2 month check up!

The Friday before we left for vacation, Lexie went for her 2 month check up at the doctor. She weighed 10 lbs. 3 oz. and was 24 1/4" long! Whoa! Here is what Lexie did on her 2 month birthday...

Will post again after I finish my homework with pictures from vacation! :)

4th of July and 8 weeks old!

This past weekend we got to celebrate the 4th of July with David, Nekayeh, Norah Kate and Chula (along with other friends and family here in Savannah). Norah Kate decided to reclaim her vibrating chair since Lexie wasn't sitting in it...as you can tell...she may have out grown it! Ha!


This is how Lexie spent her time at our riverside cookout Saturday!
Sunday, we got to see our friends Allison and Drew...but somehow I didnt' get any picture from that day! It was fun though guys!

Today, Lexie is 8 weeks old!!! I can NOT believe how fast the time is going by!!! This was one of about 10 pictures I took of her today trying to catch a smile...better luck next time. I will be sure to post her stats after her checkup Friday.

LEXIE!

Well, I was just thinking the other day, how different things are around the Williams household from this time last year! WOW! Lexie is currently 7 weeks and 2 days old. :) I am shocked that the last few weeks have gone by so fast! I guess it's true...time flies when you are sleep deprived!!! HA! At her two-week check up Lexie was 8 lbs. 12 oz. and 22 1/4" long! Whoa! We go a week from today for her 2 month check up and I honestly cannot wait to see how much she has grown.

I have just completed my first summer course which required me to drive to Jackson 2 nights a week for the last 4 weeks. It definitely had some rough moments, but it's over! I did it! Mom was great to come help take care of Lexie a few nights. She stayed with her daddy (yes, by himself!) a few nights, and she even got to stay with Auntie Allie and Uncle Drew one night. I start my next summer class next week, but it is online. Hopefully that will be easier on all of us. We are also getting ready to take Lexie on her first trip to the tar...I mean beach. ; ) We'll be sure to post pictures from her first beach photo shoot!

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks!

We are making sure to give Lexie some "tummy time" most days. She usually just goes to sleep...as you can see.

Happy 1 month birthday Lexie!

On Father's Day...Happy 1st Father's Day Jamie! (Lexie got him a Wii game...she knows him so well already! Ha!)

Lexie is getting to be lots of fun and we are getting some really good smiles these days. I love this picture because it looks like she is cracking up laughing, but there was no sound.

This weekend we went to Henderson, KY for my cousin Nathana's wedding. Lexie was an all-star traveler! I seriously could not have asked for a better baby on this trip! She even slept through me screaming and jumping on the arm of my grandmother's loveseat when I saw a mouse!!! (Mom was holding her thankfully!...and yes, the mouse was eventually "caught.") Here is our family picture from the wedding.

Happy Birthday!

SHE'S FINALLY HERE!!!

Last Tuesday, May 11, we checked in to the hospital to begin the induction process. The plan was to start some medication at 5 p.m., then (if needed) start Pitocin the following morning between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Well, the Pitocin was NOT needed! Things began quickly around midnight, followed by phone calls to parents around 1:15 a.m. AND...our baby girl made her entrance into the world at 3:30 a.m.

SO...(drumroll please...)...we are excited to introduce Lexie Catherine, born May 12, 2010 at 3:30 a.m. 8 lbs. 10 oz., 20 1/2 inches

We have been doing really well at home so far - thanks in large part to help from my mom who has been staying with us! She is leaving this weekend and we will definitely miss her help!!!

Lexie asked me to wish a very special "Happy Birthday" to Mama Lynn (my mom) - who spent her birthday taking care of us!!! We love you!

39 weeks and counting!

Hey all!
Well, I tried to post some pictures from the last few weeks and couldn't get them to upload (???). Anyway, we are at about 39 1/2 weeks. I go back to the doctor tomorrow. Jamie keeps telling me I need to go into labor while we're in Jackson...ha...I told him I'd see what I could do. :) Will post more with new pics after baby gets here - unless she waits a long time...in which case I'll try the other ones again. Ha!

Almost there!

We are now about 5 1/2 weeks from the "due date"! I can't believe it!!! I feel like it has gone by so fast. I told Jamie I feel like I woke up one morning and I was 20 weeks all of a sudden. Now I'm almost 35 weeks!!! Whoa! I'm feeling really good (except for some backaches...but that's to be expected at this point!). I've had two showers and have gotten tons of great stuff for our little girl. We have one more shower scheduled at our church here in Savannah. Everyone has been SO generous with their giving and we can't possibly thank them enough! I go back to the doctor next week - which will start my WEEKLY visits! Jamie asked if I was nervous that we're getting so close. I told him no...but I probably should be! Ha!

I just finished one spring semester class at Union and will be completing another before the baby comes, so please keep all 3 of us in your prayers. The next 5 1/2 weeks will be packed full of activities and assignments! Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

This is at my shower in Pocahontas - about 33 weeks here. (Thanks Ms. Janna for taking this pic!)

At our last childbirth class, the guys had to wear the "empathy belly" - weighing about 35 lbs. They had to sit in a bean bag on the floor and get up out of it, then pick up several items off of the floor. Funny.

My sweet girls (a.k.a. "The Aunties") threw a great party in Jackson this past weekend. This is all of us and our first "nephew" Collin. Love you all!!! Thanks for such a fun day! (Left to right: Sarah, Allison, me, Kerra, and Crystal - w/ Collin)

Here's a sneak peak at the baby's room! My grandmother made our bedding!!! There is also a matching striped curtain w/ green trim. More pics of the baby's room to come...when it's finished! :)

Along the way...

Well, we are pressing on in preparations for the arrival of our little girl! We expect to meet her in about 10 weeks - wow! We actually started our childbirth classes last night, and I'm not sure Jamie will recover from his first birthing video experience...ha, ha, ha! We'll see. :) Below are just a couple of pictures of what we've been up to over the last few weeks.


This is me on Valentine's Day. Jamie sent me the flowers to work. Didn't he do good? (I'm about 27 weeks along in this picture.)

Jamie was off of work on President's Day. We actually had a pretty good snow and he decided to play in the snow on our deck. He made Charlie an igloo - and then made him pose with it. Poor Charlie...

We recently went to Kentucky to celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday. They had gotten A LOT more snow than we had. So...Jamie decided to play in it. However, it was about 50 degrees the day he got to play (hence the short-sleeves). He and my cousin Jonathan built this snowman.
