to Babies R Us - always seems to like the Elmo & Zoey ride (he is aloud to ride as long as he is good in the store, so you can imagine he was a perfect angel anything to get on that ride) Then on Sunday - Connor and family were invited to his cousin AJ's 12th birthday. Connor did not want to leave he is was a great time with his cousin's. On our way home from the party is when this nasty storm started.. Here are a few pictures of why my post was late..


We also had a guest last night "uncle moose" is also without power so, since we atleast got heat and some power he came to visit and hang out. Eric took a picture of our party lol in our one room with light and tv and even our wii - just so I could post it on here so here is our fun little one room party.



Baby News: On Connor and I's day out together we went to my "baby doctor" apoointment and everything is just perfect - Im still measuring about a week and a half ahead of my due date which is right on with my first date they gave me so, once we get closer she will decide if I can go back to my due date! That would be nice, I tell ya with only about 2 months left we are all starting to get very anxious! Connor enjoyed listening to the baby's heartbeat - he told daddy he heard the baby when he got home! I have also gained a total of 6lbs! Even being sick for a week so, I was happy about that! I also am thinking this baby is going to be one strong boy all day long I feel him doing flips, kicking, and moving all around! It is a much enjoyable feeling. Its just crazy to still think this little boy is almost ready to be born.

Happy Valentine's Day

Well that surely was not the outcome we were hoping for but, none the less it was a GREAT game.. Even though we did not get the ending of the game we wanted we still got to hang out and spend an entire weekend with Uncle Bob, Auntie Jennifer and Johnathan! We all played in the snow on Saturday and very badly wanted to make a snow man but, the snow was just not packing. But on Sunday Auntie Jennifer, Johnathan and Connor boy did make it out to make our STEELERS snowman it was super cute! He greeted people as they arrived for our party - which I must say was a very good time - Great company, good food and memories that we will keep forever! It took Mommy and Connor a few days after just to get the house all clean again. We finished that just in time to get outta the house and spend some time with daddy and grandma shopping on Friday then dinner with papa and uncle Eddie and Peter. Saturday mommy to go out with the all girls on the schneider side for our first ladies day. We went out to lunch then spent the afternoon painting pottery ( I was just a little worried going into it but, ended up being so much fun I so want to do it again) It was alot of fun to spend time with them all and I cant wait till our next ladies day out! Im glad I got out to do that on Saturday because something nasty hit this household the following morning. Well this was not the Valentine's Day our household had hoped for but, atleast we are all together - Connor boy loves his little gifts. We were all set to make cupcakes but, with none of us feeling to well I think we should plan on that in the next few days when we all feel up to it:( HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL OUR WONDERFUL FAMILY & FRIENDS! WE LOVE YOU ALL!

BABY NEWS: 30 weeks - welcomed us with coughing, running noses and worst of all fevers! It was definatly not what we expected. Connor, Mommy and Daddy all spent most the day - either on the phone with my ob doctor - we were so worried about me and this baby or just sleeping. Ofcourse it was like just about a beautful day too and we all spent in it bed and watching movies with Connor. Im am proud to say that as of about 4:30 on Monday none of us still have the fever. Thats not say it wont be back so, were knocking on wood and keeping out fingers crossed. We are all still feeling under the weather but, hoping by tomorrow we will all start to feel just a little bit better. If my fever was not gone by this afternoon I would of had to make an visit to my doctor but, since the medicine kept it down unless it goes up again tonight I am scheduled for my 30 week visit on Friday - after that appointment I will be officially starting my every two week appointments! How exciting to think only 10 weeks left! I just cannot wait:) Im starting to get very inpatient.

Oh, how we LOVE visitors!

Short post today: As we are headed to the airport in less than an hour to pick up Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Bob & Johnathan - we couldn't be more excited!! They are coming up from warm and sunny Florida to help us celebrate the STEELERS being in the super bowl:) As for our week so far, your other Aunt Jen from New Jersey came into town on Saturday and stayed until Wednesday! Connor - let me tell you, you had a blast with her - you were very excited to spend time and play with her! We took our wii over to grandma and grandpa's and I must say that kept us busy just about the whole weekend! Mommy and Daddy had a few errands to run on Monday and you kept Aunt Jen busy playing Just Dance!! You are quiet the dancer my little man - even daddy got in on the action! We had fun with mario cart, just dance, bowling, and our fitness tests - everyone had a blast - especially you! Im glad you got to spend some time with her - We will most likely see her again when baby Zennon decides to make an apperance! And until next time! GO STEELERS!!!
