My First Halloween!!!

Ty's First Halloween!!!

 He is the cutest little Giraffe we have ever seen!!!!

 First Halloween party as a little family

We had our annual halloween party and Jana and Graydon's this year.  It was a blast!!! He was such a trooper going to all the halloween parties and trick or treating.  He got lots of candy!!! (for mom and dad of course :) )

Baby Ty

Ty was born Oct 3, 2011 at 7:33 pm. He weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 18.5 inches long!

Come and Gone:(

So, today was our little guys due date but it has come and gone and he is not here yet. Our birth mom went to the doctor today and she is dilated to a 2. The doctor will not set a date to be induced until her next appointment next week. I hope he decides to come before her next appointment:) This waiting period is worse then doing infertility treatments and waiting those two weeks to find out if you are pregnant or not. Hopefully he will decide he wants to come soon!!!! We will keep everyone posted!!!!

Cuddle Bugs!!!

These two are my little cuddle bugs. I love holding them because they just love to cuddle. Last night I babysat for my sisters Jana and Katie. I had all seven of my nieces and nephews by myself. Are you impressed? I impressed myself. They actually were all really good. We started at my house and we played outside on the playground and then we walked over and got a snow cone. That was an adventure. Right when we got over there the wind starting blow like crazy. The older kids were nervous and Tatum wouldn't let me put her down and Bridger was crying in the stroller. It was crazy but we made it back to the house and everyone enjoyed their snow cones. Then the kids just played the xbox and computer. Anneka and Peyton were my little helpers with all the younger kids. I must say I have the best and cutest nieces and nephews ever:)

I had layed Bridger down after I got him to sleep because Tatum wanted me to hold her. After I layed Bridger down Tatum decided she wanted to lay next to him and sleep too. I love that she is closing her eyes pretending to be asleep like Bridger. She layed there for a few minutes and then decided she was done sleeping and got up to play more.

No More Night Shifts!!!!

A couple nights ago was my last night shift working as a night nurse. I am so excited to not be working nights anymore!!! I am sad to leave my night shift friends though. I have become so close to them and have loved working with them. It is a good thing that I will still be able to see them as we give report to each other and at staff meeting. We are going to have to be better about getting together outside of work. Anyway, I am excited for this new journey on days and getting back to a more normal life. Since I am moving to days it is a little different position. My home base is on pediatrics where I will be working most of the time (hopefully) but I also will be able to work mom/baby and NICU. I am so excited to learn the different areas. To be honest though mom/baby scares me the most. I don't know why because the mom and baby for the most part are healthy. I guess it is just because I am use to working with sick babies and kids. Anyway, I am excited to learn more in different areas of nursing and to be working during the day!!!

I know I am horrible at updating this blog. If you want to know what we are up to check out our adoption blog. I won't be updating this blog much since we have to do our adoption blog and I feel it is kind of pointless to post the same thing on both blogs. I will start to update this blog again once we have adopted our baby (whenever that may be) because at that point our adoption blog will become private just for our birth mom to see pictures. Anyway, until then check out our adoption blog for updates on what we are doing these days!!!

Party!!!!

Friday night Ronda threw a party for all her friends to meet her family. Her parents were in town from Texas. It was fun to meet all of her family. We always have so much fun with Ronda!!!

Tatum loves Cameron so much. She wanted him the whole night. At one point in time he gave her to me so he could get a drink and she got right off my lap and put her face in her hands and started crying. Her little heart was broken that Cameron gave her to me. She went right over to Cameron and grabbed his hand and led him outside to play. It is so fun to see them together and how much she loves him.

Wow I am so white compared to my mom and Ronda. Sorry if I am blinding you with my whiteness :)

Thanks for a fun party Ronda and for letting us meet your family!!!!
