15 Month Check-up

2009-10-29T05:47:00.001-07:00

Addy had her 15 month check-up yesterday. She did not have a good time! She got 3 shots and blood taken. :( The doctor said her iron levels have not come up at all despite vitamins and yogurt with iron added, so we now have to add iron drops in addition to these things. They smell and taste horrible, so that is going to be a challenge. Everything else went fine though. Addy is still very petite, but is developing right on track. Here are her stats:

Length - 28 1/2 inches (5th percentile)
Weight - 18.5 lbs (below 5th percentile)

Hope you like the photos. Addy is not a fan of the Dumbo costume my friend Bonnie let me borrow....I guess she will not be Dumbo for Halloween!

Ear Tube Adventure

2009-10-15T13:02:00.000-07:00

Today Addy got her ear tubes, and it has been quite a day! The day started at 3 am when she woke up wanting milk. She could not have anything to eat or drink after midnight, so it took me about an hour to get her back to bed with no milk. We headed to the surgery center at 6 am. She did great there. She went back to the OR around 7:30, and was done in no time. We were on the road back home by 8:15 am. Then the craziness began. She projectile vomited 7 times on the way home. I had to keep pulling over to make sure she was alright. She was really crazy when we got home. I guess the anesthesia did not agree with her at all. It took about a half hour to calm her down. I also had to strip her and wash her whole car seat! Once she was calm, I put her in the tub to wash the puke off. She decided it would be a good time to poop! I was very stressed by this point because I was trying to help her and sanitize everything in the bathroom. The doctors said she would sleep for 2-3 hours, but in true Addy form, she only slept for 20 minutes! I can't wait for bed tonight! She is doing much better now, and is almost back to her normal self. I hope no more surgeries are in her future!

We have a new nephew!

2009-10-14T07:24:00.000-07:00

We are so excited that Kelly and Eric welcomed Julian Michae Comerford last night! He was born at 9:45 p.m. He was 19 1/2 inches long and weighed 6 lbs 9 oz. We can't wait to meet him! I don't have a picture of him yet, so I will put a few of Addy up. :)

Update

2009-09-08T17:17:00.000-07:00

It has been awhile since I have blogged, but we have all been really busy. We did have time to take a quick trip to Gatlingburg, and we had a great time. Addy enjoyed herself, but she had a lingering ear infection that got worse while we were there - poor kid! We are taking her to the doctor next week to get re-checked after the new antibiotic and to evaluate for tubes.
JC and I have both been very busy with work also. He is starting to get busy earlier than normal, and we have been crazy at work with flu season and giving flu shots every day. We are looking forward to a much needed vacation in October!
Enjoy the pictures!

Birthday Party # 2 & Doctor Visit

2009-07-22T07:05:00.001-07:00

We headed to Peru this past weekend to celebrate Addy's first birthday. We had such a good time seeing all of the family and having a party. Addy got to show all the grandparents how she can walk really well now, and she had a great time! She got lots of fun presents too!
This morning we headed to the doctor for her one year check up. She is doing great. She has low iron, so we are starting iron drops, but other than that she is perfect. Here are her current stat:

Head: 17.5 inches (25th percentile)
Length: 27 1/8 inches (10th percentile)
Weight: 17 lbs 3 oz (3rd percentile)

She is still a little peanut, but she is growing! :)

Addy's First Party & Fun Weekend

2009-07-08T05:55:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was so much fun! Eric, Kelly, and Olivia came to visit from Houston, and we had a blast. On Friday we took the girls to get their pictures taken. Addy was not happy to get her pictures taken, but Olivia was loving it. We did get some cute ones of them together though. I will try to post those soon! That afternoon we headed to the zoo because it was a beautiful day. We headed to J Gumbo for dinner and watched a movie that evening when the girls went to bed. Saturday we headed to breakfast and then to the horse track that afternoon. We all had a lot of fun despite the rainy day, and the girls loved the horses. :) On Sunday we hung out at the house and got ready for Addy's b-day party. The party was really fun! Olivia and Addy got along great all weekend, and it was really fun to see them! Enjoy the pictures!

