I took a look and boy is she right, Maisey's first birthday, Anneliese's birth, Growing up, Friends, Family...so much has happened so let me introduce you to the last few (or 9) months!<br />
<br />
June 9, 2010...Maisey is 1!<br />
<br />
Holy Cow...I have always heard people say that time flies, but this has never been so true than when Maisey came into our life. It seems like everyday she is getting bigger, learning something new and finding new ways to make us smile. For her birthday celebration we decided to take her to the Zoo for some morning fun and then after a little nap, we went to the park to celebrate a little more. Looking back, I can't believe how small she was!<br />

Another love comes into Maisey' life. You scream...I scream...Maisey screams for Ice Cream....Really...if she see's it and doesn't get some, she has a little fit. I think that Ice Cream comes in a close second to her favorite, Chocolate!<br />

Look who is getting better at feeding herself. Yeah, she still isn't the cleanest of eaters and she definitely still prefers her hands to any utensil, but she is getting much better at using big girl utensils!<br />

We all know that summers in Arizona are hot, but when a kid is ready for fun it doesn't matter how hot, cold or wet it is. Here are a couple of our favorite things to do in the summer.<br />

And then there were two! We always wondered how it would be possible to love a second child as much as we love our little Maisey, but then came Anneliese and instantly that love was expanded. We have been blessed with two beautiful, playful girls who constantly bring smiles to our faces :o)<br />

Brian and I have a dream of one day owning something on the beach but, for now, we are just happy getting a chance to get away and spend time with the family. This year we decided to have two parts to our trip. First, we went up to Anaheim to hit the beach and Disneyland with the Brian's fam and then we took just us and Maisey down to San Diego to go to Sea World and have our first us only vacation time in a few years. Other than some minor mishaps...Maisey and Daddy getting food poisening from Sea World (we think it was the eggs)....everything was wonderful!

Kim and I are excited to introduce you to Anneliese Rae Vehon! We thank God everyday for the blessing of Maisey and we look forward to becoming a family of four and welcoming another beautiful baby girl into the Vehon clan. We thank you all for your love, support and prayers over the past years and we are super stoked to be able to share our growing family with you in the future. Look for Anneliese's arrival in early to mid November.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-423452301407549892010-06-08T21:07:00.003-07:002010-06-08T21:51:35.306-07:00Last Few Hours<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfJLrqn1Blj2oruW9FTuejMAwaKm7CDmq1K4bHQw6Egcv491hTjvkk6G14HhHcWzGOOWUyepXjPUspNREmKsmhPkMbKjnVDPDUz6rvfbXU7FwiJpt6sUcO1OuFP40p9Ce5Zwrd9YSYhrTk/s1600/IMG_0602.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480621762795200546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfJLrqn1Blj2oruW9FTuejMAwaKm7CDmq1K4bHQw6Egcv491hTjvkk6G14HhHcWzGOOWUyepXjPUspNREmKsmhPkMbKjnVDPDUz6rvfbXU7FwiJpt6sUcO1OuFP40p9Ce5Zwrd9YSYhrTk/s320/IMG_0602.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Yes, I'm that mom. When Maisey let's me rock her, I cuddle her too tight and cry as I ask her not to grow up too fast. When I had to pack up her 0-3 month clothes, I cried because my baby was growing up before my eyes . Switching her to a bottle full time was hard for me as it marked yet another mile-stone in her life that brings the inevitable--mommy will be needed less and less. </div><div> </div><div>It's hard to believe that in a little over two hours I will be the mom of a one year old. Even though I'm so incredibly proud of her and enjoy every day getting to see who she is (who God has specially made her to be), it seems like just yesterday I met her for the first time. I remember the first time I got to see her and was unsure what to think-this real being laid in my arms and I couldn't believe it was true. I always knew I wanted to be a mom but, even at that moment, I didn't understand how big of a gift it really would be to get to be a mom.</div><div> </div><div>Over the last month, I keep reliving the first few moments and days of Maisey's life and am so grateful all over again; to God for giving me the gift of Maisey, the gift of my own life, and the gift of getting to carry life again. To my friends and family for loving us and loving Maisey through the challenges and immense joy and to my husband, Brian, who I look at and still can't believe loves me as much as he does. </div><div> </div><div>To my beautiful daughter, I love you more than any words can express and am so thankful that God gave me you. There is not one thing about you I would change. I love that you know exactly what you want and you make sure we know it too. I love that your daddy makes you laugh in ways I will probably never be able to. I love that you are starting to figure out how to pull your daddy's heart strings--you are a smart one Maisey Ann. Use it for good. I love that you give the greatest looks--dirty looks and all. I love your many different laughs and the way you scrunch up your face and blow your nose when your in a playful mood. I especially love that, first thing after you wake up, you giggle when I come to get you and cuddle so tightly when I pick you up. I still just can't believe how much love it is possible to feel for such a little person. Thank you, God, for trusting me with your child. --Love, Mommy</div><div> </div><div> </div>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-67840634393515619382010-05-22T20:28:00.009-07:002010-05-24T14:54:14.667-07:00It's been awhile.....<div style="text-align: center;">So I am definitely not as good at updating the blog as I wish I was. While I will try to do better about updating more frequently, I make no guarantees :o) Well time has flown by and we are now three weeks away from celebrating Maisey's birthday. I know that everyone always says that time flies, but holy cow....time freakin' flies! It seems like only yesterday we were bringing Maisey home and now we are baby proofing the house as she gets ready to walk. <br /><br />Since she is growing up right before our eyes, we wanted to capture her as she sleeps peacefully. She loves to cuddle with her Maisey doll that Aunt Jen got her.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgeDzTQnEcCi2-VO2SUTmZ517xo9d3iM_fSzOYDb_82uCQ17QUMWRTjyNj9yzyGKcfROw20YTVPBl9RC1ub41yrP4C5d5XZXadCpwU5idPjHFwuwjCSGhn2od5abuvR__rIMmDMEcr3TX-/s1600/IMG_1336.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgeDzTQnEcCi2-VO2SUTmZ517xo9d3iM_fSzOYDb_82uCQ17QUMWRTjyNj9yzyGKcfROw20YTVPBl9RC1ub41yrP4C5d5XZXadCpwU5idPjHFwuwjCSGhn2od5abuvR__rIMmDMEcr3TX-/s320/IMG_1336.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474947336137577106" border="0" /></a>Earlier in the year we got the chance to head up to Happy Jack and spend the weekend with the Celaya's and Cassaday's.

