Almost 2 months

Thought I would update our blog with a few pics of Tenley. She is getting so big. She is getting so much more aware of her surroundings and smiling all the time. I can't believe she is almost 2 months old. They do grow up so fast. Starting March 1 Kyle gets to become Mr. Mom on Mon, Tues, and Wed when I go back to work. I think he will do awesome. She just adores him. Enjoy the pics!

Here is Tenley playing on her mat and Tater thought it would be fun to join her. He likes to attack her legs from under the mat. It is hilarious. He was halfway under the mat this day but I didn't get the camera in time.

Getting ready to go on our first walk in the stroller. She slept thru the whole thing.

Showing off the Sioux gear. It is just a little big. It is only a 2T size.

Her Valentine outfit.


An outfit cousin Ayla from Omaha sent her.

We can't believe it but our little girl is already one month old. The time is already flying by. We are getting used to the multiple wakes during the night and sleeping when we can. As I promised here are some more pictures.

Here is Tenley sleeping on dad's chest

Here is Tenley's second bath. We had to get a pic of her slightly covered up.

This is her productive "tummy time". She fell asleep!

I know that it has been a while since we have updated our blog, but we have had an excuse the last three weeks. SHE IS FINALLY HERE! Tenley Rae Splonskowski. She was 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. Today she is three weeks old already. The days are going by so fast already. Here is one picture with lots more to come!

We had our first two week appointment last Thursday. Everything still looks great! I passed my glucose test and also my hematocrit and hemoglobin looked good.

Saturday we decided to go out and have some fun. We had some friends throw a little Halloween party.

Kyle decided it would be funny to make it look like Java was nursing the little kitties before I sewed them on my shirt.

This week we are off to North Dakota. We are hoping the weather is nice there for us. We are pretty spoiled here with 50-60 degree weather with it only cooling off to the 40's at night. We did have one afternoon of a few snowflakes falling, but nothing that would stay on the ground.

Week 28

We had our last monthly Dr. Appt yesterday and now we start to go every two weeks. We are now at week 28. I had to drink the yummy orange drink for the gluscose test and then get my blood tested for gestational diabetes and they also checked my hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. I was kind of scared of what it was going to taste like but I actually liked it (a lot). So many women try to say how bad it is but it wasn't. They were going to call today if there were any problems with my blood work, but I have not heard from anyone so all must be great! My belly is mearsuring at 30 inches and her heartbeat was 140 bpm. Margie said everything looks great. We will see her one more time before we make our trip to ND. We are getting pretty excited to go back, minus seeing any snow while we are there. Hope you all are doing great.

25 Weeks down, 15 to go!

We are now 25 weeks along and only have 15 to go! We are both excited and getting nervous at the same time. We had another apointment today and everything looked great. My belly grew 5 inches in the last 4 weeks. You can actually tell that I am pregnant now instead of just looking like I was getting chunkier. We have another appointment in three weeks where I get to drink that yummy drink and take the glucose test. After that we start to have appointments every two weeks. She is a kicking machine and likes to move around a lot in the morning and when I get home from work. We will try to keep you all updated with the latest and greatest as the weeks go by but once November hits things are going to go by quick I think with traveling back to the Dakotas and the holidays following. Take care.

Sorry it has been quite a while since our last post. Without having an actual child to take pictures of and things to tell you about her there just isn't a lot to post about right now. We have been keeping pretty busy with work and resting. I can't believe it, but we only have 15 1/2 weeks to go before our bundle of joy will be here! The time has been flying by. Once the holidays hit I am sure the time will go by even faster. We are heading home to Jamestown Nov 5th-11th. We are both looking forward to traveling home for pleasure instead of a tragedy for once. Hopefully the weather will be nice to us since we are not used to that cold weather they have there. We will have to remember to pack a coat and maybe some gloves. We do have an appointment for the baby this week on Thursday so we will update you again then. Take care all and we will be seeing you soon.
