2011

Wow, it's been over a year since I last posted. That year went by way too fast! Exciting things are happening at the Coniglio Household. We are expecting baby #2 in late October, a little girl that will be named Aubrey Marie. We are so excited for Joseph to have a sibling and to be a Big Brother! He’s going to do great….we hope. If you ask him what his sisters name is, he’ll tell you “Aubey” and he knows that she’s in mommy’s tummy. Last night the baby was moving and kicking a lot so I had Adam come upstairs to feel. She did a nice big kick for Dad, which was pretty cool. Then Joseph blew bubbles on my belly for about 5 mins. I had to practically pull him off to stop, I guess my squishy belly is fun to play with. She stopped moving for awhile after that, she was probably wondering what the heck was going on. She then started back up as I was laying down for bed, it felt like she was trying to exit her living space feet first! Not the most comfortable feeling, I just moved around a bit and she stopped.


I feel like so much needs to be done at our house to prep for baby #2. The spare room is just that, a spare room for dumping “stuff”. Toys need to be sorted and closets need to be cleaned out. I plan on making her bedding set if I can find fabric that I love. I’ve seen many I like but nothing I love so far. So I am keeping my eyes peeled. I’ve been doing a lot of sewing and just patched together a blanket for her but still need the back. I’m not sure what color and fabric I am going to use for it just yet.
We were looking into possibly buying a bigger house but it’s not the right time for us. We have looked but nothing suits us. On the other hand my mom and step dad are buying a new house and we are very excited for them! It’s just around the corner from where we live now. If you don’t know my mom lives across the street from us. It’s got a very open floor plan and nice size back yard. I can picture Joseph running around with the dogs and pointing out where all the poop is. He’s usually on poop patrol at their house now. Anyway, we aren’t buying a new place just yet, we’ll wait until we find the right place, for the right price with the right amount of space. We want a house that we will live in for a long time to come. We want a house that when our babies come home from college they are coming “home”. So it may take awhile to get to this dream but we will make it happen.

I am currently 21 weeks pregnant. Only 19 or less weeks to go. I just can’t believe that the time has flown so quickly. Joseph keeps us busy and we try to make sure that we do fun things with him, especially with summer here. I’ll be taking some much needed time off in July and plan to take Joseph to Sea World, the beach, the zoo, and whatever else we feel like. Monster Trucks come to the Del Mar Fair on July 1st so we will also be doing that. That is where Joseph’s original love of Monster Trucks came from. Lots of fun stuff this summer and lots to look forward to in the months to come.
