Snow Bunny, Little Rockstar, and the Hospital

Good Evening Everybody,

With Brittney's idea to put up baby pics, here are some kid pics and a picture of the pregnant lady. Leona was waiting in the car for her first try at skiing about two weeks ago. The picture of Luke was taken tonight after his hair was cut as "styled" this afternoon (I didn't know what to do with it so the stylist went to town and gave him a faux-hawk...oh man was he excited about that). The second picture is of Sarah's belly monitor on Wednesday night. The nurse came in a minute later thinking Sarah had a Uterine Rupture; however, as you can see in the first picture, it's actually Sarah laughing like crazy (I was trying to keep the mood light amidst worrying news).

As a final update: Sarah lost her mucus plug tonight. If you don't know what that is, don't worry you will someday and that day can probably wait. Have a good evening everyone, and please keep Sarah and the baby in your prayers.

Thanks,

Thom

There's just not enough baby talk!

So all this baby talk is making me feel guilty for not posting more about our little Abster (yes that is one of her many nicknames we have found ourselves using). Abby is doing amazing, she is such a good baby (though I really don't have anything to compare her too...we may find out with our next kid that she is a little trouble-maker but for now she is a pretty dang good baby!)

It's true Matt and I haven't had a full nights sleep since she was born (which trust me we aren't surprised in the least about) she does sleep pretty good and I think we are really lucky. The best night we've had so far was when she only woke up once around midnight and then slept until 8am, talk about a good baby!

No offense to everyone out there but I think I can honestly say Abby is the cutest baby in the world! Matt and I make pretty stinkin cute babies just saying. She is constantly making the cutest faces and thankfully I have been able to capture a couple of them on camera. She isn't smiling a ton yet but every once in awhile she sneaks one and it's adorable! I can't wait until she is smiling and laughing all the time.

Matt and I have come to the conclusion that Abby is pretty smart cookie! She is always looking around, observing everything she can. She loves looking at lights, peoples faces, and whatever tv show mom has on at the moment. She loves her binky and though she knows how to yank it out of her mouth she always knows how to maneuver it back in. What a smart little lady!

She absolutely loves being held 24-7! Matt says she is like her mom and hates to be by herself, I think I agree. Whenever she falls asleep if we try to put her in her cradle she starts crying. Once she is being held again though she instantly falls back asleep. She is just so at ease when she is in someones arms (and so far it can be just about anyone's arms which makes it nice for me). She can also tell the difference between our bed and her cradle and pretty much hates her cradle. I can't blame her though, our bed is pretty stink soft and cozy!

I can't wait for all of you to meet our little baby girl. I know by far she has the best family out there! For now we'll have to keep you all in the loop via pictures, enjoy!


Check out that grin!

She just loves being held

Like mother like daughter

Sometimes she can be a little crazy!

She's got the binky down!

Good morning all. I just noticed something on this blog site. "Be nice to your kids. They may choose your nursing home." A couple of thoughts. First, no nursing home for either of us. Period. When the time comes, we have plenty of back yard. Put us down, bury us in the back forty. Second, just in case any of you have forgotten, we have been nice to you. So, if choose you must, choose wisely. Third, any such facility, to BE chosen, must have an ample library. And I don't mean a selection of magazines like "Entertainment." Poor library and I will be back to haunt you. Nightly and loudly. Finally, I prefer being put up in one of your homes rather than in a nursing home. How else can I provide your just desserts, for all those years of raising the lot of you? Diaper changing, spoon feeding; I mean, it could be loads of fun for you. At least for us . . . :)
