New Baby News

I went to the Dr. Tuesday and everything looks great with the baby. I got to hear the heartbeat and it was good and strong. Then he sent me back to do another sono and scheduled to come back in two weeks to do it all again. For those who know you usually go back every four weeks in the 1st and 2nd trimesters, but I had a LEEP done right before I found out I was pregnant again. So because of this we have to keep a close eye on everything to make sure things dont turn bad. I was already a high risk with having PCOS and now even higher with the LEEP. Only I would have to most annoying, but easiest pregnancies. But the good news is that I get to see baby a lot, and that I love. So I thought I would end this with a couple of the sono pictures. Enjoy.

This is baby at 8 weeks. Looks like a Gummy Bear.

This is at 13 weeks, no more looking like a Gummy Bear.

Work and Baby News

Well I have survived my first protest season. And after this baby is born I'll be back to work just in time to start next years. So far I'm enjoying my job. It just stinks I'm so tired all the time, but only a couple more weeks of that. I'm now 11 weeks pregnant with #2 and needless to say I do not enjoy being pregnant. But the good news is that I'm getting it over with soon because after this one I'm done, REALLY done. Grant and I are having a hard time agreeing on names this time around. Which makes me happy that we start so early thinking about it, but frustrated because it was so easy the first time. I go to the Dr in a couple of weeks for my 4 week check up. And I also know that I need to get some new pictures of Nolyn up on here. Well that's all for now at least just a short update while I'm doing nothing at work.

Big News

Well a lot has been going on here at the Stogdill House. My new job is going great. So far very easy and great money. Nolyn has been enjoying her babysitter which is great as well. Nolyn is now crawling all over the place and pulling up on almost everything. This just means she's now getting into trouble.

The other news at the Stogdill house is that Nolyn's going to be a big sister in late January early February. You heard right we're expecting again. Trust us this one was a big shock, and completely unplanned. But everything happens for a reason, and for a reason we may not understand right now God planned this for us. Tomorrow I will be 10 weeks so Im very close to being out of the first trimester which I cant wait for.

Thats all the new news for now. We'll do our best to keep everyone updated.

Lots Going On

Ok, its been a while since I've posted so I've got a lot to put into this one but I'll cut out a lot. Well to start things off I got a new job that is great. I now work for Denton County so I have a good job with good benefits. This couldn't of come at a better time. So Nolyn has started back at the babysitter. This time we got a different one then we used last time. She seems to enjoy it. We took Nolyn to the little zoo and park here in Gainesville a couple of Sundays ago. Of course she really didn't care much about the zoo but she liked the park. I've included some pictures from it. We also took Nolyn to the lake for the first time the other day. She had a blast in the water. That was the first of many trips. The day after I started my job, that I cant take off for 6 months, Nolyn went to the specialist in Ft. Worth, so Grant took her. There is a first time for everything. Everything went well and we go back in 3 months, hopefully for the last time. We that's all I can think of at the moment. So enjoy the pictures and hopefully if wont take so long for me to post again.

How Fast They Grow

Nolyn is now 6 months old and has something new to show everyday. I love watching her grow and discover the world around her. She has started holding her bottle, dinking from a sippy cup, and sitting better by herself. Here are some new pictures of her, they were taken with my phone so that explains why they are not the greatest quality. The last picture is Grants favorite.

Busy, Busy, Busy

That doesn't even start to explain it these days. This weekend Nolyn and I went with my parents and sister Kellie to my other sisters Regional Track meet in Palestine, TX. It was Nolyn's first REAL trip. She did really well to my surprise. I really don't know why this shocks me because shes such a good baby. Once we got to the meet she just hung out under the tents in the shade. She got in 2 VERY short naps and still was never fussy. I don't know how we got such a great baby but we're lucky.

While we were gone Grant stayed home to work and remodel our bathroom. The house we are in is very old and very outdated so we're (well Grant is) fixing it up. Its looking so really good. Can't wait for it to all be done. Maybe when its done I'll post some pictures of it. Well the electrician will be here soon, just wanted to get a little bit of an update on us.
