2 weeks old

Clutch is now 2 weeks old and 8lb 12oz. He gained a pound in the last week because all he does is eat eat eat!! Addie is doing a good job adjusting, but has her moments for sure. I am so thankful for everyone that has been willing to help out and take her off our hands. We had our first day at the house yesterday with just me and the kids. It went much better than I expected. Luckily I'll get a couple days a week to catch up on rest as the grandmas still plan on taking her for me. Now we just need to make it through the holidays!

Baby Boy

Clutch August was born 12/5/12 at 11:29am after a very fast labor and delivery. He weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. A lanky little man he is! We are all doing well.

Full Term

Halloween 2012

Halloween was a lot of fun until Adelaide had a petty awesome meltdown at about 7pm. Sweet girl couldn't take anymore excitement, but she still looked good doing it;)

Babysitting

We babysat for some friends on Saturday, and this person proved she is going to be an excellent big sister.

Dentist

Adelaide's dentist said everything looks great. Her 2 year molars are most likely on the way, but lets hope the teething process isn't as bad the older she is. Hopefully they don't decide to show up right around baby brothers arrival!

We've been sleeping in our big girl bed for a week now. I wanted her to have some transition time before I snagged the crib away. Only 8 more weeks until our little man is due!

JCP

Thanks to my sisters genius we now have an amazingly tacky photo session of Adelaide. It's crazy what $6 can buy you sometimes. Well worth every penny.

28 and 30

Over the weekend we went to the beach with our friends Morgan and Emily. It was a perfect time of year for the Oregon coast. The weather was beautiful! Addie loved playing in the sand even more than I expected. We took her crabbing on Friday, this was the coldest day of the weekend, but we still had a good time. We all came home Sunday night an enjoyed a birthday dinner for yours truly at the most kid/large party friendly restaurant ever, The Old Spaghetti Factory. Addie was an amazing trooper at dinner. She was
totally happy sitting for an hour and randomly started handing out hugs to people. This is a new favorite of mine. Monday I turned 28. I cannot believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful life at such a young age. I also cannot wait for the new member of our family to arrive! Today marks 30 weeks pregnant, and all the joys that come with the end of pregnancy are upon us. I am having lots of practice contractions already. Lord help me!

A busy weekend...

We had a jam packed 3 days. Friday AM Adelaide and I visited my OBGYN to check on baby boy. Everything looked great but we are still waiting for my gestational diabetes results, not that I am at all worried. That night was my Dad's 60th Birthday party. It was great fun! Little lady was a trooper and made it all the way until 8:30pm before telling us she was ready for bed. It's amazing that she does this, but also quite nice to have a little person so happy to go to bed! Saturday we took her to her first concert. My Morning Jacket put on a show for children at the Kennedy School, and it was pretty awesome to see them live at such a small venue that was also directed at kids! Sunday we went to a BBQ for Auntie Katye's Birthday, which ended with another night of Addie telling me she is ready for bed! This weekend we are heading to the beach for a final vacation before we are the parents of two. So. Crazy.

sick

This is by far the worst sickness Adelaide has ever had. Last night she woke us up at 12am with a fever of 103.8 and was crying hysterically. We let her stay in our bed the rest of the night, which means I got about zero sleep. Today has been one of her most grumpy days to date. I feel so bad that she isn't feeling well, and I am very ready to have my sweet girl back to normal before our big weekend ahead! Wish us luck.

Anniversary trip

Mike and I have been married for 5 years! It's crazy to think how fast those years have flown by, but soon we will have 2 kids and one of those kids will be 2 years old! We spent the last 5 nights in Bend, Or enjoying time at the pool and scenic walks. Adelaide was quite entertaining with all the talking ad new words she has learned. She now holds up a finger and tells you "one more" to whatever food item she would like more of. She says lots of sentences and is very vocal at all times. I cannot believe the daily changes that are happening. Oh how I love my little lady!
