</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sadie was 12months when I last posted and she has grown a lot since December. We have a little walking and talking toddler on our hands now.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Quick updates since January and her milestones:</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">26.8lbs, size 4diapers and wearing 18mo-2yr clothes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Stopped nursing at 12.5 months. I'm very, very proud that we made it over a year! What an accomplishment and wonderful experience it was to give the best nourishment to my daughter. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Sadie stood up for the first time without holding anything on Martin Luther King Day 1/20 and we had dinner at our friends the Matney's and she stood up in their kitchen. Then the very next day 1/21/14 she took her first step! Exactly a month later 2/23 she went from taking 2-4 steps to full force walking in our living room! Such a proud moment!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Experienced her first real snow and -degree temps. It was very cold in January and had 2feet of snow in February! We were snowed in for three days and had the best time taking Sadie out sledding!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Has been sleeping much better and is easy to get down at night. Huge difference! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Eating a full meal was difficult between </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">12-14 mo. and we still have moments. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She would rather slide her food off the high chair so Maddie will eat it. She does it as a game and smiles after. So cute, but we have to get stern with her. Loves waffles, cheese, yogurt, strawberries and can drink milk all day long.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Kisses and pats her baby all the time. So adorable! Also, kisses and pats us too. Loves to do butterfly kisses with me before bed and waves goodnight to the animal canvas art we she has on her walls.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-We traveled a lot in March and the three of us went to Asheville and Boone, NC one weekend, and saw our friends Will and Anna got married in Snowshoe, WV. Then Sadie took her</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> fifth flight to California. She learned how to go down stairs at her Papa's house, had pink eye for the second time, and her molars grew in that week. Sleep was a bit rough, but Sadie is always a good traveler. She loved playing with her big cousins! From CA, we flew into Washington DC to celebrate Sadie's cousin Aiden's third birthday.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Seventh double ear infection since Feb. Sadie had her first surgery in April and got tubes put in her ears. She did great in the surgery. It was harder for this Mommy!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Got bit on the arm from a friend at daycare twice in April/May. She and the kids are showing their personality now and not liking to share. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Sadie really understands us now and can take directions very clearly. It's incredible how fast she comprehends and copies us all the time. It's adorable. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- <b>Words:</b> The new word of the week is, "Maam" for Mom and it's sounds like she's from New Jersey, ha! "Nana" for banana, "mell" for milk, no, yeah, "na" for baby and Savannah, all done, "du" for down and dog, no, boom, and of course Mama and Dada." Also she shakes her </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">head for yes, no and shrugs her shoulders for, "I don't know". 12-14 words or so.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- <b>Loves/Obsesses: </b>Riding her big wheel bike (she's learning to peddle), going outside in general, loves her playhouse at daycare, slides and parks. We can't go past the park in our neighborhood with out her grunting to take her. Likes to take on and off of caps and tops, carrying my make-up bag as her purse, opening and shutting doors, coloring, snapping her fingers, her BABY doll, dancing, books, her new shopping cart, her play kitchen and especially stirring and pretending to eat her imaginary food on the spoon. Bubbles, pointing to the horses and cows everyday when we drive to daycare and she grins so big after, pointing to lights, waving and blowing kisses, swimming in pools, piggy back rides and MILK! She's weird about sand and stepping on different textures on her feet.</span><br />

