HAPPY BIRTHDAY Addie!

April 26, 2008 (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDIE!!)

If there was ever an ultimate test of your patience, it would have to be the ever ticking time clock of pregnancy. I'm not even pregnant... nor have I ever even BEEN pregnant so I don’t even know what’s worse… being the mommy to be, or being the AUNT of your very first NIECE! I guess that’s a silly question, but I must admit that I was as much of a giddy fool as Christi was while we all waited for little Addison Grace to show her beautiful face. After nearly 9 months, the scheduled C-Section day had finally arrived and we all couldn’t have been more excited. Omar and Christi made it to the hospital on April 24...and Addie didn't arrive until April 26th at 1:07am weighing in at a very squeezable 9lbs 2 oz!! And although she did have to spend a week in the nicu being poked and prodded due to some minor complications, she's now a happy, healthy and ever growing 9 month old!! :) Here are a few pictures of her first few months...stay tuned for posts as she gets older!! She's such a DOLL now!!! :)

Taking Flight...

Being ever so diligent about keeping my outlook calendar up to date, I’m going to rely on it now to give you a quick run down of the last few FABULOUS months of my life…

March 30, 2008 Taking the leap! (LITERALLY)

So, aside from meeting my future hubby (Mr. Chad Kelley)…whom, I might add, I had yet to meet at this point, March 30th was the most THRILLING, death defying day of my entire life… and it was AMAZING!! On a whim, and completely lost of ALL my sensibilities, I decided to join my CRAZY co- workers SKYDIVING!!! I must have lost all my crackers that day… but boy was it a RUSH!! It was nothing like you would expect it to be. Here are a few pictures of my free fall!! WHEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

KISSES!!

WHHHEEEEEEE!!!

Look MA, NO HANDS!!

MADE IT! Whew!!

Every girls DREAM...

In an effort to catch everyone up on the happenings of my life for the past few months.. I'm going to back track a bit. Posting old blogs probably seems like a silly thing to do, but since I'm a creature of organization and need to see things labeled month by month, I find it helpful to just pretend I'm back in March typing this for the very first time. Let's see how much I can recall with my very very limited memory capabilities. :)
