Gracie

Everyone is doing good just adjusting to our new life. Gracie is so sweet and a great baby !

Gracie's Here !!

She just could not wait until her scheduled date to come, she came 8 hours early. My C-Section was scheduled for 8 am Monday morning and I went in to active labor Sunday night at church so we headed to my parents to drop the boys off and head to the hospital. And she was born at 12:22 am Monday morning. Everything went good. She is a great baby, she eats every 3 hours and she sleeps great. The boys love her, just a little jealous at times. Thank you to everyone who ha been checking on us. Enjoy the hospital pics and we will post more pics soon.

Belly Pics

This is 36 weeks and 5 days- These turned out cute . ( thanks Megan for the idea)

Matt seems to think my belly is bigger with her than is was with the boys. The boys love to talk and kiss Gracie. Jonathan thinks you have to talk to her through my belly button- so cute !

If everything stays the same the C-section is Monday at 8 am .. We can't Wait !!

Gracie Update

I went in for a check up yesterday and everything is still the same no dilatation, so that is good.
They measured Gracie and she measured around 6.2 pounds and everything looked great they said she was a good size. But we would like to let her grow a little more. So my C-section is scheduled for Aug 11 if I can keep her in till then. So we are on the countdown and cant wait to see her. I get checked 2 times a week and at anytime if I have dilated they will go ahead and do the section. I am having contractions on a daily basis but at this point they are not changing anything. So I will continue to Bed rest ..

Vacation and Gracie Update

We went on a little vacation to Nashville this week and we had a great time. Matt had some training Monday and Tuesday so we spent time as a family in the evening those days. Then Wednesday we went to a State Park outside of Nashville to stay for a couple days. During our trip we went to the Zoo, Aquarium Restaurant, Shopping at the Opry Malls, Swimming numerous times, and the boys got to go on their first fishing trip.Jeremiah was the only one who caught a fish, but Jonathan just liked feeding them. During our trip the boys are learning to swim and are doing great with just water wings, we were so surprised how well they are doing. We had a great time as a family and really enjoyed the get away. I am working on getting all the pics from the trip up.

I have been having quite a bit of contractions so I went in this morning to get checked and I am 2 cm and 50 % effaced. I am 35 weeks and 2 days today. They gave me a shot to stop contractions and put me on bed rest. So hopefully these 2 combined will put a stop to the contractions and I can carry her a little longer. But we are so thankful for the amount of uncomplicated pregnancy that the Lord has blessed us with this time. We will keep you updated.