I finally had the time and snapped some photos when Sadie was at daycare last week. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Decorating our babies room was a complete joint effort between Darrin and I. He had as much of a say as I did. It was really fun thinking of ideas and it came together pretty easily. We didn't have a true "theme" even though I wanted to incorporate my childhood memories of having a little bit of pieces from, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit."We knew the color scheme was grey, pink and white and Darrin's must have was a chandelier for his little girl;) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">We didn't spend a lot money, we used the left over paint from our downstairs hallway and I made a lot of the decor. Some of the big items we bought at an antique store for decent prices, or we had gift cards from my baby shower and my Mom bought our crib and sheets. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I still love Sadie's room and so happy how it came out. I will be sad if we ever have to move and paint over Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first year truly goes so fast and we have enjoyed being new parents more than anything. Sadie has been a blessing to us and it has strengthened our relationship even more. We have gone through a lot of changes this past year and raising a newborn has taught us a lot. We have been great partners in parenting and we are still learning everyday. We managed a whole year of taking naps. Yes, naps! We have a daughter who is very calm, observant, sweet, and loving during the day, but she wasn't much of a sleeper at night. We tagged team at night and pulled through during the day. It's getting a lot better, but hope this next year we will be sleeping and not napping!</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It has been an incredible experience having a baby and I have learned that I would do anything for her. I have so much love for Sadie and it just amazes me how much she has learned and grown in just one year. She is one smart, beautiful girl and I'm proud to be her Mom!</span></div>

We took her to the doctor three times in one week and we still didn't get a clear diagnosis. She didn't eat solids for over a week and lost almost a pound. She was very clingy to Mommy, so we read in bed a lot! Super sweet!... Seriously, she touches something and catches an illness! Even though she wakes up at night, she is really a trouper during the day and doesn't cry much at all.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">-Still nursing! I never imagined I would be nursing this long!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">-She started taking her fingers and moving them up and down on her lips to make the cutest funny noises. She taught herself that!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">-Crawling and standing up on everything. She is very busy now!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">-Knows how to press the iPhone button</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">-Knows how to throw the ball for Maddie now!!! I mean this is Big!</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">-We had to call Dish. Sadie apparently ordered "GI Joe" on the remote, while we looked away for 2 seconds. Ha!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Loves:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Strawberries, raspberries, bananas, green beans, and cheese. Refrigerator and the dishwasher doors, anything she can tap and jingle, remotes/iPhone, peek-a-boo and touch and feel books.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Hates: Getting dressed, diaper changes and her stinky feet touched! It's a battle every time! She's not a fan of teeth brushing either and Mommy came up with a silly song to get her excited, ha!</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />

<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This past month Sadie has done so many milestones and we are just so proud of our little girl!<br /><br />Stats: 21.1lbs and growing like a weed! Fitting in 12month clothes now.<br /><br />Milestones: Her second word "Dada," putting pieces of food in her mouth, crawling (no more army crawling), standing up by herself and three top teeth poking out!!<br /><br />Events: Daddy turned 30 in the beginning of the month and had a big group of friends and family stay at Lake Norman, went on a boat ride, some of my California friends came, we started going to storyime at the Library, took 9month photos, went to DC to visit with Uncle Scott, Aunt Karen and Cousin Aiden and went to a huge pumpkin patch. Grammy flew out and visited for a week. We stayed in Durham, NC and toured Duke and Chapel Hill. Grammy actually saw Sadie's first crawl! Had a rough night in the hotel and a few nights after that, so we took her to the Doctor. Sadie had Hand, Foot,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and Mouth virus! Same week she was teething and we went back to the Doctors and she had her fourth ear infection! Poor baby and very tired parents!!... For Halloween we had our friends the Matney's over and went trick-or-treating for the first time! The babies were adorable! Miss Sadie was a little lamb (of course), I was the Mama lamb and Darrin was the wolf. ha! </span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Loves:Tapping and banging anything, the dogs water bowl (she crawls super fast when we aren't looking to splash, gross), loves to move all around while dressing her, dropping things on the floor while in her highchair, getting Maddie to wash her sticky food hands (gross again), sleeping in cars, kisses, holding anything in her hands and examining the textures, horsey ride, songs, stroller rides, and books still!</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">August was filled with swimming lessons, no sleep and teeth for our little girl.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Sadie and I, my friend Laura and her son Nolan made a 9am swim class every day for two weeks. We never missed a class and our babies were the best kids in the pool! So glad she loves the water and that we started her early. The two year olds in the class had the hardest time. We hope to do another class in the late fall again.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Since Sadie started teething at 7months she decided to have major attachment issues at night. We saw the doctor about it and it's pretty normal around her age. We started sleep training her more this past week, but the past month and a half has been tough at night. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">New milestones:</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Two bottom teeth, loves to wave her hands and say "All done" in sign language, waving, transitioned to a pink camo sippy cup, cheerio's, sitting in a high chair at restaurants and a grocery cart. Loves the book, "Eight Silly Monkeys," stroller walks, and loves swings!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">She has done a few more milestones since turning 8months, but I'll wait to write them in her 9month post...</span><br />

