Catch Up!

his blog post is LONG overdue....I didn't realize people still checked it, but I've had a few people who tell me they still do! Firstly, I am SO happy to say that I had a full term, 9 pounder on October 15th!!

We named our big guy Leaf. I still think its ironic I had a 1 pounder, followed by a 9 pounder, but Mat and I were so thankful that the pregnancy went so smoothly. Dr. Schmidt followed me very closely and am so grateful for the care I received at St. Joes. No one ever made me feel crazy when I was stressing about things or getting paranoid that something was going wrong; they understood completely the feelings that come following having a preemie. For any preemie moms out there, a subsequent full term birth is possible...have faith! (and a good Dr!)

My belly was massive and it was FABULOUS; I absolutely loved being pregnant!

(39 weeks above)

Life at home with Leaf and Story is great; we are adjusting to having two kids, but so far so good! Story has welcomed Leaf with open arms and is loving him to bits. Leaf's personality is chilled out, smiley and he's started belly laughing, which is pretty darn cute. Here is our little man:

...fast forward 12 weeks and here he is now!

Story is growing up and is quite the little lady these days; she is a polite, sweet and kind hearted almost 3 year old. Here is our miracle girl!
