So I just got home from seeing the Midwife, everything is going great with the pregnancy so far. We were even able to hear the baby's heartbeat and it was such a reassuring sound. I am also going to schedule an ultrasound for next week so hopefully I will have some pictures to share soon!

James new hat! Hat is his new word too.

Today is James half birthday! That's right he's officially 18 months old! He's definitely starting to act more like a toddler too. Between the mimicking of everything anyone says or does, he's starting to test every limit set before him. He is picking up new words left and right, and signing 3 words!

Im working on uploading a few more pictures with me actually in them, but the computer is not cooperating. Ill also be able to send out another album soon. Hope everyone is doing well!

As most of you already know, the latest news for the Siller Family is that there is another Baby Siller in the making! Scheduled to make his or her appearance around September 20, looks like James will be getting a sibling for his second birthday. I am in week 10 of my pregnancy, so don't go getting any ideas about me. ; ) I still haven't been able to get to a doctor yet, but plan to get an appointment sometime this coming week. Please keep me and the baby in your prayers. Thanks everyone!

the "aud" in buffalo, ny

Well, miraculously.... we made it! So did all of our stuff! We're home in Buffalo, for a while and I really don't have any desire to take a trip anywhere for quite a while. We're alive and well, and I'm sure we'll spend the next several days trying to recover from Jet-lag so don't be surprised if there are no updates for a little while. I'm off to bed!

Here we are in Chicago... waiting for the last leg of our journey!

Soooo tomorrow is the big day, our final trip (at least for a little while). I am trying to get ready but I feel like the packing will never end. I have no idea how we are going to get everything and everybody to the airport. The vehicle we have is a Honda Accord and we have to fit 4 adults, 1 car seat + baby, and about 5 suitcases! We may end up strapping a big one to the roof. Traveling with a baby is soooo hard, they have so much stuff. The one saving grace this time is that I have my parents with me to help me get through the airports. Tomorrow should be an interesting day, and a very long one so I better get some sleep. Good Night!

Thanks for posting all these pictures, Rach. Keep them coming please. Add some more verbage too.
