Well it has been a while since I last posted. Here is a Run down of things that have happened since the last time i posted.

Brendan Christopher Chabot was born on Nov 2. He was 7lbs 13oz and 21 inches. He is current 5 1/2 weeks old. At his 1 month Dr. Appt he weighed 10lbs 3oz and 22 inches. He is growing like a weed. His big brothers love him to death. We call him Bean or Beanie.

I will be going back to work this week. 1 week before my mat leave would be over since we have been having some financial problems I need to get back to work. Hubby's company finally called and he will be going back to work next week so I will be returning to working only 2 days a week, while my Hubby works a full 40 hour week. Hopefully in a few weeks we will be back in the black.

My sister is now regretting a decision she made, that we told her she was deciding on too fast, when she first made the choice and now she is looking for help. Which none of us can give her.

Both Big Boys got pretty nasty cold about 2 weeks ago. Raymond even had his first ear infection. Then when Ray could return to school he got a nasty rash from a combination of the meds he was on and something he came in contact with at school. That has finally cleared and he is back at school and still loves going everyday. Gabe is getting smarter and smarter every day. I am definitely putting him in Pre-K when the time comes. Though our next project with Gabe is potting training. That will start shortly after he turns 3, since that is what we did with Ray and it took only 3 months and he was both day and night trained.

Well I am going to leave with you all with a few pictures of the boys and leave this entry, since my littlest will be waking soon enough.

Missin' My Boys

I just said goodbye to my babies, they are going to FL with my aunts for 7 days. I already miss them and they haven't even been gone 10 minutes. I actually cried when they left. This is the first time that Gabe has been away from me for more than a night since he was born. It is Ray's second time.

I miss my boys, and can't wait for them to return..

D-Day is Almost Here!!!

I am so hoping this little guy comes on time, I really don't want to go over due, I am in so much discomfort right now, especially when I go to sleep, It hurts so much to change from side to the other at night I literally have to wake up, sit up and turn to my other side. I have a dr. appt later today so I am hoping that when I tell her this she will induce me if I go past my due date. We'll see how that goes, she wanted me to wait til after the 31st to be induced, she scheduled an U/S for that day..I am hoping that she will change it, or that Bean comes on time. There is a full moon on Friday so we will have to see if that holds any sway with this little guy.

Paul is still sick. I sent him back to the doctors today since what they gave him last week didn't work. So we'll have see how that went when he gets back.

Ray and Gabe will be heading to FL tomorrow night, and will be down there until the 28th of this month, we usually all go this time of year to see my parents and do the parks but I can't travel so my aunts are taking them down, this time. We will go again in June so that my parents can see Bean.

We took the boys to the Zoo yesterday and the zoo was having a Halloween Party. So the boys got to do crafts, trick or treat, get all kinds of prizes, and wear their costumes. Though Gabe would not keep his hat on. as you can see in the pictures. They are not the greatest but cute none the less.

9 More days and Bean will be here. It doesn't seems like that is all that is left. I think I got everything ready except my hospital bag which I will do probably on wednesday. I can't wait to meet this little guy.

Went and visited my in-laws yesterday and watched the Patriots game..We won of course now I will be watching Heroes tonight and keeping track of the Red Sox/ Indians game, hoping that we will win this one.

I was supposed to go to work today but that didn't happen since Hubby was up sick all night coughing and and what not, I could get to sleep at all and he is in no shape to take care of the kids today. I made him go to the doctors to get checked out because this is the second time this has come back and I want him to take something more for it so that it will be all cleared up by the time Bean arrives.

Well gotta go get after Gabe, I may post again after Hubby gets back from the Doctors.

4 Years

So today is my wedding anniversary, Paul and I have been married for 4 years as of today, though we have been together for almost 8 years. It is amazing how time flies, I couldn't imagine my life with out Paul or my kids for that matter.

So I had a Dr Appt. today and I am now 38 weeks pregnant, only 2 weeks to go. I am excited. Everything went well at the appt. blood pressure was good. I lost one of the two pounds I gained last week. I had a little protein in my urine but she was not concerned since everything else was fine and I had gone to the bathroom less than a half hour before I had my appt so I really didn't have enough I guess. I also tested positive for Group B Strep, so I will have antibiotics when I go into labor.

Other than that not much new going on. Ray has picture day at school tomorrow and I have one more week of work before I go on maternity leave.

'til next time

Today Paul went out with Ray and they bought me an early wedding anniversary present. The picked out Brain Age 2 for the DS, it is such a fun little game. Lots of brain teasers and Sudoku games as well. It was very sweet. They also bough Red Sox tee shirt for Ray and Gabe. Paul already has one, and I have a super cute onesie for Bean.

I am getting ready to watch my current favorite show which starts at 9pm. Heroes, it is a good show, but definitely one you have to watch from the first episode.

Hello All,

Today was a good day. The family and I went to a Cousin's Birthday party. It was fun and it was good to see all of the family. Ray had a great time picking out a present for the Birthday Girl. The boys were really good today as well, not fighting or talking back which makes the day so much more enjoyable.

Ray has a bit of a cough again which, made him sick last night. He seems a little better today, all he has is the stupid cough, not fever, running nose, or anything else to make you think he is sick beyond that cough.

Gabe is a little monkey as my mother-in-law likes to call him, he is getting into everything. His new word of the week has been "ridiculous." He has trouble saying "good boy" but he can say ridiculous, it is crazy some of the things these kids can say.

We have everything for the boys costumes for Halloween. The are going to be Mario and Luigi for Halloween and the baby is going to be a Kangaroo.

Well that is all I have for today stay tuned for the next installment.
