Tommorrow is the BIG DAY!!!!

I just wanted to give you all an update and let you know that your thoughts and prayers would be GREATLY appreciated over the next few weeks. Tommy and I have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 5:30 A.M. but of course you know for us that means waking up quite a bit earlier to get there at that time especially since Tommy says he wants coffee! :) ... (I know...some of you probably didn't even know that time existed twice in one day:):):) He he he...) But yeah, we have to be at the hospital before the shift change to get situated. The c-section is actually scheduled for 8:30. So unless something happens between now and then, that is the plan! I am also EXTREMELY nervous about this one considering I've had so much time to think about it, so I could use prayers there as well!!!! We will be at UC Davis again. I am told that we will have to be there a minimum of 4 days, so potentially we will be there until Friday! I'm hoping to get the blog updated quickly...but we'll see:)
The real kicker is that Tommy has a 3-5 day trial in SF starting 3/16 (yes just a week after we get out of the hospital!). So luckily my mother-in-law will be staying with me that whole week, but prayers for Tommy during that stretch would be greatly appreciated! I know he's going to have a hard time being away from Lexi and his newborn... and I'm sure me too!!!! :) But not to mention the stress of trial, and the distance, only compounds it!!!! Once that's over we should be good:) Just kidding...prayers are always welcomed!
Thank you to all!!!!! We are so blessed to have so many friends and family that are so supportive of us! And we are so thankful for that!!!! Take care and you'll be hearing from us soon!!!!

Much Love and Blessings from us!!!!!

Happy Belated Valentines Day & Update on us

*** OH I WENT ON A BLOGGING FRENZY SO THIS IS 1 OF 5 IN THE PAST FEW DAYS SO PLEASE SEE ALL BELOW!***

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day and a nice long weekend! And here are a few pictures that my WONDERFUL friend Deanna took of Lexi and I yesterday:) Luckily Lex was in a much better mood than the last time we took pictures:) Enjoy! Thank you Deanna you always do such an amazing job!!!!
Just an update that I'm now less than 2 weeks away from my scheduled c-section (3/3/09). I'm hoping to post at least once before then, but the way my days, or should I say weeks and months, have been going I'm preparing that I may not be able to! But I just wanted to ask that you keep us in your prayers as I'm a little nervous about not only the transition with Lexi but going "under the knife" again. I think the anticiaption of knowing is almost more scary to me than how it happened last time! Also, Tommy is currently set for a 3-day trial 3/16 in SF that looks like it's going to happen, so I'm a little worried about that as well... as is Tommy!!!! Anyhow, I would greatly appreciate it:) Thanks to all!!!!
If this time is anything like last time I'm sure Tommy will take lots of pictures and post soon after the baby gets here:) If not pictures, I'll at least have him post name, time and stats:) Until then... (but again, only if I don't get another post in before then!)

Lexi loving her baby sister:)
So sweet:)
Lexi and her adorable smile that she only gives to Deanna when she's behind the camera:) Sure I see this smile all of the time (yes it melts my heart!) but I never get it when the camera is out:):) Deanna has the touch!

2nd and 3rd Christmas'

This year Devin came down after everyone had left but we had an awesome time with him too! His buddies from the court hung out with us the whole time he was here and it was a lot of fun! Then that weekend, after New Year's, my parents came down for our 3rd Christmas!!!! Mind you we celebrated our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN THERE TOO!!! Without getting too sentimental I can't believe how fast the time has flown and what a lucky person I am to be married to my husband. We celebrated a little early and went out to dinner which was a lot of fun and something we don't get to do very often by ourselves! I love you Tommy and can't wait for the many years to come!!! Here are some of my favorites from that week:)
Here is Lexi playing with Devin (Bubba).
Here she is going down the slide again, she LOVES it:)
Strike a pose:)
Then Bubba took her down the big slide. This made her very happy:) Later he asked "who wants to slide down with Bubba?" And Lexi replied "Me!!!!" It was the craziest thing, I can't believe how much she talks and seems to comprehend. It was so cute:) That same day though she feel down and had saw dust on her and stood up, wiped her hands off and said, "Ahhh man..." I couldn't help but giggle. She says the funniest things:)
This was her playing with her new toy. The Little People's Noah's Ark. She really likes it.
This is her with my parents. So cuteThen Lexi and I went to visit my good friend Melissa in Red Bluff and this is her with her daughter Grace! They are almost exactly a year apart and will be best friends too:) Too cute!
