Singing In The Rain...

It's been raining here a lot so Jeff thought he'd make the best of it!! Ava put on her rain boots and Jack happily rain barefoot down the sidewalk! It was a mess to clean up but they sure had FUN!!

My Official Guess....

Well, I thought I'd officially put down in writing for everyone to see my guess for the sex of baby #5!! A BOY!! There's no turning back now and we won't know for sure until December!

Are there reasons I think it's a boy....YUP!! Let me first say I'm 4 for 4 and Jeff is 1 for 4!! Every pregnancy has been different so I'm not comparing too much to the others. I had an immediate gut feeling when I first found out I was preggers that it was a boy (had the same gut feeling for the rest of them), I'm craving salty things not sweets. Anyone who knows me knows I could have an iv of sugar running through my veins!! There's actually been a bag of M &M's in the pantry for days and I want NO part of them instead I'll make a ham sandwich for breakfast w/lots of cheese!! There was nausea but mostly just insanley exhausted. The nausea let up around 11/12 weeks and with Ava it lasted until 16 weeks, just sayin....

I could be completely wrong (Jeff thinks girl) but thinking I'm right again. I can't wait to meet this little guy/girl and find out for sure who will be the lucky baby to join this CIRCUS!! Boy or Girl they will be loved!!

Another trip to the hospital!!

Well Jack had another trip to Loyola's ER!! This time nothing serious! Jack was laying in our bed when he noticed a chocolate bar on my nightstand, he reached to get it and the marble on top of the table slid and then so did he slamming his cheekbone into the marble! OUCH!! Jeff and Poppy took him to the hospital to make sure it wasn't fractured and it wasn't! After it happened Jack was more worried about NOT going to the "hopital" then his face!!

So far no broken bones for the Solberg clan,....they're still young!!

Jack graduated from PreK-3!!

Jack is officially finished with PreK-3!! It's been a great year with a fantastic teacher and both mommy and Jack meeting new friends! Jack's teacher told me they hadn't had a kid that was so polite and helpful in a long time! I'm so happy with our choice to send him to Ascension! I think a small school is a great fit for Jack and I love that the parents are so involved with the school. It gives me a chance to really get to know the families of the kids he'll be going to school with for the next 10yrs!! It takes Jack a long time to really get to know someone, trust them and open up so going to school with the same kids will be great for Jack!

Mrs Palmer had all of the kids make flags for whatever Baseball Team they liked for the upcoming season. Jack refers to them as the Black team and the Blue team! He came home from school one day saying he made a flag for the blue team! I of course thought this was hilarious considering Jeff is a die hard Sox Fan as is most of our family (on my side atleast)! Well, when I told Jeff he immedietly informed Jack he was to like the Black team and even taught him "White Sox Rule, Cubs Drool" clever, I know!! I guess he was pretty upset about it because Mrs Palmer told me that he came into class the next day insisting he make another flag for the black team for their final sing on graduation day!! She of course let him and got a good laugh! She said she'd never heard Jack be so perisitant about something!! So on graduation day he proudly waved his Black flag when they sang Take Me Out To the Ballgame (only 1 of 3 kids who did)

Can't wait for next year!

Twins....8months/6 adjusted

Well, Johnny is still just sitting up and doesn't seem to be interested in crawling anytime soon but Miss Alexa will probably be crawling soon. Ever since Johnny could sit up (5mnths adjusted) he hasn't wanted to be on his belly much?? Well, Alexa can't sit up yet therefore is ALWAYS on her belly. She's been doing baby pushups and rocking back and forth on all fours!! I don't think anyone would've predicted that she would crawl first!! Race is on.....

Solberg....... Party of 7!!!

Surprise! Well, it was to us! We're expecting baby #5 December 29, 2010!! It's going to be rough with 5 under 5 but we seemed to manage pretty well with 4 under 4 so hopefully.....

This time we know we have to hire some help and I have no idea how to go about this??? The person will be with me most of the time so it needs to be someone that I can stand "hanging out with me"!! Thinking a college student here at Concordia since it's a teaching school there should be lots of girls to choose from??

Sitting up!!

Johnny has been sitting up for about 2wks now and both Alexa and John turned 6months May 17th (adjusted age) but turn 8 months on May 29th. So confusing but once they're 2 all that goes away, they should then be caught up to their peers. Alexa is not yet sitting up but is a rolling maniac!! She now too rolls until she hits something! Once they start crawling my life will be CRAZY!!!
