8 Weeks - Bellies!

7 Weeks - Blueberry

We are seven weeks pregnant and a lot is happening to our little embryo, inside of me at the moment. It's arms and legs are sprouting and it has doubled in size since last week - now the size of Landyn's favorite little berry

Though this delicious fruit is so yummy and sweet, I sure don't feel so much of that right now. I guess because I'm running around with a toddler on top of the tiredness from pregnancy, it just seems to be harder this time around, on my body. But looking at the positives, I'm getting a lot of needed sleep, more baths and TONS of attention from the Mr. of the house! He always seems to know exactly what I need, when I need it (like a plate of oranges and nuts in the bath yesterday)!!

And I know this is God's way of preparing us, in some form, for adding another miracle in our "mix". I love knowing there is a reason for all of this!

Lovely Landyn is Proud...

to announce that she will soon be a

We are excited to add another Roberts to our family at the end of September, 2011. We went to our first doctor's appointment and found out that my progesterone levels are a bit low, so I have to take a supplement until we hear the babies heartbeat. I've had several friends who've had the same issue and everything turned out fine.

Look who else is super excited!

Check back for updates :)

Firsts

First off - this post will be a combination of several recent events in one.

The first is Landyn's first day of daycare (January 4th). The goes to the Goddard School in Pearland. We chose this facility due to the location (very near my school) and the recommendations from parents and teachers I've talked with. When we walked in we felt very comfortable and the teachers seem very trustworthy and in love with the children.

On her first day I had to wake her up for the first time in her life (at 6:30). So...she looked a little rough that first day because she was tired and we were so anxious to make sure we had her there with everything she needed (I forgot to brush her hair not that it would have helped!) LOL

She had a great first day and first week. On Wednesday she had her 15 month check up and got 3 vaccinations :( Her measurements were 21.5 lbs (25%) and 33 inches tall (110%). Looks like we have a super model on our hands ;) On Thursday they called and said she had a fever. I went to pick her up and later that night we ended up in the E.R. for the first time in her life (we made it 15 months) with a fever at 107! Obviously, she had an infection (they diagnosed her with an ear infection) and gave her a shot and antibiotics. She will be finished with those in 10 days (only 3 days to go).

She is doing much better now, but has conformed to a new "wake-up" time around 6 (boooo!). She also is so worn out at the end of the day and starts to climb in her crib saying "Night, night" before her bedtime (that's a first).

So with many firsts in the past 2 weeks we have been so thankful that everything is on a routine and Landyn is on her way to medicine-free days. She loves "school" and they love her too.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

We are Thankful

Landyn spent her second Thanksgiving with all of our family, but it wasn't the same without Grandpa Roberts and GG. This is the start to our first Holiday season without them. We are blessed to have so many family members to surround ourselves with during a bittersweet time. Both sides of our families came over for a pot luck lunch. We provided the yummy turkey!

We are thankful for the gift we are given each day to wake up and touch the lives of others. We are thankful for the blessings were have been given to meet our needs through the knowledge, gifts and talents God has given us. There are so many things to be thankful for, but one of the things we are most recently thankful for, is the opportunity to have been able to know Grandma Roberts and Doug. They were people who made differences in the lives of all around them. We learned great lessons from each of them and they will be truly missed!

We love you Grandma Roberts/GG and Doug/Dad/Grandpa

O-N-E

Landyn's first birthday was a success! We celebrated on her actual birthday, October 9th. Since we have access to our neighborhood park and splash pad, we put it to good use! Family and friends came to celebrate! Landyn LOVED playing, splashing, eating cake (with her little friends' help) and opening all of her lovely presents, which included a hand-made, toybox from her Daddy and Uncle Randy!

The past year has flown by, but we are so blessed with a happy, healthy baby girl who is now considered a "toddler" We are excited to see what's in store for Landyn's future.
