updates and stats

-
We had a really great weekend, as I'm sure most everyone did since the weather was SO amazing! It was nice and relaxing and pleasant. Landon however, has caught something and is feeling horrible. He was in bed tonight at 5:45:( Let's see...Alexa had her two month check-up finally now that she is 10 weeks. She weighs 9 pounds and is 21.5 inches. Both stats put her in the 15th percentile which was hard to believe because all we have heard with Landon is 90th percentile. I asked the doctor if everything was alright and she said that she's just little, but she's healthy. She measured her head and checked her toes and hips and then her ears. "huh. she's got fluid on her ears." That was a surprise but explained a few extremly fussy spells this past week. Come to find out, she has an ear infection. I would have thought she was too young. What is happening is that since she has reflex, which she is on medicine for, when she has reflex, it tends to drain back into her ears therefore giving her fluid in her ears. She is on medicine and I'll tell you she has been a great and very happy baby ever since. Such a difference. She is such a happy baby and has been smiling like crazy lately. Especially for her daddy; she adores him. We went to visit our good friends the Nixon/Mcgee family. Trevor got Landon a "rock guitar" and there is a video of Landon playing for Alexa and he is really feeling the music. We had the honor of going to our nephew, mason's first baseball game of the season...which they won...which he pitched, played shortstop and played left field. We are so proud of him and he looks great in his uniform! We ended the weekend at my mom's playing with Isabelle on the playground and in the sandbox. He even played a littl golf in the backyard at my mom's and had a little help from "nell". So as of now...I have some pictures and a couple videos. Enjoy!

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...
