<br />
Happy Valentines day! I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of this "holiday" however; it is so much better now that I have have a family to celebrate it with :) <br />
<br />
Lately, I have been doing a lot of reflecting about my life and the people in it. I am constantly reminded how lucky I am to have such a wonderful group of people around me and to be in a job that I truly love. What more do you need to be happy? <br />
<br />
I have not mentioned this before on this blog but, in September (the day before school started)I found out that I was pregnant again. Jeremy and I were in a state of shock for the first couple of days and to be honest a little worried...about how we were going to handle 2 kids so close in age. Unfortunately the pregnancy ended up being ectopic and after months of not knowing what was wrong with me and the pregnancy it ended in a surgery where I had to have my right ovary, fallopian tube and my appendix removed. It was a very scary and painful time for me (emotionally and physically) and it is something I think about every day! The truth is..I am scared. I am really scared! So many "what ifs" enter my mind every single day. What if we have trouble conceiving? What if I never get pregnant again? What if this happens again? What if having two kids is too hard?? <br />
<br />
One thing I know is that having a child is hard but also the most amazing thing that I have done in my life thus far. <br />
<br />
It has always been an issue for me to "live in the moment" and I feel like with Ava this is the most important thing to do right now. She is growing so fast! She turned 19 months this month and she is really starting to develop a personality!<br />
<br />
Having a week off with her this month was great and also VERY tiring! LOL I have such a new found respect for stay at home moms!! :)<br />
<br />
Here are some recent pics of Ava that really show what she is up to.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Merry Christmas!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I think about the last year I am so very grateful. We have had our share of ups and downs this year for sure. The latest tragedy in the news has once again made me appreciate what I have and that having a healthy family is such a blessing that I try to NEVER take for granted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ava is 17 months old this month. I know I say it in every post but it is SO amazing to watch her grow and learn every day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few things that I am loving about Ava at this age: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. The way she sings songs with me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. The way she swims in the tub</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. The way she gives hugs and kisses</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. The way she colors</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. The way she dances to music</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. The way she uses her step stool to get up on the furniture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. The way she swings her feet when she is eating something she likes! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8. The way she remembers EVERYTHING</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9. The way she says "bye, bye" to me when she wants to be in her crib at night</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10. The way she babbles/sings herself to sleep</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">11. The way she counts (knows up to 13)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am SO excited for Christmas with her. She is loving all of the "ho-ho's, lights and trees in the stores. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few recent pics:</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ava is almost 16 months old! I cannot even believe how fast she is growing. Here are some things that I feel are worth sharing about her right now and that I really want to write here since I cannot seem to keep up with a baby book.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She loves to sing and dance. I am so excited for her to be old enough to join a dance class or something</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is able to count to 5 (and do this when taking objects in and out of something)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She knows some colors (purple and red)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is starting to want to "swim" during tubby time</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her vocabulary is expanding every day. Right now I am starting to teach her about Christmas and she is able to point out Ho Ho, wreaths, bells and trees when we are out. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is still a pretty good eater. Her favorites still include eggs, ravioli, grapes and cereal</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She loves to look at pictures of family members and identify them </span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is able to point to and say (head, eyes, fingers, hands, knee, toe, ear, nose, mouth, teeth, and back)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She just started using a step stool to get up on furniture and is SO proud of herself</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She loves to pretend play with dolls. She feeds them and puts them to sleep (it is SO cute)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She loves to ride in the bike seat and have daddy take her for a ride</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is starting to be VERY strong willed (has had a few tantrums)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She likes to be silly and make people laugh</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She still does not like having her diaper changed or to get dressed</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is only nursing at bedtime</span></li>

<br />
Ava is such a blessing and I am so grateful for her! She has a way of making me smile and feel proud even on my worst days. She is such a caring loving little girl and I can only hope that she stays that way forever. She amazes both Jeremy and I every day the way she takes everything in. She is a smart little girl to say the least.<br />

Here are a few recent pictures of my "sunshine"<br />

I cannot even believe that my baby is 1 already. It has been such a crazy ride. It has been so amazing watching her grow and learn everyday. Being a mom is something that no one can ever prepare you for. There has been some very high moments and some low moments as well but overall I have learned so much in this last year and I know that I will continue to learn as Ava grows. I am so proud to be Ava's mom! Jeremy and I are just in awe of her! I will leave you with a slideshow I made for Ava and some pictures of her first birthday party!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I had such a wonderful 1st "official" Mothers day! We spent the weekend out and about. On Saturday we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to go watch Cousin Lexie play in her soccer game and then went to the tulip fest. On Sunday we went to Glen Sanders for brunch. It was a wonderful weekend.</span><br />

