It's a BOY!


I had my sonogram on Friday, January 18th, and it's a boy! We're so excited! He's very healthy, all of the measurements and anatomy checks were perfect. We feel so lucky to be expecting a boy. The picture above was taken on Friday, when I turned 18 weeks pregnant.

Lily's First Day of School

Well, we did it! I signed Lily up for Preschool. She started on January 8th. I was sooo nervous to leave her. We've never done anything like this before. Of course there were some tears on the first day, both from Lily and from me. But, we made it through. Lily's teacher told me that it couldn't have gone better. She was a little weepy for about 5 minutes and then she was fine. She participated in every activity and was a ball of excitement when I came back to pick her up. She wanted to show me everything about her school. It was wonderful!


On the second day, I expected a little bit of crying but I was totally wrong! As soon as we got into the classroom, Lily told me she wanted to paint and went to put the smock on right away. When it was time for me to leave, she just said "bye mom!" and that was it! What a big girl!!


Here are some pictures of Lily on her first day and some cute shots of Madeline too...

She's Walking!

Madeline is walking! A few days after Christmas, she started taking steps. A few days ago, we stopped counting how many in a row she's taken (it was over 20!). She can now walk for as long as she wants to, as often as she wants. It's really fun to see how excited she gets every time to walks to somewhere that she wants to be.




Yamini and Peter Visit


Over New Years, a good friend of mine from college, Yamini and her fiance Peter came to visit us. We had such a wonderful visit! I hadn't seen Yamini for 6 years! She's been very busy in medical school and her residency. It was so wonderful to have a nice visit. I'm excited for Yamini and Peter to get married this year and to start their life together.

Spaghetti Monster

We had spaghetti the other night, and I got these cute pictures of Madeline! Enjoy!
