Block Party Fun

Yesterday marked Maple Terrace's first ever block party. We all had a blast hanging outside all day, it was so nice to have the road closed so the kids could play in the streets without the adults having to worry about cars darting down the street. The Wauwatosa Fire Department made a special trip over so th kids could explore the fire truck. I think this was the hit of the party. The kids also enjoyed the fathers vs. girls vs. boys scooter race, which the boys won and the frozen t-shirt contest. We were all pooped by the end of the night.

Today we had our second prenatal visit. Not much new, we listened to the baby's heart beat on the doppler...whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. That will be one of the only things we will do at our appointments until our 20 week ultrasound. All else is going well in the Gissibl househould. This weekend we picked up a pack-n-play at a rummage along with a few used tvs for the house. Have a great week everyone!

New Family Addition!

Hello all, I hope you are all excited about our upcoming babe as we are. Matt and I are due on February 5th and we all couldn't be happier. Kodi and Eden are already making plans for when the baby comes, they both want a little sister.

I have been a bit tired, but creating new life definitely is an exhausting task. I had my first bout of "mourning sickness" this past week as I hit week 10 of pregnancy, but I am hopeful it will only be that one day :D (a gal can hope right!).

Here is our first ultrasound photo (from week 6). At that appointment we saw our little babe's heart beating so that was definitley exciting. As you look at the photo, our little peanut is the circle on the left side of my "smiley face" uterus.

Family Fun Week

Welcome to the Gissibl Family Blog! B will be using this blogger site so you can better stay in touch with our family in Milwaukee.

Have fun and enjoy!

This photo was taken this winter when we had our family fun week in Wisconsin. We started the week off at the Wisconsin Dells with the Jorgenson family, where we celebrated Eden and Grandpa Jim's birthdays. From there Matt, the kids and I headed up to Wausau for some downhill skiing, movies, and more famiy fun!
