Baby Owen!






Here he is! Owen James born March 25th at 1:05pm. He was 6lbs9oz 20"long. Everything went great. We're all doing very well. He's such a content baby. I'm feeling great, although at this moment I'm really tired, so I'll be off to bed now, ciao!

So Many Changes

We sold our house! We're having a baby in hopefully less than 23 days! I have a sudden ounce of motivation! All very big news in my life. Now I'll expand on those.
Matthew just recently finished a house around the corner which we will be moving into. Then he'll start building the house right next door to us, so that's what will keep us busy for the next however long. We don't have to move until May 2nd, which is really good considering the baby is due April 5th!
I'm feeling so excited and as ready as I'll ever feel for this baby. Matthews parents are coming for Easter (very end of March) so wouldn't it be cool if number 9 came to see them a bit early? In Matthews words, this baby is already very much a part of the fam. Katelyn understands pretty well whats going on, which is good considering her age 'n all. I've been making a bassinet (which I started when I was pregnant with Katelyn and never finished) I'll post pics when it's done. Getting stuff like this done makes the baby feel so much more real (for Katelyn especially).
I've been done work for a few weeks now. Definitly keeping busy though. Made hundreds of perogies last week. Katelyn is SO fun right now. She's talking so much and just really fun to watch. I love seeing the world through her eyes, just watching her connect ideas and thoughts. Funny funny. She basically pretends to be me. Right now she has her teddy "eating lunch" in the highchair while she sweeps the floor, which is one of her favorite things to do. She also likes to play in her kitchen and play with her dolls. So you see, it's pretty much what I do all day, just a smaller version of it. She's still a good sleeper, which I need as I've been SO tired! And now I'm off to make some supper. And that about sums it up! I'll keep you posted on this baby, can't wait!