2009-06-16T17:47:00.000-07:00

Addy's first swim!

Happy Mothers Day!

2009-05-10T12:21:00.000-07:00

I am really enjoying my first Mother's Day this year. JC took Addy and I out to lunch and we are having a great day! :) Here are some pictures from today and our Chicago trip. :)

9 Month Photos

2009-04-24T18:10:00.000-07:00

We took Addy to get her pictures today. She did pretty well, but had a couple rough spots. The pictures had some spots in them when I scanned them, but I wanted everyone to see them anyways. Enjoy!

9 Month Check Up

2009-04-21T10:24:00.000-07:00

Addy went to the doctor today for her 9 month check up. He said she looks great. He checked her ears because she had to go to the immediate care center Sunday due to a high fever that turned out to be a double ear infection. The ears are looking better. :) He gave us a lot of helpful tips for summer, and told us she is ready to start with some table food. That should be fun. :) Here are her stats:

Height - 26 inches (10th percentile)
Weight - 15 lbs 10 oz (5th percentile)
Head - 17 inches (25th percentile)

She is a little peanut, but she is doing great! :)

A message to Grandpa Bill

2009-04-16T12:13:00.000-07:00

Grandpa-

I love my NDSU clothes, but I am a growing girl. I think I am going to need some new ones when you go up north soon. :)

Love,
Addy

Addy is on the move!

2009-04-01T06:15:00.000-07:00

Addy started to crawl yesterday, and she has been on the go ever since. She has a crazy crawl right now. It looks like her one leg is not even working. It is so cute to watch. :)

2009-03-29T17:04:00.000-07:00

Splish Splash! I love baths!

How can I get these shoes off?

Dressed up for church

I love my humidifier!

Addy had a very wild nap. She flipped over, turned completely around, and took off both socks and her headband! Must have been having some crazy dreams!

Check out my tooth!

Addy's First Big Trip!

2009-03-16T05:58:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the new toy aunt Kelly!

Sisters and cousins!

Out to eat :)

Olivia like to show Addy how to do things :)

Anyone need a ride?

Riding in a box pulled by uncle Eric. What a crazy toy - I think you should market it Eric!

A welcome hug from Olivia!

This weekend Addy and I headed to Houston to visit Kelly, Eric, Olivia, and Lupe! It was so much fun. Addy did great on the trip with the exception of some crying on the way back when we landed. I think her ears were hurting because she stopped immediately when we got to a certain altitude.
We had so much fun while we were there. Addy is obsessed with Lupe and Olivia. However, she just wants them to be right by her - she does not want them to touch her! It was hilarious because she would whine for them to come over by her, but if they got too close she would cry. It was a never-ending cycle!
We went shopping and out to eat and played a bunch. The weather was bad, so we did not get to do anything outside. JC and I are trying to find a date where we can all go back. Enjoy the pictures!

Wild Thing :)

2009-03-10T17:38:00.000-07:00

Addy has a tooth!

2009-03-10T14:16:00.000-07:00

Addy got her first tooth one week ago. :) She was fussy the day it came through but has been fine ever since. :)
We made a trip to Peru last week since JC was out of town. We got to visit both sets of grandparents and Grandma Loretta. It was fun to see everyone! Addy and I are making another trip this weekend to visit the Comerfords. We can't wait! Enjoy the pictures! :)

