Alexandra & Anthony Morella

So Dustin & I have decided that Alexandra will marry Anthony! It will be an arranged marriage, but we know they will fall in love with eachother. Look at that sneaky little look Ally has on her face. :)

I absolutely LOVE this picture :)

Growing too fast

She went to the doctor yesterday to check on her tummy (gassy baby), she is already 10 lbs 15 oz!! That is with her clothes on! WOW! I cannot believe how she is growing. ON the 9th she has her 2 month check up, then I will know her naked weight & length etc!

More pictures, I cannot help myself!

Here are some random pictures of Alexandra... you know I do this especially for you Carla!!







We took the boat out on Lake Washington for a couple of hours on sunday! It was really nice out! We met up with our friends John & Jen, they just got a boat!!! CONGRATS!!!! Too many people in boats that day...water was super chopy & lots of boats make me nervous!

Alexandra & her new friend Abigail!!

Abigail Etzkorn was born 4-19-06 at 2:03 p.m. She was 8lbs 3 oz! :) Congrats Mike & Tracy!!

Tummy Time gone Lazy

Everyday at least twice a day we have floor time & tummy time. She usually lifts her heads & talks & plays. Well this time, all she did was lay there comfy as can be!

6 Weeks Old!

Easter Bunny!

Well what can I say. I wanted to take Alexandra to the mall to sit on the Easter Bunnies lap, but Dustin said no freak in a bunny costume is holding my daughter. So the good husband & daddy that he is, he dressed up in my old halloween costume & let me take some pictures! Gotta love this!

Also 1 month old picture

Alexandra's 1 month old picture...

We just won't leave her alone!

Getting ready for Easter..

Talking to Daddy :)

DADDY FIXES EVERYTHING..

I have to say that if Dustin was not around in the evenings sometimes I would rip all of my hair out & scream. Alexandra seems to get the most gas in the evening.. so she will scream & cry & I cannot do anything to calm her down. Dustin has some special touch that makes her burp, fart, poop & calm down.... everytime! SO I have decided to keep him around, he sure does come in handy!

1 month old today!!!

Alexandra is already 1 month old! She is still sweet as pie! We are loving every second of this parenthood stuff!
(not sure why the picture says 4-5-06, it was taken today)

I will get some more pictures from today on this blog!

Enjoy!

OUR NEW ADDITION!!!

I am sure that everyone has already been told.....We had our baby!!

Alexandra Lynn was born on 3-6-06 @ 7:10 pm. She weighed 7lbs 2 oz & was 19 1/2 inches long.
She is absolutely wonderful!! Labor was way better than I was expecting, well with all the horror stories that I was told throughout my pregnancy. ;) From start to finish I was in labor for about 17 hours. I only pushed for about 1 hour! NOT BAD!!! I lucked out. My little girl was easy on me!
We are all doing great! She is being perfect.....could not have asked for a more perfect pregnancy, labor, delivery & baby!
I will be sure to keep everyone updated on Alexandra!!!

She also has 4 images on the swedish website. So www.swedish.org, then you click on the women & childbirth thing I think, then I had her at first hill. Then it goes by her name :)

Nothing too new... just keeping you posted :)

I thought I would just fill everyone in on how things are going! I am doing great....about 4 weeks left! I can't believe that I was getting nervous with 10 weeks, not it is 4! It is amazing how fast it goes by! I have been a very lucky person though! I have enjoyed my pregnancy!! :) Just had a check up yesterday. Says everything seems great! I am measuring right where I should be & the baby sounds perfect! (of course) She said that she expects me to deliver a 7-7 1/2 lb baby. I can handle that.... I sure hope! Everyone needs to cross their fingers that I have her the 1st-5th of march. I want to have her early, the 16th is just too far into the month. So I have decided when she should come! :)
Dustin is doing great! He is just working & helping me around the house. (about time!) He also has done stuff to the babies room that I have been nagging about! So it is almost done. We just need to take the closet doors off & move some stuff around. It is so much fun getting everything ready, I just feel so unprepared!
Anyways..... That is my update! Just want everyone to know that things are progressing as they should & we are doing great!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful christmas & a fun & safe new years eve! I cannot believe that it is already 2006! WOW~ time flies!
Christmas was great! Can't believe next christmas I will have a little girl to spoil rotten! :) I got what I was beggin' for, call me crazy, but I wanted & needed a new vacuum! Yes, Dustin listened & got it for me! I was very happy about that. That was probably my very best present! ha! Love it soo much! We had a wonderful time at his parents house on christmas eve, then at my parents house on christmas! It is always great getting everyone together!

To think only 10 weeks left until my due date! Holy Moses! ( i think i can, i think i can)

To sum my little blog entry: I am great, baby is great & Dustin is great! Couldn't ask for a better start to the new year!

Hope the new year is treating everyone great!

(sorry the pics are all wierd, I am trying I am trying!)

UPDATES...

Sorry Carla! I know I should keep up on this....so yes, today I will let you know what is going on in our lives. :)

Nothing too knew & exciting! We have just been trying to get ready for christmas, decorating, buying gifts etc. I love christmas! Puts me in a good mood to wrap presents & stick them under the tree.
We are starting to get more & more used to the fact that in little over a couple months we will be mommy & daddy to a little girl! I have been doing great, feeling great (besides being tired.) The baby is just perfect! We had an ultra sound yesterday & she is right on track & healthy as can be! I am getting super excited for everything, but then somedays I scare the hell right out of myself.
Dustin has just been working & then hunting on the weekends, then putting up with me! I have been pretty emotional, but I have to say he is coping well! :)

I hope that everyone is doing wonderful! I will try to stay on top of this blog!

Well this is my update, sorry it has taken so stinkin long!

Hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
