Avery Grace 9.18.2009

My blog has taken a backseat these last couple of months since the birth of Avery Grace. I have spent this time getting adjusted to 2 children which is a lot different then just having 1. I am making it though and life can still move forward with 2 preschoolers at home. :)

Avery Grace was born at 7:55am September 18 by way of a scheduled c-section. She weighed in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 20 inches long. Everything went according to plan.

Phil and I were very fortunate to have a strong, Godly man deliver Avery. Dr. Crump attends our church and we were and are so blessed to have him as a doctor. His wife is one of the most loving and giving person I know. She was there when Avery was born and was just so helpful.

My mom stayed with me for 3 weeks as I got adjusted to having Avery. She was so helpful in taking care of Addison and cleaning my house. Thanks mom for all of your help.

Avery Grace turns 6 weeks old this Friday and it so hard to believe she has already been here 6 weeks. Addison is adjusting well with a few bumps here and there. She loves Avery already very much.

Baby Girl Champion at 28 weeks

It has been too long...

I know it has been a really long time since the last time I posted. I really have just not gotten my energy back this go around. I am now 19 weeks pregnant and in my 2nd trimester. Starting to feel the little girl moving around more and more. When I was pregnant with Addison I seemed to have lots of energy in the 2nd trimester but not this time.

We had an ultrasound at 15 weeks and they were 90% sure it was a girl. I would post a pic of the ultrasound but we didn't get a very good one. We are starting to throw around some names but I think this time around we are keeping the name a secret. I know with Addison we told people early what the name was going to be and I got my feelings hurt with a couple of comments made. You should never make a negative comment to a pregnant woman about the name she has picked out for her child. Remember she has elevated hormones. :)

It does seem like this time around my hormones are more elevated. Is that even possible?? Oh, well lets just say Phil is trying to put up with them. I am sorry Phil!! :)

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and Addison will make her first singing debut in church. The preschoolers are singing a couple of songs but there is no guarantee Addison will even make it on stage. She has been singing these songs for months but when it came time to practice on the stage she was having no part of it. So we will see. :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Easter 2009 Picture above. You will notice the spot on Addison's head. She had a little fall and to have a stitch but she is okay. :)

Addison's First Concert

Addison experienced her first concert last night. Phil had a trip planned for our teenagers so I decided to go and take Addison. I knew she would love the music but I was a little worried about the lateness.

When she first entered Alltel Arena in Little Rock she was in a little shock of how big the place was but she quickly adjusted. She did better than I had even imagined. She had so much fun. She participated, danced, and even raised her hands. Here is a small snippet of last night. Once in the car at 10:00 she was fast asleep and slept all the way home.

Still Moving Along

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I have been so tired. It is amazing how something so small can make you so tired. :)

We had another ultrasound and the baby is measuring at 8 weeks with a good heartbeat. I will not have the official report until next week so right now I think those are all good signs.

Another Little Champion on the Way

We had our ultrasound yesterday and the baby is measuring 5 weeks and 5 days. A hearbeat was detected. None of my other pregnancies that I miscarried ever detected a heartbeat. I feel like this is a good sign but I feel like we are never out of the woods until after 12 weeks. Please, keep us in your prayers!

Since we just miscarried December 26th we were not expecting to get pregnant so soon but I guess God had other plans for us. :)