Bad Week

2009-03-02T16:55:00.000-08:00

Last week was a bad week at our house! On Tuesday night Addy started vomiting a ton. She got to the point where she was dry heaving. It was horrible to watch. :( We decided to take her to the immediate care center around 8:30 pm. They told us to watch her for 2 hours and if she continued to vomit/heave we should take her to the ER. Sure enough she did it again as soon as we got home. We headed to the ER at 10 pm. It was a long wait, but when they saw her they decided to give her IV fluids and do blood work. It was so sad to see her with the IV and all of the sticks they did to get blood. She was definitely a trooper though! Around 3 am, the doctor said that he wanted us to try some Pedialyte, and if it stayed down we could go home. She kept it down, so we were finally heading home a little before 4 am! We were all exhausted! Oh yeah, while the doctor was talking to us he asked what was wrong with my eye. It turned out I had pink eye! So he gave me a prescription for that.
On Wednesday JC still had to work. I have no idea how he did it. I called in sick to work and stayed home. My mom was great and came down to help out so Addy and I could get some rest! :) She was pretty out of it all day Wednesday, but was able to keep Pedialyte down. By Thursday she was eating a little again, and she was back to normal by Friday. :) Saturday morning I woke up with pink eye in my other eye - it was not our week! I am glad to have that behind us! I sure hope not to have another week like that again soon! Enjoy the pictures of our healthy little girl. :)

Lunch Fun

Fun With Friends

2009-02-21T17:45:00.001-08:00

Addy and I headed to Lafayette this week to visit some friends from Purdue. :) It was so good to see them - I sure wish we did not live so far away from each other! Addy had a great time playing with Andrew and Alex, but she was pretty upset in some of these pictures. They are funny! Enjoy!

Some new pictures

A Gift from Olivia

2009-01-31T07:51:00.001-08:00

This pony has been the best present Addy ever got. I think she would stay in Old Red all day if I let her. :)

Bath Time!

Addy Update

2009-01-27T12:02:00.001-08:00

Addy has been super happy lately, so I thought I would post a few shots of her cute smiles. :) Enjoy!

6 Month Check-Up

2009-01-21T06:54:00.001-08:00

Addy just got back from her 6 month check-up. The doctor said she looks great. :) Here are her stats:

Length: 25.5 inches (40th percentile)
Weight: 14 lbs (10th percentile)
Head: 16.5 inches (25th percentile)

She said we can feed her more if she acts hungry since she is so little. She wore her little peanut shirt to the MD, so I guess that is fitting. :)She also said we could go to the stage 2 foods or mash up some real fruits and veggies for her. :)

Addy is 6 Months Old!

2009-01-17T10:39:00.001-08:00

We took Addy for her 6 month pictures last night. She did not have fun. She cried pretty much the whole time. They did get some cute ones though. :)

New Routine

2009-01-12T17:07:00.000-08:00

Tax time is here, and I have a new work schedule, so we have been busy trying to set up a new routine. I have more days off during the week, which is nice, but I also have 12 hour shifts now. :( JC is starting to get busy, and it is only going to get worse! Addy seems to be adjusting pretty well to the new routine. I am glad I have more days at home with her now. I posted some recent pictures - she is such a happy baby!

A new year!

2009-01-03T06:31:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it is already 2009! We had a great year in 2008, and can't wait to have more fun this year. Addy had a great first Christmas. We got to see all of our family this past week to celebrate. :) It was good to spend time with everyone. JC and I are not looking forward to going back to work on Monday - we have been enjoying time off with each other and Addy. I posted some pictures that were recently taken. Addy has learned to sit up on her own now. She started sitting really well on Christmas Eve. :) She also constantly babbles da-da. :) She gets more fun every day!

Christmas Pictures

2008-12-14T13:42:00.000-08:00

Grandma and Grandpa Wilkinson came to visit this weekend, and we all had a lot of fun. We got some cute pictures of Addy by the tree. Check out her cute shiny new red shoes! :)

Addy's new trick

2008-12-09T08:56:00.001-08:00

Addy is becoming quite good at rolling over. Here is a clip to prove it. :)

Cereal :)

2008-12-02T07:24:00.000-08:00

Addy has been trying to eat cereal for the past couple of weeks. She is getting better at it, but it is still very messy! :) Here is a clip from this morning. :)

Addy rolled over!

