This has been an important weekend at our house...the passy is gone! Now, we know that some of you will think we took it away too early but we want it to be a distant memory before the baby comes in January and has one of its own. If you know Angie at all, you know how much she loves her passy. This was a hard decision to make and even harder to enforce. It breaks my heart to hear her crying in bed because she wants her passy to help her sleep. But, Mommy and Daddy are being strong and we are not giving in. As a matter of fact, I threw the passies away today. They are gone and never coming back. Our little baby is growing up so fast! We have been gradually lessening her time with passy over the last several weeks but Friday was the first full day and night without it. I am including one of the many pictures of Angie with her best friend so you can see just how much she loved it. I guess her stuffed Elmo will have to be her comforter.
I bet you are wondering what that title means! Well, Nick and I have been together for 11 years today. We starting dating on June 25, 1997. Now, I realize that this isn't our wedding anniversary so it may not seem as important to some of you, but it is very important to me. I didn't even realize the date until I was checking my email today. I find it hard to believe that the guy I fell in love with 11 years ago is still the guy who makes my heart flutter when he comes home and smiles at me. I can't believe that the guy I fell in love with all those years ago is now the father of my child and that he is the last thing I see before I go to sleep and the first thing I see when I wake up. I love him more today than I ever thought I could.
I know this was kind of a sappy post, but I just wanted to share this day with all of you!
Wow, we have had such a busy week! It was Adventure Week at church (our church's ramped up version of Vacation Bible School). Nick did the lighting and I served food to the volunteers. I didn't get to actually see the kids in action but from the bits and pieces of conversations that I heard, the week was great for the kids. Mike Linch, our pastor, came in the kitchen last night and said he just had a whole group of children accept Christ. To see the joy on his face was just wonderful. Angie did ok in the childcare considering that she didn't know any of the people taking care of her.
Speaking of Angie, she went to the doctor yesterday. She is 30 and 3/4 inches tall (the 75th percentile) and she is 19 pounds 9 ounces (the 15th percentile). She did not like it when Dr. Clements examined her, I think that's just because she was forced to lie down when she wanted to walk around. She had to get 4 shots (poor baby). She did ok with them but she was running a fever today so she got more Tylenol.
Pregnancy wise, there is nothing to tell. Things are pretty much just the same. I go to the doctor on July 2 so I will have more to report then. That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by!
Hello again. We have had a big weekend here at the Adair house. Nick took his big certification exam on Saturday. We are very happy to have that behind us. He has been studying very hard for the last several weeks. We won't get the results for a few months but at least the test is behind us.
Angie got another tooth!! It is her top right tooth. We are very excited considering she has been working with only 2 teeth since December. We also found out that she likes lemons (she is her mother's daughter). We went out to eat after Nick's exam and I had lemonade. I decided to see if she would like it...she loved it! Then we decided to see what she would do with a lemon wedge. She tried to take bites off of it and wanted to finish it. The funny thing about it is that I craved lemons the entire time I was pregnant with her!
Small update on the pregnancy. It seems as though the worst of the morning sickness is behind me. I still occasionally feel a little sick, but for the most part I am feeling back to my old self again.
Well, that's all for now. I'll try to update again soon.
Well, we thought we should tell you a little bit about our precious little Angie. She is almost 15 months old now. She says about 12 words (some of which only Nick and I understand). She runs around this house, and yes I do mean runs. She is always asking what things are and she loves books. We just bought her a kiddie pool and though she didn't like it at first, now she loves it! In fact, her friend Ryan is coming over today so they can go "swimming" together. I would post some pics of her in her pool, but Nick isn't here and he is the one who knows how to do all of that. I am the typist, he is the picture guy.
Angie seems to understand everything we say now, even though sometimes she likes to ignore us. She loves Elmo...we watch Sesame Street every day now. Its hard to believe that a show I watched as a child is now entertaining and teaching my daughter. Angie loves our cats, though they just run from her. She tries to get them to play with her but they are too lazy for that. She loves to talk to her Dada on the phone. Well, that's all for now. I have to go play with my precious little princess!
Well, I am now 9 and a half weeks. I have had my first ultrasound and saw the baby's heartbeat and we know that everything is ok. I am having the woes of morning sickness and fatigue but I guess that's just all part of the package. This is nothing worse than I experienced with Angie so I guess you could say I am used to it. I have found that the miracle cure for my morning sickness (what a joke, its more like all day sickness) is Sprite. Just give me some Sprite and I'm good to go.
We'll try to keep y'all updated on my progress and how the baby is doing. I may not have a lot to post during the early stages, but as we progress I am sure I will have more to say. That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by!
We just wanted to give you a little background on us. Nick and I have been married for 4 and a half years and we welcomed Angie in March 2007. We are now pregnant with our second baby and it is due January 8, 2009 (I happen to think its a girl but we'll just have to wait and see). We want to use this blog to update our family and friends about Angie and the pregnancy. We hope you enjoy!
