As of right now Ever's favorite princess is Rapunzel and that's who she wanted to be for Halloween this year. And if anybody knows me, they know Halloween is my favorite holiday and we dress up EVERY year. Greg loves it. He does. Ok, love may be a strong word but he's a trooper every year going along with his wifes crazy costume antics. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just two weeks ago, I accomplished a huge goal for myself. I finished my first half marathon. It was the annual HITS Marathon of Oklahoma City. It was a really big event with so many runners. I set a goal about 4 months ago that I wanted to do this. I made up a 20 week training program and kept it on the fridge the entire time to keep me motivated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I grew up hating to run,especially in school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Horrible "fun run" in high school. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the last 4 years or so, I have come around to really enjoying the sport and decided to do something big. I started getting up early so I could run before Greg left for work. That too was something I didn't like; so not a morning person.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But in the end, it paid off and I'm so glad I did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is about 6 am. Nervous...</div>

After finding just the right pumpkins, we headed to the petting zoo where Ever got to feed a bunch of animals. They had goats, llamas, pigs and sheep. She couldn't get enough of the miniature goats that just loved her. She would have stayed and fed them all day long. They both had a ball at the pumpkin patch this year. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">So my due date for Liv was January 7, 2014 which
was still 3 weeks away. I went into the doctors for my 37 week checkup just to
see how everything was progressing. I was excited since today they were going
to do a sonogram so we would get to see her. Dr. McQuillen came in and checked
me out then started the sono. She kept telling me how great liv was looking
except that my amniotic fluids were kind of low. After being quiet for a few
minutes and taking some measurements of the baby's picture she says my fluid
levels are looking too low for comfort. She looks up and smiles and says I
think we need to have this baby sooner rather than later. I smile back, nodding
in agreement and tell her I would love that. She gets up and says, "Great,
I’ll call the hospital and see when they can get you in." I just sat there
for a Second in shock, then snap back to it and utter "um...what?" I
thought she meant maybe a few days early to be safe but no, she meant right
then and there.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 107%;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">She left the room for a minute to go make
arrangements with the hospital then came back in asking if I wanted to go
straight to the hospital or wait a few hours. I was still in shock at this
point and the only thought I could keep thinking about was the fact that we
still had no idea what we were going to name her. I couldn't go to the hospital
without a name for our baby girl. I was nowhere near ready for this to happen.
Doc was giving me no choice since she said from the looks of things, she would
feel better about getting the baby out tonight.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I leave the office, still
feeling shocked and starting to panic. I call Greg at work and he doesn’t
answer. Of course I then really start to panic just because he’s not answering.
I then proceed to call him about 10 more times back to back while driving home.
Still no answer so I call my mom to tell her the news. Her first reaction was
great and helped me calm down. She started laughing and was just thrilled. She
was so excited, she was making me more excited than nervous. I hang up with her
as she’s now trying to see if she can book a flight ASAP to come out and help
since we didn’t have anyone planning on being there for another 3 weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally when I’m about
home, Greg calls me back. He answers jokingly and says, “Saw tons of your
missed calls, are you in labor or what?” I simply say, “Yup.” He laughs a
little then asks if I’m serious and I tell him everything the Dr. told me. Of
course today was one of his work days where he is about 3 hours away from home
on a job so he was going to finish up quick and head home. So Greg finally gets
home and we finish a few odds and ends at home and make plans to leave Ever
with our friends for the evening. We go out to dinner to celebrate the news
that we are now super excited about, drop Ev off at our friends house and head
