just living life....

Just a few pics of Isaac on his present from Grammie and Poppa Sajko last birthday. He is nearly outgrown it!

Chad and I worked last weekend while my parents and a slew of dogs stayed in Salem with us to watch Isaac.

They had lots of fun. Isaac atttempted his first movie, "UP", but only lasted about 15 minutes, my dad said.

Chad and I celebrated our luv and headed out last night to our favorite celebratory restaurant, ruth chris, and drove up to crown point (haven't done that in years, reminded me of the time we did that after a winter formal 1997? time flies) while Aunt Heather had some quality time with Isaac. He slept in until 0915 this morning. They must have had a great night. Now, I get my Isaac time:) until I work on Friday.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first nephew...Jason and Malia are due Feb 27th!!!!!! Can't wait to meet the little one. He will be so loved.

different pregnancies

As I was putting away laundry and doing chores today, sometimes I journal in my head....

Today's thoughts

...how is this pregnancy different than the first pregnancy.


1. Bleeding Gums with toothbrushing: Every time with 1st, occassional with 2nd

2.  Heartburn: Lived on 2 tums at night with 1st, only occassional with 2nd

3. Fluttering: Felt more with 1st, feel more lower and in the evening with 2nd

4. Weight: On track for 30 pounds with 1st, on track for 50? pounds with 2nd

5. Nausea in 1st trimester: Not once in 1st pregnancy, every day for 6 weeks with 2nd. Never threw up!

it's so interesting and different, i love to notice the changes.
Most of all, I hope this baby is as wonderful as Isaac. I know she will be, in her own way!

We're having a GIRL!

and i can't wait to infuse a little pink and purple in our lives.

Go girls!

Super blessed to complete this family...but the verdict is still out on a 3rd kiddo!

Ultrasound

Baby Barr might not look beautiful and healthy but it is...

Stubborn too...the ultrasound tech really wanted a straight on look at baby face and chest but baby was just sleeping away, we saw little baby yawn in real time too, it was so sweet. The tech kept pushing on my right side, saying turn over little one, I even got up and jumped around a little, then after 10 minutes, baby turned just slightly so she could check that one more thing out.

This is a right leg bent, great calf muscle?

These are both legs and abd on right side.

Baby weighs 15 oz and measuring at 21 weeks, which is only 2 days off, so growing just right for June 16.

Sam and Isaac- cousins

Isaac has been enjoying Samantha coming over every thursday.
Isaac constantly looks at Sam with this look...

He also calls her "Saif" for Sam.

He has been asking around for her throughout the week "saif?"

 I say, "in a few days, you get to see her again!"

It's very sweet.

Homework Time

Working on Sam's 6th grade project on Mesopotamia. I learned so much:)

Isaac with Aunt Heather and Cousin Sam.

Aunt Dawn is working on homework at the desk. What a good student:)

Basket Time

Isaac occassionally hops in the blanket basket. He should be ready to go to bed on this night, but he is up and going until I put him in bed. He loves wearing hats. This is our living room with the new carpet put in last week. It's soooooo nice and comfortable. Isaac has rolled on it, and done somersaults and the dogs lay on it more than the couches now,  too. It's totally worth it.

Grammie and Poppa

I got my dad a web cam for christmas. Yeah, kinda a gift for ME to him, but he didn't write anything on his wish list gift exchange, so I knew a webcam was something he needed. What's especially entertaining to me, is that since isaac has been about 6 months old we have been video calling my parents, who didn't have a web cam. They could see and hear me and Isaac but we could only hear them. So long overdue, to actually have heads attached to the voices.

Isaac with one of his top loves, Grammie:)

Nother top love, Poppa
