Isabella is 7 weeks old already, it doesn't seem possible! Here is picture of little Bella smiling away :) She is also "talking" a lot (no surprise there!)

This weekend we put up our Christmas tree and finished decorating our house for Christmas. We were going to go to a farm and cut it down ourselves, but the closest farm is at least 45 minutes away, and we didn't want to be gone all day....so we went to the tree lot close to our house and picked out a tree. Norah really liked running around all the trees, but Isabella just wanted to eat, so we didn't stay too long.

We also played with Kaitlin, Natalie, and Anna at our house this week. The girls are getting much better at playing together, they didn't fight over any toy this week! :)

This weekend was Isabella's Baptism and it was wonderful. She did great during the Baptism and only began crying after it was over!

We also began decorating for Christmas this week. Here is a picture of Norah with her Christmas tree train, she would sit there forever if we let her! We're getting our Christmas tree this upcoming weekend, and it will be Norah's first experience in cutting down the Christmas tree! (It might be Isabella's first experience too if the weather is nice)

Today is Isabella's one month birthday :) She's working on moving that little head around and holding it up for small periods of time. She does pretty well at sleeping at night, but she has a fussy period for a few hours at night usually ending around midnight. It makes for a long evening, but at least she sleeps for 4 to 5 hours after that. She's a pretty active baby, I guess to keep up with her big sister :)
Elizabeth and Aaron (Brian's sister and our brother-in-law) got married last weekend and Norah was the flower girl. We were worried she wouldn't walk down the isle, but she did a great job and even threw flowers!
We're getting ready for Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the weekend with family. We have a lot to be thankful for!

We celebrated Halloween by trick or treating with Haley, Larry, their family, and my dad (my mom handed out candy at the Porter house). We were worried Norah wouldn't go up to houses, but once she saw that she got something in her pumpkin; she was ready to go! She did great and really liked the candy she got! We limited it to a few pieces, but now she has the taste for candy :)

Little Isabella is settling in as an Overberg, having fun sleeping, eating, and beginning to "talk" and move a bunch. Brian's kind of worried that she is already "talking"! :) She had her 2 week check-up and things went well. We found out that since she was breech, we need to have an ultrasound at 6 weeks to make sure there isn't anything wrong with her hips. If they can catch things now, the Dr. said it is much easier to fix at this age rather than wait until they are walking.




Isabella's cord fell off, so she had her first water bath. She wasn't too thrilled about the water, but hopefully she gets used to that :) Norah was very concerned about her baby sister and why she was crying, but luckily the bath was quick.

Thank you to all our family and friends for well wishes and all the gifts-we are very very thankful! Hope everyone has a great week!

Isabella Rose was born on Oct. 17 and our little family became a "little" bigger. We are blessed with two healthy daughters and, while tired, are loving every minute! Thank you to all of our family for helping us out this first week, and those weeks to come! :) Here are some pictures of our new family.

Only 4 weeks left :) We are definitely ready for babykins to come into the world! This weekend Brian and Norah put the crib together :) She loves helping out and Daddy was happy that she already likes tools!







Last weekend my dad and Brian worked on our family/dining room and finished the "last" big project we wanted to do in the house. (I say "last" because I'm sure we'll find something else! Brian scraped the ceiling (it used to have a popcorn finish), painted the ceiling, and the room. My dad wired boxes for a light above our dining room table and a ceiling fan in the family room. It looks great and now it's a lot cooler in that room!

End of Summer

We spent Labor Day Weekend enjoying the weather and spending time with family and friends. We had delicious food and lots of fun in the sun. Our little water baby will have to put away her water wings until next summer, but she had a lot of fun this weekend!




I'm also 33 weeks along this week. We set the delivery date for October 17, so little one will be here in 6 weeks :) Our crib came in, we (aka Brian) needs to put it together :) first. We have our room ready for the pack n play and I've started packing a suitcase in case little one decides to come early.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Perfect Weather Weekend

This weekend was beautiful in St. Louis-we had 85 degree weather!! We took advantage of the weather and visited Grant's Farm (so did the rest of St. Louis!) :)


Norah enjoyed looking at the goats, but we didn't go in and feed them. Some things are better at a distance!

We got to see Norah's favorite animals, the ducks! She was very excited about being so close to them.
Another favorite, the monkey's. I'm not sure if the moat is to keep them in their area or if they like to swim!

I have a baby appointment this week on Wednesday. We're pretty sure another ultrasound is coming up soon, so that is very exciting! This week is 29-30 weeks (mid week is the switch). Little Overberg is very active, moving around a lot-which is great :) I love feeling the little one move around, even though it hurts sometimes! I'm sure he or she is running out of room in there, so it's okay :)

I know we just posted a blog, but here are some more pictures that we haven't had a chance to post yet!


Here are some pictures from my mom's birthday lunch. We surprised her at a tea house for her birthday, it was a lot of fun and a big surprise!

My new sunglasses :) hehehe
The ladies in their styling shades! They were tempting not to buy! ;)

Here is a picture of little Overberg growing inside. This is me at 26 weeks. Getting ready for Little O #2 is slow going, but we picked out a crib this weekend and bought a double stroller this weekend too! We're still trying to pick out a girls name, so hopefully we have that picked out before October 24!!

Here are some pool pictures at Grandma and Grandpa Overberg's house. Norah loved the pool and had a lot of fun handing the toys back and forth!!
We went to the pool today and our little sun and water baby loved it! She even laid on her tummy to kick her legs!
