OUR BABIES!!

I know how terrible I am at this blogging thing, but I thought it was about time to add some updated pictures. Brandon is 4 and Sarah is almost 7 months!! They are so precious together and love each other so much! We are very blessed to have these two sweet babies!

Halloween 2009...Sarah was not very happy about getting her picture taken.

My sweet baby girl sleeping so good.

When we were in the hospital Brandon was so sweet and brought me these flowers he had picked at Nana's house for me! He is such a sweet boy and was missing his momma.

We are doing good and Sarah is definitely growing more and more each day. I am really enjoying being off of work and being at home with them!!!

BABY SARAH!!!

Sarah Kaylyn is Here

Sarah Kaylyn arrived on Monday at 714AM. She is 8lbs/7 ounces and 20 inches long and beautiful!!! We are so thankful for our baby girl. Brandon has done really good with her and absolutely loves her. We came home on Thursday and we are just trying to get into some kind of routine, but I know that will take a while. I had a c-section and I am recovering well. I will post some pics very soon!

Summer Fun

Being so silly!

My sweet, silly boy!

Enjoying the fourth of July!

Brandon loves to help me cook!! Anytime, I am cooking he wants to help and he so proud to be my helper. Hopefully, he will be a better cook than I am.

Brandon's favorite thing this summer was SWIMMING! He loves the water and did really good trying to swim. He also took 6 weeks of swimming lessons at the Y and loved it.

This weekend Michael played in a softball tournament in Montgomery, so we got to stay in the hotel and swim at their pool. It was a hot, but relaxing weekend!

37 Weeks

Well, here I am at 37 Weeks, and I still have 2 more weeks to go! We can't wait to meet baby Sarah.

My little baby is growing up, I cannot believe how big he is getting. I feel like he changes everyday and he is so smart! It is amazing what they know at this age. He definitely pays attention to EVERYTHING you say. He is very excited about baby Sarah and I just know he will be such a great big brother. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and I am not dilated or anything, Sarah is very content for now. She will be here on October 19, so we only have 18 days! This pregnancy has flown by, keep us in your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery!

27 WEEKS

Me and Brandon at 27 Weeks. I have really grown and I feel like I am growing more and more each day. It is funny how you wonder how you'll get any BIGGER, but you know how much more you have to stretch by the end. I have been measuring right on time with her, so that means we have 11 weeks left. The plan is to do the c-section one week before my due date. We are very excited and can't wait to meet her!

Baby Update

I went to the doctor last week and baby simonetti is growing and measuring right on time for October 25th. I did fail my 1 hour glucose test but then passed my 3 hour! That glucose is horrible to drink and makes you feel like crap, but I am so happy and thankful it turned out ok. I will now start going to the doctor every two weeks! Time is really flying by so we are trying to get the baby's room ready. The baby's name will probably be..... Sarah Kaylyn Simonetti! Doesn't that sound cute. She is very active and is definitely growing like a weed! Brandon is getting more and more excited and asks every time I go to the doctor if she is coming out today. He is so cute and I love listening to everything he says. I have some pictures I need to post so hopefully those will get up soon, I will also try to post one of the baby's ultrasound pictures. I hope everyone is having a great summer!

What a Handsome, Sweet Boy!!!

Brandon and Michael were in Michael's cousin's wedding in Louisiana in May. Brandon did a great job walking down the isle with the flower girl. I was not sure he would do it but he did great and looked so handsome in his tuxedo. Michael was one of the groomsmen and looked so handsome too, I think Brandon just liked looking just like his daddy.

Here I am at 21 weeks!!

I cannot believe I am over half way through this pregnancy! I am feeling good and definitely starting to grow faster now. Baby girl is very active and I just love feeling her move around, it is so amazing. I go to the doctor next week for my 22 week visit. Finally a picture at last... especially for my sweet brother because I have not seen him since March. He lives in New york and worked in Italy/Paris for a month in May.. We definitely miss him and I know he misses being here, but he will definitely be here before the baby comes in October. So get ready Brent I will NEED some help. We love you Uncle Brent!!

