Happy Birthday Sadie Allerton Koonce!!!!

Hi! Sadie was born 06-16-2007 at 12:15 am. She was 8 lbs. 9 oz and 19 3/4" long. As you can see she is a deep thinker, very happy little girl who hardly ever cries. However she does eat for an hour every 2 hours and in between she runs through diapers!!! Becky and I are very happy, we are taking time off from work for most of the summer and getting no sleep while we get to know our little girl. more pictures to follow shortly, until then, check out some pictures, http://www.bristolarts.com/sadie/main.php

We will write more soon as time allows. love to all!!!

Aaron Becky Sadie and Frankie

week 38 or 11 more days!!!! but who's counting

most people who know me wonder if there is anything that will slow me down ever.....well here it is at 38 weeks and 11 days left and i have finally slowed down
i am still at work but i sit all day playing with books and art images in air conditioning so its not that bad....
my brain has stopped my poor little feet look like sausage links
aaron took a picture of them for me today because i have totally forgotten what they look like. my friend holly got me a pedicure and i told the holly to pick the polish because i would never see it so i guess she picked a sparkly pink!
and i have to say to all out there pedicures are the bomb! especially when you can't bend down.
so where are we with the house.....as far as i am concerned we are done!
well for now...paul and charlotte are over at the house every week finishing up little projects which is wonderful
charlotte has done an amazing job painting the nursery.....
aaron and i did go to IKEA last weekend and ended up buying lots and lots of stuff...for example this wonderful bookshelf for the nursery, a new bed for us, a sofa, two new chairs, a rug, a tv cabinet, and some things to help us keep organized
its like living in the real world now when you walk into the house and this is the first time aaron and i ever actually bought furniture!
lets see we have started putting things together......
so we have a wonderful bassinet all ready for when she comes home
she will get to sleep next to my paintings and hopefully have wonderful dreams of chickens
we have a stroller well two actually an original pram which will be fun to take her to the beach in and walk around the neighborhood and we have our all terrain stroller for all the off road driving

we also got her the little backpack from ergo and a wonderful sling: all things to carry baby
went to the docs on tuesday and she is doing fine getting bigger and climbing on my ribs
one thing is for sure aaron and i have a very active baby
now what
we wait
and wait until she comes
so wish us luck and cross your fingers that bec will be two in less than 11 days
until next week