I am still going to try to get better at that, but for now I figured that I would share with you what has happened since out last update.<br /><br />Gearing up for the Christmas season is always fun, and always busy at Central. Since Kim joined the staff a while ago, it was really easy to go and hang out with here whenever she had vocal rehearsal, auditions, a video shoot, or whatever. Now that Maisey is here, she gets dragged along to join in on the fun. Here, Maisey is hanging out at her first video shoot with mom for Centrals impact video. She was a real trooper!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqnYuMBClMTJctN2d4BDyr8pdd3BtI27EGWqMoLNWcvoxZzqlvq3CCzHalVfy_-rUJzzqsv6Yhlq_zLAxaJ7FcA2JqjdceIuHsQ5P7wdtWNLcD-PNIBIXUggZqoW_BeHtMSVIMId8of3FI/s1600-h/IMG_1008.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqnYuMBClMTJctN2d4BDyr8pdd3BtI27EGWqMoLNWcvoxZzqlvq3CCzHalVfy_-rUJzzqsv6Yhlq_zLAxaJ7FcA2JqjdceIuHsQ5P7wdtWNLcD-PNIBIXUggZqoW_BeHtMSVIMId8of3FI/s320/IMG_1008.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441265641489010530" border="0" /></a><br />Since what seems like Maisey's birth, Kim has been wanting to get Maisey's ears pierced. I admit that I was very hesitant in getting to holes punched in my little girls head, but at the six month mark I decided that it wasn't worth it to fight it anymore, so for Maisey's six month birthday she got to get her pretty little ears pierced :o/<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghaDl0YeSJj2NY32U-O5qnmvJ7-Itv7xLgShst0zzi9TfaZouT4Zj91rHcOXPPc2BYkVbt-YAr2IwpiKZxnbSclnbD_4oGU79hlNPcKFWlP2mQXrUjUbxDU9BudYltv8OuORqh1QETgiqb/s1600-h/IMG_0998.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghaDl0YeSJj2NY32U-O5qnmvJ7-Itv7xLgShst0zzi9TfaZouT4Zj91rHcOXPPc2BYkVbt-YAr2IwpiKZxnbSclnbD_4oGU79hlNPcKFWlP2mQXrUjUbxDU9BudYltv8OuORqh1QETgiqb/s320/IMG_0998.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441265626622340786" border="0" /></a>As some of you may know, about 2 years ago Kim and I decided to get a Newfoundland puppy. What at the time was a 35 lb. puppy has turned into a 130 lb. puppy that we have been trying to introduce with Maisey.

