Welcome Baby Alexia!!

Baby Alexia is finally here!! She was born on Tuesday April 28th at 8:55 am, she weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and is 19 inches long!! Such a cutie!!

We went to the hospital on Monday night at 9:30pm (me, mom, Rockie, Jill, Jarrell, Abbey of course) we were all up all night hanging out and then she finally had her the next day.

i have more pictues but these were from my phone( I forgot my cord to upload to the computer) so more are to come!

Both mom and baby were happy and healthy although Abbey says she will NEVER do it again!!






Sorry these are out of order!

Waiting...

Well, Abbey is 2 days past due date and we are still waiting!! Last night I thought was for sure the night but nothing! She was having contractions every 10 min and then every 5 min... and then nothing!! Maybe later today we will have soemthing! She had a test at 10:30 am so she was happy to get that over with.

Keep waiting with me!! : )

Hello

Well, it is now almost a month until the wedding and I feel like I still have way to much to do!! Just the little things that I keep thinking about!
Saturday mom and I are going to go and try to get most of them done though!!
I am having my jewelry made by Ali who sells some of her stuff at Girly Girl and it is so pretty I can't wait to get it!! I got to see a preview yesterday!!
Justin's throat had been hurting last week so he went to the doctor on Friday and found out he had strep throat, I was really hoping that I wasn't going to get it but sure enough, Saturday afternoon mine started hurting so I went on Sunday and yep, I got it too! Now we are both on antibiotics so thats fun!! OH well, at least this wasn't the week of the wedding or somthing!!

Be watching for a Lexi update!!

Gymnastics

Last night I got to go watch Kayla at her gymnastics class! It was so cute! They are only 3 so it was hanging on the bars and jumping on the trampoline mostly but still cute! She loves it!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a good day and we will see you for dinner tonight!!

Counting down the days...

Abbey is just waiting for something to happen!! Last week at her doctor visit she was dilated 2 cm and they could feel Lexi's head!! She has this week's visit tomorrow (Firday) Her actual due date is Saturday April 25th!! She has an appointment on Tusday the 28th to get induced if she doesn't have her by then!! I guess as of last night she could feel Lexi moving her head and said it was the weirdest feeling!! Everyday at work I just keep waiting for the call!!
As long as it is ok with the doctor Jill, mom and I get to be in the room for the birth!! We were all in there with Jill too! So exciting!!

Downtown South Bend

Today Anna and I went downtown to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings, on our way there we saw people picketing! Something about taxes...it was quite interesting!

After lunch we went to the South Bend Chocolate Cafe for a treat and saw a gorilla!-treats are not really on my "diet" but it sounded good, when I got back to work to eat my treat I ended up throwing it away, it was not what I was expecting!

Fun times!

Sun bather

Almost everyday that the sun is remotely out there is a guy that comes to Howard Park and lays out in the sun. Keep in mind it is like maybe 50 degrees out! He drives his moped, parks it, takes his shirt off, rolls up his shorts as far as he can and lays down on a towel. Who does this is a public area, especially when it is not even hot out! Everyday we all look and him and laugh, one day one of us should go out there and lay next to him to see what he does!!

Engagement Pictures!!

Today at lunch I got to go see the pictures from Saturday!! They turned out really well!
There is a link for them on my blog list!

Go away winter!

This is what we woke up to this morning, yes on April 6th. It is crazy, I am so ready for winter to be over its not funny. I need to have some nice weather so it feels like Spring and we have decent weather for the wedding...which is NEXT month!! Crazy how we can have snow today and just 2 days ago it was nice enough for us to get our pictures taken outside! Our engagement pics went really well, I get to go see them tomorrow. I guess I wouldn't really call them engagement pics since we are getting married next month and have been engaged for awhile, but thats what they were called in our photo package so thats what I called them!! We got a really cute one with Duke so I was happy. Britney didn't go but it was better, we only took a couple with Duke anyway.

I am hoping our invitations come this week so we can get them addressed and out the door!! Need to find out who is coming and who is lame and can't make it! : )

Bridal Shower!

I had my last bridal shower this weekend it is was a lot of fun. I'm not going to lie, it is fun getting gifts!! My mom had this shower for me and some of her best friends helped her. Her best friend, Lola, from Iowa came on Thursday and stayed til Monday to help, they have been friends since like 2nd grade! Diane came from Chicago to help too! I am so happy she has such great friends! Its crazy to think that us girls will be doing this for our daughters one day!
















the car was packed!!
