Leah Rachel Briggs

Thats right we have finially come up with a name for our little girl after 5 days. It was the hardest things we had to do but I think it is the right name for her. She is the sweetest she has her days and nights all mixed up we stay up all night feeding and changing diapers and watching tv just her and I. I am very worn out. and the whole change in hormones sucks I cry over the little things like now here comes the tears. I try to hold them in but I know its not good so I let them know then I cant stop. Today Jason and I are taking Leah out to her first outing to the doctors. I hope the trip goes good. I just hope she doesnt need to be fed while we are out I dont know I feel about breastfeeding in front on people I dont know. So wish us good luck. and enjoy the pics.

Welcome Baby Girl Briggs!!

Our little girl was born Oct. 22 nd 2009 at 1231pm at St. Joseph Medical Center by Donna Payne-Synder. She weighted in at 7 lbs 7 oz. 20 in long. She is such a good baby. She eats very well. We brought her home friday 10-23. She loves to sleep in her swing. The girls (dogs) dont seem to care to much about her yet. They will watch her in the swing then look at us like what is that? Red doesnt like the swing she will not walk by it if it is moving. Jason is such a great daddy always making sure she eats every two to three hrs. He loves to sit and look at her. And no we havnt come up with a name its a hard one for us. Well I will post later with pics. Better eat so I can feed the little girl next.

Wk 39 and 5 days to go

I had my doctors appt on monday with a non-stress test. The test went a longer then the first one she was not very active that early in the morning. I was still dilated to 1cm and 70% (-2 whatever that means.) I keep telling Jas that she is just like him stubborn. My midwife doesnt think she is coming this wk and maybe not on her due date. So here we sit waiting for her arrival. She will come out when she is good and ready. Thats what Jason and I have decieded on. I will keep everyone update as soon as I know something. I have another appt monday Oct 26th (her due date) with another NST. So hopefully we will have more info for everyone.

Wk 38

So Today marks wk 38 only two more until her due date but she might come early its hard telling. My midwife has ordered me to be off work until the end. It is pretty boring sitting at home I can only clean so much and sit for as long. Jason and I are still trying to decide on a name for our little girl. We have a faw but its hard to making that decision. So we will have to wait until she gets here. If you have any ideas hit me up with them and I tak with Jas about them and maybe what we name her.

The Log Crib

Jason has been working his butt off for the last month so he could get the crib done before the end of Sept. and it worked he is all done. He put the last touchs on it yesterday after work and by 7pm I got to put the bedding in it. The crib looks great. I very proud of him he did a great job.

Mr. and Mrs. Briggs

On Aug 22Nd Jason and I got Married at the Lakewood Municipal Court House at 1030am. It was very small just the two of us and Sheri and Steven two of our friends. Next summer we might have a little reception date to posted later. We got married one day before our six yr anniversary for dating. Life has changed much now that we are married. We are getting ready for the arrival of our little girl baby Briggs, Only six more weeks in counting. Everything is going good she is growning like she should be. I am just going through all the parts of being pregnant sore back, feet and etc.... But taking it easy.

I have a lot of catching up to do

Its been a long time since I have had time to update everyone on whats happening. Jason has been working hard on the room and crib. He replaced the windows in both the bedrooms a couple of weeks ago. He is working on crib this weekend since its a three day weekend for him.

Week 23 and 4 days. Look close and you can see the baby belly. everyone says "I am to small to be 5 1/2 months" My midwife said I am going good. you are tall and most women don't get very big with their first.

Jason working hard on the crib in the HOT sun today. He didn't work on it much today Because he was getting to hot.

Here is what the room looks like so far. My mom and I painted and put up the very cute wall paper. Jason's Mom help last Friday by painting the white. Thanks for all your guys help. I don't know what I would do with out my mom and Jason's mom help.

Jason working on the window and putting up the trim. He is a great handyman. I Love Him. He can do everything and anything. And if he can't he will find a way to do it. He is still working on putting in the door. And last but not least Here is our little girl. She is one active baby. Moving all the time when I am trying to rest or just up walking around she is awake. I am doing good no contractions yet and hopefully not for a couple more months.

I will have my monthly check up on July 8Th.
