Addie's jaundice check

Addie had to have a follow-up jaundice check on Monday! She was just yellow in the face and that was it! They said it was from her little body trying to heal the cut and huge strawberry bruise on the top of her head!

Her car ride to the doctor to be checked!

Sitting in the room waiting for the "light" check!
She had lost a few ounces, but that is okay!

A couple more pics of Addie!

OUR BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!

Addie was born Thursday, May 29th at 7:10 pm!

She weighed in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 1/4 inches long!

This is the closest picture to her ultrasound that we have loaded! She didn't want to be naked or clean!!

Daddy's FIRST diaper change EVER!

SHE IS HERE!!

Down time at the pool store!!

As some of you may know, I haven't been working at Dr. Smith's office since last Monday! I have been having some problems!! Addie is fine!! It's just affecting me!! I think I have been to the doctor 20 times in the last 2 weeks!! OK, maybe not 20, but close!!!!! He finally gave me something to relax me and help with the pain!! He is the best!! I have been able to go to the pool store since Tuesday and at least answer the phone!! Laying in bed for over a week just about did me in!! I have no idea how Meg did it!! Me, Mom, and Rusty had some down time yesterday! We decided to play with some blocks she bought to keep at her house!!

My work shower!

My work shower was yesterday at Louis!!!

They had the room decorated so cute!

This is everyone that I work with, except Karen D.!(I understand)

I really wish Ali had been able to be there, but she is now in Johnson City!

This had to be one of the cutest cakes I have ever seen! It was actually cupcakes!!
Rusty got to join in on the fun! UNPLANNED! He came by the office for a totally different reason, but when he got there he realized that I was really sick and having lots of pain!! I think everyone thought I wasn't going to make it to my shower! I did though!! He took excellent care of me and went with us to make sure I was going to be okay!!
The present they made me save for last was Addie's quilt. Everyone in the office made their own square for the quilt and then they had her name put on it and quilted together!! Even Ali did her square before she moved!! It is so precious!! There isn't any blood on it now, but I'm sure a lot went into it!! Thanks so much guys!

Addie's Mommy's family shower

My side of the family had us a shower this past Sunday!

Here is my sister Morgan, my Aunt Missy, me, and my Aunt Tracy.

They had it at Tracy's house!!

The food was excellent!

Rusty and Brent enjoyed what I brought home also!!

My sister is also pregnant! Even though it just looks like she enjoyed the food too much, she was 20 weeks in this picture! Thanks Meg for the dress!!
This is me and my little cousin Evie. We decided to lay back and relax after the shower!
She actually fell asleep! Take a good look at where her right arm is!! Propped up on my belly!!!

Update!!

Okay, there are no pictures for this update!! There really isn't a picture for this!! Thank goodness!

Well, where do I begin? I had a doctor appt. Friday, but it had to be cancelled!! My doctor went into preterm labor and has been put on bed rest until weeks after my due date!! So, as you were probably thinking, I did have to pull over into a parking lot on Broadway and have a breakdown Thursday!! Once I regained my composure, I was able to call her office back to let them find me a doc to see for the next 4 weeks!

They were able to work me in on Friday afternoon, Thank Goodness, because I had not seen her in 3 weeks!! So, my feelings about the "No Male Doc" was shot out the window!! Oh, well! He is really goofy, but I work with goofy everyday! I am used to it!! So, he said her head was really low, but I knew that!! What he did tell me that I didn't know, I am dilated to 2!! I even asked him if he was sure!!! He said yes! I am convinced that I will still walk around this way until the end of May!! So, please say a little prayer that nothing happens to this guy!! Thank you!!

Addie's church shower!!

Our church had us a shower April 24th! Addie got a lot of good stuff! Tonya Webster made Rusty attend, because she said she likes to watch the guys go through the stuff!

I am looking huge in this picture!!

See, guys can really have fun at these things!!!

More pictures of Kylah!

I was finally able to get a picture holding Kylah! Too bad I look like I am in pain!!

It doesn't matter, at least I have one!!

Look how sweet!!!
She is so precious!!!

New pictures of Evie!

Evie had her pictures made on Friday and then came to the pool store to see everyone!!

She is so cute! I love her little smile!!

She laughs at my mom pretty good!!

Addie's friends shower!

My friends Alison and Ashley had a shower for me last Saturday! It was so nice!!

It was at Alison's and Ashley made the food!

I am trying to convince her that she needs to go into the catering business!!

Ashley also made "It's A Girl" suckers as favors!
These were the prettiest, best tasting petit fours I have ever had!!

They had daisies and Addie's initials on them!!

I took some home and Rusty's dad wanted the recipe!

The question is, would he really make them? I have a feeling Susan would be doing that!!

Alison took my picture with everyone as they got there. Little did I know, J.R. was upstairs printing them off!! She had started a scrapbook for the shower! Everyone had to make their own page before they could leave!! It was sort of funny, because all but 2 of the people there were pregnant!

Kylah Elise Benn- 4/9/08

Congratulations Meghann and Michael!

She is Beautiful!!

Kylah was born Wednesday morning at 7:32 a.m., 7lbs-4oz, 18 1/2 in long!

She was scheduled to come into this world Thursday morning, but apparently decided one more day was too long to wait! Michael is really wanting someone to tell him she has one of his features!! He is trying really hard to convince everyone, but I think Meg is winning this race!!

She makes some of the cutest faces!! Some are pouty!!
Her aunt Susan was so excited to go see her!! We have no pictures of Rusty and I with her, because we didn't have the camera with us Wednesday night! I am sure we will make up for it!!

Addie's 1st Shower!!

Rusty's side of the family had us a shower yesterday!

It turned out so cute!!

It was at our house so everyone could see Addie's nursery.

The theme was "Pickles and Ice Cream" since she is going to be a Pickel!!

He looks so proud!!!

The Grandmothers!!
They gave out party favors, a.k.a. BUBBLES,

that looked like ice cream cones.

It read, "Send me best wishes, Blow me some kisses. Love, Addie"

They were a hit!!!

Addie's great-aunt Diane made the centerpiece with her name on one side and "sweet pickels grown here" on the other. It was too cute!! I am not sure if you can tell, but there are real pickles in the arrangement!!

We had ice cream sundaes for dessert! They were wonderful! Mindy did such a good job on her diaper cake!!!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!!

Can you guess who's belly this is?

It's Mine!!

Meg and I thought it would be fun to paint our belly's like eggs for Easter!!
Katelyn wanted in on the action too!!
Rusty and Michael were the ones who did the painting!!
Meg and I just got to lay there and laugh!!
Meg is on bed rest, so this is the most fun she has had in a while!!
Rusty did a great job!
Michael made a chicken hatch out of their egg!!
Rusty added a lot of detail!! Michael was getting tired of waiting on him!
Katelyn was really enjoying her Reece Cup cake! Check out the floor!!!

Evie's baby dedication

Evie's baby dedication was today!

This was the best shot we could get from where we were sitting! I guess that is what happens when you are cutting time close on Easter sunday!!
