Introducing Grant Alan Olds

This was the first time that I got to see him other than for a quick sec right when he was born. I had to wait a day and a half!

The nurses that gave him a bath spiked his hair. It was cute.

Here he is today....snoozing away. I think he likes being at home. He is eating much more and seems to be relaxed.
I am so glad that we are home now. I think that Jailynn is too. She still won't touch him, but she will wave to him and say hi. She looks so big next to him. She is about 20 to 25 pounds and Grant is just under 6 pounds. It is funny to think that Jailynn was that small when she was born too. Rusty is just here. He doesn't really care about too much as long as he is getting fed.

Thank you to Brenda, Leslea and Lauren for all your help this week with Jailynn!

Thank you to all those that have brought meals and will be bringing them. It is greatly appreciated! We are so lucky to have made such good friends here in Phoenix!

Well Grant was born Jan. 20, 2009. He had to stay in hospital for a few extra days. That is why I haven't posted any pictures yet. I plan on doing that tomorrow. As for now, everything is good. No more sleepness nights nights driving between home and the hospital. I am feeling pretty good and Jailynn is doing good with him. Gerry is tired I am sure but he won't admit it. Be looking for those pictures to come though.

I have been so bad at keeping up with this the last month or so. I also didn't take pictures on the camera at Christmas. We took some on our phones though. Jailynn and I spent most of December in Arkansas and then Gerry joined us. We did get some family photos and when I get them I will post some. All of my siblings were there which hasn't happened in a few years. We had a good time and Jailynn loves Nana and Papa. She also loved their hot tub. We knew that she would though. It was cooler there, but not too bad. There wasn't any snow or ice while we were there. We made it back to Phoenix on the 27th. Since then we have been getting for the baby to arrive. Jailynn is now sleeping in a queen size bed and the crib has been moved to a different room. She seems to like the fact that when she wakes up she can just get up and move around the house. We will see how it goes when the baby gets here though. She likes to come in and make sure that we are getting up as well.

So, Jailynn is a couple days shy from being 14 months. She doesn't weigh 20 lbs yet. She has 2 teeth on the bottom and 1 1/2 showing on the top. They aren't all the way in yet. She is very good at saying no and shaking her head. When she wants something out of the fridge she repeats mommy and trys to pull on the door. Most of the time she doesn't even know what she wants from in there, she just wants to look. I am so excited to take her to Fort Smith for christmas. I want to take her on the train at the park to see all the lights. She is a little older this time, so hopefully she won't be so clingy when we are around family. When her cousin Kadence came here they played so when we get there we will stay with her and Sara. YAY!!! I will have to take some more pictures before we go since it is in the upper 80s here still. She loves to go outside and pick up dirt, rocks and anything else she can find. She is so much fun and we can't wait for the next one to get here!!

Our little mess!!

I decided that it was time to cut Jailynns hair so that it could all grow evenly. The top was much longer than the back. She did very well with her daddy holding her. She had her check up yesterday, but I knew she wasn't feeling well. Turns out she has an ear infection, not just a cold like I thought. This could be the reason that she has been extrememly cranky!! She did not have a fever though. She ended up getting 4 shots and some medicine.

Here are a few pics of her!

Jello is soooo yummy!!!

Nothing lately.....

I haven't posted in a couple weeks. I guess I have been a little busy. I am not to sure what with, just things I guess. We are all doing well though. Even the baby. We had an appointment today and things are doing just fine. It is still a boy and he is still growing like crazy.
Gerry and I had the stomach flu last week, but ever since then I have been eating like crazy. I don't know what it did to me, but I just can't get enough to eat this week. Maybe it is a good thing though. We will see. I do need to take some belly pictures though since I am showing now. It was almost an over night thing. I had a little bump, but nothing major and then all of a sudden it got big. We only have about 15 weeks left though. We have decided to name him Grant Alan Olds.
