12 weeks old

Addy is 12 weeks old today. 3 months!! I can't believe it. She has discovered her hands and feet and loves to watch them. She loves to chew her hands, she hasn't figured out how to get her feet into her mouth except for one time so far. It's amazing how flexible she is :-)

Weekend down in Vevay

Addy

Adyson is doing well at school. She is getting used to all the sounds. She comes home and crashes still. She also has been sleeping thru the night for about 4 weeks now, which is wonderful. She will be three months this coming Tuesday.

Madeline

Here are some pictures of Madeline. She just went to the doctor and has gained 10 ounces so she is 4lbs 15 ounces now which is alot for almost two weeks.

Lots of updates

Johanna at the hospital



Madeline Claire Riegal was born at 7:13 pm on Sunday April 29th. She weighed 4 lbs and 5 ounces. She is currently in the NICU doing very well. Chanda is doing great. They went to the hospital around 1pm and she progressed from 2 to 10 by 7pm and only pushed for 13 minutes, which was around 8 pushes (lucky girl). We don't have any pictures of Maddie yet, we didn't take the camera into the NICU when we held her. She does have light brown hair and is tiny. She may come home this week if her blood oxygen level stays level. Al couldn't switch his flight so he went to Springfield MO as planned and hopped in a car, after like 27 hours on a plane, and drove here.

Adyson and I are now back to school. We started last week. It was a really hard week. I cried on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights and when I dropped her off the first day. She had her two month doctor's appointment on last Monday and she weighs 11 lbs and 1 ounce and is 23 inches long. She is doing great. She has been cranky yesterday and today at school. She is not use to the noise and is not sleeping very well during the day, so when we go home she eats, takes a nap, eats, then she crashes and sleeps thru the night.

Johanna had her doctor's appointment today. They did an ultrasound on the baby. The baby is 4 lbs and 15 ounces, which puts them in the 12th percentile which is good and she is 1-2 cm dilated. They want the baby to gain 1 to 1 1/2 pounds before they are born. She has 4 weeks till her due date. She really wants to go full term this pregnancy.

Our niece is coming early

Chanda's water just broke!! We are heading up to Lafayette. We will have a niece today or tommorrow. The funny thing is that we have been up there the last two days because they just moved on Friday to thier new house and we have been helping unpack. Madeline is coming 3 and a 1/2 weeks early and G-pa (Al) is on a plane back from Hong Kong, he should arrive in Denver at 2:34 and hopefully can change his flight to Indy or somewhere close. We will post pictures as soon as we get them.

Easter

We had a good Easter. We went to Church and then to Phil and Sandy's for lunch. Eli and Christian dyed eggs and had an easter egg hunt. Then we had Sandy's mexican food and Marsha's american food, and both were great. Funny enough this is the first time my husband has seen me in a dress if you don't count the wedding dress. It was funny when I tried it on, he said it's wierd seeing my wife in a dress, and I realized that I haven't owned a dress in the last four years we have been together. Hope your Easter was wonderful and you spent it remembering that we all have a calling in our life, he carried his out for you, Are you serving yours?
