In with the new....

So I know I haven't been around for a while, I have a crawling child and that's the only way I can explain it! We had great holidays and then came the stomach virus. We all had it including my mom and my cousin. Not fun! We have had a few exciting things happen in the past few weeks. Lorelei started crawling and is now pulling up on anything and everything. She isn't pulling up on her feet just yet, just her knees but we know its coming. We have started babyproofing! Also she now has 3 teeth and several more trying to come in.
Lorelei had her 9 month Dr appointment today. She weighs 16lbs and is 28 inches long. Dr. Bonnett says that everything looks great. I am truly happy about that.
We have also found out that some of our friends are going to have a heart baby. They learned about this just last week. They are going to Charleston on Thursday to meet with the Pediatric Cardiologists there and find out more about what they are going to go through. So far they know he has a single ventricle and a small pulmonary artery and/or valve. Please pray for them as they journey through this time. I am going to add some pics from Christmas and winter. Hope everyone is doing well.

SNOW!!!

Her are some pics of Lorelei in her first snow! She tried to catch the snowflakes in her mouth without prompting!

Stomach virus and Happy New Year!

Last night Lorelei started throwing up and then this morning she started with the poop! Her pediatrician said that there is a bug going around. So now I have it and John thinks he's getting it. LOVELY!
On another note, Happy New Year to everyone!

Merry Christmas!

I am so unorganized this year! I am ususally on time with birthday/anniversary cards and one of the first ones out with my Christmas cards except now I have a baby! I believe that my New Year's resolution is to get organized! Well I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The next few days will be hectic I am sure so I probably won't get to post anything but I will get some pics up from Christmas and all. I also wanted to thank everyone again for their thoughts and prayers! We have been very blessed this year with Lorelei. We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday!
Love, Jess, John and Lorelei

First tooth

So John and I noticed on Monday that Lorelei didn't want anything to do with anything. She didn't want to be held, she didn't want on the floor, she fussed about everything. We finally got her to sleep. When we woke up Tuesday I decided to feel inside her mouth and I could feel something sharp! I was so excited, her first tooth. She obviously noticed it too because she kept running her tongue over it. It was funny to watch, she looked like a snake.
I am now sick and have a nasty cold but I would rather it be me then her. I have finished making and buying all my gifts and by Friday they will all be wrapped. Next on my list is to make cookies for work and daycare. Then I will be done. Hope everyone has a great week.

Christmas Photos

Since we've been home, Lorelei has been doing great! Still stuffy and a little whiney but no fever and lots of snot! Here are some pics of Lorelei we took last weekend. Billy Bob is my Dad's nickname for her.

Going Home

So we've been cleared to go home. She did awesome through the night. Her oxygen was great and her pressures were good. No more fever. Now we just have to wait for the paper work. We'd like to thank everyone for their prayers.
