Welcome, Andrew Daniel Trott

Andrew Daniel joined our family today at 12:05 pm. He was 7 pounds 2 ounces and 18 inches long (however, I think he was actually longer than this).

Mom and baby are doing well. Since Andrew came a bit early, he is being observed overnight until all of the fluid is off of his lungs. Photos to come shortly!

FREE AT LAST!

Today I went to the doctor. I am officially 36 weeks and in the safe zone! The doctor took me off bed rest and medications! Yippee!!! Now Andrew can come whenever he wants! We celebrated with a donut run, of course(an apple fritter was calling my name!), a trip to Hobby Lobby to get some finishing touches for the nursery and then went out to lunch with Lauren, Gran-D, Miss Sarah and Daddy Aaron! I must admit I am not use to the heat and being on my feet so I think Lauren and I are going to take a big nap this afternoon! Thanks for all your prayers, especially the ones for patience and perseverance.... we made it!

Bags packed and just waiting now!

Andrew's baby Shower

On Saturday I was showered with love by my friends and family. It was super special and such a breathe of fresh air from bedrest!

Walking on sunshine!

Lauren and her daddy entertain mama while she is on bedrest! She has almost perfected her "Zoolander" look at the very end of the video....

Lauren is Crawling!

After many months of combat crawling, Lauren has now gone to all fours! We are elated!

Our dull and boring pregnancy taken a little twist!

Greetings All!

Well, yesterday our boring pregnancy got a little exciting! I started into active labor and went to the Er @6:00 pm. They were able to stop the contractions, however I am dilated to 3 cm, and only 32 weeks along. Therefore, I am now having to go on complete bed rest! Funtimes- for one who can't even sit still during a 30 minute sit-com. If anyone has a hankering to hang with a very fun little 17 month old- we would be willing to hook you up! Please pray baby boy Trott stays put for a least 5 more weeks!!!

We'll keep you posted!
