Aydyn and the Big move.

Well Aydyn is 14 weeks old now. He is sleeping through the night (most nights), and he is a very happy baby. He love  tummy time and is a big talker. He has started to roll over. Me and Richard had our first date night last night with out Aydyn. My good friend Ali watch him for us, and let me tell you it was hard to leave him. But me and Richard had a good time and Aydyn was good for Ali. Everything is going as planned with the adoption. The lawyer is sending out the last bit of paperwork to be signed and sent back and then we will have about 30 days and it will be finalized. We are looking at sometime in the begining to middle of  December for the adoption to be final.
So that means we are looking at around that time or shortly after the new year for our BIG MOVE. If anyone has ever relocated to another state they will know how hard it is to pack up everything and go. We have been going through things and deciding what we want to take and what we are getting rid of. I think this is the hardest part of moving. I am super excited to start this next chapter of our lives.

Almost Paents/vacation/big move

So, Richard and I have a little over 11 weeks until we become parents. We are starting to get a little more nervous now. This will be the greatest blessing for us. A little over a year ago we lost our own baby and have been having a hard time getting pregnant. We are very thankful to my sister for allowing us to adopt her son. And we know how hard this is going to be for her.

As most everyone know we wnt to the florida keys this past week. It was nice to have th whole family together for the vacation and their mom/dad's wedding. We bonded a lot with Richard's new step brother and his girlfriend, we even bonded a little wth Richard's brother ( for those of you that know that story you know how hard tis was for us). It was beautiful there and was hard for us to leave. We got to swim with dlophins, go jet skiing an parasailing, we also spent a lot of time at our condos talking and swimming. I am so happy that Richard's dad and new stepmom invited to be part of their special day and took us on this special trip.

We are getting everything set in stone for our big move to New Jersey at the end of this year. I know that it will be hard to move away from all our new friends and our family, but I know this will be best for our family. We have started looking into different jobs for Richard and different idea of towns out there for us to move to.

A baby boy

My sister told me the other day that she is having a baby boy. We have decided to name him Aydyn Mychael Everett. I am super excited to be adopting him and can not wait to meet him. I was not sure how I felt about her having a boy but now I am happy. It will be a great change in our family.

Wieght loss journey

I have been trying for a long time now to lose the weight I gained when I moved out here. I gained 80 pounds when I moved out here and have not been able to lose any of it. I am doing a cleanse right now and the next step of it is the fat burn part. I am hoping to lose at least some of it before we go to Florida in May. I know that it is a constant battle but I have to start sometime. This is going to be the place I will update my progress and keep everyone in the with what I am doing.

Starting a new book list

I am starting a new book list... I have almost read throught he current list of book I have. So I decided to search for the top dystopian books... I came up with the top 150 or so. Now I have to search them all to find out which ones I like and seem interesting. I will post all my choices here and review them after I read them. If anyone else is an avid reader like me please feel free to give me your insight to any of the books on my list.

Adoption

I just want everyone to know that we (me and Richard) are adopting a baby in August. My little sister is the birthmother and she has given us the biggest gift she could. We have been trying for almost a year and concieved once but we misscarried at 8 weeks. Ever since then we have tried lots of things without success. So when we began talking about adoption my mother told me about my sister's situation, and I talked to my sister about what she had in mind. When the idea of me adopting her baby was first brought up to her, she didn't like it. She thought it would be ackward. After we talked she understood everything a lot better and agreed to let us adopt the baby. She is 12 weeks this week and we are getting excited for the ultrasound to find out the gender. We don't care if we get a boy or a girl as long as it is healthy. I will keep the blog updated as we get closer to the due date.

Hi all!!!!!!!

Welcome to my blog. I am new to this and I don't really know what to talk about. I wanted something where I could put all my thought and everything that goes on in my life. So this is going to be like a journal. I hope you all enjoy. Thanks for reading.
