Wow, it really has almost been a month since I last wrote. I had my first dr. appointment on Nov. 28th and everything went very well. We have 1 heartbeat! Praise God!! What a beautiful miracle at only 6 weeks 5 days old there was a beating life in there. Makes me all teary eyed! My next appointment is the day after Christmas and I’m pretty excited. I hope by then we can hear the heartbeat with the doppler because I will be almost 11 weeks.
Josiah is changing so fast. So many new things he’s doing. He just learned stinky and when I say the word stinky he waves his hands around like as if waving the smell away. It’s really funny. He says “uh oh” and at the appropriate times. He’s obsessed with socks and I will find random socks daddy’s/J’s all around the house. He loves the dog and wants to give her lots of kisses. She doesn’t like kisses very much. Today, he gave me 3 real kisses for the first time with smacking his lips. I love it!!! Josiah got 2 UPS hotwheel sized trucks from grannie and grandpapa yesterday and he pushes them around and says “Rrrrrrrr….” He loves to eat. Boy! Does he! This boy seriously eats as much as I do and then wants my food too. He is a true Coronado.
We are going to be making it out to the west side in January and we’re so excited. Besides seeing our family we will be making stops at mexican food restaraunts, boba, and REAL donuts. Can’t wait for that Carne asada!!! Woo hoo. Anita may be able to get us tickets to the “O” show Cirque de Soleil at Belagio. I’m so excited I’ve never been to a show in Vegas. I’m also going to bring a couple quarters seeing how I’m finally 21 and can actually stand near the slot machines. Pictures will be up on here as soon as we’re back!
I finally got my Christmas cards out with an exception of a few with no addresses. But, this is the first year I’ve done cards so that’s exciting.
Richard has 2 more working days left of crazy Christmas season at UPS and he will be crawling home on Christmas eve. He’s sooooo exhausted! He’s done really well especially finishing up a college class during this season. He past his classes with A’s so we are sooooo happy. It’s good to know we are in God’s will for our lives.
So far we don’t have any plans for Christmas day but I think we were going to try to stay home and actually be together as a family and finally spend some time together. That should be awesome! Last night we went caroling at the nursing home with the church and Josiah at like 4 cookies afterwards! Tonight, we are going to an appetizer party at the associate pastors house. Saturday, we are going to the Smoaks (where J had his party) and they are going to do Josiah’s presents and cook us some boston butt! Sunday we were invited to the pastor’s for an annual chili party. So, we do have alot going on. We are very grateful to have so many people in our lives out here to love.
Well, I hope to update right after Christmas to post all of J’s cool presents and share anything else. To God be ALL the glory!
I know. It was his first and most likely his last. He won’t remember sitting around a table of linen and lace with necklaces and tiny finger foods on the table. But, it’s ok because he had a good time. You know why? Because, there was food! Oh ya! The boy loved the scones and the fruit cups, and the red velvet cakes. Atleast, he got to wear a camo hat for a bit!
