Joshua CAK vs. Kingston football game

My little bro Josh is a senior at CAK in Knoxville and plays football. His number is 22 and we took HHH for the first time to his game or any football game for that matter. She really did so great. I think she would get a little startled by the roar of the crowd, but did not have any crying fits over it. I wanted her to have a cute outfit for the game so my friend Kayla came over to show me how to make a tutu....

CAK colors are blue and gold and I wanted her to wear the colors without looking like a boy..which I have done and trying to not to do from now on. So we had to make sure she had a tutu and a cute bow in her hair. We wanted to make sure her uncle Josh knew she really supported him!

I think she really did enjoy watching the game

this is uncle Gaines and his cute cheerleader girlfriend

they are freshman at CAK

The game started out pretty rough but by second half they came back with a vengeance and really beat them! We have officially lost our camera by this point and did not get enough pictures.

Here are the captains. My lil bro Josh so proud of him

Richie and Nikki's wedding

We went to Hilton Head, SC for my older brother Richie's wedding. It was a great time. Chad and I were so nervous to take Henslee on such a long trip only being 2 months old...but she did awesome! She slept and was great the entire way down there til we got to HH and then she fussed for about 30 min. This worked out pretty good cause Grammie (my mom) came to the hotel and helped us get organized by taking care of the baby. This also allowed Chad and I a little prewedding time with the bride and groom at the hotel lounge area, where there was a one man band who was pretty great singing Michael Jackson.

Bride looked GORGEOUS

We took her precious outfit off because it was a little tight on her neck ( I didnt notice) but then we put her in the precious ruffled outfit with fish and some lime green socks... HILARIOUS

The wedding was really gorgeous right by the beach and the weather was perfect.   Chad and I lost our camera so I have stolen these pictures from other people. 

I was in the wedding so Chad did an excellent job of taking care of HHH all day on Saturday while I helped mom decorate and get ready. He was a trooper and she was SO good. Did you see the picture of him feeding her a bottle in a wedding coozie?  He is too funny!

WAR EAGLE!

Our first game with baby! Wow how things have changed. We sold our season tickets to Auburn this year cause we knew it would be hard to get there with an newborn. That is now an understatment. There is NO WAY we could make a 5 hr trip with her and sit through a game.... ha ha ha! So we got our shakers ready and Henslee slept in the swing for the first half. The TV and Chads voice was turned down more than usual. We did have our game day best on at least (Auburn onesie, burp cloth, and tiger blanket). If you all watched the game it got intense there at the end. Which worked out great for Henslee cause we are on this feed, wake, sleep schedule (baby wise) and I needed her to be awake and Chad was doing a good job of that! He was kissing her when plays were good. When they were bad, I was nervous he was going to throw her! In the end Auburn won, Chad was happy, and Henslee kept to her schedule.

She probably trying to poop or get gas out here :)

?? well who cares now

about looking at the maternity pictures once baby has gotten here but we got the pics and PAID for them.. so I am gonna share..

BEST NEIGHBORS

Chad and I moved into a dream of a neighborhood in April. Besides the fact we are so in love with our new home...but what has made our neighborhood an amazing place has been our amazing neighbors.  First off our next door neighbors have been taking care of Chad and I since we moved in. Donna and Scott Turley have given us rugs, cabinet for our garage, mowed our grass when Henslee just arrived, and well honestly so much I cannot even type it all out. They are who we compare crazy water bills with and get advice from. I told Donna yesterday that she is like family to us and its the truth. WE LOVE THEM! 

When the baby came everyone from around us stopped by and brought us food, gifts, and more gifts. We love being on Pennystone Circle cause that is where all the cool people live :)

On Saturday, our amazing neighbor Donna came over with her camera and took pictures for 3 hours of Henslee... here are some great ones..

GG (Sallie) got her this outfit. I love it so much. It reminds me of something my best friends Hayden and Lauren Lofton would wear

DING DING DING... This is the winner wonder why?!!

Childrens Hospital

Henslee was doing a few things from the beginning that made me a little nervous. When she would nurse she would stop and her little face would shake. I had not put much thought into it.. until it started to be longer and become much more frequent. I contacted the pediatricians office and had taken her in to see one of the doctors. Because I did not have it on video and she did not do it while we were at the doctors, he suggested we try to get it one video. She had also at this point had a little shaking of one of her hands and feet when she was awake and not nursing..
So to make a really long story shorter... when we finally got a video and she would not stop shaking when I would try to swaddle her.. the doctors thought that to be more "seizure like" activity and immediately sent us to Vanderbilt Childrens ER.
This was the most miserible 24 hours for Chad and I. They poked at my sweet little angel and after many hours of testing.... found that she was healthy and her "seizure like" activity was a reflux issue and an immature nervous system that she will grow out of. The Neurologists are still concerned about her hand and feet episode but she has not done it since. So if that happens again we will have to go back but until then she has a check up with Vandy Neuro next month. Thank you to eveyone who were our prayer warriors and really helped Chad and I through this terrible ordeal. We hated to have to put her through all this... but we know she is healthy and ok. It was worth all the peace of mind.

I hope she does not remember any of this but we had to get a picture so she could see it.

There was a few funny things that happend while we were there. They hooked up the EEG machine with video to see her face while an episode happend. Well my mom came into visit us and when she did that is when I unleashed about how I thought that they had too many people (teaching hospital) asking the exact same questions and complained and complained and complained. Listen I was a nervous wreck and every time she cried  I was mad and ready to jerk her out of there. So yes, Vanderbilt it AMAZING but I was a mom who was scared and complaining saying very personal things about people like: the "neurologist was wearing a beer tshirt and smelled like BO"

WELL whoops when the EEG tech came in she informed me that everything that we were saying was on the video that the neurologist were listening to. WHOOPS. SO chad went out of the camera area started going on and on about how wonderful they were and would wink at my mom and I to try to back peddle our wrong doing. :)

my apologies doctors! we do appreciate all that you did for us. I hope you understand.

Henslee one week birthday

Dad, Sallie, and my brothers came in town to visit for her first weekend home. Sallie made my favorite cake for Henslee's 1 week birthday. ITS SO GOOD. We had the best time! Joshua got to hold her for the first time. (he is a senior in highschool and was not able to make it to Nashville he had football events). We ate yummy food. Dad and Sallie made us breakfast casseroles, filets, tomatoe pie, and left our refridgerator full of goodies when they left. Henslee enjoyed all the attention. Sallie came with some of the most precious outfits... you will all see those soon. I hope we have a lot of more weekends like this! We really had such a great time! Chad and I just feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and being able to share our favorite thing with all of them: Henslee :)
