Officially a family of 4!!!

Hello all,
I know it's been a few weeks since Adree was born and i am terribly sorry it has taken this long to post a blog! We are just so in love with our kids that it hard to get away from them! Anyways as you all know our little Adree is HERE! Awwww such a great feeling to not be pregnant anymore and to have my little girl in my arms! Adree was born 12 days early, I went into the doctors for my 38 week check up and my doctor noticed in a ultrasound that my fluids were really low, so she sent me directly over to labor and delivery to induce me right then! It was crazy, I went into that appointment hoping she would set a induction date for the following week and she ended up sending my directly over to L&D! I was admitted on 8/31 and they started the process, by they next day I was having contraction every 2-3 minutes but they were not painful just very uncomfortable, so the doctor ended up breaking my water that night at 7:00pm and within 10 minutes of her doing that I went into active labor, I was 3cm before and by 7:30 I was 8. After I got my epidural I felt so much better and tried to relax, everything we fairly fast, I probley could have started pushing at around 8:30 or so but the doctor wanted me to wait for the baby to bare down so I would not have to do as much work. By ten that night I was totally ready to push and the nurse had be do a practice push and after I had just pushed one time she told me to stop and had to call the doctor in! The doctor came a little later and I pushed maybe 6 times and Adree Brooke Lowrey was born! 09-01-09 at 11:05pm, weighting 6lbs and 19inches long! She is a healthy and beautiful little addition to our family and Brandon, Brayden and I feel very blessed to have her! Hope you enjoy all the pics!!!!!!
Brayden is loving being a big brother and has done surprisingly well, he has to give her a kiss before every nap bedtime every night, its really sweet!

Adree's Baby Shower!!!

2009-08-03T15:13:00.000-07:00

Yes the time has already come and gone, we just had my baby shower which means we are getting down to the last 6 weeks! Today I am 34 weeks 2 day prego, and it is starting to get hard! I am having back pains every few hours along with a list of other fun new things that I never experienced when I was pregnant with Brayden. Tomorrow I have my doctors appointment, so we will see what my doctor has to say and hopefully we come up with some kind of plan! Brandon, Brayden and I are looking forward to meeting little Adree and could not be happier! Saturday was my baby shower and it was amamzing, we are lucky to have such great friends and family to celebrate with. Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

A Happy Happy 2nd Birthday to our big boy Brayden

2009-07-07T13:41:00.000-07:00

Wow, 2 years and come and gone already and our once upon baby boy has grown into a toddler! I feel like yesterday we were holding him in our arms, trying to get him to crawl, walk and talk, and now here he is talking up a storm, telling us what and what not to do and here we are chasing after him everywhere! Brayden is so Special to us and has grown into such a little boy! We can't wait to continue watching him grow, teaching him new things, and giving him all the love we can! We started Brayden's birthday celebration all weekend long, and boy was he spoiled!!! Sunday the 5th we had a friends and family party, He had a Cars theme cake, a ton of food and Brayden really dug in a opened all his presents, he really enjoyed everything that was given to him! Here are some of our favorite Pictures from the party!

These pictures below are from Brayden's actual Birthday! July 6th, 2009

Wanted to share a couple a recent photos taken over the past few weeks.
This first photo is Brayden and I listening to his baby sisters heartbeat, so cute when he put the headphones on and heard noise he would start to giggle then put them on to hear again!

This last weekend Brandon and I took Brayden out to enjoy the Sunshine at Blue Lake. Its about a 40 minute drive from home and has so much you can do there, Brayden was to small for some of the stuff and enjoys to sit back and people watch.... But we still had a great time and all were able to play in the sun!

Zoo days and Brayden Plays!!!

2009-06-18T21:12:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the Zoo with all my at home mom friends and all of Brayden's Girlfriends.
Thought I would share some of the cute pictures off all of them together! We have not decided if they are girlfriends or best friends, I think he has a few of each!

Oregon Coast Aquarium

We thought Brayden would really enjoy going and seeing all the sea life they have at the Aquarium, so we took him last Sunday before we left to come home from the beach. He kept saying "fish!" All in all it was a good time and worth taking him there, as he gets older the funner it will be. Brandon and I both got to touch baby eels and mini sharks! Enjoy the pictures, our favorite part was call the Deep blue underground sea, and it was really cool, you walk through all glass and see all kinds of things such as fish and sharks!

Happy Anniversary Baby!!!

2009-06-18T18:05:00.000-07:00

Brandon and I just celebrated our 2nd Anniversary on June 14th! It has been an amazing 2 years of marriage with many more to come. Last year Brandon and I went to Lincoln City and Celebrated, and this year we decided that we had so much fun that we would do it again! This time we headed out to Newport Beach and took Brayden along with us! We had such a fun time together as a family, we checked into our Hotel room which was amazing...we had a jacuzzi tub in the room and a patio that overlooked the beach. We were lucky and had such nice weather so we were really able to let Brayden enjoy going out and playing on the beach. Here is a picture of our room :
When we arrived we checked in and then went straight to the beach, Brayden went crazy and the beach was his playground! This was his first time at the beach where he could really play and enjoy the beach, every time we would leave he would make sure he said "bye bye water" it was very cute! We had a delicious seafood dinner that night with our very naughty boy who didn't seem to want to sit through dinner, which is a very normal thing for him as of right now, but we got through it and went on with our night all hanging in the jacuzzi tub. The night ended with Brayden sleeping the a big boy bed we made with the couch and Brandon kicking my butt at some games! The next morning it was room service which included blueberry pancakes and a beautiful ocean view from our room, this way we didn't have to worry about Brayden in a restaurant! We ended our day at the beach with taking Brayden to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, which was so fun to see. There was sea life everywhere! I will post our best pictures below!!!!

Thought I would post a blog to show you the progress of the growing belly! This pregnancy is so different from when I was pregnant with Brayden. I have not gained as much, but yet have so many more back pains! Brandon is doing an amazing job of taking care of every craving, want and need that I have. I am the luckiest woman! Not only does he see me getting bigger but still calls me beautiful, when my back is in pain he is up to get me a ice pack or heating pad, and most important when I have a craving no matter the time he is there to serve it to me. We have 12 weeks our less then get to meet our baby girl!!! For those of you who don't know she will be named Adree Brooke Lowrey. Brandon pretty much pick the name and I "modified" it :) We are expecting her HOPEFULLY before September 13th which is my due date, but as long as she is healthy she will come when she is good and ready! But Cross your fingers for us that I don't go late this time around! Enjoy the pictures and watch her grow!
