Our New Addition


This is our beautiful baby boy, Christopher Gatlin Albert Lewis. He was welcomed into the world on our Anniversary, which was April 21, 2009. He was born at 3:28 in the afternoon, and has been such a great baby. He weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs and 11 ounces and was 21 inches long. We had to stay in the hospital a couple of days with him because of John dis, but we were finally able to bring him home late Friday night. He was born at 36 weeks so he was a little early, but thankful everything is in check. We did have a rough start with eating, but he sure is catching on.
Our beautiful daughter was so blessed to be watched by family members and friends and I especially want to thank "Jor and Momma" for watching her and taking her on a shopping spree to get some new clothes for the summer. She really enjoyed visiting Grandpa and Grandma Daley, and had lots of fun with them. Thanks also to my Sweet Mother and Father and of Course our "Fantastic Friends" my sister Mindy's family for watching her.
It has been a long journey to get this far with this lovely child, but am so grateful for the opportunity that we have to have him in our home, he truly is a special child.
Well we love everyone, and hope that you can all come and see our new addition soon.

"HOPPY EASTER"

So this is Daya playing in Uncle Randall's tail water from the field by Aunt Kathy's house. She loves to go with her dad and help water the fields. She is a true farm girl!!!
This is Daya helping Katelynn frost cookies as you can see she though she needed to put her whole hand in the frosting. They sure were ummy cookies!!!!


This one is Daya hunting Easter eggs at the ward party. This year it got moved to the church, it was still lots of fun for her, even if the weather wasn't quite what it could have been!!! Oh, well she collected three eggs, two filled with candy and then one hard boiled egg. We put that one back in the carton for someone to take home!!!


This is our pretty Easter Dress that the Easter Bunny left us, along with some cute sandals that were a little bit big, but they matched perfect for the dress!!!


So this is what we have been up to lately, going and going! We got checked by the Dr. on Thursday, and he measured me and we are measuring 38 weeks, even though they are thinking that we are supposed to be 35 weeks!!! So this next Thursday (if we last that long) we will have an ultra sound and see how much he weighs and what weeks we will really be at. The reason I say if we last that long is because we are on a TRIBUTALINE pump, anyone that is pregnant might know something about this, this is something that helps settle down the contractions in your uterus. So I have been on this stuff for two weeks! It really makes you jittery and unsettled, it's not that fun to be on. So hopefully Thursday will be our last day on this stuff! So keep us in your prayers as we are getting closer and closer!

We love everyone and miss everyone and hope that everyone had a "HOPPY EASTER"!!!!

Hopscotch with Cousins

This would be Daya playing hopscotch with her "fantastic friends" my sister Mindy's children. She loves to do anything that they are doing. You can see in the video that she is trying really hard to jump. She has only mastered this one time and that was when she was mad and upset because she was told "NO".

Update





This would be my newest hairstyle for my daughter. It doesn't seem to take me more than a couple of minutes, but she puts up with it for now. She also loves to play in any cupboard and tub as you can see. I just thought I would upload a few new photos.

My status is, I am doing okay, I really have to watch what I do because it can send me into a whirl wind. They do have me on a pump that I have to wear everyday all day long, it helps but at the same time it is quite annoying. I am also not good at sticking the needle in, so my helpful husband has to do it for me. I just can't do it, I don't know why it just freaks me out.