This week, December 9th to be exact, our baby girl turns six months old! I just can't believe it! Here are some of the special moments from the last few months. I hope you enjoy sharing them with us!<br /><br />I believe that in our last post, we had just returned from Maisey's first trip which was a long weekend in San Diego with Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Dustin and cousins Quin and Gage. Of course while at Sea World, Grandpa had to buy Maisey a souvenir. Below is Maisey sportin' the Sea World hat that went with a complete outfit that Grandpa bought her.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeOaD55fqLkEMN2cehDNHef7z7T4JP7i5RPjBuxJKS_btoaDfLqdljhIAiPONOTSN1kY-8j_KI9JweQTMJ2DLTTq5NN7lEsQq3hAwStB6UNp3XhHkNZdnMyuYm4jDDZgoQrDnLaXDYKWL/s1600-h/IMG_0827.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeOaD55fqLkEMN2cehDNHef7z7T4JP7i5RPjBuxJKS_btoaDfLqdljhIAiPONOTSN1kY-8j_KI9JweQTMJ2DLTTq5NN7lEsQq3hAwStB6UNp3XhHkNZdnMyuYm4jDDZgoQrDnLaXDYKWL/s320/IMG_0827.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411970061655626018" border="0" /></a>With Kim workin' at church and life seeming to fly by faster than we can imagine, Maisey always gets taken along for the ride. This weekend was a little too much fun for her. She decided to completely crash. Fortunately for us, it was a perfect, cute photo op!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjBun6j5ea0HOA9ZEDf8L6FXyqTIBxQS5zHpz_XjT-jrzuA1WGuqiV_-0BiMffm-JZVn8ccuEJ3dm7t33-0UHukBPTI9P91Z-cqGm04BRaC3vFN4ZgqZks1aJ13ls5IHojhHlqgj2Ic1IV/s1600-h/IMG_0888.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjBun6j5ea0HOA9ZEDf8L6FXyqTIBxQS5zHpz_XjT-jrzuA1WGuqiV_-0BiMffm-JZVn8ccuEJ3dm7t33-0UHukBPTI9P91Z-cqGm04BRaC3vFN4ZgqZks1aJ13ls5IHojhHlqgj2Ic1IV/s320/IMG_0888.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411960174710690658" border="0" /></a>One of the things that I love the most about being a parent and watching Maisey grow up is when she gets to meet her new friends. Below is the first time that Maisey met Madelyn. Here, the papas got to show of their girls. I think that Josh is lovin' being a dad. Kim and Jen are going to be having a play date soon with our friends Pauline and Allison, so i'm sure that there will be some good friends pictures soon to come!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUouo9EYu7h6ALF8QCDHqMSisNKQLgb_f6ZBUeBORq43VXkgSEsQW-jEkLqsH5MDxO9hf-pvYcbcWusdoYA_bTSIvd4hPiW6oUXDksZAvOYuJXF1HdmclRriLEh0wjENSv_M18S2H5Fu8L/s1600-h/IMG_0841.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUouo9EYu7h6ALF8QCDHqMSisNKQLgb_f6ZBUeBORq43VXkgSEsQW-jEkLqsH5MDxO9hf-pvYcbcWusdoYA_bTSIvd4hPiW6oUXDksZAvOYuJXF1HdmclRriLEh0wjENSv_M18S2H5Fu8L/s320/IMG_0841.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411978282407480338" border="0" /></a><br />As parents, me and Kim have realized the importance of values. One of our values that we hold true to is a commitment to the Maroon and Gold. Here is Maisey taking in her first ASU football game. You can see a proud Grandpa in the background. It was so fun watching her that night. She literally stayed up nearly all but the last minute of the game. Now we just need to instill some more biblical values like Revelations 21:8, "Liars go to Tucson" :o)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQrMcxV3PoDRyd0HdQeuoOq-gP8fuEz23ALOGQk34ls4FLdqSPoc29KRZnHlYUmwPAWFpX1chCgqcJtcj6L-D4oDE8dpn09TT-lfWpxvs06oxaQLdalmM7oaOySwX35Ui_mKugRXWUvK7E/s1600-h/IMG_0930.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQrMcxV3PoDRyd0HdQeuoOq-gP8fuEz23ALOGQk34ls4FLdqSPoc29KRZnHlYUmwPAWFpX1chCgqcJtcj6L-D4oDE8dpn09TT-lfWpxvs06oxaQLdalmM7oaOySwX35Ui_mKugRXWUvK7E/s320/IMG_0930.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411974868800433986" border="0" /></a>One Friday, we were lucky to have Grandma Bev stop by to hang out a little and love on Maisey.

