What's been going on!
Sunday, the whole fam damily came over! I had no idea.. it all just kind of developed as the morning went on. I woke up AFTER Steve did... got Maddie changed & fed.. then thats when I hear them... the boys. Ethan & Ryan are playing Wii. Well, its more like fighting over who plays the Wii first. So I go downstairs (still havent brushed my teeth or washed my face yet) and Jenn & Jim were out in the garage with Steve & his parents. Okay. Cool.Then thats what I smell it, boiling water. It just has that smell ya know? Okay. Cool. Someones cooking.. Im hungry. Then Kristina calls and shes only minutes away!
Wow... Talk about a full house!
Steve, Me, Maddie, Jenn, Jim, Ryan, Ethan, Taylor, Kristina, Kaitlyn, Caleb, Dana & Butch!
We ended up having hot dogs and mac n cheese :) Who doesnt love hot dogs and mac n cheese!! Thats what I thought.
Maddie & Kaitlyn were having a good ol' time in their high chairs! **Taylor was complaining that she couldnt get on facebook, so we showed her how babies do facebook!

After everyone left, around 4 or so... I was FINALLY able to pass Maddie off to Steve so I could take a shower. Dont get me wrong, I love all of my family... but Id just rather have a shower before I see everyone! Haha!
Monday, my nephew was born. Ethan Tilino Gray. I woke up to Steve telling me Michellei was 4cms dilated and on her way to labor and delivery! Steve headed to work but decided to take a half day, so we could be there for Jesse at the hospital. She wasn't in labor very long and around 4:20pm, Ethan was born! Maddie was there to meet her new cousin. :)
I am so proud of Jesse for keeping it together while his girlfriend gave birth to his first born, a son.

Tuesday, this is what I woke up to in the kitchen.
Steve's parents dogs had gotten into the pantry and destroyed 2 brand new loaves of bread!
So that prompted me to sweep the entire kitchen, clean the counters, the stove. I dusted the whole downstairs living room and sprayed down all the furniture with WonderPet.
It smelled AMAZING down there :)
And I felt accomplished.. even though I had already cleaned our bathroom, upstairs living room, bedroom and gotten a good amount of laundry done.
Being productive is so much better than lounging on the couch. I just need that little umph of motivation from time to time... or, one of the greatest inventions..
5 hour energy!

Wednesday, today.. I had planned to go visit Ethan and my Nanny, but Im not feeling so good today. I definitely think Im catching something.. and I really dont want to pass it to my baby, let alone a newborn! I could tell Nanny was disappointed when I told her. She even called me back to tell me she had bought me a Moby Wrap.. trying to entice me to feel better I think. Shes so silly.
More to come...
