Updates and such

Geez, it's been almost 5 months since I've been able to update our blog. It's amazing how much time I don't have to do stuff like this. However, I will start updating more since my Junior League project is to work here every Saturday until the end of January. But since I don't have my own laptop with me I can't update with pictures of the girls.

Genevieve is growing so much!! She's already cutting teeth, one is all the way in and the other is not far behind. I'm guessing in a couple of weeks she will be fully mobile. Right now she can sit up by herself and army crawl across the floor. She'll get on her knees, rock a bit and then move about two "steps". Boy will our house change again!!!

Vivian is doing great at school. After the 3rd week she could write her name, a great accomplishment. She's enjoying her new teacher and has made some new friends in her class. Vivian keeps talking about her 5th birthday, which I'm not ready for since that means I have to get a year older... 35, not ready to think about that.

So, I will have some updated pics here either next Saturday or if I can this week when it's "quiet" at home.

Toodles!

First Picnic

Here's a picture of the new babies of Supper Club! Jake, Genevieve and Drew. We all went to Cool Thursdays concert at the Dallas Arboretum on May 8. They all did a great job and of course loved the music. We will be there again next week!

A little over 2 months...

It's been a little over 2 months now since Genevieve came into our world, doesn't sound like a long time but it sure does feel that way sometimes.





She's starting to sleep longer through the night, at least 5-6 hours from the last feeding. At her 2 month check-up, she weighed 9.03 lbs. and measured 21". I say she has "kissable" cheeks now, there' getting a little plumper and the fat rolls are starting grow!

We are preparing for school to be over for Vivian. Summer officially starts next week. She will be going to swimming lessons and will go the VBS this year. Think we will spend a lot of time at the KC pool this summer, ready to have my hair highlighted!





Our family is doing well, enjoy the new pics of the girls. Will update more often, hopefully!

Genevieve Alice Feagan

4 lbs. 15 oz. 18.5 inches

The long awaited arrival of our new princess. The blog has been neglected since Christmas, so there are several items which need to be added and will be as soon as I can get to it! With much anticipation our little girl is just perfect. As noted on a later post about concerns with the baby's bone lengths, we were told by the perinatologist she might be short (skeletal displayisia) or possibly Downs Syndrome. Needless to say Aaron and I didn't have much sleep the night before delivery.

We had dinner with my family the night before and my sisters Kimberly and Melanie were able to be in town, with much help to their husbands. Prayers were said, once again, our precious little baby. Darren and Pamela had Holy water from Rome and blessed everyone. Our prayers were answered with a clear bill of health, thank you for all of your prayers of petition. Our little Genevieve was covered at all ends: the Benedictine Nuns of the Redlands in Oklahoma, Sister Mary Rebbecca and a Priest which a personal friend of Darren and Pamela... just to name a few.

Vivian is having a lot of fun with her new sister. She is truly a great helper and is adjusting well to the new schedule. We are starting to go out as we had but a little at a time.

Genevieve is growing by leaps and bounds. At her 2 week appointment she weighed in at a whopping 5.15 and at 5 weeks was 7.08. We will see where we are on May 13 for her 2 month check up. She is starting to smile and "talk".

Vivian with Santa

Vivian had her annual trip to visit Santa. As you can see they are sharing quite a laugh, she just finished telling Santa she wanted a duck for Christmas! Hopefully she's not expecting the real thing!

Update on Baby Feagan

On Tuesday, at my first scheduled sonogram, clear pictures of the baby could not be made and there was difficulty in measuring the important parts (heart, bone lenght, etc.) so I was sent to a specialist. They called me late Wednesday evening to see if I could make the 11 AM appointment. Not a problem, other than Aaron wasn't going to be able to make it.

Nervous as I could be, my parents went with me because I was unsure of the news I would receive and didn't want to be by myself. I noticed when I dropped Vivian at school there were several cars in the parking lot, not realizing what day it was. While we were driving to my appointment my parents said they attended morning Mass and prayed for us, all of us, today is All Saints Day. Aaron sent me a text as I arrived at the doctor's office, said he was nervous, I almost cried right then... asked him to say a rosary and he said he did on his way to work.

Obviously our prayers were answered, everything is normal. Dr. McGee looked at every part of the baby, all measurements were consistent for a 20 week pregnancy. On Tuesday, it was thought the baby was measuring small, around 18 weeks, which was a bit concerning. The heart function was normal as was the blood flow with the umbilical cord. Baby Feagan was extremely active this morning, which of course is a very good sign.

Last but not least, we found out who will be arriving at the Feagan household in March. It's a GIRL!! Aaron and I are very excited... Vivian on the other hand still thinks she's getting a baby brother, going to have to work on this one since the Princess will have to share her throne with another one!

Baby Update...

Today we visited the Doctor in hope we would find out who would be arriving, no such luck this time. The technician was unable to retrieve overall clear pictures of the baby so we will be going to visit "the big guys" within the next week, not sure when the appointment will be so we will keep you posted.

She was at least able to get a profile shot, so here you go! This is all we have right now!
