my sleeping monkey!!!
She was too cute to not take this picture. I went in to tell her goodnight last night and she startled me when I saw those big eyes looking at me, she really was asleep. She usually puts this on but takes it off before she goes to sleep, she was just too tired last night. LOL
Only if they were always this sweet right?

dr.s dr.s dr.s

I feel like we have been living in a waiting room of some sort for the last week. Neil had his surgery this morning. I think his nose will be straight again. He has a splint on it and they took all of his eye stitches out while he was under. Probably going to scar but that is so manly right???
He is feeling pretty good ate McAlisters for lunch---his usual, and is napping. I, of course, am back at work. Somebody has to pay the bills these days ha!!!!
I had my 32 week appt yesterday. FUN FUN. We had another sonogram. It was really neat, she was drinking, swallowing, and laughing. We have 2 pictures with her mouth wide open and you can see her little tongue. No one but me has been able to tell what it is so far. She is up to 3.75lbs and looks to be very healthy. I have one more 2 week appt and then we go every week to get checked. We are definatly on the downhill slide. I get more and more anxious everyday.
Her little pink tutu came in today that matches Maddie's birthday outfit. OH that is going to make a really cute picture---Tiffany get your camera ready for some sessions... HA
Well I should probably get some work done before Dad fires me for being off so much this week.

Update on Neil

Well we went to the dr. yesterday, he said it was too badly broken to reset so Neil is scheduled for day surgery on Thursday. He is getting a nose job Ha!! They are also going to take out all of his stitches while he is under. I think this is probably the best and least painful way to fix it. He is a little nervous but not as bad as he was yesterday thinking they were just going to put it back in place at the dr's office. ...He was really worried about that.

Tomorrow is another dr's appt for me. I am almost 32 weeks ( this weekend anyway). We get another sonogram. Those are always lots of fun and it makes going to the dr so much more fun.

Maddie has started softball and loves it. She is really trying to play 2nd base this year. I hope all is well with everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, especially on Thursday.

Poor Neil..........

Well yesterday was a pretty bad day for everyone, Neil called me from work and an attic ladder he was taking out had fell on his face. The homeowner took him to Ashdown hospital ( it was so tiny it looked like and elem. school). He has a broken nose, 3 fractures in his face and 17 stitches on his eye. He looks so beat up. He gets his nose reset on Monday. I hope that it looks like it did before. He had the most perfect nose I have ever seen.
All in all he is feeling pretty good he is just mad at me since I won't let him drive or stay by himself....dr's orders

Baby stuff
Hollyn in moving so much today it hurts. I go for another sonogram on Wed. and that starts my 2week visits. It shouldn't be too much longer. I am so excited to see her. I already know she is going to look like Neil ( prior to the injury ha!) with brown hair and brown eyes. We will see. Maddie had blondish colored hair and blue eyes.... Time will tell.

Feb. 10 2009

Hi Everyone, the whole family is blogging so I thought I would get on board. We have been really busy this year getting ready for HOllyn Grace. I am 30 weeks this week and getting very excited. I feel like we have been pregnant forever. We finished the nursery and I want to move in there it is so relaxing.
Maddie started softball practice this week, she is taking gymnastics once a week and LOVES it and she is so excited about her baby sister coming soon. She is going to keep us really busy the next few months. We are planning her birthday party...DIVA party of course.
Neil has been taking very good care of us and helping out around the house. I am trying to get him ready for his new chores when baby comes.
Dylan is playing rugby and seems to be keeping busy with his new job. Well I am not really sure how great of a blogger I will be but I will do my best.
