Seriously! I admire all the bloggers that can get a post up more then.... once every 2 months!
December and January have been very busy months, as I know it is for everyone. I started preparing to open a childcare at home. On base, they require you to go through them to be certified, and they do all kinds of inspections. I have been watching Caryn's kids, but with them moving this summer, and with Oliver coming, I want to be able to open up to more families. It has been a long process, but I finally am fully open! I am so excited that I will be able to continue this job that I love and be home with Oliver.
Well, since I already ruined it, I forgot that I haven't shared his name on here yet! Baby Boy Stone's name is Oliver Lucas Stone. We LOVE it!!! (Obviously, since that is what we picked. Lol!)
My sister-in-law put on a wonderful baby shower in Bakersfield with our family! I am so grateful to be somewhat close to my family. Brian's mom was even able to be there on her way back from Christmas in Seattle! Caryn and her mom came too! I was excited for Brian's mom to be able to meet the rest of my family, and for everyone to meet Caryn, her mom, and the kids. They have all been such a great, supportive part of our lives, and will be an important part of Oliver's life too!
Caryn recently posted some belly pics on her blog HERE! She looks so great! I have loved being able to just hang out some evenings and feel Oliver moving around. Brian finally got to feel him moving around the other day! So exciting!
We had Caryn and the kids over for dinner this week. She was so helpful going over my list, and checking out some of my stuff to see what all we still needed. We were able to knock it all down to about 10-15 things still left, and a couple of those we have to see what Oliver likes (Bottles, formula, etc.)
My mom is coming this week! I can't wait to go through stuff with her, and start getting Oliver's room put together! I have been saving some of the organizing/setting up to do when she gets here!
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support! I am still in shock that we are almost to the end of this part! A whole new beginning!!!
