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!