2008-12-01T04:52:00.000-08:00

Our big news this weekend is that Addy rolled over. I missed it because I was at work, but JC was home. :) She has not rolled over again since Saturday, but she sure get close. I am sure it will not be long before she gets the hang of it.
We had a great Thanksgiving this year. We got to see pretty much all of our family that lives close by. :) We are looking forward to Christmas already. We are going to get our tree and start decorating next weekend. :)
I posted some of Addy's 4 month pictures. :) I will try to post again soon!

Trying to roll over!

2008-11-15T16:46:00.001-08:00

This past week Addy has really been trying to roll over, but she can't quite do it yet! She has been sleeping really well though, so that is good. :) Enjoy the picture and movie!

Fall Update :)

2008-11-02T13:21:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we headed to Peru for Addy's baptism. It was a very fun but busy weekend. We went to Olivia's first birthday party on Saturday afternoon, then the baptism was Saturday night after church. Angie, Ron, and Alex spent the day with us and it was really fun. On Sunday we went to Josh and Shane's birthday party and then we stopped at Heather and Parke's house on our way home.
Addy and Olivia celebrated Halloween together this year. Addy was not amused to have a costume on, but we got a couple of cute pictures. :)

Fall is Here!

2008-10-10T14:54:00.000-07:00

Log Home Update

2008-10-04T11:40:00.000-07:00

We are making progress on journey to start building a log home. This past week we visited two log home companies to try to get a better idea of which one we want to use. We headed to Tennessee on Sunday with Addy to check out one company. We stayed for a few days and then headed back home. It was a fun trip, and Addy did great. :) JC's parents came down on Tuesday night to stay with Addy while JC and I headed to Idaho to check out the other company. It was hard to be away from Addy, but we knew she was in great hands and we had a lot of fun. We are pretty sure that we are going to go with Precision Craft in Idaho, and we will make our final decision very soon and start the design process within a month. We are very excited!
Addy has still been very chatty lately. :) Grandma Pauletta said she almost laughed while we were gone and is sure that she will be laughing within a few weeks. :) She is so much fun. I am really dreading going back to work! I will try to keep this updated with pictures soon. :)

Addy Update

2008-09-21T17:30:00.000-07:00

Addy has become much more vocal lately. She is constantly making cute noises now. She also has a new trick. She sucks her thumb. :) It is really cute! JC had her sitting up yesterday. I walked into the living room, and he had her sitting up on the couch. It was so cute. She did not last long before she tipped over. She has to go to the doctor this week for a check-up and a lot of shots. Yuck! I sure hope they do them very fast! On Saturday Addy and I are making a trip to Lafayette to see the girls from Purdue. It should be very fun! Enjoy the pictures!

A Visit From Kelly & Olivia

2008-09-12T08:09:00.000-07:00

Addy and I have been having a lot of fun this week. Kelly and Olivia are visiting, and Eric is coming for the weekend. Olivia loves to watch Addison and imitate her noises and position. It is so cute. She also is in love with Addison's pacifier and takes it any chance she gets. :) Olivia is patting her as I type this. :)
In other news, Addy slept for 7 1/2 hours the other night. It was great. She is still usually going about 6 1/2, but I think she is on her way!
Addy and I are heading to Peru next week to visit the grandmas and grandpas. This will probably be the last chance we get to go there before I have to go back to work.

Addy's First Picnic

2008-09-07T12:14:00.000-07:00

We took Addy to the orchard today for a picnic. She slept through most of it, but we were able to get a few shots of her awake. She has been so much fun lately. She smiles a ton and is making quite a few cute noises. Enjoy the pictures!

Nightly News

2008-09-03T14:15:00.001-07:00

Our major news this week all has to do with sleeping. :) On Monday night Addy slept for 6 1/2 hours! It was so nice. :) Last night she had her first night of sleep in her crib. She did fine - I had a tough time. I missed being able to roll over and see her. :( I know it is silly, but it was really hard for her to be in her own bed. She slept 5 1/2 hours last night. I hope we are on the road to sleeping through the night. I will post new pictures soon.

