Survived!

We have officially survived the first 2 weeks! I definitely see that as an accomplishment, but I feel like it should have already been a month at least. Tucker was super sick a week and a half ago, probably the sickest he has ever been in his life, poor little guy. The Dr. was worried he had pnuemonia and he had to get x-rays and tests done, but luckily it turned out to just be nasty cold/cough/fever all put together. He is finally healthy again and it is relief! Halle is doing great, she had her 2 week appt. on Monday and is definitely gaining weight. She already has a little double chin. Her stats:

Weight: 7.9 lbs 35%

Length: 20.5 in 53%

Head: 14.3 in 53%

I'm getting used to always being slightly tired and Tucker is adjusting to having Halle around. He likes to drive cars on her stomach and is always happy to share his bear and monkey with her. He sometimes says, "Mama, put Halle down!" when he wants something, but in general he doesn't seem to mind having her around. We had my mom here for about a week and half, which was a big help and we were very sad to see her go. Sheldon also had a week off of work, which was too much fun. The first day Sheldon had to go back to work, Tucker saw him getting dressed up for work and realized where he was going. He started screaming, "Pants off, pants off!" Here are some random pictures from the past 2 weeks.

I never thought of Tucker as big, but now next to Halle he just seems huge!

Who needs a double stroller? Tucker can just hold Halle on his lap ;)

A picture of Tucker when he was sick. He would lay on Sheldon and watch TV while Sheldon would read.

Halle in her old man pants, because they are too big they come up really high on her.

the wait is over...

Halle Jo Mills has arrived!

Born February 5, 2011 at 2:52 am.

7 lbs 1 0z (bigger than tucker was!) 19 in

She is healthy and has already stolen our hearts.

One of my favorite pictures, Tucker and Halle. Tucker has been having fun with Grandma Mills while we have been at the hospital. We have missed him, but we are very grateful that Grandma Mills could take care of him. It will be cute to see him interact more with Halle.

still waiting...

It'll be so fun to post pictures of 2 cute kids on this blog, but Tucker is pretty cute on his own. We took a few pictures one morning before church in his suit. I'm loving this phase where he will pose and say cheese.

We have had some freezing cold weather this week and have been desperate to get out and have some fun. We went to the pool this week with Avery. The water seemed a little cold this time, so we didn't stay for very long and I did not take very many pictures, but 2 pictures for proof that we went!

Tucker didn't seem that tired when we got home, but yet again he fell asleep while eating his lunch. I promise I don't leave my child alone forever in his high chair, I just went to change and he was totally out when I came back. He did not wake up even when I wiped his face off and moved him to his crib.

Still preggo and nothing exciting to report! Just in case you are wondering my due date is Feb. 13 and I was one day early with Tucker so I will probably be pretty on time. I think baby girl is like me and waiting for some warmer weather before she makes her appearance.