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We found out today that Brandon will be having a baby sister!! We are very excited! My due date is still Oct. 25th and we are planning on doing another c-section about a week earlier. We got lots of pictures of the baby today and can see head, feet and hands, and she was moving all over the place. Brandon is excited and talks about the baby all the time. So far, we do not have a name so hopefully we will soon. I will update more soon and put pictures up!

Other Pictures

These are some of our easter pics!! We had a wonderful easter, Everyone came over to our house, we had a delicious dinner and an easter egg hunt. I hope everyone had a good easter.

More of Brandon's birthday pics!

Well, today I am 17 weeks pregnant and I cannot believe how fast it is going by (right now at least) We are going back to the doctor on May 27 to find out if its a boy or girl!! I cannot wait so that we can start planning and getting the baby room ready. Brandon is adjusting well right now and asks a lot of questions. He is always wanting to hug and kiss my belly and he likes to know what the baby is doing. My belly is starting to poke out now and I am looking pregnant so I will post some pics soon! Please keep us in your prayers for a fat healthy baby!

Brandon's Birthday Party

I know I am a little behind on this post, but these are the pictures from Brandon's 3rd birthday party. We had his party at the park and had so much fun. It was relaxing and the kids just played and had a great time. Brandon was worn out after all that fun. Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us! Brandon is definitely growing like a weed and learning something different all the time. He is such a great helper and such a sweet boy, we love him more than anything!!

BRANDON IS.......

going to be a BIG BROTHER!!! SUPRISE! I cannot believe Brandon is going to have a brother or sister. We are very excited that we will be adding a new addition to our family!!! I am 8 weeks right now and our due date is October 25th! So far, I have some nausea. Drinks seem to make me nauseated the most so for now I am sticking with apple juice and water, sounds delicious doesn't it, but it is better than throwing up. I go back to the doctor on March 31 so I will post more details soon. Hopefully we will find out if its a boy or girl in april/may, we definitely do not care either way we just want a fat healthy baby!



Brandon is turning 3 next friday, on march 20th and we will have his party on saturday! I am very excited, I love planning his party and getting everything ready for his special day. We are so blessed to have such a sweet precious boy We just love him more than anything in the world and I thank God every day that I am his mommy. There is nothing in the world better. Right now he loves playing with all kinds of animals, he has a bucket full that go in the bathtub every night! He loves trains and trucks and playing outside. We are going to get him a swing set for his birthday this year so hopefully he will love playing on that. We go to the doctor for his 3 year checkup so I can't wait to see how tall he is and how much he weighs. I will post pics next week of his party and I hope every one has a great week!!

Zachary Aaron Simonetti

Michael's brother Vic and his wife Kristen had their first baby boy on Saturday March 7th! He weighed 7 lbs 12 ounces and is 20 1/2 inches long. He is so perfect and precious and Brandon LOVESSSSSS his baby cousin. He is constantly asking about him and when we are around him he has to be holding him. I was so proud of the way Brandon just took to Zachary and loved him at first sight!!! We love having our first nephew too. He will definitely be spoiled in this family! I have to tell the story of how she went into labor! Michael, me and Brandon and kristen and vic went to eat at Sumo's on friday night. We were just about finished eating when Kristen stood up and said "Leslie, something just gushed out!" I said "huh" and We ran to the bathroom with brandon holding on to one arm and Kristen on the other. We went into the bathroom but were still unsure of what happened all of a sudden Kristen's water broke in the bathroom and she was soaked. We still had to walk out of the bathroom with many people seeing what was going on, as we walked out we had people cheering for her and vic!! It was so funny, she was so calm through the whole thing and I was so proud of her and Vic. So, off to the hospital we headed and zachary was born at 740 in the morning on Saturday. I know she will not forget this experience and neither will we, it was definitely exciting!!
