Baby Ashlyn Update!



All is going well in the Curtiss household...patiently awaiting the arrival of little miss Ashlyn Sommer! Bob is getting very excited and has been shopping for her very first pair of baby pink Jordans! Too cute! Austin helped me the other day arrange and organize her closet. Everything is ready,...crib, craddle and for the most part her room. We are still waiting for the gliding rocking chair that grandma had purchased for us, should be coming any day now! I hope to go on maternity leave soon...not sure yet as to when that will be. I am thinking sometime around the 17th. I had a few baby showers and I am very thankful for all of my wonderful friends and thoughtful gifts,.thank you! That little girl will be pretty stylish! Head to the doctor tomorrow, Bob is hoping to come as well as they will be doing an ultrasound to make sure all is okay. We had some pre-term labor issues a few weeks back and now my doctor just wants to keep an eye on things are progressing. I really don't think I will make the full 5 week mark but we'll see! You just never know! That's all for now!

We have a name!


Well as many of you already may know we have finally decided on a name for our daughter! We wanted something unique and not too common. We decided to give her my middle name as we wanted her to have something special from me. The boys were very helpful and came up with many suggestions such as Amanda, Candice, Katelyn, Cadence just to name a few. However the name we chose was neither of those...we have decided on Ashlyn Sommer Curtiss! We love it and it was really the only name that Bob and I actually agreed on!

We had our 28 week check up on Monday and all looks great! I am happy to report that I passed the diabetes test however my iron level is a bit on the low side. Apparently baby is taking a lot of blood!! Nice! So it just means I need to take more IRON! YUM! Only 12 weeks to go!!

It's a GIRL! (And we've moved!)


Hi there, it's been a while since my last posting. I am still trying to get use to this whole blogging thing. We've been pretty busy with moving which has been taking up most of our time. We are still living in Oregon City, however just moved to the other side of town. They boys will be attending a new school in the fall however finishing out their year at Mcloughlin. So far the boys like the new place, still unpacking their rooms and that could very well take them a while as they are easily distracted with their new surroundings. =) It's all coming together, it's just going to take time as I don't move as fast as I use to these days. Too bad I just can't snap my fingers and be done with it!

Most of you already know as we have shared with most of you by now, that we are expecting a little girl in July. We are pretty excited, and no we have not decided on a name just yet. We have some ideas going but nothing that really jumps out at us. We are open to ideas so feel free to share! Bob keeps thinking of car names,...go figure! hehe

Well that's all for now. We'll post some updated pictures of the house once we get a little more unpacked!!

Curtiss Family 2009


I am the mother of 2 wonderful boys, Austin and Connor and wife to my wonderful hubby Bob! We've been married over 10 years now and recently was surprised when we found out we are pregnant with our third child! I am 4 months and 1 week along and we hope to find out the sex of our baby on March 5th.

Back in September we sold our home to my sister Shannon and her husband Matt and after months of searching found the right home for us. We will continue to live in Oregon City however the boys will unfortunately have to change schools.

On Thursday this past week I had my regular doctor check up and was asked to help them test out their new ultra sound machine, so of course said yes! Any reason to get another glimpse of the baby is just fine with me. The boys were with me that day so they got to see the baby for the first time too! They thought it was so neat and couldn't believe how developed the baby was. The doctor tried to find out the sex however I told her I didn't want to know since Bob wasn't there. So we are waiting three more weeks. We'll see if my feeling is correct!!
