Baby Evelynn

Baby Evelynn has arrived. 7 lbs and 11 oz. Mom and baby are doing well. Pictures to follow...

Good morning

Epidural and pitocin are flowing. The nurse put her money on a baby by noon. All is well!!

We're Here!!!

It is 3:00 in morning Jenny's water broke and we are at the hospital and in our room. Jenny is having contractions but if this one is like the two previous we have a long wait ahead of us. We're going to try to rest now and get things moving in the morning.

29 weeks

I am now 29 weeks along and feeling great. Getting a little tired now that I'm in the third trimester and my hips are sore after sitting on the floor with the kiddos. All in all I'm good. I just had an appointment today with a specialist to check baby girls kidneys. The left kidney is normal and functioning great. Which is really good news. The right kidney is filled with fluid, but is still a healthy organ. So I have to have another ultrasound at the specialist in a month and hope things have changed, if not I will be sent to see a uralogist to figure out if they want to continue monitoring her after she's born or do a procedure to straighten out the tubing that connects the kindey to the bladder. They are not too concerned and I'm praying she will out grow this, which is most common. Everyone keep her in your prayers! Will and Addy are getting excited for her to get here. I can't wait to get there rooms set up! and Derek is still trying to decide what names he likes. I have my favorite so I might just have to talk him into it. Keep you posted!

Baby Girl!!

We're having a girl! I had my 24 week check up and decided to have the ultrasound tech write down the sex of the baby and seal it in an envelope so Derek and I could find out together. During my ultrasound they took 4D pictures of our little girl which was very cool, I think she looks like Will. They did find fluid on her kidneys, which means we now have to monitor them by ultrasound every month. She could have a blockage in the tube that carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder or the valve isn't functioning correctly which lets some urine back into the kidney. It is something we have to watch and pray she grows out of it. I also found out during my appointment that I do not have gestational diabetes, yeah! Now we are on the hunt for a girls name that both Derek and I like and that is hard! We also have to go through all of Will's clothes that we have stored, set up the kids new rooms and Derek and I will be moving our room back downstairs to the main floor. Busy life for the Springer's !

Our Nephew is here!

Congrats to Ryan and Nicole. Baby Wyatt Kenton was born today just after 4pm weighing in at 8lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long. We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet our new nephew. Will and Addison asked if they could go to KS to play with their new cousin. We'll be visiting soon!!!

Fun! Fun!

So I am dealing with something new this pregnancy. Unfortunately I have developed varicose veins that are pretty uncomfortable. Lucky me gets to wear full maternity compression stockings. Very cute! Walking a lot to get the blood flowing and resting with my legs elevated has helped. My doctor says they will most likely go away after I have the baby. I hope so!

Long time no blog!

 

So it's been a really long time since I last wrote on the blog and somethings have change in our lives. As you can tell I'm preggers again for the 3rd time and feeling great! I will be 22 weeks on Tuesday and had my ultrasound done almost 2 weeks ago now. We did not find out what we are having and it's killing me. I love the surprise at the birth, but for some reason I really want to know this time. So this got me looking back at all the old posts I had made during my pregnancies with Will and Addison and I thought I reallly need to be blogging about this pregnancy. I loved looking back at all the funny comments friends and family made and how I was feeling and what I was thinking along the way. So here goes...
like it said, i'm almost 22 weeks and felling great. I'm taking yoga twice a week which helps me feel somewhat normal. I can relieve stress, stretch, talk with other women about thier pregnancies and It gives me sometime away and to myself. I am still running my at home daycare this year and it's going well. I watch Will and Addison, my neighbors Hudson and Owen, and my good friends son Gavin. The kids keep me moving and very busy, so needless to say, I'm taking naps when they do. I have another doctors appointment in 2 weeks to have another ulrasound done to check the babys spine(couldn't get a good reading last time) and to take my gloucose test to check for gestational diabeties. I'm hoping to be in the clear for that. I'm also debating with myself and Derek whether or not I so find out the sex of this baby. Stay tunned to see if I find out!

Summer

So it's been way too long since I last updated the blog. Sorry:( A lot has happened this summer. We've been to zoo's, baseball games, Chicago, the pool (almost everyday), Las Vegas, and much more. Addison started walking when she turned 14 months and just within the last couple of days she is running. Her hair is starting to grow, I gave her a little trim in the back. She's not talking much yet. She says dada, mama, dog, ohooh, hi, and she signs more, all done, and please. She loves shoes, her dolls, matchbox cars, bath time, and Will. Will has been into every sport he can try. He has gotten very good at baseball and loves to practice in the yard. He dribbles the soccer ball, has been really trying to get better at golf, and loves to swim. He talks non-stop and is getting very silly and funny. He loves his little sister and is a big helper. We've had a great summer and I've started back to daycare. It's should be a fun year with lots of changes!

Happy Birthday Addison!

 
Addy is one! It's hard to believe that one year ago Addison was born. The time has flown by! Addy is finally getting teeth. Her bottom right tooth is popping through now and it looks like 3 more are about to. She is also starting to take some steps. She loves to walk back and forth between Derek and I. She has taken about 5 steps on her own, before diving towards Derek or I. She is such a happy baby and a real joy to be around. The boys just love her. Check out more pictures from her birthday in the may 2010 folder on Picasa.

I'm almost one!

 
Just thought this was a cute picture and wanted to share.

Addison Walkiing

 
Addy is practicing her walking everyday now. She loves walking behind the school bus or holding hands and walking. She's not walking on her own yet, but I think she might be soon. check out the cute video and all the new pics on picasa. I posted more of Chicago, Easter, and Will and Addy springtime. Enjoy!

Chicago trip

 
We're having a great time in Chicago. We have made it to The Art Institute, Adler Planetarium, and The Field Museum. We are headed to The Shedd Aquarium tomorrow and the Sears/Willis Tower on Friday. We have done some shopping, but more to come on Friday and we have done a lot of walking. It is so nice outside. This afternoon we are going to the park to enjoy the weather and see The Bean. Check out Picasa to see more Chicago pics.

Will and Addison

 
Wow! I haven't updated this in a long time. The kids are growing up so fast and I can hardly keep up with them. Will is 2 and 1/2 years old and Addison is 10 months old on the 25th. I put a lot of new pictures on picasa under 4 different albums titled Will's ouchies, Will and Addy spring 2010, Daycare december, and Finished basement. Since my last update we have finished the basement, Will has been to the emergency room, Addison has passed her first waterbabies swim class, and both kids have grown a lot.
Check out the new picture on picasa. Enjoy!

Addison is 6 months!

 
She's getting big! Check out more pics under November09 album on picasa

Addison is 4 months!

I can't believe it's been 4 months already. She is growing so fast and doing new things everyday. Addy had her doctors appointment the other day and she is weighing in at a very healthy 15lbs 11oz (89%) and 26.8 inches tall (99%). The doctor said we can start her on rice cereal if we want, but I think we might wait a little longer so that she is sitting up a little better. Will is wonderful with her. He loves to hold her and help mommy get her diapers or pacifier or burp cloth. He even tries to share his toys with her. On Friday he brought her 3 cars to play with. We had a great weekend with Grandma Joy and Papa Bill. We went to the zoo and went apple picking. This afternoon the temp dropped and I bundled up Addison so we could go outside to play with daddy and Will, but it was too windy, we did get a cute picture though. Check out new pictures on Picasa under Addy and Will Sept 2009 folder and the daycare folder.
