Can you help?

I have a question for anybody out there who might be able to help ... do you know anybody that does in-home child care ... who lives somewhere near where we are?! We had two "potential" sitters that both looked promising, but it turns out that neither one of them are going to work out :( We are so sad ... and now I am getting really nervous! If you know of anybody, please pass on some info!

On a more positive note, we just ordered our baby furniture and bedding collection :) I cannot wait until it comes in so that we can set up the room! It looks like Erik might be re-painting pretty soon :)

Welcome to our blog!

Well, I am going to make another attempt at "blogging"! I pretty much failed miserably at my last attempt, but this time ... I promise to update! We have been super busy here at the Baratie house, as usual! Jenna is off to a great start as a 4th grader, she loves school and everyday we say that we cannot believe how grown up she is! School and gymnastics keeps her pretty busy. She is practicing 12 hours a week ... and still comes home and wants to jump on the trampoline or do gymnastics off of the furniture! She truly loves it!

Baby Baratie is growing away ... and mommy is starting to be able to feel him/her moving around! I am 18 weeks and 3 days ... and am feeling great! The only thing is that by 8:30 at night, I am ready for bed! Baby Baratie went to his/her first Buckeye game this weekend and got to see the Buckeyes "shut out" Illinois! It was a rainy game, but luckily our seats were in "B deck" so we were nice and dry. :)

Well, it's after 8 pm ... time for a shower and then I'm off to bed!
