*Aaron graduated from ALS late March & is now in charge of 4 guys. We just sponsored a new guy straight from tech school & Aaron has been busy running him around, helping him learn the ropes and get everything situated. Aaron also started taking up golfing & is becoming quite the golfer. He goes with his buddy Adam pretty much every weekend & they have a grand ole time. I'm just glad he has someone to go with, because I think golf is quite boring :)
Libby is continuing to just grow like a weed & I'm pretty sure she is close to 18 lbs now. She has another peds appt. in two weeks to check on things & do another weight check, so I'm hoping at least by then she gains. She is eating more & more cereal.. and it's just so cute to watch her eat because it just seems like we can't shovel the food in her mouth fast enough. She's like a little baby bird, swallows, and then opens her mouth right back up & will make an Ahh sound if we take too long :) We tried introducing pears back in, but she wasn't having any of that. Maybe 5-6 bites and she clammed right up. We did do sweet potatoes last night & she smiled & ate about 8-9 bites... so MAYBE just MAYBE she is starting to warm up to the idea of baby food. Other than her 10 month update I just did on her, she isn't really up to anything else.. besides stealing all of our hugs, kisses, & love :)She is so much fun right now & is just so giggly & happy that it makes up for all the delays & feeding issues. Still not crawling, but we don't mind.. we know she is healthy & will get there eventually.
*Baby Presley- is doing great, kicking up a storm & is taking up ALL my rib space which is starting to really hurt. She is laying transverse just like Libby did, but she just seems to be higher up than Libby was. She seems to really kick & move when Libby lays on my stomach. It's so sweet, because Liberty will smile & lay her head down on my belly and put both her hands there, and Presley will move, and Libby will start laughing and look up at me & smile. I know it sounds crazy, but Aaron & I both know that Libby knows Presley is there. She loves to just lay there with her head on my belly and smile & coo & babble to Presley. I'm sure they will be great friends & we are just so thankful & excited to be blessed with a little sister for Libby.
As for me- I cut my hair! I've been busy taking care of Miss Liberty & planning her first birthday party!! We are doing the theme of "our little cupcake" and so far it has been LOTS of fun planning everything! I've also been busy sewing both Liberty & Presley's crib sets. I'm doing it in the 2d Zoo Holly theme by fabric designer, Alexander Henry, & it's turning out pretty cute! Liberty's is done, I just need to finish up Presley's crib bumper & then I will post pics of their nursery!
Pregnancy wise-well I'm still sick & puking 3-5 times a day.. (which makes me roll my eyes when others say they are "sick" but aren't or haven't puked) I'm 25 wks & have officially hit the stage of viability!! That was our first goal & we've met it, now next goal is to get to 30 weeks, and I'm praying with all my might I get to at least get that far. My blood pressure keeps creeping upwards & so does my protein levels, & liver enzymes, so it does make me pretty weary on getting the full term birth I dream of. I'm much more optimistic about it than my MFM & OB's are, but ya never know, it could happen! I started seeing spots this last week, & I have officially lost my ankles to swelling, & carpel tunnel syndrome has come on full force with all the numbing in my hands this week.. but other than that, I'm doing good! I'm thankful for every new week I get to stay pregnant & just taking it week by week. This pregnancy is flying by which scares me a little because I'm scared of the whole 2 under 2 thing, and am pretty sure I might just go a little crazy, but I know it's all worth it :)
That's pretty much our April in a nutshell :)
