Milly and Lily Taking a break.

Milly and Lily wrestling around.

Climbing through the tunnel...peek-a-boo


Swinging for the first time and loving it!

Let's see. There hasn't been too much going on since our trip to Colorado. Landon is becoming more and more mobile and REALLY testing our limits. We have baby-proofed as much as possible and finally gave Landon a little playroom in the basement all to himself and there is NOTHING he can get into that he shouldn't. He is working on his 7th tooth. Teething, as I'm sure most of you know, isn't too much fun; for Chris or Landon. The poor guys doesn't get a break. He LOVES bubbles. I will have to post a video of him with bubbles because he gets so excited. I would post one now, but we are out of bubbles because I forgot that I put them on the bumper of my car and drove off. oops. We did take Landon to the park for the first time and he has a blast. Even though he can't walk, there was a tunnel that he really tried to crawl through and he absolutely LOVED to swing. Lily has been doing well. We watched our neighbor's dog for an evening and she ended up staying the night with us. Lily had a blast. The other dog's name is Milly. Yes, Milly and Lily. The dogs don't know who we are talking to, they just both come when they are hear a name; not sure if it's themselves or not, but they come. They played so hard that they were ready for bed before Chris and I. Chasing each other around the backyard and fighting over the same chewy. When it was time for bed, Lily got into the bed with Chris and I,( yes she sleeps with us...talk to chris about that one) and I made a place for Milly on the floor. Well, Milly just wasn't comfortable on the floor, so she slept with us too. In order it was, Me, Milly, Lily and Chris. Oh, did I mention that Milly is part German Sheperd...not as small as Lily. Needless to say, Milly and I 'cuddled" all night. Not the best nights sleep, but Milly is a sweet dog. We had fun watching them play. As for Chris and I, we are just hanging in there. Glad to be home and spending time with Landon. I've been running with my neighbor about three times a week trying to get in shape...all I have to say is she is a cross country coach so I am getting a workout...these are no short runs...about three miles or so. But, I know it will be worth it.

I think that's all for now. We hope everyone is doing well and we would love to hear how things are going. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave us a comment so we can see how you are doing. Have a great couple of weeks.

This past weekend was an eventful one. We drove down for Mason's birthday party that was on Saturday. I wasn't feeling too great that morning and got sick, which I hadn't done in a while. I got sick again on the way to the party, then again when we got back to June and Mark's after the party, then again right before we took off back to Fort Wayne. I just couldn't figure out what was going on. From there, I got sick about every ten miles on the interstate as Chris pulled over, no kidding, about 14 times. I got sick a total of 20 times Saturday and late that night decided that it was time to go to the E.R. I was given two liters of fluid and some meds to keep me from throwing up. We were there for about four hours and then headed home. It took me a couple days to recover; I was so sore from getting sick so many times. Anywho...I was to follow up with my doctor. So, today we went to the doctor to make sure everything was alright with the baby after Saturday. Everything...

Alexa Anne is Here!!!!!

Alexa Anne was born at around 6:00 p.m. this evening. After a bit of a scare of not being able to find her heartbeat, some oxygen and a page to my doctor to arrive ASAP, and about 6 or 7 pushes...she was born. She weighs 6 pounds even and is 20.5 inches long. She is so pettite and looks just like Chris and Landon. Go figure...here again, I am the one that labors and carries the babies and Chris gets all the credit. I'm sure she will change a bit in her looks as she has already changed since she was born. I feel great and empowered as I had to do everything I could to get her out quick because her heartrate dropped down to the 40's. VERY scary but thank God I had Mom and Chris in the roomt to get me through. They were great coaches. Enjoy the pictures. I'm going to get off here while Alexa is taking her bath and we soon will go to bed. Thanks for check'n in. We'll update again tomorrow. Oh and how could I possibly forget...Big Brother Landon!!!! How precious it was t...

One more makes a family of four!

That's right. Chris and I found out a few weeks ago that we are expecting our second little one around mid February. We are very excited! There are still a few of you out there that I wish I could tell other than on our blogspot, but this is the best way for me right now. I have been feeling REALLY crummy and I just can't kick the all day morning sickness. I just wish there was something that I could eat or take and it would give me a break. I know it will be worth it, but it's much more difficult being sick and watching after a toddler. Thank goodness I have the most amazing husband in the world that has really taken on both roles as mom and dad and give me a break when I need one. We couldn't be happier with idea of having two. We are really pushing these milestones and Landon is taking them VERY well! Now, if ice cream cured morning sickness...I would be in good shape (well, not physically and then again maybe that's why it doesn't help). Hope you all enjoyed...
