Lauren's 2nd Birthday!

We had a fun little celebration for Lauren at Chuck E. Cheese on Friday night to celebrate her 2nd birthday. She had so much fun! We were driving home at around 10:00pm and she was still singing and dancing in her car seat all the way home! Here is a little slide show of her special day.

Getting back in the groove


Well, after a rough third trimester with my pregnancy, and the early birth of my son Ryan, I am finally getting back in the groove! I suffered from cholestasis of pregnancy and had issues with pre-term labor. I had three short hospital stays in the last few weeks because I was having contractions, so they put me on magnesium to stop labor. It was successful each time. I was induced at 35 weeks and delivered a healthy baby boy on September 3rd, 2007 at 7:39pm. He weighed 5lbs. 14oz. For being a preemie, he is doing great! He is about 7 weeks old now and I am finally getting the hang of having three kids. Doesn't that sound crazy? It's just more multi-tasking and more pre-planning to be productive on a day to day basis. Lauren and Eric are really starting to warm up to our new addition, and it's very rewarding to see them bond.
