Happenings!




Hey everyone! It's me, Rebecca! Once again, we've let too much time go by without updating our blog. I'm going to take a few minutes now to tell you what's been going on.




Spring Break was just a couple of weeks ago. Kyle and I, Ava, and a couple of great friends loaded up the van for a fun trip to Savannah, Georgia. We thought it was something new and exciting...and it was! We spent a couple of days walking on the Riverstreet exploring shops and getting samples of delicious treats, and we spent another day at the beach. That had to be our favorite day! Ava loved putting her feet in the sand, but didn't care for when she got splashed by the cold water. Although the day we went to the beach was cooler than the rest of the days, it was peaceful and nice to bask in the sun for several hours. We were sad to leave the beautiful city of Savannah and sad to get back to the real world of work, work, work.




While we were on our trip, Ava started saying Da Da and Ma Ma. She said Da Da first, and it is so sweet to hear it come from her mouth. She always has a smile on her face when she says our names and there is nothing like it in all the world. She rarely says Ma Ma unless she's eating green beans. Weird, huh?




Both Kyle and I are beyond ready for summer break. Spring Break was amazing and I can't wait to spend so much time with my husband and daughter for several weeks in a row. We're planning to spend some time in Texas with Kyle's sister and husband and we're really looking forward to that. My WKU class is exhausting, and I am taking two more courses this summer. Hopefully they won't be as bad as the one class I am taking now!




Ava got her six month pictures taken yesterday and I am so excited to get them back. The photographer showed us a few of them and they looked great. There are several of her wearing a big, fluffy pink tutu I made for her. These were the first pictures where she really captured lots of her personality and smiles. Oh, how I wish time would slow down. I can't believe how fast she's growing. She'll be dedicated at church on Mother's Day in a couple of weeks at 11:00. If you can, you should come out and see this exciting event!




Wow, I feel like this is the most random post I've ever done. Oh well, just wanted to keep you posted on what's going on with the Brooks Family! Enjoy the pictures of Ava and us at the beach!

My Lovely Baby Bump!

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each day. Even though I haven't gained any weight by the doctor's scale...it's definitely growing. There has been a request to see the baby bump, so here it is in all its glory! Enjoy! This is me today at 16 weeks.

The Week is Here!

We can't believe this is the week we will see our daughter. Some of you may be thinking, "What? How do you know? Your due date isn't even until next week!" Well, let me update those of you who may be thinking this. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to the doctor, hoping and praying that my body would be showing some progress towards having a baby. The doctor checked and informed us that the baby is still kinda high, and that I'm not 1 cm dilated, but I'm not 0 cm either. So she told us it was time to make a plan. Here's what she came up with. She said that if I am dilated 2-3 cm by this Wednesday, then she'll send me over to the hospital right then and start inducing me. But, if I'm not 2-3 cm then the following day, Thursday, she would do a c-section. She knew we were going to be on Fall Break and that we'd love to spend a couple of free extra days off with Ava so she said we could do it this week. She's going out of town on Fri...

January's Over.....What?!?

Where has the time gone? I can not believe January is just about over. Things have been crazy busy in our home, but still great nonetheless. Ava's getting so big! She's rolling over from back to belly and belly to back, she's playing with toys (her favorite is a monkey we named Milo), she's laughing and "talking" all the time; her personality is really starting to shine through. I can't believe our baby is going to be 4 months old in about a week. CRAZY! Other updates on our girl.....she's sleeping through the night, we were blessed that she started doing that at 6 weeks ( Babywise really helped with this!) She's getting rice cereal in two bottles a day during the week and she's also taking Prevacid . Both of these are because of her horrible reflux. They seem to be helping quite a bit. She spends the weekdays with our wonderful babysitter here at home and they love each other! In March she'll start going to daycare. I am a little nervous ...
