Dear Evie,
Thank you so much, sweet girl, for sleeping through the night last night. You fell asleep at 8:45 p.m. and didn't wake up until 5:45 a.m. (And I think the only reason you woke up then was that stuffy little nose.) I hope you enjoyed your good night of sleep as much as I did.
I love you more than you'll ever know! You are Mommy and Daddy's little Pookie!
xoxo

The Incredible Growing Baby
I took Evie to the pediatrician this morning because she’s developed a lovely runny eye and nose combination over the last couple of days. No need to be alarmed – it’s just a little head cold. She wasn’t running a fever, her ears look good, and she’s still her happy little self.
Today she weighed 15 pounds 4 ounces – up 8 ounces (half a pound) since Friday! I asked Jay what he thought that could be from and he replied, “Sugar or snot.” It’s true; we have the sweetest snottiest baby.

Four Months Old
I'm not sure if anyone checks this blog anymore. :-) But in case there are still interested readers Evie turned four months old on Friday. We saw her doctor on the same day. Our baby girl is growing - she's now 14 pounds 12 ounces (75th percentile) and 24 inches long (50th percentile). These are the same percentiles from her two month check up.
She also tried her jumper toy for the first time Friday night and loved it!

Pictures anyone?
Hello all! Well it's taken me a very long time to get pictures uploaded but I've finally done it! Rather than posting them all here on the blog I'll point you to my Picasa Web Albums.
You can see pictures from October here:
And November is here:
We are all doing very well - Evie has already grown and changed so much! She'll be six weeks old tomorrow which is just really hard to believe. Her last weight check had her at 9 pounds and 1 ounce but that was almost two weeks ago so I bet she's over 10 pounds by now. We have moved out of newborn diapers and are in size one now. And she's outgrown all of her newborn clothes.
Love to all - I can't wait for you all to meet our little scoop of sunshine.

Welcome Evie!
A very Happy Birthday is in order today for a very special young lady. Evie Sue Shockley made her way into this world on October 20, 2008 at 11:17 a.m. She weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long at birth.
To say we were a bit surprised to find ourselves at the hospital at 3:00 this morning is an understatement! She's two and a half weeks early but definitely ready to be here. (And for anyone worrying if I was ready or not, based on my note on October 5, we spent the weekend nesting at home and now understand where all of that energy came from!)
I'm doing really well and so is Jay. We're supposed to be napping right now but I don't think I've quite gotten the hang of that. I'm sure it will come. :-) We both are feeling so happy and overwhelmed with what's ahead for us. What a journey this has been and will continue to be.
My sincere apologies that there are not any pictures - I promise that Jay and I will get organized tomorrow and find where in our bag I stuck the camera cord for the computer. I can promise you all without any bias whatsoever that she is a doll.
Oh - and a special shout out to all of the doctors and nurses we've had the good fortune of working with - I didn't know there were so many angels right here on this earth in one place.

One Month
One month from today is our due date! And while it feels like I have been pregnant forever (since February!!) I am not quite ready for our little one to make her appearance. I am thankful for and looking forward to every weekend and every quiet moment between now and her birthday. Don't get me wrong, she's welcome anytime she gets ready. I just mean that I'm not to that "get this baby out of me I am done being pregnant" place yet that I have heard happens at some point late in pregnancy. I'm sure I will be letting you all know when that time comes. :-)
