Just Another Celebrity

Brynn is like one of those celebrities that goes shopping with her dog in her purse and who poses for the paparazzi!!

This is her new smile. She likes to squint her eyes up and say "cheese", once I take the picture she asks if I am done or if I am going to take more!! What a ham she is!

A Busy Week

Our summer is off to a busy start! With a new baby, baptism, swim lessons, and lots of playing outside it is hard to keep up with everything that is going on!

Camdyn's baptism was on June 8th. Here our some pictures from baptism:
Wearing the same gown that Brynn wore for her baptism.

The sweet big sister giving her kisses.

The proud parents.


Brynn has started swim lessons. We go every monday for the next 11 weeks. Mommy is so lucky and gets to get in the pool and swim with her!! We just had our first class and Brynn did really well. She blew bubbles in the water, went under a few times, slid down a slide, kicked on a kickboard and much more! She has four other kids in her class with her and I am not joking when I say she is the only one who didn't scream or pitch a fit the whole class! Her instructor kept grabbing Brynn to help demonstrate...not because Brynn knew what to do but because she was the only kid who wouldn't start to cry! After swim class we both had to go home and take a nap. Here are some pics of Brynn modeling one of her many swim suits!



Brynn often thinks that Camdyn needs help swinging. She will go over to her swing and push it, sometimes a little rough or too high, and she will say "swing swing" or "weeeee". In this picture it looks like Brynn is up to something, doesn't it?


Camdyn is doing well and getting bigger everyday! We went to the doctor at her 4 week check-up and she weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces!! She has almost put on three whole pounds in a month. Obviously the girl does not miss a meal, trust me! In this picture she is wearing one of MY old dresses. Talk about vintage!!

And here is a picture of her taking a bath. She likes to be in the water and HATES when you take her out to dress her!


Here is another video of Brynn and Camdyn together. Of course when I don't have the camera on Brynn jabbers to her and does all these cute things, but when I pull the camera out she stops.


Brynn likes to run through her Pablo sprinkler, sometimes she gets thirsty and has to stop for a drink!

It's a GIRL!!

It's a GIRL!! Camdyn Hazel Currie is here!! She was born May 8 at 5:20am, weighing in at 6 lbs 15oz and 19 in long.

Here is our birth story:
As you know I was scheduled to be induced at 7am on May 8th, well I woke up at 1am to go pee. I got back in bed and was laying there and thought 'gosh my underwear is a little wet', did my water break or did I just pee or what?! I got up and sat on the toilet and then finally after about 10 minutes I started dripping....so I got dressed and woke Brent up. He was very confused since it was so early and when I told him my water broke he said "seriously? you're joking right?". By the time we got in the car I was having contractions every 5 minutes. We made it to the hospital at 2:15am, they were VERY busy and moving slow, I didn't get checked til 3am and I was 5cm dilated. I started having intense contractions closer together and she checked me 15 min later and I was 7cm!! I still didn't have an IV or anything and I was asking for an epi (which took awhile). I had to wait for my dr to get there (he was actually on call, I was so happy!) and I started to push at 5am. I pushed for 20 minutes and heard the words 'It's a GIRL', I was SO THRILLED!! Brent was of course crying, just like the last time. That should have been my first clue what a softie his girls make him!

We are home from the hospital and we are doing well, just trying to get settled in and catching up on our sleep! Camdyn is breastfeeding like a champ (way better than Brynn did), and Brynn is being a loving big sister.


Thanks for all your well wishes and thoughts!!

Fun in the Sun

We spend a lot of time outdoors and in this Texas heat we decided Brynn needed her own pool. There is a pool in the backyard at my Mom's, but the little pool will be nice when she wants to get in and I won't have to! We did sign her up for swim lessons starting in June, hopefully those go over well!

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

This baby's time is running out! I went to my dr appt today and I am 90% effaced and 3cm dilated. He said baby's head is really low and engaged and ready for birth. Sooooo whenever that will be!! He offered to induce me next week, since I am no dummy I took him up on it!! So I am giving this baby one more week to come out on it's own, otherwise I am taking it out by force! We scheduled the induction for Thursday May 8th. I was induced with Brynn and had a very pleasant experience, so hopefully everything goes just as smoothly. It is just so nice to know it will be happening soon. And as I am such the planner it is nice to be able to make some plans for Brynn and Brent. Since he doesn't have the luxury of an off-season like last time, he can plan on missing two days of school and then returning back to the academy the following Monday. And Dr. Hedges also told me he is leaving town starting May 11th and will be gone a whole week! He needs to be delivering my baby, not on vacation. Of course now that all these plans are made, the little one might just surprise us and come before.....but there is an end in sight! I am anxious to meet our son or daughter!

