Oh Heavens

I haven't written anything in 5 months and so much has happened. My nephew, Cash Reed arrived on October 6, 2009. Then on October 28 we welcomed a beautiful little girl. Annistyn Paige arrived weighing 6 pounds 14 ounces and measuring 17 inches long. She had a headful of beautiful black hair and in my opinion was a gorgeous baby. Adair loves her little sister and I know they will be best friends! We made it through Jason going to Hawaii for 2 weeks when Annistyn was a month old. I gained a whole new respect for single moms. We had our 1st Christmas as a family of 4 and it was wonderful! The only downer was having to miss Christmas at Momma and Papa's because Adair had tonsillitis. That was the sickest she had ever been an we were all worried. A few weeks after that, Annistyn had RSV. Needless to say, for several weeks we only left the house to go to the doctor. Adair turned 3 in January and had a Backyardigans party. I think that brings everything from Annistyn's 1st 6 months up to date for the most part. I will get to the rest next time.

Cash Reed

My new nephew Cash Reed will enter the world tomorrow.  His older brother Cohen and Adair are a year apart.  He and Annistyn will be 3 WEEKS apart.  Needless to say, this Christmas should be extra exciting.  I am anxious to see how Cohen reacts to his new brother.  He seems excited now, but may feel differently once he has to share the attention.  Even though Adair is a year older than Cohen, I am guessing that her reaction will be very similar to his.  My goal this week is to sit down with the new computer and camera and upload new pictures.  We'll see if that happens??????

It's official, Annistyn Paige will join our family on October 28, 2009. Having a scheduled c-section has its advantages. We picked the 28th because Jason's birthday (June) and our anniversary(July) are on the 28th. We are all excited and I am a little nervous about how to manage 2. Adair has been such an easy baby/toddler. I am hoping for an easy time again. This pregnancy had been a lot harder than my first one, yet the time seems to have flown by. I was diagnosed at 21 weeks with a low placenta, but thankfully it has moved up. Now we are just praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. My last day of work will be October 2 and I am looking forward to spending time with my "big" girl before the baby arrives.

A few early pictures of my first baby!

Boy does time fly!!!!!

Potty Time

Guess who used the potty today.....Adair was so proud of herself.  My mother in law put her on the potty when she awoke from her nap and she tinkled.  They clapped and cheered.  She was so proud of herself.  Jason picked her up today and I met them at the car.  She said "I potty Mommy".  Hopefully she will stay this excited and potty training will go smoothly.  I bought 2 potty seats that attach to the toilet so she can use the same kind at home and at her grandparents' house.   Here are a couple of pictures of my big girl.  Please excuse the hair, we are both getting a haircut tomorrow.

Adair turns 2

Here we go as I dive into the world of blogging.  Adair turned 2 on January 24 and we had a Nemo (or as she says Memo) party.  I am going to post a few pictures from that day.  My sister made her cake and it was adorable.  I am so thankful to have a talented sister.  We kept the invite list simple so she would not be too overwhelmed.  She had a great day.  It's hard to believe that my baby is 2!  I just want to bottle her up and keep her like this, but I must let her grow up.
