Well, I had my doctor's appointment the other day and everything went fine. The only thing they did was listen to the heartbeat, which sounds strong and healthy, and measure me. I have 1 more appointment between now and the BIG ultrasound appointment. I can't wait to see how much the baby has grown. I can definetly feel it moving around already and I'm actually showing a lot more now than I did with Olivia at this point. I'll be putting up pictures after this weekend.

Incase anyone did not get my email about my address change, my new email is rpjarrell@yahoo.com

Hi everyone...I just wanted to update on what's going on with us. Kevin is doing wonderful in the Academy, making A's and B's. He has also been named Class President! We couldn't be more proud of him! Olivia is growing so fast! She is talking up a storm. She's so smart and has the best memory for a 1 year old! She can repeat just about anything you say, she can start her ABC's by singing "A, B, B"..we're working on "A, B, C". :) She had her 15 month check up last week. She weighs 22 lbs 9 oz, and 31 1/4" tall. She's in the middle percentile for her weight and the 80th percentile for her height in her age group. We took Olivia to the Shrine Circus on saturday and she had a really good time! We went with another couple and their 2 year old little boy. She loved watching the tigers, clowns, dogs and the lights. She loves being outside, riding on her tri-cycle and playing with the dogs. She even feeds them at night and helps us give them water. Oh yeah, that's another update....we got another dog! Her name is Savannah, she is a full-blooded black lab and she is 5 years old. We got her from a couple that lives in my hometown. She is a GREAT dog and loves to hunt and retrieve. She has even taught Abigail how to jump off our pier into the lake to retrieve a ball. I am still getting sick in the mornings, but I have medicine that helps a lot so that I can keep up with Olivia...the little energizer bunny. I have another doctor's appointment on the 25th, so I'll update about that next week. Right now I am 14 weeks...time is flying! I'll be putting up pictures of the circus, Savannah and some other things in the next couple of days!

Introducing Baby Jarrell....

Here's the little butter bean coming in at 11 weeks now. It's hard to see on these pictures but you can kinda see the arms and legs if you look really hard. We have decided that we are not going to find the sex out. We want it to be a surprise like Olivia was! :)

Sorry I have not posted in a while. Our computer was struck by lightening and we are just now getting around to setting up our new one. My doctor's appointment went great wednesday. I am actually seeing a midwife for this pregnancy. They did an ultrasound and I am 10 weeks, which makes my due date March 22, 2008. I got to hear the heartbeat, which was 167, so it's healthy and strong. Very exciting and not too far away! We still can not decide if we are going to find out the sex of this one or not. I will be able to put up my ultrasound pics hopefully tomorrow or Sunday. My next doc appointment is September 24, so I'll keep everyone updated.

Just thought that I would make a post.....there isn't really anything new with us. All three of us are battling colds right now which is awful with 110 degree weather! I have my good days and bad days with the pregnancy sickness. I feel like I'm starting to show a little bit so I'm thinking I could be as far as 8-10 weeks, but who knows! I just know it's taking FOREVER for August 29 (my doc's appointment) to get here! Kevin starts the academy on the 28th, so he has been trying to prepare for that. Well, my camera is still broken so once it is fixed I'm sure I'll be posting left and right on here....until then, I'll post if anything new happens! :)

We're Pregnant!!!

That's right....Baby number 2 is on the way! Shocked?! Yes, we were too, but we are excited and know that everything is going to be just fine. Olivia is wearing her "I'm a Big Sister" shirt in the pictures below...that's how she was going to surprise Daddy, but of course he never payed any attention to it. The doctor's appointment is August 30, so I will put up more details after that. I can say that I guess this pregnancy is repeating the first with Olivia because I have been VERY sick! We'll keep you posted!

I thought I'd share some randoms with everyone since I've been bad about not posting lately. Olivia was such a big helper for me today...she helped me wash dishes. Water seems to be her favorite thing in this world, so if it makes her happy, she can play in it as long as she wants! She washed her bottle and nipple for about 30 minutes and somehow didn't get water everywhere! I made a little video too....

Showing everyone that she's 1
Time to wash dishes!
This is so much fun!
Scrub, scrub, scrub!

While we were in Texas, we were able to see Kevin's best friend that he grew up with, Jacob, and his family. Jacob and Lesley have a little boy, Braeden, that is only a few days younger than Olivia. They had a good time playing except whenever Olivia gets excited she screams and that seemed to upset Braeden a lot, but other than that they had fun!

Our Texas Trip

Here are pictures from our Texas trip at the beginning of July. Sorry it has taken me so long to put them up. We had a great time seeing Kevin's family! Olivia loved playing with her cousins, especially poking at the baby! Hope you enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS DADDY!!!!!!!!!!

We are SO SO SO PROUD of Kevin! He has just been offered a job with the Columbus Police Department! This is what he has wanted since he has gotten out of the military so you know he is tickled pink right now! He will start at the end of July so everyone please keep him in your prayers as he goes out to serve and protect, once again!

Off To The Beach We Go.....

Olivia and I are heading off to the beach today with my sister and her family. Needless to say I won't be updating this for a couple of weeks. We are staying at the beach until Friday, then when we come back we are all heading to Texas to visit Kevin's family. We can't wait to see them! So...we will have LOTS of pictures to post when we come back from all of our fun trips!

Here are more birthday pictures!

Having fun outside in the pools!
The older kids were having a blast in the big pool...you can see Anna Claire's legs up in the air as she slides down backwards!
