AND

AWAKE!!!

And me???? Awake with Baby Abby ~ fun stuff

Yesterday . . .

was a BIG day!!! I started working as a full-time babysitter to Julie's two youngest kids!! It was a fun and busy day for me.

But wait ~ there's more, much more!!!

Jere has been outta work since Halloween and been searching frantically. He got TWO jobs yesterday ~ that's right TWO!!! They will work together ~ his morning job will be at Conroe Hospital in the food service area. His night job will be delivering pizzas to hungry folks for Papa John's a few nights a week!!!

Then . . . . . . . . .

Our lease is up in our apartment and we were going to renew it. BUT my Granny has a house that's been on the market for about a year. She moved into a retirement home and has been trying to sell her house all this time with no action. It was my mom's boyfriend's idea for us to see if we could rent her house. SO I asked her yesterday AND (drum roll please!!) she said we could move in for what we are paying for our apartment!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO we are moving into a house over the next three weeks!!!! The house is three bedrooms and three bathrooms!!! It is so big that we might not use half of it!!!

We are so grateful and praising the Lord for the blessings of yesterday!! He is sooooo good and takes care of us!!

I have relief

I know my niece's name now!!! Her name is Meara Bell!! I like it a lot and I feel better knowing her name now!!! Josh and Shannon are very different than Jere and me ~ we already have our future other children named!!! Rachie was named about two or three years ago!!!! Happy day!!!!

Daddy's Girl

Jere is the BEST Daddy on the planet!! He loves his girl sooooooo much!! He is forever taking pictueres of her!! It's so beautiful!!!

My little sumo

We are in the top position VERY often during the day!!! Can you tell???

We have a new Pete

Josh and Shannon had their baby yesterday!!! She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 20 in long!!! Josh delivered her!!!! Check his blog for the full story and other updates ~ http://josharoo.blogspot.com/

They have not named her yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going bonkers about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Name that beautiful baby and tell her Aunt Mere Pete ~ Promise I won't tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call me a super hero

Rachie is 7 weeks old today!!! Last Wednesday we went to my 6 week check up at Nativiti. Rachie weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces!!! I feel like a super hero ~ I'm solely nursing her!!!

When she was born she was 7 pounds, a week later she was 6 pounds. My pedi was concerned about her weight at that point. The next week (when she was 2 weeks old) she weighed 6 lbs 15 oz. Two weeks later (a month old) she was 8 lbs 4.5 oz. My pedi was no longer concerned about her weight and called Rachie Ms. Piggy!! Then she was 10 lbs with clothes at 6 weeks!!!

So like I said, I have reached super hero status. But I really am humbled by it ~ I prayed throughout my pregnancy about being able to nurse successfully!!! God has truly blessed me and answered my prayers!!!! I have had NO problems at all!! Thanks Jesus!!! This Mommy LOVES taking care of her baby and hubby!!! Life is truly good ~ I really got the BEST!!! Jesus, Jere, and Rachie ~ that's what its all about for Mommy Mere Pete!!!!

Today

"This is nice!! Thanks, Mommy!!"

"I don't want to be cute right now!!!"

Rachel is getting into a schedule sorta. She gets up somewhere between 7 and 9 am. Plays for a couple of hours, eats again, and falls back asleep after about twoish hours. It gets bad when she's been up for more than three hours. She is tired and fights going back to sleep (WHY do babies do that??????) Well, today, she woke up at 8ish and played til about 10:30ish then got cranky. It took me until 11 to get her back to sleep.

Here are some picts from today. My baby is the cutest ever!!! Praise God for her!!!
