23 week Comparison

Hadley/ Munchkin


With Hads at 23 wks, I had gained 10 pounds, with Munchkin I am up 11 pounds (started 4 pounds lighter)
I feel like I looked bigger with Hadley in the picture? Rounder?

What do you think?

Sweetness from the weekend!

Sorry if my belly offends anyone but I am in love with these pictures...

After the family pool party this weekend Hadley and I spent some time out on our deck enjoying what is probably the last couple of weeks of warm weather... Hadley played with her toys while I relaxed in the lounge chair trying to get a little sun on my pasty skin.

Hadley decided that she wanted to cuddle and love on me and the baby... Here are the pics, or the best I could get by myself on my phone!

Love this angel!


Love her


Trying to get one with both of our faces in it... Fail!

'Petting Mommy'

My FAVORITE picture! Giving the baby hugs... Please excuse my unbuttoned pants! haha.
Hadley is going to be such an amazing big sister! I am so excited to see these two little ones become best friends over the years...

Hadley and Baby

Well this morning was a VERY rough morning for Hadley and I...
We were accepted into the daycare/preschool that G and I absolutely love that is across the street from my building downtown and Hadley had her 1st day this morning. We still have our Nanny until the end of the month but since we had to pay for the August spot at school we decided it would be nice to transition Hadley slowly into the childcare setting... She will go one day this week and 2 days a week for the rest of August, full time starting September 6th. G is still out of town working so it was just me braving the big drop off today and as I expected, it was AWFUL!!!! I got to stay for about 45 minutes this morning (they encourage that) and while I was there Hads was having a blast! She played with the other kids, toys, and had breakfast with the other kids! The teachers were so impressed, but I warned them to 'just wait' until I left the room! We gave hugs and then I got her playing with blocks while I snuck out... It took about 90 seconds for her to realize that I wasn't there and to become very upset. I told outside watching (she couldn't see me) and bawled like a baby as I watched them try and calm her down! It wasn't working so I asked the director to take her soother to her! She isn't typically allowed to have it except when sleeping, but whatever calmed her down at this point was FINE BY ME!!!! She took the soother and calmed down right away. I stayed for another 10 minutes or so and watched as they started the bubble machine and she someone content watching the bubbles and holding hands with one of the little boys.
I left reassured by the director that she would email me with an update later in the morning... She said Hadley is doing really well! She will cry for a minute and then find a new toy to play with, cry for a minute, then find someone to hold hands with (this REALLY comforts her) , so forth and so on. I will go check on her on my lunch break and hopefully things will just get better and better! I am sure that we will go through this every time for the next few weeks, but I am praying it gets easier for both of us!!!!
The teachers (yes, actual teachers) are fabulous and all of the kids seemed very well mannered and sweet! I love this place and hope that Hadley grows to love it. I know that it will really help her grow and develop!

As for baby... I am 21 Weeks today! Baby is growing and moving a lot more lately. Kicks are getting stronger and stronger and I am sure G will be able to feel them the next time we see him! I have a OB appointment on Friday and will update again then, but don't really expect anything that new, maybe a few stats!

Her are bump pics from today!



Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!!!

Love,
Jamie, Hadley, and Graham

New Infant Seat!!!

Hello All!

Its been a while... Hadley and I were in OKC for the last week (will blog about that later) but for now... The Baby.. Hard to believe that I am 20 weeks and 1 day!!!! This pregnancy seems to be flying by. At our 18 week ultrasound everything looked great! Baby is measuring a couple of days ahead (my tall children) and looks amazingly healthy! This baby seems to be a lot more laid back than Hadley... Perfectly content just lounging around not getting overly excited about too much! He\she might just be our 'lazy baby'! haha. We will see when baby arrives. Hadley was always so active in womb but has been a very easy going baby. I am so interested to see the differences in personalities between our children!
I have an OB appointment next Friday so I can give some stats... Cant wait to hear baby's heartbeat again! I love that sound more than anything! Hoping to schedule another ultrasound for 28 weeks, but they are pretty stingy with ultrasounds around here unless they feel they are medically necessary???

We pick up are infant car seat while in OKC!!! Hard to believe that we are on our 2nd one!!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
