2015 Wrap Up

The first half of 2015 stunk. Rob was sick, had two surgeries and was out of work.  About the midway point through things turned around.  Rob was feeling better, surgeries were done AND we found out we were going to have another baby!  So things were looking up, I turned 30, we took a mini-vacation and were able to get back to 'normal'

I can't remember exactly what happened but here is the gist of 2015

January

• Rob was sick, and just started to head back to work part time toward the end of the month.
• I started working again

February

• Um, probably just working this month and going about daily life

March

• Rob had surgery number 2.  Recovery was smoother this time around.

April

• We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary

May

• Rob turned 31 
• A few days later he had his final surgery.  I was blown away at how quickly he was recovering (still a process, but he was home in just days this time)
• Found out about baby number 2!!!

June

• Party to celebrate Rob feeling better \

July

• Eleanor's first baseball game

August

September

• I got my wisdom teeth out (it was pouring when I left the office-thus my appearance looking even worse)
• Eleanor's first trip to my parents cabin
• Rob had a trip to the ER.  First one since his surgery, but he wasn't admitted and we were heading back home a few hours later
• Anatomy scan for the baby.  We stayed team green and are waiting until birth to find out the sex
• 
• My 30th birthday (and my dad's 60th -same day!)
• Took a mini vacation to Shipshewana for my birthday

October

• Eleanor turned 2
• Last Halloween Rob spent in the hospital and for much for the whole holiday season that followed so just having him home and around was really nice. 

November

December

• Rob's baptisim
• 

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Halloween Edition

2013 vs 2014

With Rob sick and in the hospital it was just me and Eleanor. We stopped by my parents, then went to church for trunk or treat but only lasted for a whole 5 minutes (it was reaaallllllyyy cold).

After that we passed out some candy at home, which Eleanor was very possessive of and cried when I took the bowl away from her. 

It was pretty low key and thankfully she is young enough that I could get away with it. 

Weekly Wrap Up 11-2

(So I've decided that there will be repeats from the weekly wrap up and the weekly baby update.  Otherwise I won't have anything to write about.  So there.... :)  )

1) I won a gift code to tiny prints this week.  I already have her birth announcements so I have to figure out what to use it on.  I'm happy with her announcements (I got them from vistaprint), but tiny prints has some seriously adorable ones. 

2) Eleanor enjoyed her first Halloween.  Or not really and she slept through most of it.  My sister and I took Ellie and Gabe to visit my mom at work, and then later my dad stopped by, my mom came over & my brother in law came over after work and we passed out candy and just hung out.  

Ellie pooped on my mom and blew out her Halloween outfit.  Haha.

3)  The weather here was pretty crummy on Halloween and we had a lot less trick or treaters than normal which meant leftover candy.  Not good when you have baby weight to lose.  Lol.  Other than that the weather was pretty good this week and I took a few walks with the baby and it was really nice to get some fresh air. 

4) Rob's sister and mom both visited this weekend.  They hadn't seen Ellie (other than in pictures) since the hospital so it was nice for them to get to see her again.  I love to show off my sweet girl and natural she is always so good when visitors are over, or even when Rob is home.  When it's just me she is fussy sometimes and I'm sure Rob doesn't believe me that she is fussy.

5) We took Eleanor over to my former boss's house to meet the kids.  I loved getting to see them again, and it was fun for them to meet her.  They don't have a lot of baby experience but the two older girls held her.  Caleb and Cassidy would not.  

6) I went to a baby shower on Sunday for my cousin's girlfriend.  I was a little nervous to bring her around a lot of people but it was okay.  I just limited who held her.  I was a little distracted and wasn't to focused on games or even the gifts she was getting.  She is having a girl so I'm excited for sweet girl to have someone close in age to play with at family get together's.  Not that they happen a lot.  That side of the family doesn't get together very often. 

I was able to get a fun picture with my grandma, mom, and Eleanor.  I have a five generation picture from when I was a baby, but I still think a four generation is pretty cool.