This was written last week, but was never sent due to getting the worst stomach flu and then Mastitis again! Some things that I wrote have changed just in a week. Like teeth!! We are having hard nights due to teething and you can see her two swollen front gums and one bottom tooth surfacing. Can't wait to see what she looks like with pearly whites!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Original post:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">The other day Darrin and I were just thinking how Sadie's 7 months has gone faster compared to the first 7 months of being pregnant. The summer is already half way over and soon she will be transitioning to the "crawler" section in daycare. Wow!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">This past month was a healthy month!! Yay, no sickness finally!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- Sadie and her "BF" went swimming for the first time at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center. She loves the water and loves splashing and is just so content. We have gone several times since and my friend Laura and I signed up for Waterbaby classes starting early August. Can't wait!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- Sadie is trying and loving new foods on a daily basis. I'm making all of her organic pureed food and it's going well! Her favorites are sweet potatoes, mangos, pears, strawberry/bananas and beets. She looks like a little vampire when she gets beets all over her face and hair. This past week she tried fresh zucchini from our garden! I'm glad she liked it because we have tons of squash growing! We are now feeding her solid foods three times a day. Growing girl.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- She is totally sitting up on her own, but has NO teeth yet? She isn't much of a drooler, so hopefully they will just pop when they are ready!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- I'm still nursing and unfortunately she likes to use me as a paci, compared to using her own paci.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- Her daycare teachers and Darrin and I have noticed how Sadie is very compassionate and concerned for other babies. It's very cute and she gets this look and sometimes will put her hand on the babies back to say, "Hey, it's okay!" Soo sweet!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- Her best friend at daycare is named Charlotte and they are 4days apart. They tell us they play with each other's toes!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- SLEEP-- I wish it will get better and consistent soon! Usually, she goes down around 8-8:30 and wakes up 45mins later to get the last of her feeding. Then wakes up around 4a.m. and then up around 6:50? Nap 1:30-2hrs after she wakes up for an hour, middle of the day nap around 12 and then her longer nap around 3 or 4 for about 2.5hrs. Her naps are shorter at daycare. She does not nap well in her crib during the day and unfortunately, loves to nap on me or in her swing. I don't get much done when she naps on me, but I'm usually just as tired too. I know I will never get to do that when we have another child, so I'm taking in our sweet naps together.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- 4th of July was another great celebration this year. We had a neighborhood parade and decorated her stroller, but the decor was ruined fast, due to the rain storm. She went on her first boat ride, but mainly napped the whole time, ha! It was pretty humid that day and was very sleepy most of the time. She slept well at Aunt Trish/Uncle Gary's house and never woke up to our huge firework show!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">- Sadie is all wiggles and bubbles... She is a huge roller now, especially when we are changing her and we have to watch her very close. Also, she just babbles and blows bubbles with her mouth constantly. It's pretty darn cute!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Some of her likes:</span><br />

