Raven!

Our sweet baby Raven was born November 12, 2010. My blood pressure had been high and when I went to my doctor it was even higher so he sent me to a high risk pregnancy doctor who sent me to the hospital. At the hospital they ran some tests and diagnosed me with pre-eclampsia and decided to take Raven immediately. She was breech so they went ahead and delivered her by c-section. She was born about 3 weeks early but is healthy as can be! She was born 5lbs 12oz and 19in long.

Here's some pictures of her bedroom.

It's a girl!!

Myrtle Beach Vacation

At the beginning of June we went to Myrtle Beach for some fun in the sun!


Our breakfast everyday consisted of a healthy portion of Dunkin Donuts.



It rained briefly one night on our walk back from the ice cream shop.


We couldn't resist ordering room service one night. Delicious pizza, salad and sprite!


On our last night there we went to Planet Hollywood for dinner.


After Planet Hollywood we went putt-putting at a Peter Pan themed mini golf course. I'm making an awful face in this picture because I actually felt pretty awful. I some how acquired pink eye in both eyes and it was just starting to manifest itself. I also got a UTI that night and was quite miserable until thankfully my doctor called me in some meds at a 24 hour pharmacy, otherwise the trip home would have been quite miserable. Regardless, Mikel and I tied at mini golf!

Regardless of my medical conditions the last night we had a lot of fun!

Before and After

Finally, after being in the house now for almost a year, I've decided to post the before and after pictures. There is still a lot to do, but now that our floors aren't all nasty and the house isn't pink, it's livable!
