New Hair Cut

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

So I was finally able to go and get my hair cut this week. I had been planning to get it cut before Heidi was born but ended up not having the time since she came so early. I had grown it long enough to donate and since it has been so hot I decided to go and get it done. The cut is really different but I am pretty sure that I like it. It kind of reminds me of the hair cut that Katie Holmes got. I don’t know let me know what you think.

Heidi is doing well and seems to be gaining weight, she doesn’t seem to be growing taller just yet but does seem to be a little heavier. Summit also got a hair cut since she was really hot. Other than than things are going well here. More pictures are up in the Gallery of Heidi.

Talk to you all soon!

New Photos

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Hi-

Well I guess it is my turn to make an update, but for everyone that has been asking we have uploaded more pictures of Heidi. They are all under the Heidi album in the gallery, Nichole has been having fun with the camera.

Things around here have actually been slow and the usual. We just have been enjoying being new parents and coping and adjusting to all the changes in our lives. I have gone back to work half time and working from home the rest and actually will be heading back to the lab full time starting next week so Nichole will be handling the Heidi by herself and will do a great job. We also took a new video as well of Heidi’s first tummy time and posted it below.

Well other than that not much is going on and just enjoying life in the South. Keep in Touch!

Two Week update

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Hi everyone,

Well things here are going pretty well. I figured I would update everyone since Heidi had her 2 week Doctor’s visit. She is big enough to make it on the growth chart! We were so excited. She is in the 3-5% for height and weight. Which means there is only 2 babies out of 100 that are smaller then her. But the Dr. says its ok since she is above her birth weight, she’s now 6 lbs and 3 oz. It was really fun to actually have a cute outfit to put her into since we didn’t have any pink for the first visit. She is doing well and is starting to sleep longer stretches at night which has been great.

Other than that things are going well here we have finally gotten some rain so the pasture is growing and the horses will have even more grass to eat, though they have been doing a pretty good job on the stuff so far. The dog and cat are coping with the baby pretty well, the dog is glad that Mom takes so many naps because she can sleep too.

Derek seems to be doing pretty well, he is working from home in the afternoons which is great to have him around to help. It has also been nice to have my Mom here to help out around the house and of course to hold her grand baby.

Hope you all are doing well!

One Week at Home

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Hi Everyone,

Happy 4th of July! We are all doing pretty well adjusting to the new baby and no sleep. Well Nichole is getting no sleep, the baby and Derek seem to be doing pretty well. Derek is busy with his new toy, his weather system that he got for his birthday. It has given him a little trouble with the wireless parts but seems to be working now so you can check out the weather at our house. Just click the weather link to the left to see detailed output and history of the current weather in Florida. Also on the weather page is a link to a webcam that is looking towards the back of our house as well timelapse as a video from the previous day. Let us know what you think.

Heidi is doing well she had her first bath, well really a wipe down that we video taped so you can check it out. She has also been to the Dr. and has gained back her birth weight and her jaundice is looking pretty good. We have some pictures of her in the sunshine hanging out with the cat. It is pretty cute. We also took her to the beach for the first time to show my mom the Gulf. She did not get out of the stroller, but she was there.

I am doing pretty well just tired. I am getting about 5 hours of sleep at night which is great. My mom is here and has been a big help around the house letting me get some rest, which I really appreciate it. We hope all is going well and there are new pictures in the Gallery!

Derek, Nichole and Heidi
