We decided to start a blog in order to keep everyone posted on our family and our upcoming newest addition.
This morning, Jeremy, Noah, and I went to see my doctor and found that little Riley isn't so little after all. He is already measuring 9 lbs 5 oz and I believe it! I will be going to Wake Med on Thursday night to start the induction process. The plan would be to have the baby sometime on Friday. We do have his room ready for him and our bags are packed. Noah is so excited to see his little brother.
As for Noah, he will turn four on February 25th. I know, it seems just like yesterday that we were going through this whole process with him. We went to Target on Sunday and let Noah pick out a stuffed animal for Riley and I am sure Riley will love when he is old enough to figure it out. Noah has really taken an interest in football and trucks and he is very excited about his firefighter birthday party on Feb. 28th. He loves playing with all of his friends from the neighborhood and his school. He is certainly a momma's boy, but still loves to play with his daddy and tackle him with his NC State or Dallas Cowboy helmet on. We purchased a Wii several months ago and recently got him Mario Kart. The kid is addicted! He also loves playing on the computer, playing games on the Disney page. Noah has done very well at Kiddie Academy and loves both of his teachers, Ms. Nevada and Ms. Dana. He is certainly learning a lot and often surprises us at the dinner table with his sight words, number, and letters! We are so proud of himand he certainly amazes us! Over Christmas, he was so bored with Jeremy and I that he was begging to go to school, so I guess we weren't enough fun for him. He is also taking a soccer class at school and seems to really enjoy it. After his birthday, he will move up to the four year old room and we are a little bummed since he has done so well with his teachers. He will certainly enjoy moving up and seeing many of his friends that have already moved up. Noah will soon give up his role as the only child and share his house with his baby brother Riley. Noah is really excited and asks everyday when his brother will be here. He knows it is near his birthday so as we make birthday preparations he gets more excited. We will see what happens after Riley gets here!
Nothing to much is happening with mom and dad. Just preparing mentally for two little boys around our house (if you can really do that!). We are very excited but a little nervous as to just how this will all work. I am planning to stay home with Noah and Riley for about 6 months before returning to work so I have been busy getting everything ready at school. Jeremy gets 2 weeks of paternity leave at IBM but will still work from home some. We have spent the last month finishing up the nursery, painting the office red.. yes, wolfpack red, and trying to organize the garage a little more. It never ends. The baby room and office are complete. The garage is hopeless. Jeremy isn't the best organizer so it will have to wait on me!
We hope everyone gets a chance to meet Riley very soon and please wish us luck!

ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Thursday will be here before you know it. I'll pray that Riley will be just a little bit smaller... for your sake!:) I know everything will be just fine either way. I'll be thinking about y'all and can't wait to hear.
