For some of you this will be a repeat received over e-mail...but, since I don't have a lot of time and wanted to get the news out there, I thought I would just reprint the e-mail. Here it is:
Matt and I wanted to write to share with you all the many crazy things going on in our life. First, Kyrie turned 18-months old last week. Second, we are moving. And third, Kyrie is going to be a big sister!
Kyrie had her 18-month doctor appointment today and she is now 33-inches tall and weighs a little over 23 pounds. Which puts her in the 75th percentile for her height and the 25th for her weight. Dr. Grunske was impressed with her vocabulary and her sleeping habits, and was shocked at the amount of energy she displayed in the short amount of time we were there. Kyrie received 2 shots, which we basically had to pin her down to receive. It was heart-breaking, as usual. Afterwards, I, like any horribly-guilt-ridden-post-traumatic-doctors-apointment-stressed-mother, got Kyrie an ice cream cone, and proceeded to eat about 80% of it myself. Hey, she doesn't need all that sugar. :-) My baby has truly become a toddler in the last 6 months and has never been more fun.
We decided that it was time to move a few weeks ago when we found out that Greenfield Ave is going to be under construction next Spring. Our original plan was to move next Fall, but we decided that it might be in our best interest to sell the house now and not have to show it mid-construction. We found a wonderful house in Brookfield and will be just North of Capitol and West of Calhoun. Very close to St. Dominic's, Stonewood Village, and Pick N Save, amongst other things. The house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a living room, family room, dining room, and sun room. It is going to be a lot of space for us! We will close on December 2nd - just in time for the holidays - and cannot wait to share it with you all. (You can take a
virtual tour online)
We have not sold our house yet, but it has only been on the market for a week. If you know of anyone looking for a 2 bedroom, 2 full bath house, with a large master bedroom and kitchen in New Berlin, please send them our way! (262-827-8984)
Finally, yes, you read that right - we are pregnant. Kubla Kons (just a pre-birth nickname), is due May 3rd, 2006, which puts us just shy of 10 weeks along. Kyrie and Kubla will be about 25 months apart. We realize it is a tad bit early to be sharing this news, but as we are on our second child it seems that I am going to be wearing the maternity clothes a bit earlier this time around - like tomorrow. With all of the other craziness going on in our lives we haven't had much of a chance to think about how we are having another baby! But, we are really excited....somewhere in there amongst all of our nervousness, stress, and denial. At this point, we don't think we will find out the sex of the baby - enjoyed not-knowing with Kyrie - but if we change our minds at the 20-week ultrasound, we will definitely let you know! Some of you may not know Matt's brother, Mark and his wife, Carrie, are also pregnant, due late March, so this baby will have two cousins and a sister all pretty close in age. Very exciting!
