Not much longer.....

Wow.. it is hard to believe that I will be 34 WEEKS pregnant this week... only 47 days until my due date! I am not counting down or anything. I am trying to enjoy these last weeks before Luke arrives. Noah seems very excited at the moment but I am not sure he really understands how things will soon change. I believe that he will do great and enjoy being a big brother. I guess the thing that is bothering me this time around is that I am not organized or ready for this baby. With Noah his room was ready and things washed and put away. Luke does not even have a room at this point which does not matter since he will be in our room for the first month or so. I keep putting things off and thinking that I have plenty of time... hopefully Luke does not try to come too early!
The basement is coming along .... Brian had a week off for spring break and manage to get a lot of work done. He only has 3 more weeks of school left and then will graduate on May 9th! He is very excited to be done with school and looks forward to finding a new job for the fall. We both look forward to the weeks to come... warmer weather (hopefully for good soon), graduation, a new addition to our family, and family vacation to the beach.

It has been a while since our last post.... I am really going to try and update more! ( I know I have said it before) Between the ice/snow storm and illness our house has been all but normal these days. We spent a week with Brian's parents while we were without electricity... we sure were thankful for having a warm palce to go. Noah loved every minute of it.. he thought we had moved in!! By the end of the week we were ready to get back home and get things back to normal.
Brian is student teaching at Kenwood Elementary for the first part of his last semester. He really loves it and loves working with the children. It is hard to believe that he will be finished with school in only a few months! The second part of his semester will be at a middle school.... we will see which he likes better?!Noah is currently fighting a respiratory infection and it sure has wiped him out. We are hoping he makes a turn for the better ... SOON!
Time sure is flying by... I can hardly believe that we have a new addition to our family in 3 months!! Where has time gone? My doctor appt. went well last week and I am waiting on the results of my 1 hour glucose test! I am hoping that I passed this time around... the 3 hr test is NO FUN! I now will be going for a checkup every THREE weeks. When she said she would see me in 3 weeks I guess it made me realize that this pregnancy is moving right along! I think with this pregnancy Noah has kept me busy and I really have not had much time to prepare or really think about how our lives will soon change! We can hardly wait but also have lots to do to prepare.... Brian is starting on finishing in our basement which is going to be a large chore!

We are excited to be having another healthy baby BOY! We had our ultrasound today and everything looked great which we are very thankful for! When we came home to tell Noah he was going to be having a little brother he was very excited... jumping around saying "i have a brother". He also says that he needs a sister so maybe we may have to try again but I am not sure any of the Aulick's are able to produce girls!! When discussing names... Noah shared that he likes the name "buzz". May will be here before we know it so there are many home projects that must soon be started!

It is hard to believe that Christmas is just NEXT week. For once I am almost finished shopping prior to the day before Christmas! We look forward to spending time with family next week. We are excited to find out on Wednesday if Noah will have a little brother or little sister. Our ultrasound is on Wednesday and we pray that he/or she is healthy. Thursday is Noah's Christmas program at school... his class is singing jingle bells and we continue to practice each day! Brian is finishing up his school semester this week. We are both happen that this semester is finally over!!! One more to go ..... Brian will be student teaching beginning in January after he returns from his annual trip to Las Vegas with his brother and dad. We hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season!

Happy Birthday Kelly!

Yesterday we celebrated Kelly's 35th birthday! As you can see from the picture.... 35 candles makes a lot of smoke! Kelly- I hope you had a wonderful birthday.... we love you!

Thanksgiving 2008

We have so much to be thankful for this year! Yesterday was a nice relaxing day spending time with family and of course enjoying some great food. We had lunch at Brian's parents house and Noah enjoyed spending time with his cousins, as he always does! After an afternoon nap for all three (well 4) of us we headed to Joel and Lee-Anne's for dinner. Our family keeps getting bigger all the time. Baby Matt is getting bigger everyday. We also celebrated Naomi's First Birthday since we were not able to be there with her in China to celebrate. She seemed to enjoy her Birthday cake. She is such a blessing to our family!

Welcome Home Naomi!

Welcome Home Naomi! What a blessing you are to our family!

Joel, Lee-Anne, Nate and Naomi made it home safe from China tonight and what a welcome home they got.... :) Naomi is beautiful.. and her smile is not like any other. I look forward to the near future and getting to know her more :) Noah can't wait to have a new cousin to play with. Today I also had my doctor appointment to check up on the baby. I was finally able to hear the heartbeat with out the use of an ultrasound .. just using the doppler. I was a little concerned because I had only gained 1 pound (2 total) but i am sure that has to do with not feeling well till now. The doctor said not to worry that I will gain the weight... and I am sure I will! We will find out what we are having in 4 weeks... the week before Christmas!
