In Transit

I thought I would put up a post before we leave for Gilbert. We should have Internet by Wed., but you know how that goes!

Miss Charlie has quickly become the funniest person in our household! Every day she is growing bigger and stronger and needs to be carefully watched. She has been trying to squirm out of everything. Her swing, the diaper changer, my arms, etc. She is a super active baby which is a good thing, just hard to keep up with! Our friend Claudia watched her for us on Saturday while I worked (Jordan was on a road trip) and introduced her to Baby Einstein! Charlie LOVED it! We just put her on the floor and start the dvd and she is entertained for 30 min. It really keeps her attention (more than Jersey Shore) and I don't feel guilty having her watch TV.

She is sleeping pretty well at night. Not through the night yet, but usually for a 3 hour stretch/eat/4 more hours...I'll take it! I am no longer breastfeeding...When I went back to work my supply went way down because I could not pump during the day, so I decided about three weeks ago we would be done. I'm fine with it, she's fine with it! She is now 3.5 months old and around 10 pounds --- BIG girl!

We area anxious and excited about the next chapter in our lives and would appreciate any prayers for safe travels and a peaceful transition! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL!!

Busy Weekend

Nothing but smiles from Charlie these days! 3 months old!!

I am taking the opportunity to GET RID OF CRAP since we are moving

Until Jordan's replacement is named, he is covering the first games of the hockey season. This weekend took him to Rapid City, SD so Charlie and I had to entertain ourselves! We went to game night at Darlene's house on Saturday and then had dinner with Claudia and Caroline last night! It was a super busy weekend, one that makes me sad to be leaving our friends. This is going to be a rough week of "see-ya-laters" ...

Change...Should be our middle name

Long story short...

Jordan was offered great j.o.b. We're going to take it.

We are moving to Gilbert, AZ.

Jordan will work for Stretch Internet.

This will be our home. (hopefully)

It will be hotter than H.E.doublehockeysticks.

He's pumped! I'm pumped (he won't be traveling)! Charlie is double pumped!

Kristin + Charlie

Meeting for the first time
Shane and Kristin ... totally adorable!

Love her!

Good old Cracker Barrel!

Char's new party trick.

Charlie and Daddy

We had such a wonderful weekend with one of my dearest friends, Kristin. She flew in from ATL to visit her main squeeze Shane, and meet Charlie for the first time. She was the very first person Jordan and I told when we thought we might be pregnant, so she holds a special place in our hearts. We had breakfast and dinner with her on Saturday and it was in no way enough time. Needless to say, she and Charlie hit it off!

Happy Birthday

I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my gorgeous cousin Lindsey! May you have the best birthday yet! The three of us (and wallace) sure love you and miss you.

Charlie does NOT feel good.

Poor thing has slept almost all afternoon except to wake up and remember how crummy she feels. Feel better soon, little peanut.

2 Month Check-Up

Mama and Charlie before the dreaded appt.

(Ouch!)

Today Grammie and I took Charlie to her 2 month check-up! She is now 8.5 pounds and 21 inches long (25th percentile for both). She had to get two shots and another vaccine orally. Right before the nurse came in to administer the shots I told my mom that I really didn't think I was going to cry. Needless to say, I was wrong. The poor baby's cry was so sad to hear and she just looked up at me like, "how could you let this happen?". We gave her some infant tylenol and now she is mostly just sleepy.


Speaking of sleep - Charlie had the best night of sleep last night. 10:00pm-3:45 am and then from 4:30 am- 7:00 am. I could not believe it. Charlie is not always a predictable sleeper so last night was Heaven! As she gets older and bigger I think she is figuring things out a little more, and eating and sleeping is getting better for all of us!


I went back to work yesterday which was a little rough. Luckily she was home with her Grammie, so I wasn't worried about them at all. I think I was just sad that our special mama and Charlie time was over and we won't have that kind of undivided time together again. It was just sad, but it got better as the day went on! Let's see how I do next week when I leave her with the sitter ;)