Here are some pictures of sisterly love:

Pucker up!

Awwww she looks so SWEET now.....let's see what she does when she actually sees the baby!!

Pink or Blue??

The results are in!! The final majority vote for the gender of this baby was: BOY. We shall see who is right and who is wrong very soon. We can't wait to find out!

And here is the most recent belly pic at 37+ weeks.

Kiddie Park

Kirby and Asher came into town to visit and we had lots of fun together. We took the kids to Kiddie Park, which is an amuesment park that we use to go to when we were little! Founded in 1925, it is the oldest and original children's amusement park in America. Yes it is old and looks a little run down, but we had a lot of fun and that's all that matters!! You all know how shy and reserved Brynn can be, but she didn't mind riding the rides by herself. I was very proud of Brynn for not being scared! The first ride she rode on she kinda whined at first but once it started moving she liked it. Her favorite rides were the airplanes and boats. Asher's favorite were the cars and airplanes. Kirby and I were only allowed to go on the carousel and helicopters with them, but that's okay because they both made me dizzy, especially the helicopters!!

The car ride was the first ride they went on.




Riding the horse, saying Yee-Haw!


They both liked the boat ride, although Asher kept standing up so his ride was cut short. They both leaned over and touched the water, but Asher was the one who then stuck his fingers in his mouth! The water probably hasn't been changed/cleaned since the park first opened in 1925--yummy!!




The airplane ride was a favorite, breezy and nice and quiet.




We had lots of fun at Kiddie Park!

34 weeks and counting!

Here is an update on baby #2: I had my doctor appointment and another ultrasound today to check the growth of the baby since I am measuring small and not gaining weight. Everything looks good and the baby is gaining weight and is about 4 lbs 12 oz. He/She has gained 2 lbs since my last ultrasound 6 weeks ago. I am still staying the same at 15 pounds total gained, but my doctor said he is not worried as long as the baby is growing. The baby's head is oh so low (which explains the constant peeing), so he said that could be why I am measuring small and because I am tall. He also gave me the go ahead to return to running--yay! Although after taking a few weeks off we'll see if that really happens! It was so amazing to get another peek at our little one!! He/She's legs were firmly closed so no surprises were revealed today. I could see some hair and it looks like he/she has a very nice set of lips on them! Oh and I was also told that the head is nice and round, which is what they said about Brynn too. So I am interested to meet this little one and see what they look like. Not too much longer!!

Recent Pictures

Hamming it up for the camera.

A recent picture of the Curries:

Brynn with her cousins on Easter Sunday. It is very hard to take a good picture of all of them! Those apples are good props to keep them still...but don't expect everyone to smile at the same time!

Does anyone see what is new in this picture?

I went back to my roots with my hair, darker and shorter. I was growing it out, but am just too impatient!

We recently went to college station and stayed with Kirby, Charlie, and Asher. Brynn and Asher had a lot of fun playing together.

I love this picture! It is too funny!

And by popular demand here are some recent belly shots:

As for Baby #2 update, we are getting closer with 7 more weeks to go. I am definitely getting to the point where I want to be done being pregnant! We go for another ultrasound next week to check his/her growth. I measured a little small at my last appointment so the Dr wants to take a look....but I think he/she is growing just fine!!

Big, wet, slobbery kisses to you all!

Easter Egg Hunt

The easter activities this year were more fun for Brynn than last year. NO we did not go see the easter bunny this year! I thought about it, but then I had a flashback of last year.............

Grandpa Harry thinks these pictures are funny and likes to laugh at them, obviously Brynn does not agree!

So needless to say we skipped the easter bunny this year and just stuck with the fun things!

Brynn really enjoyed hunting for easter eggs. Once she got the hang of it she was really good. She went for more of the 'hidden' eggs versus the ones just laying on the ground. Check out the video of our little egg hunter!
