Baby #3-14 weeks

So we are already on to week 14! It's amazing how fast the pregnancy goes when you don't even find out you're pregnant until you're 9 weeks, 6 days. (It's a very long story that doesn't really need details on the blog!) As much as we were VERY surprised, we are very excited to see what our youngest child will bring to our family. Eleanor will be 15 months when the baby is born and Caroline will be 3 months from turning 4. We are definitely going to have our hands full, but I'm sure it will all be worth it. We haven't officially told Caroline yet, although, we did ask her if she wanted another baby "one day". She very enthusiastically said she did and then went on to request a baby brother (b/c in her reasoning, Dora has a baby brother AND a baby sister!). However, today, she was obviously thinking about it some more and said, "One day maybe I will have two baby sisters or maybe I'll have one baby sister and one baby brother." To answer the questions that many of you have asked, YES, we are actually going to find out what we are having this time. I know you're all disappointed, since you loved how Brett and I kept you all in suspense through two pregnancies. However, we decided that we wanted to be "surprised" with Caroline and Eleanor, but with this one we already got the surprise-a little early! We should find out in about a month what the newest little Oswick will be. Of course, we'll let you all know!

Little Cruiser

Eleanor is already trying to "cruise" along the couch and pack n' play. She has taken a few steps to either side while standing up and holding on. She's doing a good job trying to keep up with her big sister!

BIG NEWS-WE MEAN B-I-G!!!

SURPRISE!!!

We will now be the 4 Oswicks PLUS 1 more as of Jan. 22, 2009!!! 

The newest little Oswick is 12 weeks, 6 days!

Big Girl!

Eleanor pulled up to a standing position today for the first time. She is getting to be such a big girl!

Blueberry Picking

We went blueberry picking on Sat. Although there were not a lot of blueberries left, Caroline had a great time going on a "Blueberry Hunt" (thank you, Dora the Explorer)!  Oh, and don't you love how Caroline had to wear her "jewelry" to go pick berries? : ) A lady always has to look her best!

July 4th!

We took Caroline and Eleanor to our town's Fourth of July Parade. We met up with a group of our friends, so we could all watch the parade together. The kids had a great time watching the fire engines, motorcycles, floats, bands, Nemo, Barney, Incredibles characters and more. Dora and Boots were supposed to make an appearance, but for some reason were no-shows! Caroline and her little friend Clara were a bit disappointed (sorry Amanda and Jamie!). Amazingly, Eleanor slept through a lot of it!

"HI!"

Eleanor is now starting to wave when she sees you say "Hi!" and wave to her. She turns her little hand towards her face and opens and closes it to wave to herself.
