In honor of the coldest day of Jayna's life. (15 degrees below 0) We bought her an igloo from Ikea! She loves playing in her little "snow fort". Grandma Jill pops in to play~
Jayna turned 6 months old on Tuesday. I can'y believe my baby is growing up so fast! For her "half-birthday" her daddy and I took her to a kids concert at an indoor park, and we had dinner with her Grandparents and Aunt Jessica. Her Grandma Cherly even baked Jayna her own sweet potatoe. (Jayna's FAVORITE) She is growing by leaps and bounds. We got for her half year check up in a few weeks and I am so curious to see how much she has grown. She is learning new things all the time. She can ...
I realized I had not posted anything in a month! Man has this month gone fast! Jayna has a new cousin little Akinori! He's sure a cutie too! We went to visit him when he was a week old. I held him and couldn't believe that 4 short months before my little baby was a tiny newborn.... time flies! Jayna is almost 5 months and BUSY. She is 14 1/2 lbs. She is rolling over and sticking everything in her mouth. She is such a drooler! She has been very interactive! She loves playing with her ...
Last week little Jayna went on her first plane ride to El Paso, Texas to visit Jaysen's family. Jayna met her great-grandparents and many cousins. She really liked all the attention and was soooo good the whole trip. Here is little jayna on the Airplane. Us at our Layover in Dallas Jayna and her 2nd cousin Ben
On Wendnesday mornings Jayna and I attend a LLL playgroup. (Since she is so little it is really just socialization for me!) Today we met at the MN zoo. Jayna slept through most of it but did stay awake for most of the dolphin show. We bought a year pass for our family, so hopefully as she gets older we will get to use it lots!
I woke up Sunday morning about 3:20 am with strong regular contractions. I took a shower and brought the new puppy for a walk. By 5:00 my contractions were 4 minutes apart so I woke up Jaysen and he showered. I called the Dr. and we left around 6 am, droppped the puppy off at my parents, and off to the hospital we went. They checked me and I was dilated to four, so they gave us the good news that we were there to stay! I walked the halls stopping every few minutes to lean against Jay during ...
In my teenage years, my relationship with my parents was awful. I felt they didn't understand me, support me or even care about me. I remember my mom telling me many times, I love you, but I don't like you very much. I thought I would never "get" my dad, and I could never imagine us having a relationship or spending time together for fun! Even after I left for college, our relationship was rocky, and somewhat awkward, I think it took a year of me being away from home before it could start...
We had pur walk through on our new house yesterday. I am sooooo excited, all the options and upgrades we picked turned out beautifully. We are feeling very blessed that we are about to move into our brand new home. Three more days until we close! I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday we were looking at houses, and now we are almost home! The construction company is really nice, and is letting Jaysen move a bunch of stuff into the garage before we close, because of me being preg...
Hello all~ We had our ultrasound today, and the baby looks great! We not only found out that we are having a girl, but a healthy girl!!!! My quad screen came back great, the tech said I got an A++, no sign of any defects. All the organs look wonderful and the heart is strong. The baby weighs about 13 ounces right now, and is right on track for size and weight. As for me I gained 4 more pounds since last visit to bring me up to 12 pounds so far, so I am gaining weight well. My bell...
I have quite the active little baby inside me. Our little peanut is quite fond of kicking and moving around my little belly. Baby seems to be most active when I lay down for a rest, apparently baby is on their own schedule!!!! I had a dr. visit last week, and everything is going well, I had gained 4 pounds since the last visit so I am happy about that, hope that I can start gaining 1-2 lbs a week at minimum so baby can stay healthy. I am really starting to get my appetite back, and having ...
We just started working with a real estate agent to begin our home buying adventure... Wow, what a lot of work just even deciding which houses you are interested in looking at. We want to start by looking at townhouses, There were 400+ in the cities and prices ranges we were interested in, so our realtor weeded through them for us and came up with 100+ for me to look at. Last night I narrowed it down to 22 and then today 12. That is just townhouses we are in seeing! I can only imagine what...
A year ago tommorow, Nov 14th, We gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Jayden Lynn Anderson. She was born at 10:10 am. A year ago at this time I was in my 2nd trimester, sitting in the doctors waiting room, my mother's intuition telling me somthing was wrong with my baby... She was born without a heartbeat, but still beautiful.... Happy first birthday my darling daughter, you are no longer in my hands but in my heart forever.
