Last month

Sorry for the lack of updates. I get so caught up on updating on Facebook I forget to post here. So let me catch up on the last month.

Arianna went in for dental work at the hospital a few weeks ago. She just had 6 cavities to fill but had to go the OR and be put completely under. :( She did really well before going back but afterwards was horrible. She freaked out and for some reason the nurse thought it would be better to wait 15 minutes to come and get me. I am SO upset about that. Here she is in her pre-op clothes...

Then Arianna finally had her 1st haircut ever! As you can see we only took a little bit off.

Then we have Easter which was alot of fun! We went to church and Arianna did an egg hunt with all the kids. Here she is with her friend Alyssa.

Then we went to my mom's for Easter lunch! Here is Arianna with her Grams and Nanny.

Then this past Sunday we had a "Baby Celebration" with our families! Basically, instead of the traditional baby shower we wanted to have a family BBQ. It was alot of fun but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. (Mom you'll have to send me the ones you took.)

Today we went in for our follow-up fetal echo and everything looked great! We have finally picked out a name for our little man...Devin Robert! As of 31 weeks he is already weighing 4 1/2 lbs..BIG BOY! It's crazy cause Arianna weighed 4lbs 13ozs at birth which was 36 weeks. I can guess we will be having an 8-9 lb'er. The cutest thing on ultrasound was to see his full head of hair. I had no idea they could see hair on ultrasound. If you look at the picture below you can see his spiky hair!

Well...I think that is just about everything this past month. I hope you all are doing well. Thanks for stopping in and checking on us!

This weekend we went out to watch the Thunderbirds (from a distance) and Arianna loved being outside! The airplanes were a little loud for her. (Wendy I was wishing I had those ear muffs you had for Emma.)

As you can see by the picture my baby girl is growing up SO fast. She is constantly amazing us with all the new things she does or says. She is definintly one smart little girl.

We are currently isolating her because her day in the OR is approaching for her dental work and we don't want her to get sick. I hate knowing she will be in the OR and under anesthesia but at least it's just for dental work. She is scheduled for March 30th at 2:30pm. Not sure how I will keep her from eating or drinking all morning. Why do they schedule things like this in the afternoon?!?

As far as my pregnancy goes..we are now 27 weeks!!! I can't believe I'll be in the 3rd trimester next week. Time is flying by. I have had a couple trips to L&D the past 3 weeks but nothing to keep me there. I was put on nifedipine to help with the contractions so I hope that helps. I was on this med with Arianna and it only worked so well. I'm only on modified bed rest so I just take my days as they come and try not to over do it. Some days are harder than others but thankfully I have friends and family that help when I really need it!!

Thanks for checking in on us. We love hearing from everyone that stops by!

Look what came in the mail..

We ordered this amazing bear from www.bummerbears.com called the "Mended Heart Bear." It has a zipper with a stiched up heart on it's chest. I absolutely fell in love with it when I saw it and had to order it for Arianna. She just got to open the box this afternoon and has not stopped playing with it since. We have officially named her, "Coco!"

Heart Buddies

Brendon & Arianna

I just love this picture so had to post it! Arianna is getting some good practice being a big sister. She absolutely loves baby Brendon. Check out all her jewelery..yes she wore it all day long!

Bowling

This morning we took an unexpected trip to the bowling alley! Arianna had a blast. I'm beginning to realize how grown up she is becoming when it comes to these kind of outtings. The other day at the zoo I took her stroller because she normally walks and then asks to be held. Not this time...she walked/ran the entire time. Then today she actually bowled her entire game when she used to only do about 5 frames and be done with it. I'm so excited about doing these fun things with her and look forward to doing many more. :)

Trip to the Zoo!

We took a trip to the zoo with another heart family. Arianna and Sydney had a blast!

Dentist Appointment

Today we went in for a follow-up dental appointment. Arianna is scheduled to go to the OR on March 30th for her cavities but we wanted to make sure nothing was getting worse in the meantime. Everything looked the same so that was a relief. Of course they will do xrays and see if anything else needs to be done while she is under anesthesia. I'm really dreading this but I know it needs to be done.

Tomorrow I'm taking Arianna to the zoo with another heart mom and her daughter so I'll have pictures to post then. It should be nice and in the 70's so I'm going to enjoy this weather while I can. :)