It really goes so fast and our little missy is half-way to her first birthday! This past month Sadie's has had a lot of milestone's and her personality is just shining everyday. </span></span><br />
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What's been happening:</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- 17.5lbs and 27.5" The doc says she's perfect in weight since she is so tall.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Started Oatmeal which she loves. Gave her avocado as her first "real" veggie and she had the best sour face! She has tasted homemade applesauce and next is butternut squash and green beans!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- 23wks she rolled over both ways and she puts herself to sleep on her side.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- The same week she rolled over, she sat up by herself! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- One word that I would describe Sadie is, observant. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- She's grasping and trying to touch everything. Spoons, plastic containers, and chip bags are really fun now! Why buy more toys?</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Tummy time is for crying babies... Sadie's a big girl now and can chill on her tummy with no problem;)</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Took her first 4mile hike to the Cascades and rode on Daddy's back in a backpack. What a trek, but slept half of the time!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Unfortunately, due to daycare she was sick most of her fifth month. Two colds and an ear infection. Boo!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Sadly, I put away most of her 0-6month clothes in a bin. Some 3month onesies still fit, but she's mainly in 6-9months now.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Went to a few festivals and a new winery in Blacksburg.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Celebrated Darrin's first Father's Day and drove to Charlotte for the day. We went to a pet friendly beer garden and took Maddie. It was a Hot, but a nice day!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Loves being tipped over upside down and tickled. Her gut laugh really comes out.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Mastitis=No fun</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Still loves books, baths, cuddle time in the morning, late afternoon naps on me, petting the cat and we just got a new exersaucer that has been exciting.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There's more to add, but my lack of sleep is making my foggy:)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">The last post I wrote about how Sadie hasn't rolled over yet... Well not even 24 hours after that post our little missy ROLLED over!! Darrin and I were shocked and Sadie was too! It happened on her play mat and I was right next to her and Darrin was in the room, but we missed it:( It was so fast, but we took her photo right after. Since then she's rolled over twice! I thought we would notice her trying to roll over for a few days or something? She just did it. Proud milestone;)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Also, Sadie had another play date with her BF Nolan who is 4 days younger. They were adorable together! At least they didn't cry like their first play date. </span></div>

