SuperBowl!!!

True Fans
Well this weekend was fun! My parents came down for a day or two and we got to hang out, and Cords family was down as well. On saturday I went to potato barn with Velda and Steve and then again with my parents. poor Avery had to be carted around all day but she didnt mind lol. Im glad my parents got to see her! i miss them and being able to share with them all the cute stuff she does so much. On Sunday we went to church and then watched the Superbowl! Awesome game, and the Giants won so yay! Mike and Jordan came to join cord and i and his family. it was fun we ate pizza and wings and i am sure everyone had at least 5 sodas lol.
This week I finally made an appointment for Avery to get her chekced for acid reflux and colic. Im sure she has both the poor thing. She gets pretty fussy at night and isnt always great furing the day but we love the good times. =) It's funny, I don't feel like she is an extremely hard baby (although Cord assures me she is) but when i compare her to others she is not easy that is for sure. i don't want to complain though, I have beautiful girl who just has issues with her tummy.
We went to get her shots the other day and I swear those people WANT to make these babies cry. She was asleep and I made the comment " maybe she will stay sleep" and the lady replied " oh no she wont" in a very sinister sounding tone. And then she Jabbed those giant needles into her poor little legs. She DID cry but only til the lady was done. And then we got her some tylenol for the pain. She got a mild fever but is ok now. She has a runny nose though.



She has started smiling and just recently began laughing. lol Its so cute when she wakes up laughing. Its fun to watch her discover he hands and learn to grab. i feel like a fool because i spend most of my day making rediculous faces trying to make her smile and laugh. It is so cute though i cant help it! i hate going to work because i miss her but at least i am with her most of the time.
I wonder when she will get hair, she is so bald except for her little mullet she has rockin in the back. Oh well, that is all I have for now. If you have any comments about ways to help with reflux or colic let me know.

Hectic...Crazy...

The other day Avery had her first HORRIBLE day. She cried from 3pm to 9pm I could not get her to calm down for anything. Lucky for me though before I went ape crazy my mother in law came down to visit her daughter and she was able to calm her down. She just had some gas. She has been beter since but still has some problems. I get nervous now though everytime she cries i pray she will stop at some point... lol

HALLOWEEN

For Halloween this year we went and hung out with Mike Ash Adam and Nicole. We just chatted and hungout but it was nice to be out of the house and visiting friends. I took Avery to the doc for her weight check before though and I forgot her costume!!! I felt so bad! It is a cute costume! Oh well we have pictures of her in it, and I guess it doesn't matter because we didn't take her trick or treating anyways. She is too little.

Here are some pictures of her in her costume...


Ahoy Matey! Lol She hated the eye patch

She slept through the whole thing. She just curled up! I couldn't do it that costume didn't look to comfy...

Sleep

So I know that they tell you before you have kids that you'll never sleep (and I think this is partially true) So can I just say I am glad that so far Avery sleeps very well? Sometimes she has some trouble getting to sleep but once she is down she sleeps through the night only waking up to eat. Its kinda sad that Ill never have another undisturbed nights sleep, but lets be honest it IS kinda my fault lol! My advice to everyone: read the WHOLE book don't just skim. lol Oh well Im just glad she is here, and sleep can come when Im dead, or well ya know what I mean lol...


Here is Avery sleeping and smiling...

I love this picture! She is sooo cute!

A Name...Finally!!!

Ok So finally after being alive for almost three days we have picked a name! Avery. Im so glad. lol The poor thing had no name, she must have been confused. =) She is sleeping better now thank goodness. My mom came down this weekend. It was such a relief to have her here. I miss her and my family alot and so when they visit its just nice. And of course she always helps out so much and that is always great. I love help! Cords family was down too. All the men in his family went to the ASU game saturday night and had a blast cause it was a great game! We won 31 to 20 after everyone thought we couldnt handle their offense! What now!? It was good. The women folk hung out at Jennifer's it was fun! We ate ribs and chatted and played with babies! It was fun! And we got Avery a little costume for Halloween. I wanted to dress her as a monkey but I am too lazy to make one and i cant find one anywhere! But it would be soo cute! I am sad I cant go to ryan and megans reception. They did it on a weekday so we cant go because we have some large tests and I just had a baby lol. Oh well, the pumpkin carving looked like a ton of fun and i want some of the candy! Preferrably paydays or almond joys ok!? and Kit kats lol and tootsie rolls.

Our Baby!!!!

Our Little Family



Well folks it's done! We had our baby! She was born on Tuesday in the evening. They induced me, and the birthing part was very quick and the labor too. lol She weighs 6lbs 1oz. She is very cute though. They let us go after 24 hours, she is perfectly healthy and I am fine other than some pain and flu-like symptoms. The first night home was fun lol. She had some trouble going "poopie" for the first few times and was not too happy. I think i got maybe 2 hours sleep sitting in our living room chair. lol She has slept well today though! Ive been trying to wake her but it isnt working so well. Oh well we will see how tonight goes! lol Thanks for all of your congrats!

Mike took these pictures! They turned out soo good!

Dilated

Well, as some of you know as of monday I am dilated at 4-5cm and 80% effaced. At first I thought this meant I was hours or days away from labor, but apparently you can walk around for weeks like this. My doctor told me to stay close to home but still go about as normal. lol yeah like I can stay CLOSE to home with work and what-not. Well, I am still pregnant with 2 weeks to go until D-day. My co-worker Jen wants me to hang on as long as possible since we are losing the other employee and still have not found a replacement. I may go today, though. I have been having contractions for a litle while and I am trying to measure them so it may be the day! Part of me wants to just have it done now! I want to see what she looks like! But then again, I still want days with just Cord and I ya know? Where we don't have a baby. But I am sooo excited to have her out and I know she will come when it's time lol. We still dont have everything up. Cord got the dresser together and I have all her clothes washed and put away. Our hospital bags are packed and the carseat is waiting to go into the car. So we are ALMOST set lol. House still needs to be cleaned. Im so lazy!


Me at 8 months preggo!