to hospital.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were instructed by the Dr. to induce
labor so as to lessen the chances of complications from the low amniotic fluid
levels. I was nervous to be induced from all the stories I’d heard about
Pitocin. Lucky for me they have come around to a new way of inducing with a
tiny little pill they quarter and insert vaginally. It’s supposed to be much
easier on the body while still kick starting labor. I got my first dose of this
pill around 11 pm and they said to expect another dose every 2-3 hours. By this
point, Greg and I are both tired so we decide to try and get some sleep while
we can. Around 1:00 pm they come in to check me, I was dilated to a 2 at this
point and they give me another dose. About an hour later, I start feeling my
first contractions. It’s the middle of the night and they are very mild and
only about every 5 or 10 minutes. I’d count them lasting about 30 seconds and
would usually fall asleep in between. An hour after that they check me and say
I’m about a 3. Contractions are still manageable at this point. Sometime in the
early morning is when things start getting a little painful. Around 6 am I’m
really feeling some action and they come to check me and I’m about a 5. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first birth with Ever,
I never watched the monitors so I couldn’t see the rate and length of each
contraction. This time the monitors were right next to my head and I couldn’t
look away from them. I was holding onto the bed rail with one hand and squeezing
Greg’s hand with the other while trying to breathe through each contraction. I
had come into this birth never fully deciding if I would go natural, with no
drugs again or opt for the epidural. About an hour later, the pain made the
choice for me. It was about 7 when I told Greg I wanted the epidural but I was
really scared to get it. Too many scary stories, but by this point I was exhausted
as the contractions had ramped up to be so painful, I just wanted to be able to
enjoy this labor a little more than my last. Greg told me everything would be
ok so we went ahead and told the nurse. I had to endure a little more pain as
the anesthesiologist was just called into and emergency c-section so I had to
wait another hour and a half. That was rough. By the time they came in to give
it to me I was dilated to a 7. I got into position leaning over the bed read
for them to stick the needle in and I remember just holding Greg’s hand and
looking into his eyes and asking him to prayer for me because I was so scared.
I was shaking so bad they had to keep telling me to try to relax and sit still.
Finally everything was done and I just laid back waiting for the drugs to take
effect. It didn’t take long and I felt great. I was even able to get in a nap while
waiting for things to really ramp up. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After about 2 hours of
laboring, Greg and I just watching TV, talking and stressing over the fact we
still didn’t have a name for our little girl. Around 10:45 the nurses come in
to check me again and tell me I’m at a 9. I’m loving the epidural as the contractions
are more bearable but I could tell they were starting to get stronger and
faster. About 15 minutes later I’m getting really uncomfortable and the pain is
starting to ramp up again. By this point I am having the intense urge to push
and I tell Greg to get a nurse because I know she’s coming. It felt like my
catheter had come out or something was going on. The nurses came in and said I
still had a while but I was convinced she was coming right then. She checked me to be sure and said I was a 9
½ but she could stretch me to a 10, so she did. All the while, I kept telling
them I had to push. I couldn’t not push. The feeling was too intense. The nurse
told me she had called the Dr to come deliver the baby but she was at her
office and just left. Whether that was true or not, I’m not sure. Because it
was literally about 20 more minutes of this feeling of wanting to push I had to
wait till she came. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on how polite I was being for wanting to push so long. I do remember that
though, but I was also begging for the Dr to get there so badly. I’d look at Greg and
just say, “Please, please, where is she? Please let Pam get here soon. Where is
she?! I have got to push!” They nurses would just tell me to keep breathing and
not to worry, that the baby wasn’t going to come out till they were ready. They
had the whole team in there with everything set up and finally, our doctor
walks, in and say’s, “let’s have this baby.” Those glorious words of, “Ok you
can push” were finally heard. I started pushing and it wasn’t more than 30
seconds before Greg tells me she’s coming!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

