Yes, it has been about 4 months since I have blogged! Not good since I like to put these blogs into books after the year has passed! So this year is going to look a little odd in book form! Oh well….not all books are well organized! :)
Due to our lives about to completely change, I decided I would jump back on and give it a shot! (Not to mention it is 2:30 am and I can not sleep!). With the title of this entry being ADDITIONS to the Ritvanen house, I guess I must expand on that! We have decided to remodel our deck! This is super exciting as we will be able to enjoy the outdoors a little more, no matter what the weather has in store for us. It will be covered, stamped concrete, a nice kitchen. There will be side rails and gates so that the girls can't just come and go as pleased as they do now. In the future this of course wouldn’t matter, but as of now, I’m not too thrilled that they are able to do this! I am definitely excited about the remodeling of the deck, however, with my THIRD fun pregnancy, I have not wrapped my brain around the greatness of it (as Heikki has)!. Im sure I will.
The much more rewarding and exciting addition to our family is of course Emma Kay! We will be welcoming her in less than 48 hours!! EEKS….little scary, but so exciting at the same time! We absolutely can not wait to hold her, kiss her, and see who she is going to look like! Mya and I were talking about this the other day:
Me: Well, she could look like you, Hanna, mommy, daddy, a mix of all of us….it will be so fun to see!
Mya: Or she could look like Bobo!
After quickly explaining to Mya that this would not be the case, she seemed quite relieved!
So how are the girls handling this new addition (that hasn’t even taken place yet?), hmmmm…..ummmmm, uuuuggghhhh…..(is about all I can say).
Both girls have become very clingy and whiney! And being 9 months pregnant with 2 toddlers hanging on every inch of my body while crying, it isn’t too calming!! I am hoping once they see Emma, all of their anxieties will quickly diminish and calmness will once again join our family!I am quite anxious as this day is approaching super fast NOW that it is almost over (however, it has seemed like my longest pregnancy with all of my issues). I am anxious due to delivering at a brand new hospital, a new dr (for me) , and of course all the other feelings that comes along with bringing a new little one into the world!
**Well, I was going to add a few family pics (of just the 4 of us), however, cant get images. Think if I would wake Heikki to tell him I need him to wake up so that I can finish my blog (doubt he would be too happy,as any right minded person would be) So I am thinking I will just add on next time I get on….which should be very soon!!
