So Blessed!

Colston and Laine are growing so fast! He is 20 months already and she is 6 weeks! We are enjoying them so much. Colston loves her and is so gentle with her. We barely had to teach him to be gentle-- he just knew. She changes every day, literally. He is talking up a storm and has his own little language. Most of the time I understand what he is trying to tell me, the other times I just pretend. :-)

Couldn't Be Happier!

Kyle and I are so truly blessed! Our babies are so healthy and growing so fast! Laine is 6 weeks already and changing literally every day. Colston is 20 months and just enjoying life. He is so much fun and so enjoyable. He's talking so much and definitely has his own little language. It's so cute!

Laine Has Arrived!

Beautiful baby girl Lainey! June 9, 2011 8lbs 4 oz. 20 inches long

Happy and healthy! We are blessed!

She'll be here soon!

It's finally JUNE! Lainey be here soon! I went to the doctor today (38 1/2 weeks) and he told me I'm 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. I hadn't made this much progress with Colston at this point, but you just never know. The Dr. said it could be tonight or she could still be late. We'll see. At least these Braxton Hicks contractions are actually doing something-- they are quite uncomfortable at night, especially. Stay tuned!

I Feel So Blessed

Here I sit, feeling baby Laine move and move inside me at 35 weeks pregnant. I just read a woman's heart wrenching blog a few minutes ago about her son, Isaac that was born at 29 weeks and 4 days weighing only 1 lb. 7oz. He passed away after being in their lives, hooked up to machines and fighting for his life for 4 weeks. With tears in my eyes, I have to remember never to take my blessings for granted. Why do some people have uneventful and smooth pregnancies and other people, people who have been trying to conceive for a long while, have such difficult ones? It doesn't make any sense and it's not fair. The faith this couple has is so admirable and the love they have for each other is unbreakable. The good news is, they just adopted a healthy baby boy, Gavin. They are so happy beyond words. He is perfect in every way and they are the perfect parents to this baby boy. I met Melissa and Zo through Sydney, Kyle's step sister. Melissa is Jason's sister and Jason is Sydney's new husband. Wonderful couple... I just had to write about them as sort of a tribute to them-- how strong they are!

7 Weeks to Go!

We had our 3D ultrasound today! I so enjoyed this when we did ours with Colston so I knew I wanted to do it again with this baby. She is beautiful already! I can't believe we only have 7 weeks to go. I know it will fly by! She looks like she's ready to come out and meet the world already. Kyle and I brought my parents who are babysitting for Libby while Erin and Josh are in Italy... poor babies. Haha! Libby and Colston came too and were so well behaved.

First Trip to Disney!

On March 3, Kyle and I took Colston to Disney World for the first time. We met my parents there and stayed altogether in their timeshare. We had a wonderful time and got to see many of the Disney characters. Colston enjoyed posing for pictures with Pooh Bear, Piglet, and Eeyore. We went on lots of rides including It's a Small World and the Pooh Bear ride. We also went to Animal Kingdom and took a safari ride-- Colston has seen lots of wild animals in books, but loved seeing them in person. My parents watched C Bird Saturday night and Kyle and I had date night at a yummy Cuban restaurant. The food was so good!

A good time was had by all!!
