Happy Birthday Hannah Grace!

My baby sister arrived on Sunday May 2, 2010 at 2:53 pm! She is perfect! Her name is Hannah Grace and her stats are:
Birth weight: 5 pounds 13 ounces
Birth height: 19 1/2 inches long
Nana was staying with us and mommy woke up early in the morning and thought her water broke (I guess that is a bag of water that is around the baby in the tummy) so her and daddy went to the hospital. It did in fact break and so mommy was had to stay there. When I woke up, I came downstairs and Nana told me that my baby sister was going to be born today and my eyes got really big and I told her I wasn't ready cause I needed to practice changing diapers more. Here are some pictures of my sister, Hannah Grace. Happy Birthday!

Home Stretch!

Well everyone, we are in the home stretch. 29 days and counting! That means that I am almost done with school for the summer and will be a 2nd grader in the fall. So many changes. We still have a bit to do before my baby sister arrives, including getting the crib together, baby registering, cleaning and putting away clothes, and maybe we should take the carseat and stroller out of the box and get that ready too! I can't wait to be a big sister, but also a bit nervous. I told mommy that I don't know how well I will change diapers and she reassured me that I will be the diaper runner, that my sister will be fragile when she is born. I get to go to a Big Helper class at the clinic May 10th and they will inform us big siblings how we can be a big help. I am pretty excited! That is all I have for now. Mommy is thinking about having maternity pictures done and if she does we will post some! Otherwise I will get a belly picture to post! Until next time,
XOXO

3 years ago...

If roses grow in Heaven Lord Please pick a bunch for us. Place them in my Great Grandma's arms and tell her they're from us. Tell her We love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, We do it everyday, But there is an ache within our hearts that will never go away.

Great Grandma LaVerne passed away 3 years ago today. We miss her dearly, will never forget her, and always love her. Bless her as she takes care of God's garden.

Cheer Camp

In February I went to the MSUM Cheer Camp again. I love it so much. We spend a few hours of the day practicing and playing games and then perform for everyone at half time of a basketball game. I can't wait until next year and maybe Lucie will be able to come with!

7th Birthday Party

Here are some pictures from my 7th birthday party! It turned out to be a great success with a few injuries and one friend leaving cause he didn't feel well. Lucie, Sam, Devin, Madison, Keyana, Hailey O., Brody, and Uncle Scott (with Sam) came swimming. Nana, Papa, Auntie Alicia, Uncle Aaron were also there but did not swim. Thanks for all the great presents and fun! Thanks to my parents for a wonderful party! :)

PS Birthday party pics to come

Birthday party postponed

I got sent home from school with a 101.4 temp yesterday and my party was suppose to be this afternoon. Mommy changed it until next week, as my temp kept crawling up. I was upset at first, but I don't think I would be able to enjoy my party and I don't want to get my friends sick. So I am still waiting to have my party! :(

22 weeks

My mommy is at 22 weeks today. This morning we were laying in bed watching TV and mommy put my hand on her tummy and I could feel my baby sister kicking! It was so cool! :o) The camera battery is charging and then we will take a 22 week picture to post.
One week from today is my birthday party and I can hardly wait. I sure hope my friends show up, since no one has called or emailed my mommy to let her know.
It is storming here, so we are staying in and mommy is hoping to get organizing done! LOL

Birthday countdown

20 weeks down, 20 to go!

Mommy's tummy is growing and we have now reached the half way mark to meeting my baby sister! 20 more weeks seems like a long wait, but mommy said hopefully it will go by fast!
Also, it is my birthday in 18 days! I am going to be 7 years old. I am having a few friends from school and some cousins come swimming with me at a hotel. I am very excited!

It's a...

Mommy had her ultrasound today and called to tell me (cause I am at Nana and Papa's) I am having a baby sister! I said "but I wanted a baby brother", however I was very excited when we went to Nana's work to tell her! Mommy sent me these pictures. She said my baby sister weighs about 8 ounces and is measuring right on! They are hard to make out, but it is what we can do without a scanner!

Christmas Party

We had our annual Christmas party with Nick, Amanda, and Bella. Sadly, MaryAnn was not feeling well, so her and Ron did not make it. Mommy and I had a great time. We ate pizza, opened presents, and watched My Little Pony. Thanks for a great time!

Christmas is coming!

Christmas is coming and I am getting so very excited! Mommy still has to get shopping done, but she said not to worry it will get done. My wish list is a Barbie Camper, some new bedding, and the newest Hannah Montana CD.
My mommy's tummy is still growing. I like to take pictures of her tummy and maybe she will let me post one soon! She has her ultrasound appointment on December 28th and hopefully I will find out if I am going to have a baby brother or sister. I want a baby sister, but a brother will do. Make sure you go to expectnet.com and make your guesses before mommy stops it and I announce what we will be having!
I will be spending my annual week after Christmas with Nana and Papa. Papa has the entire week off, so I am going to wear him right out! :) He is going to take me sledding and keep me very busy, I am sure.
Mommy and I will be leaving Wednesday sometime, while daddy will come Thursday after he gets off work at noon. He sadly has to work the day after Christmas too, so he will only be able to stay 1 night at Nana and Papa's.
Hopefully I can convince mommy to post a belly picture, so until then...Merry Christmas to all my blogger friends and save travels to those who will be on the roads.

Take a guess

Mommy setup where everyone can go online to guess if I will be having a baby sister or brother, when it will be born, how big it will be, etc...
All you have to do is go to www.expectnet.com There will be a spot on the top left side that says "Invited Guests" and you will have to enter a game name which is babyswaney. Good luck everyone!

Here it is...

Well, it sounds like people are receiving their Christmas cards, so mommy and I are doing a quick update. Here are a couple pictures for now and on the side you will see the countdown to me becoming a big sister! I can hardly wait! Stay tuned for WAY more!
