Update on Audra

We are ready whenever she decides she is.
So this morning I had a doctors appointment and ultrasound. Audra is currently weighing in at 6.7lbs, which they say is a rough estimate and can vary a pound in either direction, this also puts her in the 71st percentile (smaller than Gavin he was in the 90th percentile). Her heartbeat is still nice and fast and her femurs are measuring at the length of an average 37 week old. Other than that I'm dialated to 1/2 a centimeter.
She is healthy and ready to make her debut hopefully sooner than later.

Well I have some catching up to do. First things first I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for my wonderful gifts and birthday messages and cards, it was a wonderful day. We spent the first part of my birthday in the car, on a trip to Southern California. Kevin had planned a game for us to play to guess what my birthday gift was, because he knows of my great love of games. Every hour and half of the trip I got another letter to the puzzle. After our lunch stop at MickyD's for Gav to run around and play, I had the letters pictured here. And all of a sudden it came to me, A NEW CAMERA!!!

My amazing husband had gotten the family all together to buy me a fabulous new camera for my birthday, one that I had wanted for a very long time. THANK YOU to everyone who helped with this, I am still amazed and in awe of my new toy. It will take some time to figure it all out, but I am quite excited to try.

One of my favorite things is that it takes pictures so quickly, that I can get every facial expression Gavin makes, and that's pretty quick because he is a speedy guy. Trying out the new camera for the first time. YEAH! Once we arrived in Riverside we got settled in the hotel and met up with Grandma & Grandad Holt and Nana & Gramps and Debbie. We relaxed in the hotel for a while before heading out to dinner.Uncle Nate & Auntie Mandy also joined us for a celebratory dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. It was a very fun evening.

This was Gavin's first experience at the Old Spaghetti Factory, can you tell you enjoyed it!

I think he actually more was enjoying being at the head of the table and having everyone's full attention!! That's Gavin's kind of night, all eyes on him.

Thank you again everyone for all the wonderful gifts and cards and birthday greetings, it was a great day!!!

Today Kevin's office threw a baby shower for Kevin and I and another couple who has a baby due to arrive a couple weeks ahead of Audra. It was a wonderful shower at the Troon Country Club with good food and fellowship and they all showered love and gifts on us. We are so blessed and so thankful for such wonderful, generous friends and coworkers.

Birthday Wishes

We want to wish Gramps a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

We wish we could be there to celebrate this special day with you, but look forward to seeing you in a week.

The Zoo

Yesterday Gavin and I went with some of our friends from MOPS to the zoo. It was a super windy day but Gavin loved watching all the other kids probably more than the animals

Pictures

Here are some pictures from the last week or so that I haven't gotten up on the blog.

We found these glasses when cleaning, getting ready for our move. He loved them.
Gavin was having a hard time getting them to stay up, but he did manage to get them on.

He also found this bucket. I turned around one evening and this is what I found. It was quite hillarious.

He is loving our new patio and being able to go outside whenever he wants.

First thing in the morning he is ready to go outside, even without any pants on.

And this is Gavin's new favorite place to watch tv.

One night when Pops was here we were working on putting child locks on all the cabinets and Gavin wanted to help.

So he layed down on the ground with Pops and Dad to help.

Walking in Dad's Footsteps

Yesterday I caught Gavin trying on Kevin's sandals. It was quite cute.
