So the resolution for this year is to maintain my blog so that I post more than twice in one year.
Since I was so slack last year, here's a quick recap of 2006....
It’s been an exciting and busy year for us. Matt started the year off working in Oshawa, Ontario. Both the travel and job got to be a bit much. Luckily, Matt was offered a job at Fanuc Robotics in March (a company that Matt originally worked for about 10 years ago). His new job did not involve nearly as much traveling and most of his projects were in the Detroit metro area. Tamara was still working on her special assignment with Steel shortage issues at GM in Pontiac until May when she finally started the position she was hired for in Michigan. She is enjoying working on material investment and feasibility studies for potential future vehicle programs.
We were very excited to find out in June that we were pregnant. There were still some reservations about the pregnancy as we had both been through an emotional 6 months after two miscarriages. Imagine our joy when we not only saw one, but two heartbeats at the first ultrasound in late June! We were referred to a perinatologist at Beaumont Hospital to monitor the pregnancy as it was considered high risk because the babies were in the same gestational sac. The doctors were also concerned because they thought the babies were also sharing an amniotic sac. The next ultrasound provided great relief because even though they were sharing a placenta, each baby did have their own amniotic sac – much less risk! As many of you already know, we have found out that they are definitely identical boys. The official due date is February 17th, but I am currently on bed rest in the hopes that I can hold off having the babies until at least week 34 (January 7th).
There's been many big house projects this year especially in the last few months to try and get any major rennovations finished before the babies arrived. The things that are finally done…
- New Roof
- New windows and sliding glass doors
- New siding and gutters
- New garage door
- New hardwood floors in entry, dining room and kitchen
- Doorway from garage to kitchen moved with new door installed
- New electrical wiring in garage (Great job, Matt)
- Stripped the deck – amazing how it looks like new
- Tiling in laundry and downstairs bath
Now we just are getting for the biggest change of our lives....two babies!!!!