Poor Addy

2008-08-27T16:36:00.001-07:00

Addy had to go to the doctor today for her 6 week check-up. This included a shot - she did not like that part! The doctor said she looks great. She is in the 50th percentile for length and 40th for weight. The doctor also said she has very good head control for her age and we should keep up all of the tummy time. She loves to be on her tummy. :) I included a picture of her after the appointment with her first band-aid. Enjoy the pics. :)

2008-08-19T18:06:00.000-07:00

A Trip to the Doctor

2008-08-19T18:02:00.000-07:00

Today I was a paranoid mom and took Addy to the doctor. Her nose has been very stuffy for the past couple of days and she keeps coughing/choking on the stuff draining down her throat. She also has not been eating as much as usual. The doctor told me I was doing everything I could for her. I have been using a vaporizer and using saline drops in her nose. She said it was just a cold and everything else looks great. She does not have a fever and is in good health besides the congestion. I probably should not have taken her, but the choking scared me, and it was nice to be reassured that she is fine. She seems a little better tonight, but is still stuffy. I will have to post more pictures soon. She is getting cuter every day. :)

New Picture

2008-08-09T17:03:00.000-07:00

I just had to post this picture of Addy. We had some professional photos taken last week, and I love this one so much. She is so cute. :)

2008-08-04T08:20:00.000-07:00

Lots of Company

2008-08-01T09:10:00.000-07:00

This past week Addison has had a ton of visitors. :) Last Friday JC's sister, mom, and Annabel came to visit and help us out. JC was out of town for a wedding, and it was awesome to have the help! :) Angie, Ron, and Alex made a trip down from Lafayette to meet Addison and introduce us to Alex. Kelly, Eric, and Olivia got here on Sunday night. They have been hanging out with us all week and helping out a lot. Kelly has been cooking up a storm, and Olivia is getting to know Addison. :) On Monday, my parents, grandma Mavis, aunt Karen, and aunt Carol came to visit. We all had a really good time catching up. It has been a fun but very busy week. I will post some new pictures soon.

More Pictures

2008-07-25T09:33:00.000-07:00

Addison wanted to share some more pictures. These are from her first bath - she did not have a fun time. There are also some from her first visit from Sam and Kaelin. They really had a good time holding her. :) She has been so good so far. I love hanging out with her all day. JC headed to Scott's wedding today and will be back on Sunday. He was sad to have to leave her. We will post more soon.

Fun Day

2008-07-23T18:20:00.000-07:00

We had a fun day with Addison today. She made her first trip out today. We went to the doctor and to Walgreens. The doctor's appointment went really well. Addison is up to 6 lbs and 4 oz. She is growing very fast! :) The doctor said everything looks great, and Addy was very good during her appointment. We also took our first walk tonight. She was asleep the entire time, but I think she had fun. :) We are having a great time with our little girl. Enjoy the pictures!

Addison Update

2008-07-22T11:29:00.001-07:00

Kelly has been hounding me to post some new pictures, and Addison is taking a nap now so I have a free minute. The last few days have gone by so quickly. It is so nice to have our little girl at home with us. She is doing really well, and we are both so excited to be parents. We are still pretty unsure of quite a few things (I am sure Kelly and Heather have our number on their caller id a million times) but we are getting the hang of it. :) Enjoy the pictures!

Addison Kate is Here!

2008-07-19T14:35:00.000-07:00

We are excited to announce that Addison Kate was born on Thursday, July 17th at 3:22 pm. She weighed 6 lbs and was 19 inches long. It was quite the birth story, and I will post more details later! Look at our photo album for pictures! :)

Not much news

2008-07-15T06:12:00.000-07:00

I went back to the doctor yesterday hoping they would have some exciting news for me, but no such luck. I am still at 1 cm, but I am now 90% effaced. The doctor said I could stay like that for awhile though. :( I had a ton of contractions Sunday night and yesterday morning, but they have calmed down quite a bit. Dr. P. did say he would induce me Monday if she is not here yet, so the end is definitely in sight. I just hope she decides to make her grand entrance before Monday. JC thinks she is comfortable where she is. :) I will keep everyone updated on any developments.

