Colorado Vacation

-
Well. We just got back from a great week in Colorado visiting Dad, Liz, Conner and Madison. We drove. I know what you're thinking, how could we drive with a 7 1/2 months old in the car? Didn't we go crazy? The answer, not really. We left in the evening so Landon could sleep most of the drive. He slept about 13 of the 17 hours it took us to get to Colorado and 13 of the 17 hours to get back to Indiana. He was perfect. He woke up when we stopped to get gas because they are so well lit, but he fell right back to sleep once the car started rolling. The last hour, both there and back, were the roughest for Landon, but for Chris and I as well. I thought we were going to regret driving, but it went really well. Conner and Madison seemed to really enjoy Landon's company as he enjoyed theirs. Grandpa Bill took lots of pictures to capture our visit as well as the little monster trying to climb on everything. We went into Estes Park, we went bowling (all I'm going to say is Madison beat Chris...but that's all I'm saying), we walked through downtown Longmont, we played many a game of "Phase 10" (our family ritual when visiting), we watched a fireworks show on the 4th of July. We just had an all around good time. Now, as for Landon. He has just about 6 teeth, he's climbing on everything, and has even attempted to let go of things and take a step. I think he has decided that he needs to slow down, he's not quite ready for walking. He's always three steps ahead of what his body wants to do. He is getting into everything. He even will crawl towards something that we have said "no" to, turn and look at us, smile, then turn back around and crawl towards the "no" object, then back at us, smile, then towards the "no" object. He's a smart little sucker and he's training us well. I think that's about it for now. We would love to see how you are doing. You can leave a comment at the end of this post to update us on you and your family. Hope everyone is having a great summer. Talk to you later. I will post again here in a couple weeks.
Love,
jennifer, chris, and landon

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...
