Nuttall update

I went to the doctor yesterday for my regular check up and just wanted to let you know that everything is progressing well with the baby. She weighs about 5.9 pounds and is very active. Her weight puts her a week before my due date of 8/8/08. She is gaining it so fast. I can't believe how fast she can gain weight in 2 weeks!!!! I feel like my ribs are a xylophone. Her head is down and she is ready to come in about 5 weeks (that is up to my due date), but she may make an early appearance like her sister ( I can only pray).

Carlie is still excited about being a big sister, but I think that might change when Maddie finally comes to play. She has asked me several times if we are borrowing her like we do when I watch Chase for Nikki. I don't think she quite gets that this is for keeps, but oh well. I know that she will be a big helper when she realizes that Maddie is ours forever.

On a side note, Carlie is becoming quite the funny little kid. Yesterday she was a Nik's while I went to my appointment. They were watching a cartoon called Phineas and Ferb on the Disney Channel and Carlie started to sing along with the theme song. Nadya looked at her and asked Carlie if she had seen the cartoon before and Carlie replied with an innocent "oh just once". She is funny little kid. She comes up with the funniest things to say that make me stop and wonder where she came from. The other day Jon and I were discussing a matter quite heatedly and Carlie looked at me and said, " Audrie, just calm down". I couldn't stop laughing. She has obviously been around me to much.

Well, everything is great on our end. If anyone wants some peas, beans, squash, pumpkins, honeydew, cantelope, corn, tomatoes, peppers, or whatever else is in my garden, come help yourself. There will be plenty for everyone.

Love you all!!!!
