Big Sister!

10.23.2011

We found out this past Thursday, that Madelyn is going to be a big sister!

I haven't been feeling so great the past couple weeks.  I thought it was food poisoning or that I caught something, but low and behold....I'm pregnant again!  The baby is due on May 26th.  We're surprised, but very excited about the new life we get to bring into this world.

I'll keep the updates coming like last time around.

Madelyn: 7 Months

Baby girl,

Happy seven months!  You had a busy month!

Here is some of what's going on:

-We're guessing you weigh about 16-17 lbs.

-You are now in size 2 diapers but about to move up to size 3.  We have a box waiting for you.  You're wearing size 6-9 month clothes.

-Still no crawling, but lots of rolling!

-You are such a chatter box.  Anytime we look at you, you start talking about something.

-You flew on a plane (well 4 planes) a couple weeks ago to see your Uncle G and Aunt Crystal get married.  You were such a trooper and did a great job!

-You are still eating about 8 oz. every 4 hours. You're also eating rice cereal, carrots, squash, prunes, green beans, peas, bananas, pears, peaches, blueberries, and sweet potatoes  You'll start broccoli later this week.

-You sleep between 11-12 hours at night.  Going to bed at about 8pm and waking up between 7am-8am in the morning.

Love you Madelyn!

Arkansas Trip

10.06.2011

My older brother, Greg, got married last Saturday to the beautiful Crystal!  We spent about a week down in Arkansas visiting family and friends.  We had a fun time seeing everyone and I know MJ loved being spoiled! 

Madelyn did really well on her first airplane ride.  We went from Seattle to Dallas and then Dallas to Ft. Smith.

We spent a lot of the week eating at places we don't have here....SONIC, (good)mexican, CiCi's Pizza, Sweet Bay, Chik-fil-a, and Western Sizzlin.

We were able to get down to Conway and see Tim's grandparents along with our friends Katy and Mitch.
