steph is doing great...baby shower planned for the 23rd....heck kyan might even be there. LOL she says she has a feeling he WILL be a july baby...i keep telling her it be the 25th (her birthday) she sais she has a feeling it be on the 28th....dont know why she just does. steph and kyan both are growing, and progressing according to normal....both doing great....cant wait to see my little buddy soon.

FYI - we are scheduled due august 13th.

TheOaf66 replied: hey congrats on the house and the job and such, I often feel like I don't have anyone who I can really talk in depth with either but I chime in when I can, well keep up the good work and good luck in the home stretch of PG

BAC'sMom replied: Glad that you finally checked in…I was wondering where you had been. I am sorry that you feel you don’t fit in around here these days. There have been times that I have not felt warm fuzzys, during those times I just take a break too. Congrats on your new job and the transformation of your new house. Sounds like things are starting to wind down and your bundle of joy will be here before you know it. Keep us posted about Steph and Kyan.

Mommy2Isabella replied: YAY! Glad to hear about everything! I am SUPER glad you guys are DOING GREAT! Ya, we have been having some issues and I have been having CONTRACTIONS so, Isabella is due to make her apperance ANY DAY NOW! So, we will see what happens. Sal said thursday is a good day for him ... LOL I still think she is going to come on the 23rd or the 30th of July ... the doctors seem to think I won't make it until August either ... which is good news to me, because I AM MISERABLE!!

Ya Sal has been pretty busy with some things around here lately and taking care of me in my HUGELY PREGNANT state, he doesn't post much anymore ... but we will be in touch with you !!

C&K*s Mommie replied: Congrats on getting work done on the house, and progressing with that.

ZandersMama replied:
That seems like cutting it close to the due date! good luck with whatever you decide to do.

J-rod replied:

coaching be great....good $ for a few months of work....but i dont want to be that busy....steph is ok with it and actually excited...i love soccer..i miss it....and i had always wanted to coach....so...i got the job...but its up to us to accept or decline.


we are actually thinking Kyan will be coming very very soon...from the way she been feeling lately. Dr. appt. friday.

salmndr007 replied: J,

Congrats on the job...I know you have been hoping and praying for that for a while. Glad to hear that the baby and mommy are progressing as planned. Give me a call sometime. My planner was taken out of my car last night so I really don't have many numbers anymore. I'll be back on later today...we'll chat!