B-9 Update

2008-07-07T17:23:00.000-07:00

I went back to the doctor today for another weekly check. They decided to "check me" to see how I am progressing. I am 1 cm dilated and 30% effaced, so I am making progress. :) The nurse practitioner thinks it should be a week or less now, but JC has his doubts. He seems to think she is going to take her time coming. We will have to wait and see. We are definitely excited and ready for her to get here. I will keep the blog updated. :)

It's Finally July!

2008-07-01T06:16:00.000-07:00

July is finally here, so hopefully that means the baby will be here soon. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said everything looks good. I have not been feeling any different than usual except that my back hurts pretty bad. I sure hope she decides to come on time. JC is convinced she is going to be late, but I hope not! We are both very excited to meet her.

Less Than 1 Month To Go!

2008-06-23T06:45:00.000-07:00

Time is really flying by lately. I can't believe I am due in less than a month. We have been working hard to get everything ready for her. Her room is pretty much all set, and I love how it turned out. :) This weekend my project is going to be packing for the hospital in case she comes early. :) We both can't wait to meet her! I posted some pictures of her nursery and one of me yesterday. My belly seems to be having a growth spurt. :) There is also a picture of the beautiful flowers JC sent me on our anniversary. Have a great week!

A Visit From Beth, Mary, and Betsy

2008-06-12T06:31:00.001-07:00

Last Sunday Beth, Mary, and Betsy came to visit. :) I had not seen them for a really long time, and it was great to catch up. We went out to lunch, chatted, opened up more baby presents, and had a great time. :) Hopefully I will get to see them again soon. :)

Another Shower :)

2008-06-12T06:23:00.000-07:00

Last weekend my neighbors threw another shower for me. They made a really nice lunch and cake and got lots of cute gifts. JC's mom and grandma came down for it, and it was really fun. :) B-9's room is basically done now. I just need to wash her bedding and put it on soon. We are getting very excited. Enjoy the pictures! :) I added a belly shot for you Kel! :)

Shower Update

2008-05-29T09:28:00.000-07:00

We went home this past weekend for my baby shower. Kelly and Heather did an awesome job. Everything was so nice, and I had a great time. B-9 got tons of cool stuff. JC and I have sorted through it and put it all away. I can't believe how fast time is going by. She will be here before we know it. Check out the online photo album because I have added quite a few pictures. Have a great day!

Pictures

2008-05-19T08:13:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures that we took recently. The first ones are of the flowers and plants blooming in our yard and the last few are from our trip to North Carolina. I love this time of year!

Random Update

2008-05-15T07:02:00.000-07:00

We have not posted for awhile, so I figured it was time. Things have been going well, but I don't have anything too exciting to report.

We took a trip to North Carolina a couple of weeks ago. We both really needed a vacation and had a great time. It was great to spend some time together and relax. We did a lot of hiking, shopping, eating, and relaxing. :)

I am going to the doctor every two weeks now. My belly is growing pretty fast and the doctor says the baby and I look great. I passed my gestational diabetes screening, so I was happy about that. They are going to do one more ultrasound next month, so we are looking forward to that.

We are heading to Peru next weekend for the shower Kelly and Heather are giving me. I am so excited. It will be fun to see everyone. I will have to post some new pictures after that.

Room Decorations

2008-04-24T12:55:00.000-07:00

I have been working on decorating B-9's room lately. It has been fun, and I like how it is coming along. Enjoy the pictures. :)

Spring Pictures

2008-04-19T16:56:00.000-07:00

These are some pictures of stuff that is blooming at our house. I love spring. I can't wait for more flowers and bushes to bloom - they are so pretty. We are also loving the warmer weather!

