About Me

My photo
We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

Six weeks old and a check up with the doctor.....


Our little Adah girl is 6 weeks old today. We celebrated by taking her to the pediatrician for her 6 week check up and first round of shots...what a way to spend your birthday! She did such a good job...she did scream and cry as the shots were being given....it was the saddest thing that I think Josh and I had ever seen! She just laid there with her face the brightest/darkest shade of red I had ever seen with tears pouring out of her eyes and mouth wide open with no sound coming out...heart breaking! Never fear mommy soothed her and stopped the tears and daddy made sure that he drove on the bumpy roads so that she would go to sleep! She is doing great now...full tummy and sleeping in her swing....patiently waiting to meet her Auntie Rachel who gets here this afternoon!

6 week stats:

Head circum. : 38cm (40th percentile)
Height: 22 1/4 inches (60th percentile)
weight : 10 lbs 12.5oz (60th percentile)

Doctor said that she looked absolutely perfect...healthy and beautiful!

What else is she doing at 6 weeks:
  • cooing...making "talking" noises
  • loves to lay on her changing table and "talk" to us ( she is happiest there)
  • sleeping 3-4hrs at a time at night
  • following Josh and I with her eyes all the time
  • smiles ALL the time....still haven't been able to catch one on camera
  • likes her carseat now....well only if we are driving in the car...hates the stroller
  • wearing size 1 diapers
  • mostly in 0-3 clothes....few newborn outfits still fit

Adah would like to wish her Uncle Justin and Aunt Lindsay good luck this weekend.....they are running in the Seattle Rock 'n Roll Marathon....this will be Justin's first race!!!!

Two posts in one day...what is wrong with me!

Don't get use to this! Here is the picture slide show of weeks 5 and 6! Don't forget to look down and the previous post to catch the weeks before!

Enjoy! Happy Father's Day!

Four weeks in one....

I know, I know I have been a horrible blogger lately! Things seem to be getting better....we are definitely learning alot more about Adah and getting use to her more. She isn't sleeping any better through the night but I guess we are getting use to not sleeping. She made a huge change this week....she LOVES her swing. This is a good thing for Josh and I and for my blogging....now I don't have to hold her all the time...she will go in her swing awake and put herself to sleep there! Super exciting! Although I do find myself missing her often so I will go and get her out and hold her....I don't care if that is a good or bad thing....I'm gonna do it anyway! Since I have been a bad blogger and haven't posted many pictures considering we have taken thousands....and our little beauty will be 6 weeks old this Tuesday...I decided to just make a slide show of the weeks and post it. For those (mainly family) that like to save them you can email which pics you would like to have.....and don't say all! :) Here are newborn through 4 weeks....I'm working on the 5/6 week one now and will post it later.

Enjoy! Oh and we go to the doctor on Tuesday for Adah's six week check up and first round of shots....I will be sure to post on Tuesday...or since Rachel will be here I can put her to work and have her be my personal blogger! J/K she can hold her neice while I blog!