straight from Heavenly to be part of our little family. After I got past our
first connection, I noticed how incredibly gray she was. She still hadn’t made
a sound and had no color at all. They took her away to the little NICU station
and started working on her. I saw them stick a tube down her throat and put her
on oxygen. I kept asking Greg if she was ok and what was happening. Everyone
around me kept reassuring me that she was just fine and just needed a little
attention. Turns out she had gotten some of the fluids from the birth canal in
her lungs and they needed to get it out right away. After a few minutes I heard
her first beautiful whimpers and tears were rolling down my cheeks. I was just
happy to finally hear my baby girl cry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

in, I was elbows deep in my lunch. It was maybe a half hour after her birth and
I was just ravenous. They brought in lunch while Greg was in the nursery and I
just dove in. This is one of my favorite moments just because he thought it was

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Evie Girl,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's Christmas Bug! Well, it was. You had your very first Christmas this year. You even turned 10 months old on Christmas Eve. This has absolutely been the best month by far. You are turning into a little lady. You are so big and so smart you don't seem like our little baby girl any more. I miss our teeny tiny baby that just laid there and looked up at us with those big beautiful eyes but I wouldn't trade it for the girl you have become. You are truly the happiest little baby I have ever seen. Every time I call your name, you turn around and just grin from ear to ear. We couldn't have been blessed with a happier, sweeter baby! The last two weeks or so, you have been sick but that didn't stop you either. Still happy as can be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This month we got to do a lot of fun things for your first Christmas. We did lots of shopping at the mall and you got to see Santa! You were a little scared but we got a picture of you together about 2 seconds before you decided you were terrified. It was pretty cute. We also started our new family tradition this year and that is to pick a little angel off the Christian Church Association. We pick one little boy or girl and buy them the gift they asked Santa for. This year we got a 10 year old little boy who really wanted some walkie talkies. It was Christmas Eve this year and a lot of the stores were sold out but daddy was persistent and found some just in time. We are excited to continue this tradition with you and your future siblings every year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We then had a big dinner with some friends at our house and you got to play with little Pepper and Gavin. They are your two best friends. We love them. We got this year's Christmas ornament and it is Baby's First Christmas picture frame for 2012. Another family tradition. The next morning it was Christmas! You loved opening presents and playing with everything. It was so fun to watch. We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Lee out here with us this year. We picked them up in the afternoon that day and brought them home to have another little Christmas with them! You were a little hesitant with Grandpa but then warmed right up to him. You bonded with Grandma instantly! I think you might miss them just as much as we do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few days after Christmas we all went to visit the Dallas World Aquarium. It was lot of fun going with grandma and grandpa. You really seemed to enjoy it. All the people and animals held your attention the whole time. We also got to celebrate mommy's birthday with them here as well. You had more fun helping mom open her presents and eat a yummy dinner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You now have 7 teeth. 4 on top, 3 on the bottom. You are growing tall, just like your mom, and are in the 95 percentile for height. You have outgrown most of your clothes already! You are wearing 12-18 months but even the 12 month stuff is getting a little short on you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's New Years Eve tonight as mommy is writing this and me and your daddy are so grateful for all the wonderful things that have happened to us this year. You have been the biggest, most wonderful gift we have ever received and can't wait to see what 2013 brings for our little family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy New Year beautiful girl!</div>

Ever O,</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
This past month has been packed with all sorts of fun bugs. We started the month off by going out to visit grandma Polly in California. She lives on a ranch with lots of cows and horses and dogs so you had a prettybgoodntime out there being entertained by all that. Made momma want to get you a puppy for Christmas because younere so cute with grandmas little corky.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Later we got to fly out to Idaho to see grandma and grandpa Hammond and spend your first thanksgiving with a lot of the family. You Met your uncle Casey for the first time and already have him wrapped around your little finger. All your aunts and uncles couldn't get enough of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
In the last 3 weeks you have gone from scooching to full on ninja crawling. It's like overnight you figured it out and now you are so fast I'll turn around for a second and you'll be down the hall or in the next room. Now that you have gotten so mobile you are loving to discover all the new "toys" you've been missing out on. You love the shelves that hold the picture frames and the bookcase with loads of pretty book to pull out. We put up the Christmas tree too and you enjoy pulling ornaments off that everyday. Even though I'm cleaning up twin the messes now, momma is so proud of you! I adore seeing you crawl and discover new things every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
You are a champ at pulling yourself up on everything and have more recently learned how to manuever around the furniture. Mom and dad are convinced you'll be walking before your first birthday. Your balance is o good now and you are so brave that you'll crawl or stand up anywhere and try to get around. You are really good at finding mom and dad whenever we're in a different room. Your toys only keep you interested for so long then you'll wander around until you find us.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
You are branching out with more foods. We give you bits and tastes of our food a lot but it's hit or miss lately. Right now you still love all your puréed baby food, veggie and fruit puffs, yogurt melts and your newest love, whole wheat waffles. At least it's sort of healthy. We try giving you all sorts of things but different textures seem to freak you out a little. We're working on it with. All those 6 chompers.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
While we were in Idaho we did a little Christmas celebration as well since we all can't be together this year. You got to open a couple gifts from grandma and grandpa and it was so fun watching you open things! You got a little baby doll that laughs and you just love her! It has been a great month watching you grow and be around family! Everyone adores you more and more.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
We love you a whole barrel full of monkeys lil nugget!</div>

