Jacey-Kate had her first college visit this past weekend. We had so much fun in B'ham and Tuscaloosa visiting old friends for Homecoming and Kara's cheer reunion. Aunt Yumi spoiled Jacey-Kate with a cute new sweater dress, tights and piggy bank. Thanks Yumi!!! Roll Tide!

13 Weeks or 3 Months
Jacey-Kate has really surprised us with all her new talents lately. On her 3 month birthday, she decided she'd shock mommy and sleep 12 hours! 7:45pm-7:45am and I woke-up in a panic wondering why she wasn't ready to eat again. :-) Actually, I hear I'm quite lucky because Jacey-Kate has been sleeping 8-10 hours the past 2 1/2 weeks. I should thank the rice cereal and baby oatmeal for her new sleeping habits.
Russ and I are surprised every day because she'll do something new. Giggling is just adorable and the baby talk is too cute. A few week ago we went in to get her up and she had rolled herself over in her crib. She's such a big girl!! We are loving every minute of being parents. It's hard to believe that you can love someone so much, but it's a completely different love than I have ever experienced. Loving Jacey-Kate like I do gives me a glimpse of how the Lord loves us. I'm blown away at that thought. Enjoy the pics!

10 Weeks
Jacey-Kate had an exciting 10th week of life. She went to an assisted living home to hang out with some fun older folks, attended a party in her honor with the women of Serenbe, and she even slept through the night. She continues to make her Mommy and Daddy proud!

My Great Grandma's 95th Birthday
Those of you who know Grandma Faye will really enjoy looking at these pictures. She had not met Jacey-Kate before yesterday, so her 95th birthday party was very special. Grandma's birthday wish was to live for 5 more years! We all hope that will be possible and loved spending time with her yesterday. It was really nice to have all of dad's side of the family together again.
Jacey-Kate enjoyed being held and cuddled with yesterday. She was really interested in her cousin, Luke. He wasn't quite sure what to think of the little baby, but was really excited about the doggie. The birthday party must have worn little Jacey-Cakes out because she fell asleep around 9:30 and didn't wake up until 6:15 this morning! YEA for Jacey-Cakes!!!! YEA for mommy getting to sleep 7 straight hours. :-)

My Favorites at 2 Months
I can't believe Jacey-Cakes is 2 months old! Our sweet daughter weighs 11 lbs. 8.5 oz and she's in the 90th percentile for her height. We were told that her height should take on her parents' genes by the time she's 2. So much for her being tall!!! Here's a slideshow of Jacey-Kate's favorite things to do as a 2 month old. Hope you enjoy!

Football...Finally!!!!
We are all so excited that Labor Day Weekend finally arrived. :-)
Jacey-Kate enjoyed her first football games! We had a lot of fun with Annie and were really happy to see her. It had been too long!
Good thing both of Jacey-Kate's teams won. Roll Tide and go Buckeyes!!!

Jacey-Kate's Surgery
Russ and I are so happy today is over with and so appreciative of all the prayers and well wishes from friends and family. We were definitely comforted by the support and encouragement we received. After the OR nurse took Jacey-Kate out of my arms to go to surgery, we walked downstairs to get a cup of coffee. I brought a book I'm reading with me and the name of the chapter that I read this morning was "To Experience God's Peace". I love it when He does stuff like this...the scripture at the beginning of the chapter was 2 Thess. 3:16 which says "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you." How cool is that?
Last night before we kissed Jacey-Kate good night, we talked about how everyone else has been anxious and freaked out about her surgery, but we've had a total peace about it. I won't lie, before the nurse took her from me, and as she walked away with my baby, my heart just sunk in my chest and I realized how little control I had over this situation. (Not that I thought I had any control to begin with) I'm so thankful that God gives us the strength we need to make it through each day.
Jacey-Kate's surgery took 35 minutes, she was back in our room by 9:10 and nursing immediately. We were initially planning to spend the night, but we were released around noon today. She has done really well and has slept for most of the day. Dr. Burstein did great work from what we can tell so far. Her steri-strips should fall off within 7-10 days, so I'll be sure to post pics of her nose once they come off. The pictures below are super cute! Before and after shots as well as her little surgery gown and hospital/recovery gown that we got to bring home. There's also a picture of Jacey-Kate after mommy gave her the first dose of antibiotic. You won't miss it! Thanks again for praying for our little girl and for us. We love you and appreciate you. :-)
