New Family Picture

Here's the family picture we gave our parents for Valentine's Day.

Yes, there is an extra pair of "feet." Those are baby booties because we are expecting baby #3. The next Gallahan baby is expected the middle of August. Our due date is the same as it was for Isabella, so hopefully we can avoid August 1st so that Isabella doesn't have to share her birthday with her Mommy and the new baby. We are about 17 weeks as of today. We still haven't decided if we're going to find out what the sex of the baby is, but right now we're leaning towards not finding out. We have another 4 weeks before we'll have to decide that. Isabella is super excited. She goes back and forth on whether she cares if its a boy or girl. She will usually tell me she doesn't care which, then she'll tell Ken that she'll be upset if it's a boy. Bryce is obviously clueless. He might figure out as Mommy's tummy keeps getting bigger.

Catch-up

So I glanced at our blog today and realized that we still had a winter background and that I haven't updated since the beginning of December. I still have yet to upload the card from the camera to the computer so still no pictures. Here are a few things going on in our lives over the last few months:

  • Christmas came and went, we had a wonderful holiday with such generous family. The kids had a blast. Isabella has just recently stopped asking when Santa is going to come again.
  • We rang in the new year. We were rather boring and even Ken and I went to bed early. We're such party animals, I know.
  • We've spent a lot of time working with Isabella on her reading and even her math. She's doing really well with both. When she wants to that is. She doesn't really like to sit still when she's reading, but we're working on that.
  • Isabella also took a swim class. This was Preschool Level 2, and she loved it. She's still not completely sure about putting her face in the water, but she's working on it.
  • Bryce has actually been showing an interest in potty training. He frequently runs to the bathroom when we tell Isabella to go in and go potty. He's even used the potty a few times. He's not quite ready for full-on potty training, but its a start.
  • We celebrated Valentine's Day. For Valentine's to our parents/grandparents, we gave them a new family picture. I'll share that in my next post.
  • Now we're into March and ready for Spring/Summer, despite the fact it snowed this morning.
  • Soon we'll be registering Isabella for Kindergarten...can you believe that?!?
So there's a quick overview on our life. Hopefully I'll get with it soon and actually get some pictures posted.
