Sisters

It's amazing how much Abby and Campbell look alike. In these pictures they were both 3 months old. Abby is in the 2nd picture.....my camera was horrible at the time.

Campbell at 3 Months

Oh, how the time flies! Campbell turned 3 months on December 2! It is really hard to get a good picture of her. As you can see in the last one she was not in the best mood.

Halloween Fun

Here are a few pictures from Halloween. We had such a busy weekend. Abby had a party at school on Friday, a neighborhood party to go to on Friday night, and then trick or treating on Saturday night. Abby had such a fun time.

Campbell at 6 weeks

Here are some pictures of Campbell I took last week. She was 6 weeks old! I am going to try to take more pictures of her. She is getting so big. It makes me sad that she no longer looks like a newborn. She is such a good baby. She eats well, sleeps well, and for the most part never cries unless she is hungry or needs changing. We have been really lucky so far!!

Oh Deer!!

What an interesting week!! I have been trying to go back to the gym a few times a week. I have really missed going and was glad to get back. But, last Sunday night I was driving home and came upon a deer standing on the side of the road. I was driving at a speed to where I couldn't just stop so, I held onto the wheel and closed my eyes and braced myself for whatever was going to happen. Poor little thing (well, not really) decided to run smack into my car. I opened my eyes and was still on the road, so that was a relief. But, I knew I had hit it pretty hard and had to have alot of damage to my car. So, a little shaken, I reached down to get my cell to call Brandon to tell him what had just happened, and it was missing from my cupholder (the usual spot). Thank goodness I was able to drive home because I could have easily been stranded if I had ran off the road. Well, my bumper had to be replaced and I was out a vehicle all week. Thankfully, Brandon had taken a vacation week this week and we were able to drive his truck all week. The poor little deer caused $1200.00 worth of damage to my car. Thank Goodness for Insurance!!

Campbell Reese

I just wanted to post a few pictures of the newest addition to our family. Campbell Delaney Reese was born on September 2, at 8:47 am. She weighed 8lbs and 7 ozs and is doing great. She is eating really well and is sleeping a pretty good bit at night! She has been getting up only once in the middle of the night and then up again around 5:00a.m.-6:oo a.m. We are trying to increase her formula intake so maybe she will go a little longer. Abby is doing well with her, although she never wants to leave her side. We went for a checkup yesterday and poor Abby was so worried we were going to have to leave her. So far, she has been a big help and is going to be a great big sister!

Baby C is on the Way!!

I went to the doctor yesterday and they scheduled a c-section for Wednesday, September 2. I am glad it is scheduled, but really wished it was sooner. Two weeks is a long time when you have been pregnant since last Christmas!! I am also scheduled for a possible tubal.....which means no more babies for us! I can change my mind at any time, but I think we are positive (if this baby is healthy at birth) we don't want any more little ones. I think two (especially being girls) is enough....we don't want to be outnumbered.

I really don't think it has hit me or Brandon that we are about to have 2 kids. Abby has been the only child for so long. I am sure it is going to be a big adjustment for all of us!!

Abby's 1st Day of School

Abby's 1st day of school was on Wednesday. She was excited about going back, but when we got there she was a little clingy. I guess it was the new teacher and new faces she saw when she walked in. When I picked her up she was all smiles, and she told me she had a fun day. I am so glad she enjoys going to school!

34 Weeks!!!

Iwent to the Doctor today for my 34 week appointment (although I will be 35 weeks on Monday). Everything is looking good, and I feel like this baby is no longer kicking but rolling around in my stomach. It is amazing to sit and watch my stomach change shapes when she moves around. I go back in 2 weeks and I think they are going to do an ultrasound and check the postion/size of the baby and hopefully schedule my c-section!

Playing some Golf

Brandon has been playing a little golf here lately.....so Abby decided she had to start playing too. We had to get her a small golf club at Target so she could hit golf balls with Brandon. Thank goodness she was hitting plastic golf balls!!

28 weeks!!

Yesterday I went for my 28 week appointment and everything is going well. I am starting to have trouble sleeping at night and I am tired by the end of the day, but other than that I feel pretty good. We also had a 4D ultrasound yesterday. It was amazing!!! We got so many good pictures. We had the 4D with Abby, but she didn't want to cooperate and was almost too large to do a 4D. We got lots of facial shots with this baby and we even got a few shots of her "Girly Parts". When I got home I pulled out Abby's 4D pictures to compare. They really look alot alike!
Everyone keeps asking me is Abby excited about the baby. Well, I believe she will be when it gets here, but for now she is just worried about the baby taking her toys. She keeps asking me when we are going to Babies R Us to buy the baby her own toys. She also knows her birthday is coming up right after the baby gets here. I think she is more concerned about herself than getting a new baby sister, which is okay.

Time to Play!!

Here are a few pictures of
Abby playing on her new
swing set. We are so glad
it is getting warmer !!

Countdown to Disney!

In 3 days we are leaving for Disney World!! We are so excited, especially Abby. We went last May and had so much fun. We were planning on going again this May but when we found out about me being pregnant we decided to go a little earlier! We also figured we better go this year because taking a baby to Disney World is out of the question (for us anyway)!! Hopefully, Abby will cooperate as well as she did last year and it will be a fun trip!

Another Bundle of Joy!

It looks like Abby is going to get a new baby brother or sister this year. I am 12 weeks along (as of today) and everything is going great. Most days I don't even feel pregnant, and I am still in my regular clothes (which was not the case with Abby). Abby is very excited and keeps telling me that it is a girl, but I think we are having a boy. She also keeps lifting her shirt up and asking "do I have a baby in my tummy". Bless her heart, she is is so confused! My due date is September 8th, but hopefully the baby will come in August so we don't have 2 September birthdays.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

I'm Back!!

Well, I realized last night that I have been away for a while. December was such a busy month. I felt as if I had somewhere to be or something to do every day. I say every year that I am not going to let the holidays get to me, but every year I feel like celebrating on December 26th. We did have a little bit of down time over the holidays. A few days before Christmas, Brandon and I went to Nashville (alone) for a few days. It was our gift from my parents. We stayed at the Opryland Hotel for 2 nights, saw the rockettes (awesome!!), shopped, and went on the ICE tour (not so awesome-too cold and mainly for kids). We had such a great time. That was so much better than any material thing they could have bought us.

Christmas was not so bad this year. My parents and brother came over Christmas morning to eat breakfast, but other than that we did nothing. Usually, we are running around crazy trying to make it every where, but not this year. I think I am spoiled!! Santa was also very good to Abby. She got her Sleeping Beauty vanity that she has been wanting for 3 months. She loves it -for now!! It has not moved from our living room since Christmas Eve. I know the minute I take it back to the play room it will never be touched again. After Chrismas was over, everything seemed to get a lot less hectic. We stayed at home for New Year's, went to a few movies (which we NEVER do) and enjoyed some time at home. Anyway, maybe since the holiday season is over I will have a little more computer time!!
