Well its hard to believe she is almost 6 weeks old. She went to the drs office for her 1st shot :( She did great. Celia is now weighing 11 lbs and 6 ozs. She is 22 1/2 in long !! She is lifting her head, cooing, following objects with her eyes, and the most important ... Smiling at mom and dad :)
Below are some pics we took a couple of weeks ago. Please enjoy !
Well its been awhile since my last post and I apologize for that.
Celia is doing great. She is sleeping about 4-5 hrs at a time. She went in for her well baby check-up and was back up to her birth weight ( 8lbs 14 ozs ). The doctor couldnt be more pleased with her progress. She is already trying to hold her head up.She loves bath time as you can see.
Burt continues to be great with her. She really has him wrapped, and he is loving every moment. He just started back work this week and when he is leaving she is eating or just finished and when he walks in the room and talks to her, her eyes light up. Celia has a photo shoot scheduled for this friday. Hopefully everything goes well :)
Shawn is doing great with her. He holds her for me so I can get some things done. She gets tired of sitting in the swing. When she starts crying I pick with him and tell him to stop pinching her. He is wrapped also :) LOL !!!
As for me, I am in love. What can I say she is my baby girl !!! Some say that she is a miracle but I say Drake was the miracle and she was meant to be. She fits in so well its amazing. The dogs dont even mind her. My mom asked me if I feel complete. I dont think complete is something I will ever feel. I am content. I have a healthy son and daughter that i thank God for. I will forever have a picec of me missing. I know Drake is watching from above where he is healthy and whole. He will forever be in my heart.
I just cant say Thank You enough to everyone that has helped us along the way. I will post more later.
Celia Grace Michel arrived on July 1, 2009. She weighed 8 pounds and 14 ozs. She was 20 & 1/2 inches long. Celia is very healthy. She cried like a champ when she arrived !! ( thank GOD )
Burt and I couldnt be happier. She has been nothing but a joy to have home with us. She already has her daddy wrapped around that little finger.
I will post more later. Just wanted to give the details and show her off.
Amy, Steve, ^Faith^, & Abby We send our Love. Congrats !!!!
Congratulations to Amy and Steve !! Abby Grace Miles was born June 29, 2009 at 10:58 pm. Weighing in at 7lbs and 11ozs. She is 20 inches long !! Everyone is doing great !
Well I went to the Doctors office Wed. She said i was dilated 1 cm. Well of course I was begging that this was enough to just take her. My doctor just laughed and said that if my contractions get 3-5 min apart or if my water broke to go straight in and she would go ahead and take her. If not she would see me Wed. July 1. in the O.R. Well I wasnt laughing.
Last night I started with some contractions. YAY right ? No , it was pain for NOTHING ! They were 12 min apart then dropped off.
Well I am looking forward to meeting this little girl, I know no matter when she gets here its gonna be one of the most emotional days of our lives. Just to hear that sweet cry, Is worth the wait.
On another note... My step-sister is coming in from Texas on Monday. ( Julie, You better be !! :). My dear friend Amy is also expecting any day. I cant wait to see her precious bundle ! She is another CDH mom whos daughter Faith and My son Drake are best of friends in heaven watching out for there new sisters on the way. Amy... I know our babys will be friends no matter the distance as we are.
I still havent picked up the pics from the shower from my friend. I will try and do that this weekend and post them.
Thanks for listening to me rant.

A BIG THANK YOU to Kori for letting us use this stork and a BIG THANK YOU to Ms Jernell and Denise who bought the bundles for before and after Celia comes. They are the sweetest ladies that I have met in a long time. I cant say enough how much we appreciate everything they have done for us when Drake was in the hospital and now with Celia on the way , They have done so much already. I have to say that they are a blessing from above.
Ms Jernell, Denise, and Kori We still cant say it enough .... THANK YOU !