It was pretty tough getting up to go to work today. I had such a great weekend with Jeremy and Ava! <br />
On Saturday we had a lazy morning together and then spent some time at my parents house. It is so fun to be around my family with Ava. My dad and her have such a cute relationship and it warms my heart to see the two of them together! My mom has so much fun teaching her things! I love to see how proud she is of her. <br />
<br />
On Sunday we went for a long walk in the morning and then Jeremy's parents came to visit for a couple hours. It is so cute to see the way Ava acts around different people. Her Nana and Grandpa definitely got a kick out of her! <br />
<br />
After the visit we did some shopping and then came home and took a quick bike ride and ate dinner together!<br />
It was so nice to relax and spend time with each other! I cannot wait for summer!!! :)<br />
<br />
For some reason one of my favorite things to see Ava do is to kick her little leg. She does this when she is happy! It is so cute to see her do this. It is usually her right leg and she always flexes her big toe when she does it. I don't know why but it is seriously one of my favorite things that she is doing right now. I am going to try to get a video of it for next week. :) It is the little things right?<br />
<br />
Here are a few recent pictures of her for you to enjoy!<br />

<br />
I am in the middle of reading a memoir by a mother who gave birth to a baby with Downs Syndrome. It is a wonderful book. Part of the book talks about how she got into blogging. I have always loved the idea of blogging and when my best friend started a blog about her daughter I always said I would do the same when I had a child. I feel like I have tried my best to keep up with it however; have not done such a great job! There are so many times when I see Ava doing something cute/funny and think <i>That would be great for my blog...</i>but, somehow I never get to the point of posting it.<br />
So....I am inspired from reading this book to start again....I am going to try something new-I think that if I have a scheduled time to blog that I will be more likely to do it. From now on I am going to make Mondays my blogging night. :)<br />
<br />
Monday April 30,2012<br />
<br />
I took the day off today to take Ava to the doctors. We had SUCH a great day together! We relaxed in the morning, had lunch with Aunt Stephie and Cousin Brayden and then went to the doctors for her 9 month check up! The visit went great. She is growing like a weed and is right on track with her milestones. I am in awe of her everyday and what a smart little girl she is. Here are just a few things that she is doing these days...<br />
~Waving and saying Bye-Bye<br />
~Pointing (at everything)<br />
~Says Ball (been doing this for a few months)<br />
~Crawling all over the house<br />
~Pulling herself up to standing<br />
~Cruising along furniture<br />
~Gives kisses when you ask for them<br />
~Says mmmm (moo) when you ask "what does the Cow say"<br />
~Throws her food on the floor and says ne (no) We are working on this one LOL<br />
~SLEEPS ALL NIGHT IN HER CRIB!!! (This is HUGE for us!)<br />
She is such a little sponge and I am loving it! She is even starting to like to be read to and look at books on her own! It is so amazing how fast the time goes.<br />
Here is a little slideshow Jer and I made! Enjoy :)<br />

Ava will be 5 months old this month! It is really crazy and kind of scary just how fast these last 5 months have gone. As I expected I continue to learn new things everyday since I became a mom. Here are a few more things that I never knew until I was a mom...<br />
<br />
6. I always have known that I am a pretty selfless person however; it is a whole new thing to give/do anything for your child. Even on my worst days and when I am feeling extremely exhausted as soon as I look at Ava I get a whole new sense of energy and am able to do whatever it takes to keep her happy!<br />
<br />
7. My mother is a pretty amazing person! I give her so much credit for the job she did raising me and my siblings. She was a stay at home mom who did so much on her own! I now know just how hard that can be!<br />
<br />
8. Going out to dinner and shopping are luxuries! Ava does not like going out!! I never knew how much I should have appreciated Saturday's with Jeremy shopping and having a meal out :)<br />
<br />
9. Play dates are so fun! We have had such an awesome time having play dates with Zade, Ella, Peyton, Ashton and of course cousin Brayden while I have been on maternity leave.<br />
<br />
10. Stay at home moms are SO lucky! I would love to be able to stay at home with Ava and not have to work however; I feel very lucky to be a teacher and to have summers off! :)<br />
<br />
I will leave you with a little slide show... Enjoy :)<br />

