just some pictures

Don't have too much to post, just got some really good pictures this week of the kiddos. My sister and I went down to Bloomington yesterday to have lunch with Chris and to have Alexa meet her great-grandparents. It was a very nice visit and they both got a chance to love on her and hold her. Landon was very busy, so we didn't stay too long, but it was a great visit. On the drive down to Bloomington, Landon made up a story about a "young man" that "fell off a horse and Bamm!". He told this same story over and over about 15 times...no kidding. Really funny, but wonder where he comes up with some of the things he does. This morning when he got up, he told me that there was a dragon in a box and he heard it and it was loud. This week had been pretty hard on me and we are all trying to adjust to Chris' new job. I am so used to having him work from home, or having a VERY flexible schedule to only seeing him a couple hours a day. It's been hard, we know it will make the weekends, that much more special. Well, except for this weekend, because we have to car shop which is not family friendly when it comes to family time. But after this weekend, we hope to really take advantage of the weekends. I think that's all for now. Would love to hear from some of you that we haven't talked to in a while. Shoot me an email and let us know how you are doing. We miss so many people and hope to get back in touch or visit very soon:)
This first picture is of Landon reading to Alexa. I thought it was sweet.
Landon: "one pond time, a little boy..."
That's about as far as he got as he wanted Alexa to look at the book and tried to turn her head in a not so gentle way, towards the book. Again, something we are working on:)














This next picture is of Alexa "holding" the soccer ball that Landon wanted her to hold. The funny part is...she later kicked it off. Maybe she'll play soccer.














one of the many kisses Alexa gets each day from her big brother













when I saw this picture, I got teary-eyed. it's just so precious.

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...
