OKC so far

Well we have been home for 3 weeks (tomorrow) now and we are having a blast! I cant believe so much time has already passed, it seems like we just got here! Hadley has been having so much fun getting to know so many new people!
Last week we went to Arkansas to see my Mom and some friends and had a great visit! We wish we could have stayed longer, but had to get back to a busy, busy weekend! Saturday morning we had family pics/ Hadley's 4 month old pics done! The photographer said that Hads was the BEST baby she had ever shot!!! She was such a good girl being passed around and posed and million different ways! I cant wait to see how they turn out and will post some as soon as they do. We then went to my brother's baseball game! He did such a great job! I cant believe how grown up he is... and such a great little ball player!
Sunday morning we had my little sweet pea's dedication at church! Once again she was amazing! Pretty sure she was born for the stage! ;) Afterwards we all when out to lunch and a great time with family.

Hadley also rolled over for the first time today! I cant believe how big and strong she is! She amazes with something new every day. We have a doctor's appointment in the morning for a 'bump' on her shoulder that doesnt seem to want to go away so please say a little prayer for her. We are sure its nothing but are still going to get it looked at.

We still have a couple of weeks left here in OKC so I will keep you posted on our trip!

Love

Formula????

So the time has come...
I have been breastfeeding (pumping) for 14 weeks now but have slowly been producing less and less milk! We are thinking, as early as tomorrow, that we will have to start supplementing some formula. I just cant keep up with my little porker! haha. So the question is... WHAT FORMULA! I seriously stood in the formula aisle for 30 mintues today and left empty handed! I just dont know which one is best! Do I go with the most expensive one, or one that says ' closest to mothers milk' or with DHA (or something)??? There are so many and they are quite pricy! I just want to pick the best one for her, for the best money! Any suggestions are MORE than welcome.

Other than that, we are in Oklahoma and LOVING it! I miss being here so much! I want get into that right now though... We hope to see everyone while we are here. Hadley has been a BIG hit so far. She is such a sweet little girl and Loves everyone.

More pics soon.

Love

3 Months Old

I honestly cant believe 3 months has pasted since the birth of our little girl! She is so amazing! We are so blessed! She is growing and changing every day. I am glad she is so healthy and growing but sometimes I get sad that she is growing so fast... Graham says every day that he wishes she could stay this size forever and I totally agree! She is just so cute !
We went to the doctor last week and she was 12 lbs, 1.5 oz and 23 1/2 inches! This puts her is the 75% in weight and  90% in height!!! She is such a BIG girl! :)

Anyhow, here are a few of the newest pictures of our little sweet pea...  Enjoy!

Lets work out.... YEAH RIGHT!!!

So even before I got pregnant, and during my entire pregnancy I said that the second I could work out again I would be ALL OVER IT!!! Well 11 1/2 weeks after giving birth I have been to the gym a total of 1time! Thats right, ONCE!!! I cant believe how hard it is to make it to the gym. Even harder since G isnt here right now. It seems like there is never enough time in the day! I really hope other Moms have this same struggle! I am going to try and go EVERY day this week! haha. At least I set goals right...

Bath time!
We are having such a struggle with bath time. Hadley absoulutly HATES baths! She screams bloody murder the entire time. I can not take it! It makes me so sad to upset her so baths are not the most important thing in our lives right now :( It may be gross but she is only averaging 2-3 a week right now. I clean her with a cloth every day but is it bad that I would rather not give her a bath because of how upset she gets? I hope this doesnt make me a bad Mom? Any suggestons on how to make her like baths is more than welcome????

Today was a gorgous day out so we went for a big walk and play on our patio for a while. She loves being outside and I think she will LOVE Spring in OKC and Summer here...

19 days until OKC! We cant wait to see everyone.

Love
Jamie

P.S. Sorry this was a really random post.... ;)

Shots!

Well today was a hard day...
Hadley had to get her 2 month old shots (a couple of weeks late) and I had to take her because G is out of town! It was HORRIBLE! 3 needles in one sitting is aweful! I honestly dont think I could sit through gettting 3 at once! So mean to do to an 11 week old. :( She did really well. She cried pretty hard for a couple of minutes but was laughing again soon after! She is such a trooper. I defiantly shed a tear (or ten)!
She is now 11wks, 2 days old, weighs 11 pds 11 oz and is 23 1/4 inches long! She is in the 75% in height and 50% in weight! I cant believe that she has gotten so big! She laughes constantly and is such a happy baby. She is sleeping through the night which is AMAZING! We are so blessed!
Attached are a couple of the newest photos!

Going for a Walk :)












Big Game between the U.S. and Canada... We wont talk about the outcome ;)

10 weeks, 2 days

Hi everyone!
Well we are back in Calgary! Its so nice to be back in our house, and have my bed! :)
Graham is only here until Tuesday (which sucks) but al least we get a few days together... Hadley is going soooo great! She is growing like crazy! We had here weighed and measured yesterday and she is 11 pounds, 8 ounces and 23 3/4 inches long! She laughs and smiles constantly! She is a great eater and sleeper (thank goodness)! :) She has been sleeping in her crib for 2 days now and is doing great! She slept last night from 9:30 - 8:00 am!!! That is the latest she has slept and of course it was the morning that I had to pick up my sister at the airport at 5 am!!! haha! Oh well, I am use to being up early by now...
Speaking of... SHANNON is here! Hadley is loving her Aunt Shannon! And I am pretty sure Shannon is loving Hadley! :)

Graham and I are loving being parents! We LOVE Hads so much! We are so blessed.
Graham is still working in Saskatchewan. He hates it but it great money for the time being. We have been out there with him for the last few weeks which is hard because there was NOTHING to do and its so cold out there. Me and Hads are here (Calgary) for 2 weeks and have a few doctors appointments. Hadley has her first set of shots on Friday and I am so dreading it. I know she has to have them but I DO NOT want to be there. On the 12th we are heading back to see G for a couple of weeks and THEN OKLAHOMA!!!!

We cant wait to see everyone in OKC!

Update

Hi Friends!!!
Well its been a while... We have been a busy family. With G's job we have be 'moving' around A LOT! I am actually in Saskatoon this week because Graham is on graveyards for the week so I thought me and Hads would spend some time with G's family and The Prosofsky's. Its been a great week, but we are defiantly ready to get back to Daddy.
Hadley is growing like crazy! She is offically out of all newborn clothes and  into 0-3 month! She is such a happy baby. I am always scared to brag too much because I dont want to jinx myself, but she is amazing! The only time she cries is when she is hungry and sometimes when she gets over tired! We read and have been trying to follow "Baby Wise". I am not sure what all we have done because Hadley has made it so easy for us? She is a very routine baby. She sleeps most nights from 11-6 or 11:30-6:30! I know, 7 weeks old... We are spoiled! Hopefully she keeps it up.

We have also scheduled her dedication for April 11th at BFC (in OKC) for the second service...
We would love for as many friends and family who can make it to please come!!!

We are soooooo looking forward to making the trip to OKC! We dont have the exact dates because it depends on G's work, but its looking like we will be headed down around the 23rd of March - the end of April!!! I cant wait to see everyone! And Hadley is very excited to meet everyone!

Well that is all for now.

Love
Jamie, Graham, and Hadley

P.S Auntie Shannon will be in Calgary on the 26th of this month and Hadley and Mommy couldnt be more excited!