</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'times new roman', serif;">Sadie turned five months last week and I have been meaning to take the time to write what she has been up to. This month Sadie has been getting a lot stronger and showing more of her little personality. She laughs harder and loves getting tickled. It's very cute!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #222222; font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'times new roman', serif;">- Tummy time is longer now and you can tell her back strength is getting stronger. She hasn't yet rolled over. Soon I hope (but not really;). She is sleeping more, but waiting for our nights to stay consistent! We had a good routine 8:30p.m. up at 4:45a.m. feeding and up again at 8ish. The last two weeks have been rough (like every 2hrs, she'll call for us). The days we take her to daycare really mess her up with naps. She has so much social interaction there and I don't think she calms down.<br />- She took her second big airplane ride to CA for a week! She did great in the plane and smiled and looked around at all the people. At four weeks she slept most of the flights and this trip she didn't sleep that much. I nursed a lot due to so many takeoffs. My first Mother's Day was spent in Santa Cruz and it was fun dipping her little toes in the Pacific Ocean! Our week was jammed packed. We spent most of the time at my sisters with her family and with my friends. It was so nice to have Sadie get close with everyone on my side again. Her attachment issues that she had with me really stopped, since she was with so many people! We did get a date night and spent our second wedding anniversary in South Lake Tahoe. We dropped off Sadie with her Papa and Nonni and had a great time just the two of us. It was a great week, but needed to chill for a week after!<br /><b>Some other new things:</b><br />- Size 2 diapers, fitting into 6month clothes and 16.4lbs already!!<br />- Nursing more and pumping less this month. Loves scooting across the floors in her play saucer. She totally walks in it. Grabs more toys in her hand, pets the cat and dog and loves trying to eat the corner of books.<br />- 4.5wks we tried rice cereal! She didn't know what to do at first, but she has gotten the hang of it. She grabs the spoon to direct for more now.<br />- She got her third cold/cough again from daycare last week. Boo and now she has an ear infection this week. She was really fussy and crying hard this past Sunday night, which she never does. We took her to the doctors Monday morning because she had a 103 fever, ah! She is on her first antibiotics, ugh!<br />- Sadie had her first singing performance! Yep, she was on stage with her other baby friends at the daycares/preschool graduation. It was adorable!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'times new roman', serif;"><b>Mommy notes:</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'times new roman', serif;">- The last two months my hair has really changed probably due to the hormones. Not liking the thick, kinky, textured curls on the crown of my head!! Hopefully after I stop nursing it will go back?!?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'times new roman', serif;">- The humidity lately has reminded me of my pregnancy and a few times have made me get a little anxious. It's just brought back memories because I was so sick last summer. So WEIRD to have those thoughts?? Oh and I still can't use my hairspray, perfume and chocolate frozen yogurt. So, I guess humidity isn't so weird? well kinda...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'times new roman', serif;">- 2.5lbs more and I'll be at pre-preggo weight!! Very surprised it hasn't taken too long to lose it, since I really haven't tried to sweat it off. A few Zumba classes and stroller walks, but nursing has helped a lot. Now if I can get my hips to shrink, so I can fit in my old pants, ha! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Sadie is already 3months?! This month went fast!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">First, I have to say how I'm SO READY for warmer weather! It's been too cold and we've been housebound way too long. It's hard to see all the pretty flowers and warm weather that CA people keep posting on FB! I want to dress Sadie in some cute dresses! I know it will come...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">So, Sadie has been showing a lot of personality this month! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-She is full of smiles and coos!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-Kicking a lot and has awesome tracking. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-Breast feeding a lot more during the day/night, and still pumping.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-Poo explosions are unbelievable! They are always when we are running out the door and it even got in her hair once, ha!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-Started reading books to her. She loves them!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-She's sleeping directly in her pack-n-play still in our room. We have to transition her in her crib this month, eek!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-Started MOPS group and very happy with it so far. I've met some great Moms and it's been a nice release!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-10/11wks - Sadie had her first cold/cough/fever this month and it was rough! Poor thing was soo sick, but was such a trooper. We visited the doctor twice that week to listen to her lungs. Darrin and I were also so sick. It's been a tough month, but now I know how Sadie is when she is sick. Love how she doesn't cry to just to hear herself cry... Darrin was sick again this past week and thankfully we didn't get it again! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-Drooling a lot now, I don't know if she is already started to teeth? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-12wks - Started sleep training last week. So far it been good. Took out her paci at night, which has helped us not getting up every minute to put it back in her mouth! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-13wks - Checked out the daycare center that we got into and met all of the teachers. Will be easing her in. I think it will be harder for me to take her there. We are happy with the place though and it's the best place in the area.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">-Took Easter/3month pictures from our awesome maternity photographer/friend Laura. Will post soon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Looking forward to Easter this weekend!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px;">I can't believe Sadie is over two months old now! It has gone by so fast and I am loving every minute about being a Mom! She is growing every week, but every morning we always say how much she grew over night! I love being home with her right now, but I am really looking forward to the warmer weather, so we can take her outside more! Having a baby in the winter has its ups and downs.</span><br />

Yep! Pretty crazy, but she was such a perfect little angel for me. We had a lot of layovers and she slept great. She made the trip easy and she needs to get used to flying! It was great to have friends and family meet her... Next time, Darrin will come!</span></span><br />

