Austin trip

This past weekend Jeremy, Kailey, and I drove to Austin to see my family. Lisa is still living in Austin until Nov, then they will move back to Dallas, but until then it is an added bonus to see them. Aaron bought a house in Austin near my parents and Matt is out of school for the summer. So needless to say it is always a full house when we come to visit.

We left for Austin on Friday around 2 or so. Kailey was a perfect angel the entire trip. She slept almost the whole ride there. My parents where so excited to see Kailey. That night we all went out to dinner at Iguana, a Mexican restaurant on the lake. The view there is absolutely beautiful. It was so great to see everyone. Saturday morning Jeremy and I went to the lake with Aaron, Matt, and Dinell, Matt's girlfriend, while my parents watched Kailey. We had so much fun! Jeremy drove the boat and did an awesome job, while I sat back and enjoyed a few beers. :) We found a cove and parked the boat. We all swam in the lake for a few hours. As you can see from the pictures we had so much fun!
















Later that day, my mom's friend Lindsay came over to my parents house and took some pictures of Kailey, Jeremy, and I. She is a wonderful photographer. Here is a sneak peek of the pictures.



For those of you who do not know Caden, my nephew he is completely girl crazy. The entire time that we where in Austin he always wanted to play with Kailey. At one point he even started to call her his sister. It was so cute!

Like is always does, time flew by and Sunday came and it was time for us to go home. I really wished that my parents lived closer to us. Kailey is growing up so fast and I really wished my parents could see her more often.

One the way home we stoped off at Whataburger to use the restroom and feed Kailey. While there this man came up to us and asked how old Kailey was. I told him 5 months and his eyes got really big. he then said, "Wow, she is so big. Does she just eat all day?" I have no idea why some people just don't keep some of there comments to themselves. This is not the first time that someone has called my little sweet baby fat. She is not fat, she is healthy. :)

This weekend was so much fun and I treasure every moment with my family. Next weekend we are flying to Vermont for the Thompson family reunion. I can't wait to see Grandma (Jeremy's grandma) again.

Time is flying

I can't believe that Kailey is already four months old! It seems like just yesterday I was telling my parents that I was pregnant. Labor came on on Feb 20, 2010. Jeremy and I went to the hospital and we were sent home because I was not dilating. That night the labor pains became so intense that we had to go back. Finally, my nurse came in and told me that I was staying. a few short hours later, Kailey Ann Thompson was born Feb 21, 2010 at 1240. She weighed 7.9 oz and was 20 inches long. She had a little trouble breathing so we was sent to the NICU for a few days. Those three days where my own personnel hell. Seeing your newborn baby hooked up to oxygen and IVs is so hard. I know that I am a nurse, but it is so different when it is your child.





Kailey is now home and doing just fantastic. The first few months where hard, but I am finally starting to get used to motherhood and I love it. kailey can now roll over, smile, laugh, and of course cry. haha She sat up for a few secs but we are still working on that. I love being a mother and I wish time would stop flying by so fast.
