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!

Well I figured I would let everyone know that we got home yesterday afternoon and everybody is doing well. Heidi just has a little Jaundice so we have to put her in the sun and make sure she is eating on a schedule. But it has been nice to be back in our own bed and to spend time at home. We have posted a few more pictures in the Gallery and I thought I would put the one below for my dad. This is the bassinet he made and it is already being put to good use. Thanks Dad.

Baby Update – 8 months and counting

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would update everyone with what is going on. First Happy 80th Birthday to my Grandma and Happy Graduation day to Jay who gets to graduate from High school today.

Things with us down here in Florida are going pretty well. It is starting to get pretty hot which people down here are saying that it will be a pretty hot summer so the pool will be getting a lot of use.

I went to the Dr. yesterday and they did an ultrasound just to check and make sure things were going well since I have been a little small. The baby looks great and everything looks normal. It is about 5 lbs now so hopefully it will only be about a 7 lb baby when it comes in a month. It was not cooperative again since it was playing with it’s feet so the tech could not even tell if it was a boy or a girl. Good thing we didn’t want to know. Here is a picture of the face, it looks a little grumpy, I think since we were pushing around on it to make sure all the fingers and toes were there.

Looks like 10 toes to me.

The tech said that the baby also had a lot of hair, it is the white flowing stuff that the arrows are pointing at

We hope you are all doing well and we will talk to you soon!

Exciting News

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

Well everyone I thought I would make a post since Derek has been doing most of them lately. We have some really exciting news. We are going to have a baby! The due date is July 11, 2009. We have decided not to find out what we are having so we can have a really big surprise. I have been feeling really pretty good, only a few bad days and really have not thrown up at all. Which has been really great. Our families are both really excited since it will be the  first grandbaby for either side, needless to say that baby is going to be spoiled. We posted the picture of the ultrasound, this shot was not really good, but the head is on the right and the feet are pointed to the left. The baby moved quite a bit so I was really able to  see it really well. Derek is doing good just busy with finals but he and I both are really excited. Hope everyone is doing well!
