checkup day!

tiara went in for her 2 month check up and shots today. she is already 15 lbs. 11 oz.! but she is healthy. she has grown 2 inches already! mom got her an exersaucer the other day and she loves it! she loves to be able to sit up and look around at what all is going on! i just cant believe how fast all the kids are growing up!

updates!

tiara is now 7 weeks old. we took her to the doctor a couple weeks ago for congestion and she already weighed 13 lbs. 4 oz. so she is a big baby but she is long enough not to be too chubby! she is very alert and we finally got a handle on her colic. we are on the 3rd formula try which is finally working. it is designed for colic and food allergies. i'm getting ready - only because i have to lol- to go back to work the 29th. larry will be here with the girls so it will be fine. he watched them both all day yesterday while i helped his sister with her house. they did fine! shaelee is out of school for this year so she is a first grader now. i can't believe how the time has flown by! she is a big girl and loves to help with her baby sister. we had her little graduation on the 7th and it was really awesome. she is really proud of herself as are we.

a few more baby pics.

she's finally here!!!

after 22 hours of very hard labor ---tiara june frazier born april 3rd, 2009 at 7:03 a.m. in poteau, oklahoma! 9 pounds 10.1 ounces, 22 1/2 inches long, head - 10 cm, body 14 1/2 cm. very alert and already seems to be a happy baby! she is so wonderful just like her big sister and shaelee is doing great with her already! will post pictures soon! love, mill

yay!!!

well, tomorrow is the day! i will be 4 days overdue but i will go in at 8 am to be induced. i am relieved and excited!

!!!!

i'm getting excited but frustrated. i am due tomorrow. doc changed it back to 29th which is fine but it's about the 4th time he's changed it back and forth from the 20th. if nothing happens by tomorrow i go back to doctor monday at 2. hopefully he can tell me something then. it has been quite frustrating trying to keep work informed and make sure i didnt mess up my time off by taking off early when they were going to induce before but work has been very good to me and they already have me all set up for before my maternity leave actually kicks in so for that i am grateful. now just praying for the patience to stick it out until she is ready to be here. but that has been very hard the last couple of days. i am so big i dont think i have any more growing room left- lol! just trying to stay as comfortable as possible. anyway, cant wait to see everyone. love all- mill

baby on the way soon!

well, i have been blessed to get to spend a few days with mommy. big thank you to john for driving down with her so she could come visit this way. although the baby was not ready to show up while she was here, it will be very soon. mom said it looked like i have dropped even further just in the last couple days and i have have much pressure and uncomfort in my lower back region especially. if nothing happens by tuesday, i go back to the doctor then, and if i am close enough, he has talked about inducing so hopefully by early next week she will be here if not in the next day or so. i can say that i am beyond ready, lol!!! but very excited. and i cant wait to see everyone next month. i think i will spend that last week in april in amarillo. so anyway, down to the wire... everyone will get phone calls from the hospital as we find out everything!! love you all and miss you! mill

getting closer!

went to the doctor yesterday. everything is still looking good and on schedule. i got my strep b test done and the nurse practitioner said my cervix is softening. i have had some contractions but nothing close to labor yet. i still feel pretty good though. anyway, we are getting ready. cant wait to see everyone and have some time off with my family and my babies! love you all, will write more soon!

baby update

to answer ginger's question of what i still need.... the diaper pail will be great. still need one of those. the rest is little stuff. like a kit with the thermometer and all that in it. i havent gotten that yet. also i still need a baby book. i have been planning to get this stuff but havent been able to yet. we got our taxes back and got all caught up and then the chics we bought our car from messed us over and did not pay it off. we had to go and pay $400 so we could get the title. long story short. any way it is now officially ours. after 3 months and lesson learned. dont ever buy anything without the title in hand. then the power steering pump broke. larry fixing at this minute.. lol! needless to say we have had a fun couple of days. everything else is going fine except i am hoping i will not deliver to soon before my due date or that something will work out that my 6 weeks off will still be when cathy is here and reunion time and all that. if not, wednesday, when i go back to work, i am talking to my boss and making sure to get that weekend off at least. he is very understanding and it should all work out should i deliver more than a couple weeks early. i have 5 wees left but i am so huge! at 39 centimeters they are saying she is still looking like a good sized baby. i am expecting another 8 pounder!!! anyway, it is in God's hands and He will let it work out how it is supposed to so i have given up all my worries. will write more soon- love you all!

doing better!

went to the doctor again on thursday and he said i am doing better so far. my blood pressure was normal. i have 5 weeks to go and will see him every week now. my coworkers threw me a shower on tuesday which was very thoughtful and nice. i got a monitor and lots of clothes and such. so i just keep moving more while at work to keep my circulation going and i take my baby aspirin at night and rest on my left side and so far that is working. shaelee is helping me get everything ready. i think she will be a great big sister. she is also excited about her 6 loose teeth (and no cavities!) which will bring the tooth fairy very soon! anyway, i love you all and will post more soon and ill try to post some pics as soon as i can get around to that!

new news

well i went to the doctor again yesterday. it is now time for weekly visits. he says i am running about a centimeter or week sooner than my due date. so i have about 6 weeks or so. tuesday my coworkers are throwing me a baby shower so i am kind of excited for that. other than that i have to slow down a little. my doctor said i am "flirting" with preeclampsia. i am having a hard time with my top blood pressure number. so i have to take baby aspirin at night and sleep on my left side and stand up more while i am at work. so between this and my iron, i am trying to keep healthy so as not to have to take off work early. other than that everything seems to be going okay. love you all! will post more soon!

baby countdown

well, i have about 9 weeks left to go. we are getting very excited and getting everything prepared. so far everything has gone well. my iron does get a little low every so often so i have to watch that and poor larry has to deal with all my emotions which i must say i have a lot of. i feel like i am having a little harder time with that this go round. but i am thankful for a good bill of health this time. anyway, i must go for now. cant wait to see everyone! love you all, mill
