Sydney Waking Up

Here is a series of pictures of Sydney waking up from an evening nap (she was sleeping in Daddy's arms). The one with her mouth wide open is a yawn, not a cry. My favorite is the last picture, where she looks simply exhausted after undertaking an endeavor as taxing as waking up from a nap!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Love,

Sydney (By the way, I wore this cute outfit to church this morning and had an explosive diaper halfway through...luckily, the extra outfit Mommy packed me was pretty cute too!)

I'm pretty proud of myself for only going a week and a day between blog posts, but I know I should at least post pictures more regularly, so I promise to try! Here's what we've been up to: Chet's mom (Grammy) stayed with us the first week after Sydney came home from the hospital, and my mom (Didi) flew into Jacksonville last Friday to stay with us this week. Chet went back to work the first Monday after Sydney was born, so it's just been the girls hanging out during the day (I think Chet feels a little outnumbered). Didi flies back to Houston tomorrow, and Chet will begin two weeks of leave; we're looking forward to two whole weeks of family time!

Daddy and Sydney (there's been a lot of TV watching these past two weeks!)

Poor, baby! Daddy propped her up on the couch as if she was watching TV...

Didi and Sydney

One day Sydney was sitting in Didi's lap, and we realized that her toe was sticking out of her outfit. We thought it was hilarious (perhaps because we're a little sleep deprived)...

By the way, here are what Sydney's finished wooden letters look like hanging on the wall!

Enough procrastination!

Hello, everyone! I'm back to blogging (I've been politely reminded by some friends to post pictures, plus, I started to feel guilty on my own for ignoring the blog)...

I don't have much time now, so I'll post the labor and delivery story later, but here are some pictures of Sydney Jo. She's doing great at home, and thanks to Casey for updating the blog while we were in the hospital!

Ashley says Sydney is "perfect!"

IN LABOR!!!!

Hey Guys,

I am posting for Ashley who is now in Labor with little baby girl Wyckoff! Her contractions started around 11:30pm last night and she was admitted into the hospital this morning at 7am. Her epidural is in already so they are patiently waiting for their precious little girl to make her appearance!

If I hear back from her today, I will post another update.

Please keep Ash, Chet, and baby girl in your prayers for an easy and quick delivery!

Doctor Appointment

Today I had another doctor appointment, and I am a "good" 3 cm dilated and a little more than 75% effaced. A little bit of progress is better than none! The doctor didn't have any guesses as to when Little Miss would be born; it's just a waiting game at this point! I have another appointment scheduled for next Tuesday, but hopefully I don't make it to that one...
