Meeting baby Kaden!!!

Today we got to meet my cousin Chad and his wife, Laura's baby Kaden! He was born 5 weeks early, which was only a few days after Leora. He was wide awake the whole time we were there, Leora decided it was nap time.

8 lbs today!!!

Leora weighed 8lbs at the dr office today (I just took her there to weigh her), up from 5lbs 3oz when we brought her home from the hospital!! Today it is soo pretty out, the weather is awesome, sunny and warm! We have been walking every other day. I didn't get much sleep last night (becuase of someone), so not today. Leora loves her carrier though, so much easier than the stroller. We have a cool umbrella stroller too, but she is still too little for it.

Life is sooo wonderful! 5 more weeks until I go back to work, but I really don't think that it will be that awful.

We have been working on our kitchen floor, well mostly my dad has. Dad, you are AWESOME!! Its looking good!!


Of course, more pictures of our baby!! Leora is 4weeks 5 days old today!

Me and my baby (she's smiling too)!!

Leora on her tummy time mat, we put her on her back to look at the toys, but she decided it was nap time. Look at her chubby cheeks, sooo cute!

Bob-o and his baby!!

Leora May is 1 month old!

Leora May is 1 month old today!!! She is getting so big now! At her three week dr appointment she was measuring: 6lb 15oz, and 19 1/2. We love our little princess so much!! Pico and Mila are getting used to their baby now.


We are going to take pictures of Leora with this doll every month until she is a year old, then probably every year after (haha, my mom said that every month would get pretty tedious when she starts highschool!!).


Yesterday we took pictures of Bob-o's family and the TWO new babies! Her cousin (Bob-o's brother's daughter), Jaycee, was born on 4/4/08, so they are two weeks apart. They were due two days apart and were both born early, so they are about the same size.

Here are a few of Leora taken when she was 5 days old:

Leora May is here!!!

Leora May is here!!! She decided not to wait until my scheduled c-section friday. At 37 weeks gestation (first day she was considered full term), my water broke at 3:16 yesterday (Thursday, 3/20) morning, we came to the hospital and they checked to make sure it was my water. I was having contractions about 2 minutes apart. They were awful (I thought that I was going to get to skip that). Oh well she was worth it. The oncall dr had me prepped for my c-section at 6 am and she was born at 6:36 am.5lbs 8oz, 19 1/2 inches long, blonde hair!!! She is soo perfect and we love her soo much!

36weeks 6days!!!

We are going to have a baby SOON!!! I'll update everyone after my dr appointment tomorrow, for now here's some new pictures!! Thank you, Gretchen (the photographer)!! I am still on bedrest right now (I got off the couch to take pictures though), but my blood pressure is doing much better and the non stress tests have been good! The dr. will let us know his plans tomorrow.

Baby Update!!

Leora giving kisses!!

Today we had another u/s and the baby is still measuring small (about 5lbs 10oz). I have been having non stress tests twice a week (which check the baby's heartrate when I have a contraction) and they have been fine. My blood pressure has been up so I am on bedrest now until she arrives, which is really boring. But we want our baby to be healthy, so I am following the drs orders.

Today the dr told us that he is going to deliver her next week (I will be 37 weeks then, which is considered full term). He has been talking with drs at another hospital that handles higher risk patients and this is what they feel is best for her.

Since she is still breech, I have a c-section scheduled for FRIDAY at 1pm!!! We are going to have a baby!
