Junes 2 month pics

It has been for ever!

So I am a total slacker! Its taken a while to get use to the whole two kids thing and I have neglected our blog...sad! Here is Junes birth announcement with a couple pics of her one month photo shoot. She is getting so big! She just smiled for the first time and cooed on the 27th of August. June is also sleeping til about 5:30 every morning. LOVE IT! She is also very alert and loves to watch what you are doing.

Avery loves being a big sister and helps me out a lot! She is starting back up with dance on Thursday and is so excited. She is also talking in way big sentences now and is really wanting to learn how to read. At bedtime I read her a book then she has a turn after wards to look through it. Last night she said, "mom I can't read this" so I pointed at the words and had her repeat them back to me and she thought she was so cool. She also has flashcards she loves to go through and her shape book. She can read the numbers 1-5 also. This girl is quite the smarty pants.

Some funny things Avery is saying right now...

. I love you long time Daddy
. I'm going to break you down!
. Mom its OUR song! (when it's not my name by the ting tings played on the radio)
. I think I need something
. What the....
. Oh my gosh!
. I can't believe this!

1 week old

Today June is one week old! I can't believe how fast this last week has gone. June is doing very well. Today they stopped the gavage feedings! Hurray! She still has the tub in until they know how well she will handle having all normal feeds. She also took her first bottle today and chugged it down within minutes. She sure likes to eat! She is also still maintaining her temp today; but is still not in an open crib (they don't want to do too much at once.) Tonight her nurse will be taking some blood :( to check her belly ruben levels and make sure they are staying low. Hopefully she has gained or maintained her weight today so she can come home soon!

baby update

So tonight I am blogging from our "boarding" room from the hospital. I will be sleeping her until June can come home so I dont have to drive back and forth every couple of hours. June is doing so good! Today we are doing 2 out of 3 feedings. The third is a gavage feeding through the feeding tube. Every gavage feeding June gets way mad about an hour later because she wants more food and wants to nurse. So they have finally upped the amount she gets. She is getting tested on how well she can keep her temp on her own and then she gets to sleep in an open crib. Today she was able to get out from under the jaundice lights which she has been under the last few days. She also got her PIC line out. (it is a type of IV) So she is really close to be able to come home. Today is the trial run on feedings and keeping her temp. She will be released when she can handle all her feedings from me or a bottle. (she still hasn't tried a bottle yet) If she does well tonight on her feedings tomorrow they will up them. So lets cross our fingers she will do well and she can come home in a couple days!

June update

Everyone this is crystal. still in the hospital but actually had a chance to sit down and update the blog! Having a nicu baby keeps you busy. well June is actually doing very well for being 5 weeks early. Avery was born at 33 weeks and I can't believe how much of a difference 2 weeks makes. She wont being coming home with me tomorrow; but is doing fine. She just has to be able to do certain things before she can come home. Today they took off the oxygen tube (the tube thingy that goes in your nose like in the movies.) Its a trial run but it has been off since five and she has being doing good. She is feeding well and they keep increasing her tube feedings by 2 cc's every feeding. I am also feeding her every six hours and she is doing amazing. June is still in a heated bed but it hardl;y has to adjust the temp at all. She will soon be moved to an open air crib and hopefully can keep her temp. As of now I think she will be able to come home soon even though they say preemies stay until their due date. We are also doing some foot stretches for her feet. they are turned inwards because she was cramped so much in my tummy. So every feeding she gets a foot massage. Lucky! Well hopefully that all makes sense since I am doped up on drugs at the moment. More to come!

ps thanks thompson fam for letting us borrow the labtop!!! Also for all the visits, phone calls, and comments. We appreciate all the love we have felt throughout this pregnancy! Oh and thank you thank you for all the help with Avery!

Cute New Pic

These were taken before all the tubes and stuff were put in. Her nose isn't all smashed in too! 

Baby June has arrived!

June Marie Hadlock was born this morning at 6:15 am by C section. She weighed 5.5 oz and measured 17.5 inches. Mom is fine and is looking forward to a full recovery! Baby is in the NICU but is doing great they are just monitoring her. Crystals water broke at her 11am Dr checkup on tuesday. So they sent her to Timp hospital where they started a patosin (spelling?) drip to make her have contractions but after around 18 hours or so of labor they decided to do a C section to deliver safely. Everything went well!  we look forward to getting her home and see how Avery does! 

34 weeks!

Yes I am officially farther along than I was when I had Avery by one week. CRAZY! I had a doctor appointment today and the baby is growing and healthy hurray. I am now dilated to 2 cm. So who knows when I will go into labor. They said in two weeks they wont try to stop it at all. I can't believe we are down the wire! Or that I made it this far. I remember the doctor not even knowing if I could carry this baby to viability. It is truly a miracle and I feel so blessed we are going to have a new sweet baby girl in our family. 

Good lil' Sleepers

So Avery went to her Aunt Lacie's on Monday for the day. She loves going over and playing with her cousins! We all know how bad of a sleeper Avery is. Right now were are trying to stay to a pretty stick schedule so we can get her sleeping through the night. Yes she is 2 and 1/2 and still wakes up at least once at night. It very brief and usually she will go right back to sleep if you check on her.  She has given up naps  most days but we still have consistent "quiet time" where she stays in her room for an hour and reads or she falls asleep. We never know if she will, even though you can see she really does need some daytime sleep.  Anyways by some miracle Lacie was able to get bother toddlers to fall asleep in the same bed. And these girl just don't fall asleep anywhere very easily. CRAZY! She got this cute picture of them. The crazy thing is they are sleeping so close and slept for like two hours that way! Thanks Lacie what a trooper!

Addicted

So Lately I have really wanted to get into digital scrapbooking all our many pictures that are just sitting on our computer. I was really overwhelmed and I still am for that matter because we have THOUSANDS of pictures that I have to go through.  Well I came across this really cute paper pack for FREE on the scrapbook website and got motivated!  I set up a comfy chair and a place to kick up my feet and spent a lot of the day scrapbooking away. I am now looking into buying My Memories Suite to make things a little easier. They have pre made templates that take minutes to finish instead of hours making your own in  Photoshop! HELLO I am definitely wanting that.