</div><br />
Since last month Ava has started to smile much easier, tell great babble stories and is now able to roll from her back to her tummy! <br />
It is so fun and amazing to watch her grow and change! <br />
<br />
October was a busy month filled with a few "firsts." we took our first road trip as a family of 3 (plus one very generous aunt!) to Rochester to see uncle Joe and Aunt Meredith get married. Ava slept the whole way there and home! Despite being away from home and having to take a bottle she was pretty well behaved for her aunt Chrissy :) <br />

<br />
Another first this month was Ava's first time getting her picture taken at Sears. We decided that we want to get professional pics done every 3 months until she is 1 so I took her for the first time on her 3 month birthday! She did much better then I thought and I was able to order a couple good ones :) <br />
<br />
Surprisingly Ava saw snow for the first time this month too! We spent the snowy days inside doing lots of eating and sleeping! But we did look out the window a few times :) <br />
<br />
Overall October was a great month! <br />
<br />
I will leave you with a video I took. I thought it was cool that you can hear a match.com commercial in the background :)<br />

<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">1. I now know that I NEVER knew what tired was....Ava is not a great sleeper! so, I now now what tired is!! haha! Now that she is 2 months it is starting to get a little easier at night but wow! Sleeping in a glider rocker was tough for 2 months!<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">2. I never knew I could love Jeremy more than I did before Ava but...seeing him with her and the way he helped me in the first couple months has made me realize what an amazing husband he is! I am so grateful!<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">3. breastfeeding is pretty amazing. Before I got pregnant I always said I would never breastfeed. Something made me change my mind when I was pregnant and I am so glad I did. Don't get me wrong...it was a little challenging at first but, I am SO glad that I stuck with it. It is pretty amazing that I can provide for Ava the way I have and that it is because of my milk that she has the chubby cheeks she has now :)<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">4. There are very few things in life that are better then seeing your child smile at you for the first time and every time after that! It is so awesome!!!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
and finally....(for now)<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">5. I am very lucky to have family and friends around who support me! I am so lucky to have my friends Wendy and Laura who both had babies right around the same time that I had Ava, my best friend Chantel who has been so good to me with texting me everyday to check in! and my sisters and parents to spend time with when Ava and I need to get out of the house! :)<br />
<br />
These are just a few things I have learned so far...I know that I will learn so much more along the way and I can't wait! </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div>This week Jeremy and I also attended our last lamaze class. It was a really good learning experience for both of us and gave Jeremy more of an idea as to what to expect on the big day! </div><div><br />

For the last 3 years Jeremy and I have hosted a Mother's day brunch at our house. We invite his family, my family and also my bother-in-laws family. It is always a great time and a nice way to have everyone we want to see on that day in one place. <br />
<br />
This year was the first year that I recieved nice cards and flowers from some of the guests. It was so cool to think that I am officially considered a mom! :) I think that being a mom is by far the most wonderful thing about being a women. <br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures that I had my sister take yesterday. I realized we have not taken many pictures while I have been pregnant so...I thought what better day to do that then on Mother's day!<br />

I thought it would be nice to get a head start on it now...just for some practice. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I cannot believe that I will be 30 weeks pregnant on Monday. Time flies! My whole life I dreamed of 3 things. Being a teacher, being married and having children. Sometimes I really do have to pinch myself lately that all 3 of those things have or are about to happen for me. I am grateful everyday. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was been an amazing few years for me and I have to thank Jeremy for that. We met in August of 2007 on Match.com :) I finally gave in and joined the site and 2 weeks later Jeremy contacted me and I am SO glad he did. We dated for a few years and in December 2009 he asked me to marry him! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We were married on July 4th 2010. It was as of today the best day of my life. I have never been so happy before and still get the chills when I think about seeing him at the end of the side walk (we got married outside). I loved everything about the whole day!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> In September 2011 we bought our first house together. We are still doing things to the house to make it our own but lately have been concentrating on 1 room in particular. :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> On December 1st 2011 we found out that we were going to be parents :) It was such a surreal day. I went to the doctors for something unrelated and ended up leaving there with a positive pregnancy test to show Jeremy! After the shock wore off we were both SO excited! I am so grateful that it happened so easily for us. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My pregnancy has been really great. I was a little sick during the 1st trimester but that was really it. The best way I can explain it was that I just felt hungover the whole time! Once the 2nd trimester came I felt great and still do. I am starting to get a little uncomfortable now and things like stairs and bending over is getting a little tough but other than that I cannot complain. My due date is July 18th and we are having a girl! I cannot wait to see what she will look like and to hold her and rock her to sleep! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, this post was WAY longer than others will be in the future I promise! I will add some pictures now and then officially be done with my first blog post! :) </span><br />
