Number Two is on the way!

Adeline is gong to be a big sister!

Around about June, give or take a few days. I am feeling pretty good, MUCH more sick than the last time and of course chasing around a WALKING (yes, WALKING!) 9 month old does not help things.
We are excited, and are glad to be back in Indianapolis.
I am going back to work at Riley in the Emergency Department and Jeremy will be staying home with Adelnie for a while.
We missed Indy more than we thought we would!

Anyway, that is our big news. More to come at a later date!

Sisters and Babies!

Jill, Katie, Adeline and Kenzie




Kenzie and Adeline!
Adeline is standing on her own and trying to take steps. SO big!
She weighs about 15 lbs and is still in 3 mos clothes. We are still living with Mom and Dad, but we are debating moving back to Indianapolis. Our house is not selling and we are getting pretty cramped over here. It has been SO great to have everyone so close and we are very thankful to have had the time close to everyeone.

To the Orchard

We went with Brian and Sarah to the apple orchard this Saturday. It was a blast! We got to pick our own apples and wander through the pumpkin patch. We had cider and apple goodies, then went home. It was a fun afternoon!

Love this carrier. Adeline likes it too!
I am a huge fan of wearing her insead of chasing her arould places and it keeps her up and interacting with everyone!

SO big!
Shorties by Milli. We are still staying with Mom and Dad, still working night shift. Adeline is pulling up and walking around things.
Still no teeth yet.

Adeline had a doctor's appointment today!
She now weighs 12 lbs, 13 oz and is 24 inches long. She is in the 15th percentile for weight, the 40th for height and the 70th for head circumference (I think, I may have the last 2 mixed up, lol!)
She also got caught up on her shots, poor baby. It was no fun for either of us.
I really like the new pediatrician, Dr. Stoltz. He was very calming and non-alarmist. The only thing was, I wish he would have put Adeline on something for her reflux, it is awful!! He did confirm that she for sure has reflux, and we are doing all the right things!! Maybe it would help her sleep at night, she is still only sleeping at the most a 3-4 hour stretch for me and nowhere near that for her Dad.
The new job is still just all right, not fantastic. I sure do miss my job at Riley but I am so glad to be closer to the family.
I can't put up any pictures for a while, apparently I have been uploading too many, we were about to the top of our bandwidth(I think that is what it is called!) for the month, so I will have to put some up sometime!

Roll Over!!

So Adeline is rolling both ways now, from back to tummy and tummy to back.
She does not really care about it though. She really likes to get up on her hands and knees and sit, I am sure she is going to just take off any day now!!
She is NOT liking her mommy being gone at night. It is really hard on Dad, and I am sure Grandma and Grandpa too.
She is really starting to show preference for people: Me, her Dad, grandma and grandpa and great grandparents for sure. She greets ALL of them with a huge smile, and seems to know strangers more now.
All right, back to work, more later!!

So Big!!!

Adeline has started to really bloom in front of our eyes!!
She is sitting up now for a min by herself, she is really grabbing things and has figured out how to get them to her mouth, she is starting to get upset when Jeremy or I leave the room.

She can roll all the way up on her side, and alllllmost over, then she usually falls back onto her back or tummy. She stands up like a big girl on your lap or the table, and she loves to chew on whatever she can get her hands on!

She watches the dogs like they are going to dissapear or something. We think her first word will be "dog-dog"! She love any dog of any size, shape or color!!

That is the update from us. No news on the house yet. We are still living with Mom and Dad in Greenup. I am trying to get my orientation over at work, but am still plugging along. It is hard on Jeremy when I work nights, because Adeline has started to not want to sleep when I am gone. Uhg. I will try to have new pictures soon!!

Adeline Marie is 5 Months Old!!

I can't believe she is going on 6 months--a half of a year!

More Pictures of Adeline

Flood of 2008

Here are some pictures of the flood from around Greenup, IL. The largest measured flood up until now was in 1957, and this year the river was 30 inches deeper, best anyone can tell. Wow. These were taken after some of the water had gone down, just a bit, we were in a state of emergency the day before and could not get out to see everything.

June Already???

Where has the time gone?? We are still staying with Mom and Dad, and boy it is interesting! When Katie and Kenzie are here, that makes 7 people and 2 dogs. Whew!!
Mom and Dad are going to Branson next week for their anniversary, so Jeremy and I will have the house to ourselves for a while.

