He is here!!!

Cole joined us on February 11th 2012 at 10:06 a.m. He weighed 5lbs 10.5oz abd was 19 1/2 inches long. He has a bilateral cleft lip and palate. He is the most perfect baby in the whole world! :)

is it over yet?

I am done being pregnant!

I want to hold my little boy!

I want to kiss his cute little lips!

I want to be able to sleep comfortably.

I want to go 2 hours without having to pee.

I want to be able to walk without my uterus feeling like it's going to fall out. lol

I want to see Josh hold Cole!

I want to wake up every 2 hours to pump if it means I can feed Cole right after!

Hopefully it wont be much longer!!!

It's getting SO close!!

My sisters (witht the help of my mom and bestie) threw me a pretty awesome shower! I think it's probably the cutest shower I've been too!! I gave them a theme and they just went to the moon with it! I loved it so much! I was very caught up in all the guests that I didn't take ANY pictures at the actual shower...luckily someone else did!

Our food tables.

I Love this banner!! My gift table...We were very blessed! :)

We also had a make your own trail mix table to keep with the the "woodland" theme, and a design a onesie craft table. I can't wait to see Cole in all the cute onesies that people created!

Learning to be patient...

We had an ultrasound to find out if Cole has a cleft palette or just a cleft lip. It took us 3 ultrasounds to find out it could possibly be both but nothing is for sure because he keeps his hand in his face. The ultrasound tech wasn't very nice and I think he knew that and he didn't want to cooperate with her. We're still in the same boat with no more knowledge than we already had but I had my breakdown and am just going to go with the flow and trust in the Lord! Here is his beautiful face from Thursday! he has his hand in his face on his left side LOL

Cole Allen!!

I know this is sorta "old news" but I am still so excited about it and here is a picture of our little boy!!!

And here is my belly photo...24 weeks!! I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow!!

Baby Update! 8-2011

Yesterday we had our monthly OB appointment!

All my tests from last month came back great and I have only gained 1lb so far!!! :) YAY!!

We also have the schedule for all of our appointments until Peanut arrives!

Our ultrasound is set for October 11, and I cannot wait to know if I should refer to peanut as a him or her! There has been much debate and I just don't know! I will be happy with either!

I also scored a $300 glider rocker for $50, and it reclines and swivels! I'm pretty proud of this purchase! :)

Hot Hot Hot!!!

Well our air went out about 3 weeks ago. I called some repair people to come take a look, a fixed leak and $300 later it worked...for a day. So a week and a half later... yes, i waited a week and half to see if it would come back on by prayer...I called again, he came back out and informed me the unit had yet another leak...and possibly more than one...but one was all that was found and my air was fixed again...for 4 hours, yes 4 hours and then it went kaput. I called the next Monday and he came out and basically told us we were outta luck and we would need to purchase a new unit...for $7,000-$12,000...OUCH!!! So needless to say we are putting up with the heat and praying the fall comes quickly!