Evie Bear,<br />
<br />
8 months old in the blink of an eye baby girl! Your aren't our little baby any more. You have become so active and mobile and even your 8 month old picture makes you look like a little girl instead of our butterball baby. You now have 6 lil chompers and counting. 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom. We think you are getting more because you have been having a couple fussy nights so we'll watch our for more. You are becoming a good eater more and more. You eat all the pureed baby food we offer and love some different snacks. We are trying to introduce new things and you take your time accepting them. Right now you eat all things pureed, cereal puffs, veggie puffs, gold fish and yogurt melts. We have attempted grapes and fig newtons but you have a hard time liking things that have different textures than you're used to. The newtons stick to you but you'll eat them after playing with them for a while. Then grapes you eat but you also have to push them around for a bit before committing We're going to start feeding you more of our food now that you've got so many teeth to chomp with. You're always eyeballing our food.<br />
You have started crawling a little more each day. You have mastered the scooch and pull but now you will get up on your knees and crawl for several steps then just flop to your tummy and continue scooching. You pull yourself up on just about everything now like your crib, toy box, couch, moms legs, pretty much everything you can.<br />
We celebrated your first Halloween this month and had a ball. Mom and dad threw a Halloween party at our house and we all had a ball getting dressed up and playing with friends. For your first Halloween mommy made you an adorable Lil Red Riding Hood costume. Daddy was the big bad wolf and mom was the granny. It was really fun seeing you all dressed up. We are totally going trick or treating next year little bug. Mama loves the fall and this year we went to the pumpkin patch for the first time! We didn't stay long but mom sure loved it! We got some adorable pictures of you playing with all the pumpkins and driving tractors with daddy. It was a lot of fun seeing you out there. Later we painted pumpkins instead of carving this year and got you your own little baby pumpkin. You had fun watching mom and dad helping glue pretty leaves on the pumpkins then spray paint over them and pull the leaves off to make pretty designs.<br />
This last month we have been to the new park a lot with some of your friends. You love being around the kids and are so cute interacting with them. You have a little buddy named Caden that is just a sweet heart but we totally think you two are twins! You love playing with him and the way you two act is so similar and you make a lot of the same faces. Adorable. You tried the swing for the first time this month. They are the little baby bucket swings but they are huge for babies so you were just kind flopping around in it. You liked it for maybe a minute but you're still a little small for them but we are excited to go back. You really enjoyed the teeter-totter with mom. You just laugh and smile the whole time.<br />
You're even more of a chatterbox and have started saying what sounds like da da and ma ma. I get so excited listening to you smile but most of the time it sounds like da da da da blah blah dad blah. So not quite a clear daddy or mommy but we like to think so. You are still the sweetest baby I have ever been around and are despite teething, still the happiest little girl I've ever seen. No matter where you are or what you're doing, you can stop and look to see where I am and flash me the biggest smile with all those teeth. Melts my heart every day. You get excited when dad comes home just like I did as a kid and you light up when you see him. Beautiful. We love you so much sweet girl!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mom and Dad<br />
<br />

Sweet Baby Ev,<br />
<br />
Oh boy little girl! This month has been crazy! You have grown and learned so much in the last month! You have started your little army crawl scooch and have got your self mobile all over the place. You do not like to hold still one bit any more. You roll from one object to the next and get bored with the same toy or item after a few minutes.<br />
<br />
Some of your favorite things to play with are shoes, tv remotes, the cat, wrappers, ya know pretty much everything but your actual toys. It's very entertaining watching the things that keep you busy for ever. You love to eat as well. You enjoy most your baby foods and love your cereal puffs and thank heavens for that. We would never make it through church without them!<br />
<br />
Another current love of your is the outdoors. It has finally cooled down here so we love being outside. You go running with mommy every morning and are such a good girl the whole time. You love looking around at the trees and people and seriously smile the whole time. Every one keeps commenting on how happy and smiley of a baby you are and I just love it!!<br />
<br />
Honey bear you are just beautiful inside and out and I am the luckiest mama to have you as my sweet baby girl! Your daddy and I get so excited to go get you up in the morning because we just love being round you. That huge grin you greet us with when we go to get you out of your crib is just precious and continues to be one of my favorite things you do!<br />
<br />
You literally amaze mommy and daddy every day with new things you are learning how to do. We love watching you grow and learn so much. We love you forever baby.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy and Daddy<br />
<br />

