Julianna Grace


I figured while I had a moment, I would let you all know that Julianna and the family are doing great!! Jon and I love our new little bundle of joy and just can't get enough of her. Surprisingly Jon is more tired than I am and I'm the one getting up at night with Julianna!

Julianna went to the doctor yesterday and is now 8lbs. 4oz. When she came home from the hospital she weighed 8lbs. She is getting back to her birth weight of 8lbs. 9oz. The doctor says she looks great! We have to agree!

We are looking forward to our trip to Michigan so everyone can meet her. It will be our first family trip and we are very excited!!

I'm healing alright from my c-section. I do have a small gap in my incision, but the doctor is not concerned. It just means my scar won't be as pretty. lol! My tummy muscles need to get back into shape because right now I can't sneeze or laugh right because of how stretched they are. It's a very weird feeling! I'm doing better every day though so that is encouraging!

Well back to the baby! I'll update again when I can!

MUCH LOVE!!

Grandpa and Baby Update

After seeing the pictures of the car, we are all very thankful that Mom and Grandpa are alive and okay. The car, obviously, has been totaled. There will be no driving let a lone fixing it.

Grandpa came home on Friday to the skilled nursing unit where he lives. Every day he gets stronger and stronger. He is now able to get himself into a sitting position on the side of the bed and he can walk further and further with a walker every day. There is nothing wrong with his legs, he is just very weak and has to keep moving. He is very open to all the instruction my aunt has been giving him and is very open to any ideas that will help him heal faster and be able to not only do things on his own, but to be able to move home as soon as possible. It will be a while before he can actually move home, but he wants out of skilled nursing and into assisted living. I can't blame him. There is still a number of things to line up for him but we are headed in the right direction. He should be able to make it to my brother's wedding in Sept if he continues the way he is going. He is definitely in good spirits!

On the baby front...not much to report. She is still in my tummy swimming around. I go to the doctor tomorrow so we shall see what he thinks then. I'm ready to have this baby already! Thank goodness the weather has been nice because it has given me the opportunity to sit out side and go swimming some. Being busy helps!

Well hopefully my next post will be pictures of the baby!! Guess we all just have to wait and see!!

MUCH LOVE!

Still Waiting

It's June 1st and baby still isn't here. I realize her due date is the 3rd, but I was HOPING she would be here sooner. Guess she has other plans. I have given up wondering if today is the day. I figure she still won't be here by the third so I'll have my doctors appointment and we'll go from there. They probably won't let me go much longer due to her size, so I figure by the weekend, she should be here...Hopefully!

Thank goodness I have had other things to think and worry about. It has helped a lot with keeping me side tracked and not so baby focused.

My mom is doing much better. She is actually back in Ohio running the company. My grandfather stepped down as the acting president officially yesterday and now my mother is the acting president. She is very stressed by it all, but she wants to continue through with the sale of the company so they don't lose the buyer. She plans to have it all said and done in a month, if not sooner. My grandfather will probably never go back to the company again. (That's not a bad thing though.) My grandfather, too, is doing much better. They have removed the breathing tube and have moved him from ICU. There is a really good possibility he will be released on Thursday into our care so we can bring him home. He still has a VERY long road ahead of him of healing and PT and oral surgery, but at least he will be home and back in Pittsburgh. We all pray that he has learned from this accident and will now wear a seat belt every time he is the car. We all thank God he is doing so well. I know myself and my family have appreciated the prayers and thoughts. Thank you so much!

MUCH LOVE!
