36 Week Ultrasound

This is a view looking down on the baby's face. The picture is sideways so you will have to look closely to figure it out. Yes she looks a little like an alien now, but of course we think she is adorable. We are very anxious for her arrival!!


Here is an easier one to decipher. This is her profile. She has her lips all puckered up.

The Dr. says everything looks good and right on track. The baby weighs about 6lbs 10 oz at this time, and will probably gain about 1/2 lb every week until she arrives. We see the Dr. every week from now until the delivery. Tomorrow evening we get to go tour the hospital and turn in the forms necessary for quick processing when the time comes. We will keep you all informed.

I finish work a week from today, and then I will be home working my Mary Kay business, and getting ready for baby Jade. Check out my website www.marykay/melaniemitchell.com

Baby Jade Evelyn

I'm sure everyone is wondering about how things are coming with the baby. We are about 4 1/2 weeks away from the due date (February 18). She is getting huge you can see me in the picture below for proof :) I will try to put a side shot up soon, as she has expanded since Christmas. The child has definite personality, and is getting tired of her tight quarters :) Things seem to be going normal and both of us are healthy. Chad and I kind of expect her to make her appearance a little early.
This is the crib; it turns into a toddler bed, daybed, and then a full size bed.
This is the changing table/chest of drawers that matches the crib. Uncle Daniel & Aunt Amy came over one Saturday evening and helped us put both the pieces together. Daniel always enjoys that kind of thing, so we had dinner and an assembly party!

The Crazy Lefevre Family

We all went together this year and got Dad and Kay plane tickets to go out and see Everett. So of course we had to get Sarah on the phone since she was in on it. We had her on speaker phone. They LOVED it!! I'm not sure when they will be going out, as Sarah has just announced that they are expecting another baby in August.

Hello, everyone, so sorry that we have not updated in so long. Things have been crazy here.
This is my crazy family on Christmas day. Daniel can't open a gift without hamming it up:) of course that surprises none of you that know him. For those of you who have not yet met her, that is his wife Amy to his left. Bev was able to be home too.

A Merry Christmas

I hope this post finds all of our friends and family well, and that you had a wonderful Holiday. We had a wonderful Christmas. Of course we saw Chad's family; because the live in the area, but on Sunday night the 24th we drove out to Dad and Kay's place to spend Christmas day with them. Beverly rode out with us, and Daniel and Amy followed on Monday morning. It was a wonderful day! Daniel, Amy and Bev all had to work on Tuesday, so they came home on Monday night, but Chad and I stayed until about noon on Tuesday. It was nice to get to spend time with everyone. Of course we missed Sarah :(, but we called her on speaker phone. I have pictures of the day to post; however, I must get them off the camera so I will post them soon.

More later about the baby and preparation for her arrival!!