<br />
Baby Ev,<br />
<br />
Half a year has flown by so fast baby girl! Daddy and I are amazed at how much you have grown in the last 6 months. It has been a huge month of milestones for all of us too. You now sit up all by yourself and love to just play with your toys and watch mom and the kitty move around the house. I'll just set your toy basket in front of you and you go to town yanking out things left and right. You'll grab a toy, put it in your mouth for a bit, then move on to your next toy until you get to the bottom of the basket.<br />
<br />
We are super excited because you got your first two teeth this month! Two little chompers on your bottom gums. It's made our nights a little longer but they are just so cute peeking through your gums. If I thought your smile was adorable before, now it's just irresistible and I love it even more! This month we also started feeding you your first taste of baby food! Mmmm yum! So far we have only tried pureed sweet potatoes and pears. Pears are your favorite so far. We really enjoy watching you eat. It's a whole production as your still learning what to do with solid food in your mouth. You're getting better each day and can keep most of it in your mouth now. First try was super cute. You really didn't know what to think and made the best faces.<br />
<br />
You had your first two play dates this month as well. First you were playing with Cole and Aiden but you pretty much stared at them because they are a year older than you but that didn't stop those sweet boys from trying to love on you. Second play date, we had the girls over too. You got to play with a bunch of your little friends including Cole, Aiden, Pepper, Avery and baby boy Morrell (to be named soon). It was adorable watching all the babies interact and you had a great time with them.<br />
<br />
You have grown so beautifully and are weighing a hefty18 pounds now and showing more personality by the day. You're picking up on things like, screaming = mom getting the toy I dropped, smiling at anyone = huge smiles in return, grabbing the cats tail = getting hissed at by the kitty. You are learning so fast and it's incredible to watch you learn something so you know what to do next time. Already so smart love. Keeping growing beautiful and strong. We love you to pieces baby girl!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mom and Dad<br />

Sweetest Everkins,
<br />
<br />
5 months today and you're getting bigger by the minute! Strangers at the craft store will see you and say, "Boy she's a good eater!" haha. We love it! You are our big girl and are just beautiful! We had more of a relaxing month of July after all the craziness in June. All your cousins and grandparents just miss you like crazy. We swam a lot this month and you are getting so comfortable in the water. You love just being held and floating around in your little bumblebee. When we try to stretch you out to kick your legs you try to stick your face in the water and just gulp. It's pretty darn cute!<br />
<br />
We got you a few new toys this month and you are in love with them! One is your little rain forest bouncer that you stand up in and it is so funny to watch you. You just laugh and jump around, we could watch it all day. Then we got you a little play mat with toys hanging from the top for you to play with. That's another favorite of yours. Ever since you learned to role over last month you can't get enough of it. You really seem to enjoy being on your tummy a lot more but haven't quite figured out how to role back the other way.<br />
<br />
If it's even possible this month you talk more than ever. You love to just jabber all day long and laugh and squeal and make any other noise you learn how. You are closer to sitting up on your own and actually prefer to but in that position so you can look around and see everybody. Mommy and Daddy's friends tell us all the time the you are just the happiest smiley baby and it's true. Ever time I look at you and you see me looking you bust out in a huge gummy grin. My favorite thing you do lately is when you wake up from your naps. I'll hear you wake up and your just talking and rolling around in your bed. Then when I go in there and you notice me you look up and just smile and laugh and look like your are so happy to see your mom. I love it! You make mommy and daddy so very happy baby girl! We love you more than ever sweet babe and can't wait to see what next month brings!<br />
<br />