Belly Shot - 27 weeks

2008-04-19T16:54:00.001-07:00

Here is an updated picture of my belly that JC took today. It is definitely getting bigger every day. I go for my glucose test on Tuesday, so hopefully that goes well. We are both doing very well. :)

New Pictures - 26 weeks

2008-04-13T17:30:00.000-07:00

We have received many requests for new pictures. JC fixed our scanner, so here they are. The baby was not too cooperative during the last ultrasound, so there are only a couple of picutures - one is a profile shot and the other is a 3-D image of her legs and feet. She is measuring on target, and everything is going well with all of us. I will try to post a belly shot soon. It is growing every day! :)

Room Update

2008-04-07T06:40:00.000-07:00

JC's parents came to visit us this weekend and brought some things for the baby's room. They brought a rocker that has been in the family for almost 100 years. It looks great in the room, and I am sure it will get a lot of use. They also brought the little rocker JC had when he was a little kid. It is really cute. We had a really fun time with them.

I have also ordered several things to decorate the room that should be arriving soon. I am excited to get the room ready!

I go back to the doctor tomorrow for a check-up and another ultrasound. I am excited to see how much she has changed. She is definitely very active and kicks me all of the time. :) I will post new pictures soon.

Baby Furniture

2008-03-16T12:25:00.000-07:00

Our baby furniture is already here! It was supposed to take 8-12 weeks to come, but it took less than a month. JC and I put together the crib last night. The room looks a little empty now, but it should look better once we start to decorate. JC's mom is coming to visit soon and bringing a rocker for us to use. :) I also have several things that I am going to get from Pottery Barn to decorate the room with. We can't wait to finish the room.

The baby is becoming much more active now. I feel her moving around pretty much all day, but the most when I am sitting down or resting. JC has been able to feel her move/kick also. :)

Olivia's First Visit

2008-03-16T12:16:00.000-07:00

This past week has been a blast. Kelly brought Olivia for her first visit to southern Indiana. We all had a great time! Olivia was on her best behavior and seemed to enjoy her visit. Kelly and I had a lot of fun too. We had a lot of laughs over the few days they were here. I am looking forward to seeing both of them again in a couple of months. :) I have posted some of my favorite pictures, but there are more on the online photo album.

B-9 is on the move!

2008-02-25T07:01:00.000-08:00

Over the past week I have started to feel the baby move. It is a really odd feeling, but it is cool to feel something. Yesterday and today it feels like she is really flopping around in there. JC really wants to feel it, but I think it is a bit early for him to feel anything.

My mom is coming to visit tomorrow, and we are heading to the outlet mall on Wednesday to look for some maternity clothes (I really need some) and some cute baby stuff. I am really excited. :)

Not too much else is new with us. I will post more later.

Baby Bedding

2008-02-17T17:45:00.000-08:00

Today we had a great day. We ordered the baby furniture this afternoon. We love it and can't wait until it comes in (it will be 8-12 weeks). Tonight I checked the pottery barn website to look at the bedding we have been looking at, and it was on sale! We were so excited we decided to go ahead and order it. It is so fun to plan the room. :)

Belly Shot - 18 weeks

2008-02-16T13:41:00.000-08:00

Kelly has been hounding me to post a belly shot, so here it is! My jeans still fit, but my work pants are pretty tight. JC is finally admiting that I am getting bigger. I have been telling him that for a few weeks now. I am sure I will think this is small in few months. That is all for now!

It's a Girl!

2008-02-12T07:06:00.000-08:00

We went back to the doctor today for a check-up and another ultrasound. They told us we were definitely having a girl. :) We are both really excited. JC is not so excited about a lot of pink, but he is definitely happy that they say she looks like a very healthy little girl. I am going to have to try very hard to hold myself back from buying a ton of cute girl stuff now. Everything is measuring right on target and she looks really good. The ultrasound pictures were not the best this time. The ones I have already posted are much better. I have another ultrasound in 8 weeks, so hopefully those turn out better. That is all I know for now. I will post more later.

