Stats

-
Just wanted to make a quick post. Landon had his 24 month check-up yesterday and boy is he getting smart. When we walked into our room that the doctor was going to meet us in, Landon said, "hurt?". I told him he wasn't going to get hurt today. The strange thing is, we hadn't been to the doctor since his 18 month check-up and I don't think he even got any shots. Well, I felt pretty bad after telling him that he wasn't going to get "hurt" because I forgot it was that time of year for his flu shot. I just avoided it. So, Landon's stats... He is weighing in at 31 1/2 pounds and is 36 1/2 inches tall. He gained about 6 pounds since his last check-up and grew 3 inches. This puts him in the 90th percentile for height and 85th percentile for weight. I was shocked to see that he was in the 85th percentile for weight because he seems so thin to me. I suppose it's because he is so tall. The doctor seemed pleased with everything and said he checked out very well and she was impressed with is vocabulary and milestones at this point. After she checked him out, the "hurt" was quickly approaching. I just didn't say anything until the nurse came back in with the needle. I said, "okay Landon, you are going to get a little medicine in your leg and your going to get a cool bandaid and then we will go home." He looked at me and I layed him on the table and held his hand and then I saw big eyes. After big eyes came the lip, a yelp, some tears and then, "mommy, hurt!". As soon as those words came out of his mouth, I stood him up and with tears in his eyes and not knowing whether to cry or laugh, Landon let our a little laugh and said, "hurt!". We all laughed, and checked out his bandaid and that was that. He was tough and I think in a way he realized the anticipation was worse than the pain. But then again, don't we all do that? Alright. That's it for now. I am posting just a couple pictures for fun. I know some of you have seen them, but I haven't posted them on here yet and they are pretty good. One will really make you laugh! Enjoy the rest of your week.

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...
