April at 2 months

April Hope is now 10 pounds, 9 ounces and is 22 3/4 inches long. She had her doctor's appointment this morning and was brave during her first shot! She didn't cry as hard I know she could have :)

April is a very happy girl ~ usually smiling and looking around unless she's hungry or sleepy. Her fussy time of day is at night time, but she's done pretty well that last few nights, so maybe she's outgrowing that.

She likes hanging out in her bouncy seat, riding in the car (as long as we're moving!), and looking at people's faces. She always gives Chloe and Dad big smiles when they talk with her! She is doing great with tummy time and can hold herself up for a little while before needing a rest :)

We love you April Hope! :) Can't wait to see you keep growing and learning!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
