I need more time and energy!!!!

It is almost Christmas and I haven't up dated this thing at all....or shared it with anyone. This time of year is the busiest time of year for me in my career. So on my days off I wish I could be sleeping, but I do get to spend some quality time with Lo watching the movies or Dora on demand.
We are still wondering if we will be welcoming a boy or a girl to the family. Everyone has their guess, and it will remain a secret until we deliver. Lo still refuses to accept we may have a baby brother, but I know she will love him or her either way. Lo has recently started acting like a baby again, with her crys and needing a 'baba', which came out of no where! She was so easy to wing of the bottle, she never even requested one after we took one away when she turned one. It is funny how little kids respond to family expansions, and the need for attention. Lo gets plenty of attention, which is the weird thing. I think she is just getting some idea that all we want is a baby, so she needs to act like one. The truth is, I love my big kid. I know she will be a great big sister, and I will always love all my first moments as a new mommy with her, but I don't need two babies.....I would go crazy!!! Hopefully as the time gets closer, she will get her role more and more. We will see!!!

The Latest

Since I guess myspace is so yesterday, and blogging is the newest hip communication source, I have decided to create this blog to keep cool and to also keep you all informed with the latest updates with our family.
We have recently moved back to Seattle, and we are loving it! We live in a great neighborhood in North Seattle called Maple Leaf. We are close to Green Lake and some really great parks for Lo to play on. Our home is a beautiful restored home built in 1905. It is a full house, but has the space for everyone. Soon we will be adding another addition to the house too. Tony and I are expecting our 2nd baby in April. April seems to be our month, we have experienced all of the major life happenings in this month from our first date, Olivia's birth, getting married to buying our first home in April. I guess it is just appropriate that we have our second child in April. We were off to a rough start with this pregnancy, so we plan on taking it easy and enjoying everyday because we are lucky to have a beautiful healthy girl, we want the next one to be just as healthy...and of course he or she will be just as beautiful!
Tony and I are working just as much as ever! Moving back to Seattle has given us more opportunities with the companies that we are with, Tony is still with Aramark and doing exceptionally well. People must just buy more coffee and tea here in Seattle! I am still with Nine West. I am the District Training Manager, and get to be involved with lots of challenging yet rewarding development within the company. Tony and I want our children to grow up knowing the value of hard work. We make many sacrifices to provide a comfortable life for our family and we do it knowing that they will learn from us what integrity and work ethic really mean. My kids will always have parents who do the very best for them.
We are looking forward to the next couple of months, with the fun holidays to share with this full house! Lo loves having her aunties and uncles in the house. She feels like such a big kid around them, it is fun to see how much her personality has changed in such a short time. I know that they will all be such a great support when the baby comes. Lo is still getting use to the idea of a baby coming. She has expresses strongly that she wants a baby sister. I know she will be a great big sister, but she will have to get use to sharing her spot light!
I will keep this blog updated, so everyone can see our life progress!
