Flanagan Clan

Well, after months of searching for the perfect house, we finally found it and bought it! A beautiful 2004 Bellevue, WA palatial villa on 1.24 acres of waterfront for a cool $9 million might have been a little out of our price range, but we figured that since we plan to become millionaires and have a lot of kids anyways, it would be well worth it to have all the extra room. With 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a pool, spa, boathouse, theatre, sport court, playground, playfield, formal garden and private beachfront, we are definitely set for life! Now taking donations to pay off our new “steal”.

Here are some pictures:

It seems like Patrick had just gotten over his flu bug when, lo and behold, he caught a cold! On Tuesday I noticed he was congested and had a cough. Wednesday his cough was worse and he had a runny nose, and yesterday the runny nose was worse. Then, last night I began sniffling and sneezing, and I had a terrible sore throat. I ended up not getting very much sleep last night. I hate having a cold when I’m pregnant! This is the third one I’ve had since December, and by far the worst. It seems like I am always catching whatever sickness Patrick has, and Patrick catches whatever is going around at church. Andrew never catches anything! I think this is partially due to my immune system being low on account of the pregnancy, at least that’s what I read somewhere. I really hope I don’t have too many more sick days before August, because it’s miserable to be sick when you’re pregnant. Getting sick and being able to take no medication is one of the worst parts of pregnancy, right next to being told that one must cut down their chocolate comsumption due to the caffeine content!

I just wanted to write a quick entry to let everyone know that our new little baby appears to be in perfect health according to the sonogram we had today. If you’re interested in finding out the gender or the name of our new little one, send us an e-mail or give us a call!

Here’s a quick snapshot of what our new little one looks like! Pretty cute!

Yesterday I was working in the nursery during Sunday School, and we had 6 toddlers that were all within a few months of Patrick’s age, and one 5 month old little boy. Well, I was picking up the toddlers a lot, and Patrick didn’t seem to care. We had several very unhappy children! The baby was suppose to be trying to take a nap in the crib room. He didn’t want to go down, so after I while I went in and got him. I sat down on the rocking chair and began trying to rock him to sleep. Patrick saw this and IMMEDIATELY got very upset that his mommy had a little baby. He burst into tears and ran away. I was able to coax him into coming back to me and he buried his head on my lap and continued to cry and wimper. I have never seen him so upset about me holding other children before, but then again, I am usually holding toddlers and not young babies.

What are we going to do when the new baby comes?
