Our Thanksgiving Weekend

Our little ham...or turkey rather!













This is going to be short because I am exhausted and I have a cold :) We had a great holiday weekend. It started with my Dad, Step-mom and sisters coming to Fort Wayne to visit us for a few days before Thanksgiving. We all had a good time playing games and watching Landon be the center of attention. Chris, Landon and I went down to Indy and had Thanksgiving at my Mom's house on Thursday and then went to Bloomington to see my dad's side of the family. We went to Bloomington again on Friday for a short visit before my dad headed back to Colorado. Then on Saturday, we celebrated Thanksgiving with Chris' family and headed back home Sunday. We put up our Christmas Tree on Sunday afternoon and really had good time doing so. It was so fun to watch how excited Landon is this year and how much more aware of things he is about Christmas. I can't wait for Christmas to actually get here...we've been talking about Santa since May as Landon has an "I Spy" book that is Christmas themed and we have been reading it for months. Then lately, we have been reading Polar Express or "polarspress" as Landon calls it. I think we are all getting into the spirit of things. We are very thankful for all of our families and loved spending time with them over this past holiday and we look forward to visiting more over Christmas break! Enjoy the few pictures I am posting. Have a great 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...
