Well in part, at least, let me recap what we have been doing at the Ilardo Manor Home!
December: Elijah (my second son) turned 4 on the 3rd of December! We had a joint party for Josiah and him in early November. The holidays came and went without most of our usual festivities due to my weariness BUT also my husband had double pneumonia for the whole month of December. He was pretty ill and very weak. Praise the Lord for healing him up!
January: Besides "normal" life this month and daily routines my husband celebrated his 37th Birthday on the 12th. We went out to eat at one of our favorite family restaurants: Red Robin.
February: Josiah and I worked on some unique Valentine Cards to pass out in his class. His hand, traced and cut a certain way that when opened it made a heart in the center. We included a Bible verse and some candy. On the 20th of this month at 20weeks pregnant I had the usual routine ultrasound and also found out what
we are expecting! 6 days later on the 26th my littlest man turned 1!!! A VERY exciting month.
I know we are in the month of March so I will blog another time regarding this month. Here are some photos to "talk" for my lack of details!

I am so happy for you. Little girls are so much fun. So are boys but I am excited that you will be having a little girl.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Congratulations on your coming blessing! She will be one of the most loved and doted-on girls ever with all those big brothers!
ReplyDeleteHey babe! Great posts! Love the pics even though I am a bit biased! Thanks for all the hard work of pre and post mommyhood, and being a great wife on top of it! All my love, your Michael
ReplyDeleteYAY! So happy that you are finally getting the baby girl of your dreams. Girls are so fun, you are going to have a blast doing all of those "girly" things. If you need ideas, give me a call. It's been awhile since I have had a baby girl in my house but I think I remember a few things. :) Love you guys!