Evie Girl,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 Months old and you have done so much this last month! Besides growing before our eyes you got to met so many new people that just adore you! You made your first trip to Utah to visit a lot of family and see Daddy's brother get married. You got to meet your Great Grandparents who couldn't get enough of you. You also got to meet more of your cousins, aunt and uncles that you also have wrapped around your little finger. Your Grandma and Grandpa Hammond came to Texas and meet you as well. They loved you so much they wanted to pack you and take you home with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has been a huge month for milestones too baby girl. You rolled over for the first time and it was beautiful! Grandma and Grandpa were lucky enough to be out here when you did it the first time and we all just cheered! So cute. You have also discovered your toes and love to hold your legs up and hang on the them. Your discovering how good they taste because they are in your mouth a lot just like everything else you can get your little paws on. Your also about to sit up on your on too. You can sit up if you're leaning on your arms but then topple over after a few seconds. It's adorable to watch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No teeth yet but you drool more than a puppy so we're sure they are coming any day now. You have come around to smiling at just about anyone who holds you. We miss seeing all the family because you just smiled for a two weeks straight! You love when people smile at you and you always return an adorable gummy grin! Pretty sure you want to start eating real food now cuz you always reach for mommy's when she's eating. You really love to reach out and grab anything and everything though. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You just got your 4 month shots a few days ago and you were so brave! You didn't even cry! They gave you two big shots and some little drink with medicine in it. That was adorable. It was really sweet tasting and you were pulling the cutest face. I don't think you really enjoyed it. The doctor says you are growing right on schedule though. You are actually in the 99th percentile for height. Since you were born you have already grown 7 inches. You are now 27 inches tall! You are in the 95th percentile for weight and are a healthy 15.5 pounds now! You're gonna be tall just like your momma. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has been an amazing 4 months watching your grow and see your personality coming out. Daddy and I were really blessed with such a happy baby and we love seeing you smile at us everyday! We love you more and more everyday little bug!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Baby Ev,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Three months in the blink of an eye baby girl. You are getting bigger and more beautiful every day honey. The older you get the more active and amazing you become. You smile and talk at us all hours of the day and we can't get enough of it. You have really discovered your fingers nowadays and you love nothing more than to put them in your mouth. Before you eat, after you eat, while I'm changing your clothes, when you're in the bath tub...ALL. THE. TIME. It's pretty darn cute though. I can only imagine how it'll be when you start to teeth. ....can't wait....eek. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Daddy and I are pretty sure you are only days away from full on laughing out loud. You sort of make a little coo noise when we do things that you like and make you smile. You have now come around to enjoying having daddy blow raspberries on your tummy. It used to terrify you and you'd start to cry whenever he'd do that now you just grin like crazy. So cute. </div>

If at all possible, you love the bath even more. You now kick your arms and legs the whole time and start to fuss when it's time to get out. Bath time is a favorite around here. You really like to sit up now and sort of get frustrated when you're laying down. I think it's time for a bumbo. You enjoy being able to see everything that's going on around you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

If at all possible Daddy and I love you more and more everyday. You are beautiful in all your baby cuteness! We love you to the moon and back baby girl!</div>

So grateful for this beautiful baby girl giving me the greatest gift, becoming a mother. I have loved being a mom every step of the way. From the sleepless nights to priceless smiles, this has been the best journey of our lives. So thankful for a wonderful husband who has helped me be the best mom I can be and supporting me and our sweet Ever through the rough times and the greatest moments. And as always, I wouldn't be the mother I am today without my own mom. She has shown me what it is to be a mother and I'm grateful for the way she raised me and for her example. I love you mom, and so does our sweet baby Ever. </div>

<br />
Sweet Ever,<br />
<br />
Little girl, just like last month I can't believe another four weeks have passed. You get bigger and more beautiful with each passing day bug. Mommy and daddy are more in love with you than ever before. Only in the last few weeks have you really started smiling and cooing at us. There is nothing more amazing honey. We both can get you to smile so much and we just love it! I can sit and baby talk with you all day. This last week in April you have done so well sleeping at night. You only get up once now and sleep amazingly the reswt of the night. Mommy and daddy couldn't be happier about that.<br />
<br />
This month on Easter Sunday we were able to bless you in church and that whole week you finally got to meet Grandma and Grandpa Lee as well as the Johnson clan. Can't wait for Grandma and Grandpa Hammond to come out in June so they can meet you as well. They already love you so much.<br />
<br />
Just yesterday we took you in for your two month check up and shots. Mommy had to have Daddy come along because I was a little nervous for the shots part. Turns out I could have handled it because you were one brave little girl and only cried just a little. So proud babe.At two months you weighed 13 pounds and are 24 inches tall. Growing like a weed kid. We think you're gonna be tall like your momma!<br />
<br />
We are so taken with you every day sunshine. We love you so much and can't wait to see what month three brings.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy and Daddy<br />
<br />

