I decided to start a blog of my own after reading Ali's blog over the past few weeks. I think this is such a fun way to stay connected with the family even though I may be miles and miles away.
As you all know, we are expecting our second child August 7th. We have decided on naming him Owen Anthony Charles Schieber (Anthony and Charles coming from Jason and my grandfathers).
We are very excited for Owen's arrival. Everything is ready to go, including me! Let me just tell you how DONE I am with this pregnancy thing. Each day my stomach gets bigger. My feet are so swollen, Jason calls me the "Michelin Man". And in order for me to try to keep the swelling down I have to drink tons of water, which means I have to use the ladies room every 5 minutes...and that is no exaggeration! On top of all of that, it has been in the high 90's with horrible humidity and I am extremly homesick!
I'm trying to remain positive. I keep reminding myself it's almost over. I only have 14 days of work left...so that keeps me going.
This weekend should be a lot of fun. I have made plans for a "girls day" for Taylor and I tomorrow. We are going to get our feet done and do a little shopping.
Tomorrow night we are going to a BBQ at our neighbors house. Then Jason has plans to set off fireworks. Fireworks are illegal in N.C, so every year we drive down to S.C to purchase them. This has become a Schieber Family tradition. The fourth of July is Jason's favorite holiday, and since we won't have the chance next year to do this because we'll be on our way home....Jason went a little crazy and purchased more fireworks than usual. He really wants to make this 4th memorable for Taylor. I'll post some pictures of the festivities this weekend.

Well, I originally typed a comment that could have been turned into a book, (rather lengthy), but this one will be short.
I love this blog...It keeps me current with what everyone is doing or not doing. What a great idea!!!!
HI TAYLOR....I LOVE YOUR PICTURES. LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE HAVING FUN WITH A SPARKLER AND LAZING AROUND WITH DAD. DO YOU WANT TO COME TO NANA'S NEXT WEEKEND TO SWIM? OF COURSE, YOU CAN COME ANYTIME YOU WANT. LET ME KNOW. I LOVE YOU, TAYLOR!!! FROM NANA
Sounds like you are going to have a fun weekend. I have been taking care of the neighbor's dogs all this week. They are due home on Sunday (Yea!!!) The dogs are cute, but I have been going over there 4 times a day (per instructions from the neighbor) Oh, well, it gives me something to do.
Hang in there Alicia!!! I have been there, twice to be precise, so I understand how you are feeling. Keep a check on your blood pressure, put your feet up and, well, you know what to do. Take care of yourself. Looking forward to Owen's birthday.
I love the pictures...This is great and I am sure the Duddleson, Schieber and Scribner families will love it as well. What a great way to keep in touch. Love it, love it.
I look forward to more postings on the AJTO SFB. I will keep my phone charged and on at all times. Call me anytime.
Love you all,
Nana/Mom/Connie/Me
Just a question, Am I supposed to have any follow up comments sent to me? I checked it because I didn't know. I can uncheck it if I am supposed to. I obviously don't understand how all this works, but I can type!!!
