doctors visits

Well I have heard parents (of more than one child) say they go to the doctors office more than anywhere else sometimes. Well that was my week this week. I only got to go two places since it has only been a week since my c-section, but those two places were to the doctors office and Jared's baseball game.

I went to the doctor with Jenna on Monday for a weigh in and check up, lo and behold she got extremely stuffy on Wednesday and they wanted to see her to make sure it wasn't interfering with her weight gain. Then on Friday Jared woke up and said he had a sore throat. So Craig took him to the doctor yesterday. We told Jared that the doctor could eat out last night just on our bills. I guess that is life.

We are going to try to get out and go somewhere today. I am going crazy sitting at home.

Pictures as promised

We are home

Sorry we did not update this, but lo and behold our floor at the hospital didn't have wi-fi. So here is the info.

Jenna Lauren was born June 10th, 2009 at 7:59 am.
8lbs 12 ozs
22 1/2 inches long

She is a very healthy little girl.

We made it home today. Jared is feeling a little left out so my niece Haley is here playing with him.

I will post pictures when I can find the camera from the hospital.

Tomorrow is the day

I have to be at the hospital at 6 am in the morning. If it doesn't quit storming I will not get all the prep work done.

We will let you know what her name is, weight, height, time, etc with pictures. Hopefully pictures.

first day at home

It is my first day at home on maternity leave (no baby yet) and I am bored stiff. Jared is asleep, I have snacked, I have tried to watch the afternoon tv show (to no avail they are all more than I want to watch or don't want to face) the house is clean (thanks to my mom, dad, grandma, and aunt) and now I am on the computer checking my email and decided I would let you know that I would never make a stay at home mom. I guess I don't know how to relax. I love work and helping others and it makes me use my brain. I hate to sit idle.

I am going to go try to make some homemade muffins. I bought some blueberries this weekend. Maybe that will occupy me for a while.

Baby gets here Wednesday morning. We are ready to hold her tight and bring her home to her big brother who is so excited to see her.

new sayings and words

We are big Veggie Tale fans and have been long before Jared, but especially since he has been big enough to watch them. He has always had a thing that he was scared of the one called Sumo. We had no idea why, but we never made him watch it once he told he didn't like it. Well in the last few weeks Sumo has become his favorite movie. It is about perservering through trials. Everytime we go to do something or he does something on his own he now tells us he is in training (like the character on Sumo) and that he will perservere until he gets it done. It has been great motivation for us when it was something he didn't want to do and he loves to be told that he has accomplished it.

His other new saying is that he is as thirsty as a camel. I don't care if he just drank a whole cup of juice or whatever if he wants more he says he is as thirsty as a camel and needs more. I guess he has heard somewhere that camels drink a lot and store it.