Adeline is growing quick!! She will get her next shots soon, and she is starting to be REALLY interested in table food. But she still looooooooves her Mommy milk too. I am trying to decide whether to start her on cereal or not yet. . last night she slept from 11pm to 4AM, that is almost a record for her!

It is great to be back in the area, we are seeing a lot of my friends and family as well as Jeremy's family a lot. It is GREAT!! Jeremy is starting to get used to the area, and to know more people. Our directTV was hooked up this week YEA!! That makes it better too. . .Mom and Dad were enjoying it before Jeremy even got home!

We will be making quite a few trips back to Indy this month, as well as lots and lots of weekend plans. We have a baby shower, a wedding, and two birthday parties this month. Whew!

We have had quite a few looks on our house in Indy, but no takers yet. I am not getting paranoid yet, ask me around Christmastime and then I will be getting worried.

Our friends Matt and Leslie are expecting!! Baby Taggart will be here around late December and we are so happy for them. Congrats Matt and Leslie!!!!!

Roll Over!!

Adeline rolled over today from her stomach to her back!! She was laying on a play mat on her tummy for tummy time, I went to put some clothes away and heard her fussing and went back in there and she had rolled over!!
Wow. That is pretty early!! I am trying to post some pictures from the last couple of weeks and am having some trouble with the computer. So I will keep trying!

From my Front Porch Looking In. . .

Here are some pics from my Mom and Dad's house. THe front porch is probably my favorite part of the house. I spent a LOT of time on the porch swing as a kid, watching stomrs,talking on the phone, just hanging out. Now I am rocking Adeline on the front porch too!!

Adeline Marie is 4 Months Old!!

Well, Adeline is growing so fast!! She holds her head up great, love to sit in the Bumbo seat, and is very talkative and verbal about what she wants. She squeals, laughs, coos and has BIG smiles!!

It is great to be here with my Mom and Dad and so much closer to Jeremy's mom and grandma, as well as my sister and the rest of my family.

Pictures from This Weekend

We got Adeline a Bumbo Seat and she LOVES it! It is great for us as well, she can sit with us when we eat as well as sit and watch TV or watch me fold clothes.

Grandma Mary Alice and Grandpa Dale came and visited yesterday. We went out to eat and hung out around the house. Here are some more pictures from this weekend.

Adeline is 3 Months Old!!

Holy cow, where has the time gone?? Adeline is 3 months old today. She is starting to get into a predictable routine, and she is smiling more and more. She is holding her head up like a champ, and she is trying to sit up! She is also trying to decide if she likes her fist or the pacifier better. She is adapting well to my gong to work, staying with Dad and her 2 great-aunts that live close. Me, on the other hand, not liking gonig back to work so much. It is a LOT harder to heave her than I ever thought it would be. Not becuase I don't think she is fine with others, but becuase she is my baby and I don't want to miss anything!!

My project for this month is to make Adeline and Kenzie quilts. We will see if it gets done! Also, we are going to try to get moved home with my Mom and Dad by the second week in May. I will be starting a new job in a more adult ER, and Jeremy has a new job as well. We will be so glad to be closer to family. Adeline needs her grandparents and great grandparents.

We are working on selling the house. We had a showing last night and have another one on Sunday. We are also having an open house next sunday. Hopefully that will help us get the ball rolling. Jeremy and I both agree that we wish we could just move this house to land closer to home, that would be ideal. But, since that technology has not been discovered yet, we will make do with selling this house and looking for one that is hopefully better closer to home.

Here are the most recent pictures:

Pictures for Grandmas!!

Here are some more pictures of Adeline.
I have to go back to work tomorrow. NOT looking forward to it. I will let you know how it goes.

2 Month Checkup!

Well, Adeline had her 2 month checkup and her shots today. Ugh! She did very well with the shots, and the doctor said she looked great!

She weighs 8 lbs, 12oz and is 22 inches long! She is at the 10th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height. The dr also said not to worry about her spitting up/throwing up unless she stops gaining weight.
I was shocked at the amonth of shots she had to have. Five actual pokes, and then the rotavirus by mouth. She did a great job, as did her Daddy helping to hold her.
And Mommy was very proud of myself for not crying!!!!
