2 weeks old

On Thursday Reese turned 2 weeks old! She's a pretty good sleeper-she stays on a 3-4 hour schedule. We've made several outings-she went to her first football game, a cookout at a friend's house, and church today. We also visited a new friend born on Friday at the hospital. Reese is 2 weeks old and smaller than the newborn...I'm sure she'll catch up!

One Week Old

Reese turned one week old on Thursday. Drew is loving his little sister more and more everyday. We've had a fun week with lots of family and friends stopping by. Jo (my Mom) spent the week with us helping at the house and today Pops, Barbar, Amy, Mike, Sam, Anna, Emily (family friend) and son Jacob, Cory, and Amanda were all here. The 5 kids had a blast together! Reese also had some newborn pictures made this morning-she was a little beauty queen! These are some pictures taken today.

Reese arrives!

Thursday was an exciting day....Reese was born at 1:11pm. She weighed 7 pounds and was 19 1/2 inches long. Delivery went smooth-special kudos to my "delivery crew" -Andy, April, Jada, Mom, and Barbara. My nurse and doctor were great-we were keeping things fun the whole time. We've had lots of friends and family at the hospital and the house. Drew seems to like his little sister; she brought him a castle with dinosaurs for being a big brother so, she seems to be pretty cool. Reese is looking forward to meeting you all soon!!

Last day of Just the 3 of us

Well friends and family....August 30 marks our last day of just the 3 of us. I've had a few "mommy moments" with Drew but I know Reese will just add so much more joy to our lives. Tomorrow morning we'll be heading to the hospital at 5:00am to prepare for Reese's arrival. Both the baby and I are healthy; Reese is ready to make her appearance into the world. At this point I'm excited but a bit nervous and anxious. Keep us in your prayers and we'll update soon!

Catching up

Let's see.... I went to the doctor Thursday. All is well and I go back for my 37 week appointment Thursday. Two of my friends painted Reese's furniture and it's back here full of her clothes. Finally I feel semi-settled...We had a great weekend. I wish I had pictures to share, but I left my camera at a friend's house. Cory (my brother) and Amanda (his girlfriend) came to visit Friday and Saturday on their way home from the beach. We had a delicious dinner at Macaroni Grill and went swimming on Saturday. Saturday night Andy's school had their annual Family Fest. Of course, we spent most of our time at the "jumpy things" as Drew calls it. The weekend ended with a great day at church. A man who's been diagnosed with inoperable brain tumors shared with us and a girl who was told she probably wouldn't have kids is pregnant! Two extremes, but it's amazing how God is working in both situations.

Exciting weekend

We had a great weekend! Andy turned 32-Happy Birthday! His parents came to visit Saturday. To celebrate friends and family went to Eat at Moe's for dinner then our place for ice cream cake-delicious! Sunday, some friends from church hosted a baby shower for us. Reese got lots of precious clothes. I've got everything washed and ready for her arrival!
