more at 6 months!!

oh boy...

SURPRISE!!! Yes we are expecting again and what a surprise it is...very very unexpected as of right now the estimated due date is Feb 11, 2013, but I go in for an ultrasound on July 3rd and we will know the exact due date.  So this one and Maddie will be about 12 months apart, very close.  We are excited and over whelmed for this next arrival.  I will keep you guys updated!! :)

yes we are still alive

it's been awhile..but thought i would update you on what is going on in our lives right now, most recently dustin made e-5 he is getting frocked on thursday (maddie and i will be there).  i am still in school finished my first class last week with a b-..not too bad for my first online class..i start tomorrow today actually.  i am also looking into getting licensed thru the state to become a home day care provider and try and work for the navy, i am pretty excited about it.  it means i will still be able to stay home with jaxson and madison and go to school but be able to earn some extra income.  we are going to be moving again at the end of july (we are moving into a friends house who is moving back to their home state).  jaxson is growing like a weed and slowly starting to talk more, maddie is getting big, she goes in for her 4 month check up at the end of this month,,she is getting better at lifting up her head, and she scoots around when you put on a blanket..she tries to push herself onto her side, she hasn't figured out how to roll over yet, but hopefully soon.  i guess that's all for now..short but sweet. more at the end of this month.

Happy as a clam

My heart is full..especially today since it is mother's day.  I am so greatful for these two and the fact that they choose me to be their mom.  I couldn't ask for anything more, and so long I wanted to be a mom and they made it happen.  I hope and pray that I can be a good example to them both as my mom has been to me over the years!! I am greatful for my own mom and the love she has shown me over the years.  She has helped me become the mom I am hoping to be and know I can.  I know I am going to make mistakes, I am not perfect, but I hope that Jaxson and Madison will always know that I love them no matter what they do or where they go in their lives.

Mother's Love

Maddie 2 months

Here are her stats for 2 months

weight: 10lbs 4.07 oz
height: 25 inches

she is in 39th percentile for her weight and 20th percentile for her height.  the doctor is very pleased with her weight gain, cause when we went in for her 2 wk they were worried.  but she is a little porker.

activities: she eats 3 to 3.5 oz every 3 hrs and naps thru out the day, she is now smiling and is cooing and it is too cute.  she is very alert and is very much a momma's girl, whenever dustin holds her and she hears me, she will try and figure out where i am.  she sleeps at night pretty good, usually 5 hrs one time she even slept for 7.  which is quite nice, because it took jaxson along time to sleep thru the night.  she gets cuter every day and i wish time would slow down.  more updates at her 4 month.