We did have a natural birth after all.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So by now it’s Thursday, February 23<sup>rd</sup> and I am 2 days past my due date with no end in sight. My mom is coming in to town Friday so we decided that if baby girl didn’t come on her own within 3 days of her due date we were going to be induced. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">I really didn’t want to be induced and wanted everything to start happening on its own but there we were, due date come and gone and still nothing. So we talked with our midwife and she actually gave us the option of a more natural way of being induced, something called a Foley Bulb. We jumped on that idea seeing as soon as we found out we were pregnant we decided we wanted our first child to be born au natural without medications. Crazy? Yeah maybe. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We check into the hospital Thursday night and prepare ourselves for what could be a long night. Instead of an IV with Pitocin, Rachel, our midwife, got us started on this Foley bulb device which is like a little balloon that is inserted into my cervix to help dilate me to at least 4 centimeters or so and bring on active labor after that. It’s supposed to stay in overnight and in the morning we would start the chaos. So it’s been about and hour and it comes out. Of course I panic because that wasn’t supposed to happen so we call our Doula, Dawn who is a friend from church and Rachel who tells us we need to try something else since that wasn’t working. She offered Pitocin again or another sort of mild medication that is temporarily inserted in to the cervix to get things moving along. So we opted for that option and within about 2 hours I started feeling some slight contractions. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oxfk34t2BTA/T2PB_GrTGeI/AAAAAAAAA8A/6y6DI3B8Q1c/s1600/Baby+EVER%2521+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oxfk34t2BTA/T2PB_GrTGeI/AAAAAAAAA8A/6y6DI3B8Q1c/s400/Baby+EVER%2521+004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Two of us enjoying the calm before the storm!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XHjBVaNguog/T2PBro9XSdI/AAAAAAAAA74/Ng0-S--KYo0/s1600/Baby+EVER!+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XHjBVaNguog/T2PBro9XSdI/AAAAAAAAA74/Ng0-S--KYo0/s400/Baby+EVER!+009.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">By now it’s about 10:00 at night and were already both tired so we try to settle in for a some sleep before the fireworks. I get a little sleep off and on trying to sleep in between contractions. They still aren’t too bad at this point, just uncomfortable. Somehow, between contractions and the constant nurse visits throughout the night poking and proding I get a little sleep and before I know it the sun is coming up. It’s around 7am now and things are starting to hurt. We call Dawn to let her know contractions are ramping up so she heads over to the hospital to be with us. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For the next several hours, my contractions just got stronger and closer together. Dawn and Greg were the dream team in all this as I couldn’t have managed the pain without them both there. Being able to feel every little thing was what I chose, though at the time I kept asking myself what the heck was I thinking?! I tried walking around and rotating positions but nothing really took the pain away during a contraction peak. Greg massaged and dawn talked both trying to keep me calm and collected. I was trying to focus on my yoga breathing which seemed like the only thing to ease all the tension through each one. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After a few hours of enduring this, it’s around noon and the contractions became 2 minutes apart so I assume things are about to happen but it stays that way for about 2 hours. Every two minutes I experience such intense pain I can barely see straight. Shortly after enjoying this, the contractions become one on top of another with no break in between. I told Dawn and Greg what was happening and she thought the baby might have moved positions as sometimes it causes constant contractions. Sure enough baby and flipped over and was making it difficult to even bare the pain. We needed her to flip around so she could even be delivered ok so Dawn tried a few different things to get baby girl where she needed to be. Not fun. She had me moving around doing things that killed at the peak of each contraction. Thankfully Dawn is a Godsend and got little miss right where she needed to be. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then shortly after that, my water broke. This absolutely terrified me. We had figured my water would be broken manually to get things to continue to move so I was not expecting it. I was just standing near the bed breathing through another contraction when it broke. I didn’t realize that is what was happening at the time. I was convinced baby was coming out right then and there and I remember yelling that to Greg and Dawn. “She’s coming, she’s gonna fall out!” It wasn’t a slow subtle leak like most of my girlfriends had told me about but a giant gush that scared me to death. Once Dawn explained it was just my water breaking, I calmed down for maybe 30 seconds until I got the huge desire to push. Then that’s pretty much all I could say was, “I gotta push! I have to push! I can’t not push!” They brought in the nurse and she kept saying you can’t push yet, you need to wait until Rachel gets here and you’re dilated to a 10. What seemed like years passed but it was really about 5 minutes and Rachel got there and checked and yes I was already to a 10 so they gave me the go ahead to push. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So we began pushing. Greg likes to tell our friends I made noises he’s never heard before and probably woke half the hospital with the screaming but after about 25 minutes of that, she was finally here. Wow the feeling of relief was awesome. I wasn’t drugged but felt like I was on a natural high after enduring all that. I didn’t even care that there were about 12 people in the room. Turns out that Ever had her first bowel movement while still inside my tummy and sometimes that can be dangerous to the baby if she ingested any of it in her lungs so they brought in the whole NICU team just in case. Near the end her heart rate was dropping but I didn’t learn any of this until later. Greg was up by my head holding my hand but still able to see the whole thing. So when she came out, he told me she had her cord wrapped around her neck twice hence the dropping heart rate. She didn’t cry right away and so they cut her cord first thing then took her to the little cart next to me so the NICU team could asses her.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">My first words were in panic asking if she was ok then I heard her start crying and felt another wave of relief. Once Greg told me she was ok, I was gasping for water. Greg thinks that was hilarious. Only a few minutes after they took her, she was in my arms. I couldn’t believe the hair. Love it. I couldn’t stop staring at her and feeling like I was living in a dream. She was perfect. Healthy, beautiful and ours. I think my favorite moment of the last 48 hours was when Greg first held her and her eyes were wide and beautiful just staring at him. She was calm as could be in her daddy’s arms and they seemed to bond instantly. Smitten with each other already. I felt so much love in that moment for me little family I could barely contain myself. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

