TotSites

It's been a long time since I've updated this site, seeing as how the last entry was when Ade was just two weeks old. Today she turned 10 months old. Yeah....so for more recent news and pictures, visit her totsite:

YAY!

Approaching 2 weeks...

She is nearly two weeks old (Wednesday) and here are some more pictures of her from last week. When she's awake she's pretty photogenic!

She is FINALLY HERE!!!!

Adrienne Grace made her debut Wednesday at 1:04a.m., weighing in at 6lbs, 13oz, measuring 20in. She is absolutely wonderful and perfect and I wish I could say I was feeling the same, LOL!! We are at home finally and resting up. G.A.'s parents made it into town today and his mom will be with us for a while. We had a lot of visitors at the hospital (All of the Grandparents from Erica's side, Aunt Jess and Uncle Luke, Great-Grandma, Great Aunt Lolie, Aunt Katrinaa and Cousin Lilly, Aunt Jen and Uncle Mark, Jan, Anna and Jack Barchie) and expect more as the days pass.

Oh Tropical Storm Edouard!

I am really hoping that Adrienne doesn't decide to show up during the landfall of Tropical Storm Edouard. Don't get me wrong I really want her to make her arrival and can't wait to meet her, but tomorrow would not be the best time!! How funny is it that we do have a doctor's appointment though! He will be doing a non-stress test tomorrow to make sure Adrienne is still doing alright in there. And we will continue to do the same test every week until she comes (or until we reach 10 days after due date at which point we induce, thankfully!). So everyone keep praying for her safe arrival, sooner rather than later. And we will keep you posted.

Progressing...

We are in the home stretch where we visit with our doctor every week to check effacement/dilation and such. I will spare everyone details of this nature and say that things are going well. Hopefully this little girl will be here a little early (??) but that is not for me to decide! She may be getting used to the great service she's getting in there. Nice warm, dark room, not too much noise, plenty of food!! But I do think she has her moments where her comfort level is being compromised and I usually get a foot to the rib cage or something like that.
We will go to the doctor Tuesday to again check all those...neat details. Keep your fingers crossed for more progress!!!

June Baby Shower Pics

Here are some pictures from the baby shower we had last weekend here at the house. Again we are so blessed to have so many family and friends that wish us and baby Adrienne well. It was great seeing people we haven't seen in a long time and G.A. really enjoyed finally getting to be at a baby shower!! Our countdown is moving along, although it feels like a slow-moving train, it is definitely moving and she will be here before we know it!!! Can't wait!!

Newest Ultrasound 6/19/08

For those of you who were just as curious as we were, I give you Adrienne Grace. Here is the sweet girl's face...

Quite the surreal moment when you realize that you are looking at the face that will be looking up to you for the rest of your life. From what we can tell, she's got full, pouty lips and maybe her Aunt Jessica's nose??? We don't know on that one, could still be the roman nose of her mom and dad (and many other family members). She wouldn't cooperate fully for the 3D pictures, but instead was intent on laying sideways so we could see her easily in 2D. Throughout the ultrasound you can see her face many times. Here is the link to see the whole 15 minutes of it, http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=36651219. Everything is good, doctor was very pleased with her development and size (even though mom is not looking 8 months pregnant). She weighed in at 4lbs, 7oz and is on track to be around 7 1/4 to 7 1/2lbs at debut!! Can't wait to meet her now that we've seen her!!!