(4 weeks ago)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We couldn't have asked for a better Christmas this year!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sadie was born on December 26th at 7:51p.m. weighing 7lbs 4oz and 22inches long.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Like any mother would say, she is absolutely perfect. It's amazing to finally meet the little girl who was growing inside for the last nine months. She is a combination of both Darrin and I, but mostly resembles her Daddy. Sadie is the sweetest, calmest, easy-going baby and I'm am so grateful to have her. It makes me sad that she won't be this tiny little newborn for that much longer, but it will be exciting to watch her grow. Motherhood and parenting with Darrin has been incredible so far. It has not been stressful on us (yet) and we have a pretty good routine going. In the four weeks of being home, we have only had one bad night, but after two lactation appointments, we have the feeding down now. I love being home with her and I'm so happy to have our little girl in our life. I love her so much and I just want to kiss her face all day long;)</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been waiting all my life to finally be a Mom and I can't believe that day is about to happen in just a few days. I grew up playing with my dolls and dreaming that someday I'll actually have my own little baby to play and take care of. I am so lucky to have become pregnant so quickly with no complications and I hope I deliver a healthy little girl at the end. For the most part, it's been a wonderful experience being pregnant. There has been some ups and downs, but it's been amazing. I have to thank Darrin for always being so supportive and loving throughout this whole journey.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">To my little girl:</span><div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I've carried you for nine months and I anxiously wonder what you will be like. Now, that I know you are the girl I've always wanted to have, will you be more like me, like your Dad or a combination of us both. Will you be as sweet, patient, and loving like your Daddy or be observant, kind and quite like the both of us. Will you have blond, red or curly hair like the rest of the family? Have my green eyes or your Dads blue eyes? Will you be tall and have big lips like your Dad or have one dimple like me? Have a bottom like your Dad and be a dancer like you were in the womb? Will you be artistic and creative like the Gillespie side. I'm so curious and can't wait to meet, kiss and hold you. I will love and support you whatever your heart desires. I can't wait to watch you grow, learn and experience every milestone in your life. I know you will make mistakes and I will always be there for you and try to guide and protect you. I wish you happiness, love, and laughter in your lifetime and I hope I can be the best Mother to you. I am so proud to be your Mom and I love you so much already. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Letter to my daughter:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The date is December 23rd, 2012. Unless you decide to come before, you will be born December 26th. I can’t even describe how anxious and excited I am to finally meet you! Your Mom has done a wonderful job carrying you in her tummy for the past 9 months. You couldn’t have had a better Mom to take care of you. We are very lucky to have her in our life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been dreaming and praying for the day that I would have a family of my own. The greatest day of my life was when I married your Mom. We are very much alike and we both couldn’t wait to have our own child. Then we were blessed with you! It was the happiest day when we found out that we were pregnant.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
I have so many questions right now… What are you going to look like? Are you going to look like your Mom or me or a combination of both of us? What is your personality going to be like? Are you going to be quieter like your Mom and me or are you going to be a talker like your grandparents? What is going to be your favorite subject in school? I will go ahead and apologize if you aren’t good at math. I hope that you are though! Are you going to like playing sports like me? Are you going to be an artist like your Mom? No matter what you do in your life, you will always have our support.</div>
<div>

<div>
I can’t wait to hold you as a baby. I can’t wait to hear you say your first words, and take your first steps. My new favorite thing to do is going to be hanging out with you, reading you books, watching cartoons, and watching you play with Maddie. The list of things I can’t wait to see you do is too long to write in this letter. I can sum up my feelings for you before I have even met you in a few words: You are the greatest thing that I have ever created. Nothing that I accomplish in my life will compare to the joy that you and your Mom bring me. I pray every night that you are healthy and that you live a long life. I pray that I can raise you the right way and provide everything that you need. I pray that you think I am a good Dad. I pray that you live your life to the fullest and accomplish your dreams. I only ask a couple things of you though: for your Mom and my sake, don’t grow up too fast. We will talk about the others when the time is right;) I love you more than I even know right now, see you in a couple days!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love,</div>
<div>
Your Dad</div>

<b style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sleep: </b><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's been difficult the past two weeks. It's much harder to roll over and I have a lot more pain at night now. I've had a vein on my left thigh that's been killing me for over a month and docs don't know why? Maybe it's a nerve and the baby is hitting it? I don't know, but I feel really old, when I get up now cause I'm in pain. Hope it stops or we figure it out soon! I am also getting shortness of breath now and have to prop my pillows more at night to get air. Miss Baby Q is taking it all!</span></div>

I hate them myself and she gets them everyday! They are super cute to feel them though... Also, we received our maternity photos from the photographer and they came out great! Our pets look beautiful in them, ha! We were happy she captured them too. </span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">- I've gained the most this past month and really look pregnant. I think my 6-7 months have been the best so far though. I didn't expect to have more normal energy.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">- I'm still in awe about living in the South and experiencing Fall colors.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">- My Mom came to visit and we took her to her first VT game! It was a really great game and perfect weather! She had the best time at it.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

