Nolyn tried green beans for the 1st time

This was from a few weeks ago, but I love the face. It is priceless.

Not sure why I started with green beans, but it was not a favorite at first, but she loves them now.

I can't believe Nolyn is already eating food....she is growing up so fast!

Our happy little family.

SO much has happened...

It has been a crazy few months....hence the lapse in posts. We have moved back to Atlanta, Georiga. Chris was promoted within Diageo and now works at the regional office here. Nolyn is 5 months old and Raegan is 2 going on 10. We just had a great Halloween Night with the girls and are enjoying the warmer fall season. Our gamecocks are having a great season and looking to contend for the SEC title. I am so happy to be back south and hope we never leave!

My two girls!

Here are my girls that I am so in love with. Raegan is two (25 months) and Nolyn is 3 months (13 weeks). They are so cute and loveable and I am so so blessed! I love watching them together and can't wait to see their relationship grow over the years. God is great!

Nolyn 7 weeks old....and big sister too.

Raegan always is ready for her photo opp!

Am I really a mother of two little girls! Nolyn Lee Herron was born at 2:18pm on Monday May 24th 2010. She was 7lbs 14oz and 20 inches long. It was a wonderful labor and intense delivery (to say the least). The only thing to say is more power to the women who opt for a natural birth. My epidural did not work, and by the time the nursed believe me, yep it was too late and all natural it would be. WOW! I have never experienced such a crazy, intense time ever! Thank goodness I went from 7cm, to complete, to pushing, to Nolyn's arrival all within about 10 minutes. I maybe pushed 3 or 4 times. It was as Chris puts it, just like a movie scene. Nurse leaves to get doctor who is in middle of csection, I am now crowning and there is nobody in the room. He runs into the hallway yelling for help. The doctor made it in time, but only had enough time to put on gloves, no gown, or mask. Too funny. But she is here, and healthy and wonderful. Now time to begin our life as a family of 4. OH ME OH MY!

What might be a the last family photo of 3?!?!
38 weeks 2 days. Morning of ECV

So yesterday Chris and I went into Norwalk Hospital around 11am for the attempted Flip of Baby Deuce. The chances of success are actually not great. About 58% to most recent studies. My doctors were not even sure if they would attempt the ECV for me because of my high risk pregnancy and complications from my blood clotting disorder. But Praise God they did, and we successful. Deuce is no longer breech but in the head down "ready position." It was a little uncomfortable and a lot of pressure, but overall not nearly the pain I had thought it would be. It also took less then 30 seconds probably to actually flip the baby. me and baby had to be monitored about an hour before and afterwards to make sure we were okay, but the actually flipping took no time at all. It makes it seem a little like it never happened. I have to attempt yesterday, and still today I am struggling with not freaking out that Deuce will turn back heads up. My doctor didn't give any actual numbers but according to my Internet research only about 4% turn back, but for some reason I can't shake the thought in my mind. So I am continuing to say my prayers that s/he stays down and we have a baby here soon. I am set for an induction on Monday the 24th, so just about 4 days from now. But baby can come anytime s/he wants! I am ready!

Me and my little bear.

I am uploading these pictures of me and my first little baby girl! She is almost 21 and half months old! I can't believe she will be turning 2 in July. I want to cherish these last few weeks here before baby deuce is born knowing this is my last time with her as my only child. I fear (like most moms having a second child I think) on how I am going to love a second one as much as I love Raegan. And how I want to be fair to each child and give them the love and attention they both will need and deserve. I think Raegan is going to be such a good big sister, but I also know it is going to change her world forever. I get a little sad sometimes thinking that when we have this one, I am some how taking away some of her "babyness" and forcing her to grow up. Or maybe this is just all pregnancy hormones acting up.

On updates for Raegan...she has gotten 4 teeth in the past month, so it has been crazy to say the least. She has 3 new molars and one new lower front right tooth. She is still way "behind" the norm but catching up quickly. She also has an allergen induced asthmatic bronchitis. She was coughing for several weeks, but had no fever and no other sick symptoms, but I took her to the doctor and never expected to hear my little girl was so sick. She is on 2 inhaler medications and will be rechecked next week. She is still a little go getter and full of energy. With the nice weather she spends as much time outside as she can. Her two favorite outdoor activities are playing in the sandbox and ....collecting rocks. Yep she collects rocks passes them out to us...or piles them up.....and then usually returns them to various spots in the yard. Too funny. She enjoys coloring and is starting to get the idea that we only color on paper....thank goodness crayons wash off easily. She also loves doing anything mommy and daddy too, and helping us with cooking, cleaning, and putting things away. She is also very into her baby dolls and playing pretend mommy with them. She has started taking them with her everywhere we go, the gym, the store, on walks, to bath, you name it and baby comes along. I hope she is this excited when Deuce arrives.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the spring weather!
