My Life as Mommy And Wife: September 2015

September Birthdays!!

My mother's birthday was on September 4th. We missed it because we were in NC, but she wasn't feeling well so we celebrated the next week. It was a great day and Ava was so sweet around her because she didn't see her for a whole week and she missed her!!

On Sept 17th was my dad's birthday! We headed over there nice and early so that Ava could spend time with him...which really meant so she could spend time with my mom lol. She still gives my dad the hardest time even though he spoils her so much.

OK. funny thing about these dates are Ava was born on 4/17 and my dad is 9/17. Now my mother is 9/4 and if everything goes as planned with my C-section and she stays put till then, Gabriella will be 12/4. I think its kind of funny how both my kids will end up with the same dates as my parents.

Frank's birthday was the 21st. We went over to celebrate on Sunday because he has been working nights recently so that was the only time we could see him!

this was the best because he blew out all the candles before the girls could lol

Last sunday was REALLY tough for me because I had my glucose test on monday so I wanted to eat as healthy as I could so I would pass with flying colors! haha Jokes on me I totally failed!!! BY ONE POINT. My sugar was supposed to be 90 and mine was 91 lol. So on Monday I'm going back for the 3 hour test. My mom will have Ava so I'll be able to read a book and relax a bit! Also my blood test showed that I will need one more transfusion before the c-section so I won't be weak afterwards. Of course I was flipping out on the phone, so the nurse made a joke saying "well at least you don't have HIV". I swear I was THIS close to hanging up on her lol. Only 10 weeks and 3 days left till baby gets here!

Princess Ballet

When we got back home it was time for Ava to start ballet school! We were going to put her in a ballet/tap class, but once I found out that there was a class where they could dress up like princess' all the time I knew that was the one for her!!

excited before class!

At the bar

In full princess attire!

sleepy after class!

She does so good going in to her class and following the directions that her teachers girl her. She's still a little shy when the parents come in during the last 10 mins but she is getting better. I'm so proud of her. I'm sure this can only help when she starts school next year!

NC 2015!!

This was a great vacation. It was nice to wake up every morning and only have one thing to do....get ready to go to the beach! We woke up nice and early on a saturday morning to head down. Of course even at 5 in the morning Ava was running around trying to pick an outfit that was just right. Oh and mother of the year...before we left I forgot to tell her to use the potty. Ava has a thing about public bathrooms. They have to be super clean and the toilets can't be loud. She FLIPS out when the toilet is loud OR if they have the hand dryers. She's a paper towel kind of girl. We made it down to Maryland before I realized she had to go. Pete of course picks the most shady looking gas station I have ever seen...so we were off to use the bathroom. It was GROSS, but there was only 1 bathroom in the whole building so she wouldn't have to hear someone else flush the toilet. It only took 15 mins to get her to go LOL. I wish she would've taken a nap on the way down, so I could have, but we just stayed up the whole time. When we made it down there to duck, we made our first stop to the gym so everyone who wanted to go could sign up. Pete signed up which was a waste because he went twice during the whole week. Let's just say whiskey and him do NOT mix!!
