    Counting Down

    Thursday, January 7th, 2010

    So we have 8 days until the scheduled date that our little Connor will arrive. He might make an appearance before that, but I am doubtful. We have a few things to get ready this weekend, but for the most part, we are ready for the little guy!!! I know my body is so ready. I have never been a fan of the end of pregnancy to say the least :) I want my body back!

    We have a busy weekend planned so time should continue to fly by, and it will be next Friday before we know it. We are having a very small family gathering on Sunday to celebrate Kiley’s 2nd Birthday here at our house. There is just way too much going on this year to have a big party for her, and I don’t think that she will remember when she gets older that we didn’t have that big party for her. It will be fun to have everyone here to celebrate and to make it special for her before the baby arrives.

    The girls are very excited about meeting their little brother, but I don’t think Kiley has any idea what she is in for. Unfortunately, as of now, the girls still won’t be allowed into the hospital when we are there, so they won’t get to see Connor until we get home. I think it will be the hardest thing for me to not see them for that long and for them to not be a part of the whole experience. I have been very upset about this, but I don’t think there is anything we can do at this point. They are not allowing any children in the hospital AT ALL until cold and flu season is over. Seems ridiculous to me, but what can you do.

    Well I hope you all can come see little Connor when he finally gets here! We are so excited to have him here to complete our family! I just can’t wait to see his little face! I still haven’t quite figured out what I am going to do with a boy, but I am sure we will figure it out! :) Thank you to all of you for your support! And especially a big thank you to our family that is all helping out with the girls while we are in the hospital!

    16 Days

    Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

    We have 16 days until Connor is here with us! We can’t wait! Beth and I have been stocking up on winter clothes and have one more Babies R Us run to make.

    Did you know it’s super hard to find fleece sleepers in the stores? They’ve already starting putting out spring clothes. We need to get a lot of little stuff like bottles, bath tub, bibs, etc. How quickly we forget about all the stuff a newborn needs!

    The hospital visitor restriction is still in place as we found out on Monday with Kiley’s test. This means the girls won’t be allowed in the hospital when Connor is born. It sucks! Hopefully, it will be lifted by the time we have him. We all know it’s to keep everyone healthy but boy does it stink that the girls won’t be able to see Connor until we bring him home. I think Beth is going to push to come home on Sunday instead of Monday knowing her.

    Tomorrow is New Years Eve and we will have a few friends and family over to celebrate. I love this night because it’s fun letting the kids do whatever they want for the night. Looks like John, Jill, Jake, Steve, Amber, Derrik, Mary, Mary’s Sister and their two kids will all be coming over. It should be a blast!

    Merry Christmas!

    Friday, December 25th, 2009

    Team Saip would like to take a minute and wish all of our Family and Friends a very Merry Christmas! This is our favorite time of the year and have had a great time thus far! The girls had a blast opening gifts from Santa this morning. Santa brought all sorts of fun stuff for them and they will be entertained for a long time!

    This afternoon we are headed to Aunt Lori’s house to celebrate with Grandma Debbie, Aunt Lori, Uncle Joe, Uncle Rob and Aunt Sandy. It’s should be a great time!

    I wanted to post some photos from the past few days as well. Enjoy!

    Christmas Photos!

    Friday, December 11th, 2009

    We took our family pictures on Monday and I wanted to post a few here while I had a minute. It’s been a busy week to say the least at work! This weekend should be a lot of fun. We have the AE Christmas Party tomorrow night and the Bears play the Packers on Sunday. I’m not sure if I should be really excited about the game because we’ve been playing so poorly but it’s always a big game against the Pack!

    Wishing you all a Happy Holiday!

    Christmas Decorations!

    Before the Tree was put up!

    Before the Tree was put up!

    We set up our Christmas Tree tonight and the girls loved it. I realized once the kids were in bed that I didn’t take enough pictures (which is a first). I only have one from before we started. It’s cute none the less. The girls are loving this time of year and it will be here before we know it.

    Before Christmas though is my 29th birthday! Yikes! For all of you laughing right now that I’m getting older, just remember you are either my same age or older! So, me turning 29 only means you are just as old or older :)

    Tomorrow we are heading to watch the Bears Game at Gold Class Theaters in Barrington with John and Jill. It’s free to get in and probably the best theater ever to watch a movie or a game. Allison and Donnie have been a few times this year and have loved watching the game there. I know, you wonder why we watch the Bears if they are this bad right now. We can’t give up on them and it’s a good reason to sit in the comfiest chairs ever!

    I’m not sure what we will be up to after the game tomorrow. I know that we still have some shopping to do before our family Christmas pictures are taken on Monday Night. I don’t think Beth knows what she is going to wear. After that, we will need to get our Christmas cards ready and sent out. It’s going to be really cool in a few years to see each years Christmas cards. The Osol’s hang each years Christmas cards in their living room and it’s always cool to see every year.

    Be sure to check out this awesome video of Kiley on the train at the zoo in St. Louis! We finally got her on film saying “AHHHHH BOOO!”

    Black Friday

    Friday, November 27th, 2009

    What a great Thanksgiving! We made it into St. Charles around 4:30pm yesterday and the girls did great in the car. We had great food waiting for us and the whole family was at Grandmas. We played a few games of Scrabble and had a great night.

    The Seilers had to take off a little early for their second thanksgiving dinner at the country club but we will get to hang out with Sammy and Tanner all day today. I know Ella and Kiley love playing with the boys.

    Ella is currently helping Grandma out with breakfast (animal pancakes)! She loves making animal pancakes and is now making a baby turtle. After breakfast, we are heading to the bowling alley so I can take Dad’s money. ;)

    After bowling, it’s off to Aunt Teri’s for dinner and movies. She always has something up her sleeve so I’m sure it’s going to be a ton of fun!