I had worked on the events designs since August and happy it all came together. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">- You can never predict the interstates here, since they have tons of semi-trucks. Our flight back to CA didn't go as planned and we had to stay an extra night near the Charlotte airport. Thankfully, they didn't charge us for changing our flights. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">- I had my two baby showers! I had a great time at both and laughed a lot at the games we played. I was happy to have Darrin there at my VA party too! I learned he needs more practice on diaper changing, ha! We got a lot of great gifts and we are very thankful.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">- Darrin surprised me with Eric Church/Justin Moore concert tickets at the Roanoke Civic Center and I'm so happy we finally got to go! He was way better than the first time I had seen him in San Jose. It was probably the last time I'll get to dance for awhile and I'm proud I stood most of the three acts!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">- Hurricane Freakin' Sandy brought in our first snow!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;">How many weeks: </b>27 Weeks - 7 Months! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Baby Size: </b>Size of cauliflower head. Over 2lbs and 14.5inches long</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px;">Weight gain so far:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px;"> About 17 pounds (I gained 4lbs in Texas last week. That BBQ and Mexican was good!) </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 20px;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Stretch marks:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"> Not yet!</span></span></div>
<b style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">Sleep: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">I'm s</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">leeping well and not getting up to go to bathroom until the alarm. It's been like that since beginning of the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">second trimester actually. However once I'm in bed, I stay. It's getting harder to roll over and get up. I'm sleeping on my sides and trying to ease my back pain as much as I can.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px;">Best moment this week: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px;">Going to a prenatal yoga class! I have been wanting to attend this Sunday class for so long. It was great and relieved my back pain and stretched my stiff body! There were five young girls there and I was the second farthest along. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px;">Also, we finally purchased things for the babies room! We went to a antique store in Salem and got a white dresser that is so cute. We got a little chandelier from Home Depot (Darrin wanted this) and a mirror that will go above the dresser. We are picking up a rocking chair tomorrow too!</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Missing Anything: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Shaving my legs, which is difficult now. Also, I gave myself my last pedicure. I will splurge and go somewhere because it really hurt bending. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">I'll just post some highlights from the past couple of weeks:</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">- I finally had my friends visit me!! Laura, Kataneh, Morgan and their 15month son Emerson stayed for 1.5 days. It was sooo nice to have them and a little surreal they were actually here! We had a blast! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">- We then flew to Albany and stayed three nights at a beautiful farmhouse in Hudson, NY. During the day we pool sided it and had such a relaxing time. We attended my friend Mari's and Andrew's gorgeous wedding on Saturday and partied late! Never been to a wedding that lasted past 2 a.m.! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">- The next day, Darrin and I left early and took a two hour Amtrak ride into NYC. We stayed a night near Grand Central and this preggo walked a lot! We couldn't spend that much time in Central Park due to an afternoon rain storm. But, it cleared up and I introduced Darrin to the best pastrami sandwich from the famous Carnegie Deli. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">- I turned 31 on Labor Day weekend and we took a drive to Charlotte for the afternoon. I just really wanted to go to Trader Joe's, ha! I did find some more maternity clothes at Old Navy and then we had a great time at a beer garden that was dog-friendly! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">- F</span><span style="color: #444444;">ootball is back on in the house and </span><span style="color: #444444;">Darrin's gone to two free VT games already!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">- My Mom ordered us our crib last week and we have it up all ready! We couldn't wait!</span><br />

The animals are probably wondering what this jungle gym is all about;) Also, Darrin and I went on a beautiful 3.5 mile hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend and I think it will be my last for awhile.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b;">Darrin and I had an ultrasound at our hospital and we were amazed how big and real our baby is now! Seeing the baby move and actually wave to us, was unreal! Her nose, lips, hands and feet are just so adorable! We told the tech that we didn't want to know the gender in the appointment and I'm so glad we waited. We had to drive to DC right after, but we stopped at a really </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_829122938"><span style="color: #45818e;">nice </span></a></span><span style="line-height: 17.981481552124023px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_829122938"><span style="color: #45818e;">restaurant</span></a></span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://blueapronredrooster.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #45818e;"> </span></a><span style="color: #5b5b5b;">in downtown Salem for the reveal!

