A New Addition to our Family!

Tim and I are so excited to finallly make our big announcement! We will be adding a new little addition to our family this July! We found out that I am pregnant the day before Halloween! I was only 3 weeks and 4 days, so we have been waiting quite awhile to tell everyone! I had a few scares very early in the pregnancy, but we had our first official prenatal appointment a couple of weeks ago and the doctor said that everything looks great! We had an ultrasound and got the see the little baby moving around and its little heart beating! :) I am now about 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant! So far this pregnancy has been a little different from when I was pregnant with Calla! As for morning sickness, the doctor pretty much prescribed me Zofran immediately after I started throwing up so I wouldn't have to go get IV's and such, but with this one I am very nauseous even with the medicine, but I don't throw up as much. Smells are also a terrible thing this pregnancy, I can hardly change a diaper or do the dishes without gagging. I also already look pretty huge haha (well showing wise) so that's pretty awesome, althrough I have yet to gain any weight! We are very excited to meet this little baby and for Calla to be a big sister! My official due date is July 11, 2012 :)

Calla's 1 year well child checkup/1st Birthday!

I can't believe Calla is officially a toddler now! She had her well child check up yesterday and the doctor said that she looks great! Here are her stats: weight: 18 pounds 4 ounces (10th percentile) height: 29.5 inches (60th percentile) Head: I have no idea, but about the 60th-75th percentile :) The doctor said she is right on track, and said her throwing small temper tantrums is just fine, we just have to make sure we handle them properly :) (aka, not giving into what she wants!) We are also introducing her slowly to whole cow's milk by mixing it into her formula, so far that is working! She is now standing up on everything and cruising, so not too long until she walks! She is also getting brave enough to stand up all by herself without holding onto anything! She sleeps about 10-12 hours at night and takes a 2 hour nap during the day. It is awesome :) She is also eating anything and everything haha :) She also just celebrated her first birthday on December 1st! We had a party with Tim's family and my parents and Elise were watching haha via skype and facetime :) We went to Mcdonald's for dinner and got her her very own happy meal! She liked it, but I think she liked the toy better haha

Then we came back to our condo and had cake, which I made! It was a giant cupcake cake :)

She loves cake! Well the frosting especially! She exceeded our expectations of awesomeness when it came to eating cake... she dove her face right into it! My mom and dad got to sing happy birthday to her through the computer and Ipad (my mom is in Michigan helping out after Elise had the baby and dad is in Katy!) with everyone else! It was fun for them to be a part of it! Then Tim and I gave Calla a bath and then she opened her presents! (well... we opened her presents while she played with the bows and the paper :)) Then she went to bed! I think she had an awesome first birthday!