But I am embracing it and enjoying being (as Greg's dad so lovingly likes to put it) a quarter of a century old. I always like my birthdays growing up even though it got tough having it only 4 days after Christmas, but now being married, I never feel more special than I do on my birthday. </div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Greg does an amazing job every year to make me feel so special and loved and turns my B-day into a big deal. Love that man more every year.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">He started the day off with making me breakfast with a nice side dish of presents!</div></div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had a picture of these really specific riding boots hanging on my mirror for a long time and he tracked them down only to learn they weren't being made any more.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When we got home, we got ready to head out to dinner. I had one gift left from my Dad and Julie so I got to open that one. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then of course being who Greg is, he told me I had one more gift I had to open. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a biggy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got all sorts of excited.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I thought he might have but didn't dare to get my hopes up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I ripped the wrapping paper off it....</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Yes, he had.

I'm grateful for all the things this year has brought to our lives and all we have been blessed to experience. I look forward to everything 2012 has to offer and can't wait for the newest member of our family to get here and start life with her. Finally, I'm especially grateful I get to be married to such a wonderful guy that makes every day better than the one before. Love you honey. </div></div>Life with the Lee'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12529913424957632306noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577130552521149759.post-89344278565822364822012-01-03T09:35:00.001-06:002012-01-03T09:38:18.337-06:00Obsessed much?Seeing as were having a girl, of course I'm going to want to dress her up and a ba-jallion different bows, clips and headbands so I figured we might as well decorate her room while staying organized at the same time.<br />
<br />
Here is one of her walls above her changing table that will be her hair accessories department. I just found a few frames from Goodwill, had the hubby paint them purple and added some fabric and ribbon to the backing and voila! They make perfect little hair accessory holders!<br />
<br />
These are mostly bows I made before I knew I was even prego. I love making them for other people. Needless to say, our baby girl is gonna have a ton of them seeing as I'm obsessed..<span style="font-size: xx-small;">.only a little... ok a lot</span>.<br />
<br />
I'm still working on making another frame like holder with little posts that I can hand all her headbands on, she's got several! Can't wait to show ya!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For several months now, I have been stock piling things I have made for baby girl. You could say I'm a bit of a baby-craft-addict. Even before we knew it was a girl, (I just thought she was) I went to town on a list of things I wanted to make for her. So, now that I have so much stuff ready for her to enjoy, and dying for her to get here....I figure I'll share them with you while I wait.</div>