Baby pics - 14 weeks :)

More Baby Info

2008-01-20T13:49:00.000-08:00

I had another appointment this week. They told me they were not going to do an ultrasound, but JC wanted to come anyway. It turns out they did one, so it is a good thing he came.

The baby looks great. The MD says that he thinks it is a girl. We are excited. We can't wait to find out for sure next month. Everything else is going well.

JC and I went to look at baby furniture today. We picked out some we really like. We are going to order it next month because it takes up to 3 months to come in.

That is all I know for now. I will write more later. :)

Baby update :)

2008-01-10T18:01:00.000-08:00

Well, I went to the doctor for bloodwork on Tuesday. It turns out that I was also there for an ultrasound. I had no clue they would do an ultrasound, so I told JC not to worry about coming to the appointment (he was out of town). I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time and see the baby again. It was so cool, but I really wish JC could have been there. I go back on Wednesday for a regular check-up. JC will be coming also in case there are any surprises. :)

I think I must be starting to get a belly because my muscles feel like they are stretching. I am also getting my normal appetite back, so I am sure I will be gaining weight soon. Oh well!

That is all I know for now. I will post again after my next apppointment.

3-D Baby Pic

2007-12-28T16:18:00.000-08:00

This picture was taken at my new OB. They do 3-D ultrasounds. It was very cool to see. The baby looks great - seems to be very active. I am excited for my next one to see all of the changes!

New Baby Pic

2007-12-28T16:17:00.000-08:00

This is a picutre from my last visit to the fertilty doctor. The heart rate was 170 bpm, and the baby was moving all around. They cleared me to go to my regular OB. Hooray!

Our Christmas Tree

2007-12-17T07:22:00.000-08:00

We got our tree a little late this year, but JC found a great one. We had a lot of fun decorating it, and we enjoy having it in the house. We are excited to head to Peru for Christmas to see all of the family.

We head back to the doctor this Thursday for another ultrasound. It will be exciting to see how much the baby has changed. I will post more later.

First ultrasound - 7 1/2 weeks

2007-12-10T08:00:00.000-08:00

Baby news!

2007-12-10T07:54:00.000-08:00

It has been forever since we have posted, but this is a good one. We found out that we are going to have a new baby in the family in July. We have been trying for this and praying about it for a long time now, so we are really excited.
Also, we just got to meet our new neice Olivia. We spent 3 days in Houston with Kelly, Eric, Olivia, and Lupe. It was really fun, and we can't wait to see them again for Christmas.
That is all of our good news. I will try to update this more often than I have been. :)

We have a new niece

2007-11-02T02:33:00.001-07:00

I have not made an entry forever, so this is long overdue. JC and I became an uncle and an aunt on October 30th. Olivia Reese is finally here, and we can't wait to meet her.

August Update :)

2007-08-14T07:15:00.000-07:00

Kelly has been hounding me to post something new, so I decided to go for it. We have been very busy going to friends weddings this summer. They have all been really fun, and it has been great to see all of our friends. Check out our photo album for some pictures of the weddings! Not too much else is new with us. We are looking forward to visits from some friends and family soon. We are also looking forward to some vacations in September and October. I will try to post again soon. :)

Our first blog :)

2007-06-25T06:48:00.000-07:00

I decided to try to figure out how to make a blog since everyone else has one. It has not been to hard so far. Kelly said I should try so we could share pictures and other stuff. JC and I don't have too much exciting stuff to put on it, but oh well. Our most recent news is that we bought some land so JC can eventually build his dream log home. We are pretty excited about it! We have 3.5 acres by a winery and orchard that we go to all of the time. Hopefully we will be able to build in a couple of years after we save a little more.
