Ouch!

Last night when Valerie came down the stairs after lightly bumping her head on a chair, this is what we saw. . .

Needless to say Caleb and I had a great laugh. Valerie on the other had was so proud that she was able to put the band-aid on "All by myself".

Henry Max Tracy

Here are a few of the pictures of the newest member of our family, Henry Max Tracy.  He was born December 3, 2009 at 1:51pm and weighed 8lb even and was 21 inches long.  He is doing GREAT! He has 10 perfect toes and fingers on long skinny feet and hands, and has lots of hair that is tinted red.  As soon as we are home we will post the details, but for now here are the pictures we have so far.  Enjoy!!!

Our Little Princess

For Halloween Valerie wanted to be Princess Aurora (a.k.a Sleeping Beauty).  She got her wish, not only once but 3 times due to all the parties we went to.  She loved dressing up, putting on the makeup and having her hair fixed. But if I had to guess her most favorite part was trick-o-treating. She had a blast running from door to door until she told Caleb she was to tired to walk any more, which only took 1 1/2 hours for her to tucker out.

Eight More Weeks?!

For all you curious people out there here is a prego picture of me. In this picture I am 32 weeks or 8 months.  I only have 8 more weeks until my due date and boy does that seem like it won’t come fast enough.  I remember when I was pregnant with Valerie my mom told me I would get to the point where I was so miserable giving birth sounded like a great option.  I never really got to that point with her, but with this kid I am beginning to understand what she means.  At 29 weeks I had another routine ultra sound.  As the ultra sound tech was doing her measurements she asked me if I had passed my glucose test, I said yes and then she asked if I passed it on the first try and again I said yes.  I had to laugh because I knew even before the ultra sound that this little boy was a bigger baby than normal.  First off I knew this because he has been constantly measuring 2 weeks ahead for the past couple months.  Secondly, I can feel his head as far down as he can go and his legs are still in my lungs and rib cage, or as the Dr puts it, “You have a long torso and this little boy takes up all the room!”  When ultra sound tech was done she said he was measuring about 2 weeks ahead (which we already knew) and that he weighed at that point of time about 3 1/2lbs, which is what a normal baby at 32 weeks weighs. So we know for sure he is going to be bigger than his sister.  Oh well, at least he is healthy and in reality 8 weeks really isn’t that far away, that is unless you are pregnant. . . ha ha ha.