Darrin and I, his brother, and Aunt and Uncle drove to Bluefield, WV to an outdoor country concert. We had been looking forward to the show since we went to it last year. It's the Best people watching Ever!! We were suppose to see Eric Church and Jake Owen until we had a rare type of tornado storm. We were in the football stadium no more than 30minutes until everyone had to evacuate and leave. We hoovered under the bleachers for some time, but finally drove home. The worst was when we got home. Our area was hit really hard. Fallen trees and power outages everywhere. Luckily, our house had power and thankful since it was sooo hot and humid that week. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">It was a big deal on the news and I'm still not used to these crazy thunderstorms here!...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">We spent the fourth at Claytor Lake like we do every year. Boat rides, swimming, corn hole, great food and ending the night by watching the guys blow up Tennessee fireworks! The coolest was seeing sheets of lightening across the sky at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I was finally feeling more like myself in the second weekend of July, thank goodness! So, Darrin and I took an improptu mini "babymoon" to Outer Banks, NC. We both had never been there and were anxious to see what the beaches were like. We got the best deal at an Inn on Roanoke Island, just outside of Nags Head. We stayed in the honeymoon suite of an old house right on the water. It was perfect. However, the humidity and heat was insane and my prego belly got burned on the beach:(... The Outer Banks was different than I expected, but so glad we went!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">The last two weekends, Darrin has been hard at work painting! It's difficult to just watch him since I can't help, but I've been doing other projects throughout the house too. Our master bedroom and the NURSERY is finally painted and we now have cute curtains on the windows. We cleared out the baby room and are in the beginning stages to filling it with baby stuff. It's still a little surreal that I'm almost half way done with my pregnancy!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Pregnancy Milestones:</b> We heard the babies heart beat again last week and everything is looking good!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Two total strangers asked about me about my pregnancy while shopping this weekend. Yep, I guess I'm showing!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Last, I felt flutters today! It was like butterfly wings scraping the side of my stomach.</span><br />

I have had NO energy due to being 14 weeks PREGNANT!! Yes, Darrin and I are adding to our little family! It's so exciting to finally say it now! We found out at five weeks and it's still crazy that I have a little bean growing inside of me. I've waited for this moment since I was a child and it's unreal that I will be a Mom by Christmas time!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">My first trimester is exactly how I pictured it... Sick:( My Mom and my sister were both the same way when they were pregnant and I am just like them. Guess it runs in the family! Now, that I'm into my second trimester, I'm getting better and feeling more energy. Darrin's been so caring and understanding of how I have been feeling. He's taken on roles that I can't do and doesn't complain. He's an incredible husband and he will be an amazing father.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">I just went maternity shopping the past two weekends because I'm starting to show. Things are getting a little snug;) We had our thirteen week appointment last week and heard the strong heartbeat. We also switched to a wonderful midwife in my practice because my original doctor left. We are so happy with her and she was so informative, which we need! We don't get another ultrasound until we know the sex, which is in six more weeks! We have our instincts on the gender, but who really knows? We just can't wait!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Since my last blog post in April, we haven't done too much since I haven't been the life of the party lately, but s<span style="background-color: white;">ome things we have done:</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">-Beginning of May, we flew to CA to tell my family and friends the exciting news in person!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">-Told my Dad at his 70th Birthday and will never forget his reaction;)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">-We celebrated our one year anniversary!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">-Finally had a small housewarming party.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">-Maddie turned one and has been loving swimming in the lake a lot. She's a huge water dog!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;">-Lot's of positive changes at my work.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;">-I have been doing more freelance design work at night.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;">-My Mom retired after 32 years of teaching fourth grade! I'm so proud of her. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">We have a lot of projects to start this summer. I'm surprised that I haven't done any baby planning, but hope this trimester will be the time to get things done.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444;">So, that's our exciting news! We are so happy and looking forward to the next six months until we meet baby Quesenberry!</span></div>