It is a lot more time consuming that I thought it would be. Since then she has had some sweet potatoes (as you can also see below) as well as bananas. This girl likes her food!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyhw6tv5B0kNT6tLLlwcGHpZESJ6L1hhbN_f9b5F0FTDm9GMMzkOveIY5-2bindl71S31QoSmWLOhRAEOVcsymMYByspJOPEjWIhlSEXq2eV5PniFpki00PTxCcqL7_vV4yVCkkpy8KBG/s1600-h/IMG_0885.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyhw6tv5B0kNT6tLLlwcGHpZESJ6L1hhbN_f9b5F0FTDm9GMMzkOveIY5-2bindl71S31QoSmWLOhRAEOVcsymMYByspJOPEjWIhlSEXq2eV5PniFpki00PTxCcqL7_vV4yVCkkpy8KBG/s320/IMG_0885.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411961800813171106" border="0" /></a><br />Since we first loved Maisey, one of the things that we have found adorable about her is that whenever she cried and went into diva mode, she would cry...cry...cry and then throw her head back and moo. Because of this we began to call her Maisey Moo. Well this Halloween, we originally were going to dress her up as a skunk because she, at times, can be the stinkiest baby (literally...i think that the girl has a gas leak), but once that costume fell through there was only one obvious chioce left.

In the last two weeks Maisey has started believing that life is better when she's in my arms and makes sure that everyone knows that is where she wants to be. The first day we noticed this change was at lunch with my mom. Maisey had fallen asleep so I passed her to grandma and somewhere in the middle of her sleep she opened one eye, looked at my mom, realized what had happened, and began screaming bloody murder. Now, this has become a more consistant reaction. Needless to say, not only does this drive those who love her and want to hold her crazy but, it also raised my anxiety about leaving her alone. My concern wasn't all for Maisey as a good cry has never perminantly scarred a baby but for those who have to deal with her! Today I worked half the day and, other than Uncle Dustin getting to experience quite the blow-out, I got a great report! She ate, she slept, and overall everything was well in her world.<br /><br />Last week Maisey got to experience lots of firsts:<br /><br />First time camping<br />First time at Sea World<br />First time going to the beach--and putting those cute toes in the ocean<br />AND--First time being stuck in the car for hours on end<br />(Pictures to come)<br /><br />This week Maisey will have another busy week with mommy going back to work, her joining me for Leadership Summit, experiencing a longer weekend at church, and having her 2 month doctor's appointment. I can't believe it has been 8 weeks! Where does the time go? We've got so much to share from this last month and, as soon as we get our feet back under us, we'll get the pictures transferred to the computer so we can share how much Maisey has grown.The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-63513601624319484782009-07-12T21:36:00.006-07:002009-07-13T06:26:10.739-07:00Maisey One Month PhotosToday we were able to get together with good friends of ours and take some "One Month" photos of Maisey. I figured that we would post some on here so that we can share the moment with our friends. We hope that you like the pics.

Not only did Maisey turn a month old this week but, we got to experience her first diaper blowout while eating lunch with Allison and the boys, went to Maisey's first Diamondbacks game with Grandpa and Uncle Dustin, and learned that any spice in my diet is not ok with Miss Maisey (very bad day for Mommy).<br /><br /><br />1. All I can say is, "Growdy." Thanks Alli for helping me clean up her messy car seat! When it blows, nothing seems to survive; not even Mommy's pants.<br /><br /><br />2. So fun to see Maisey experience the sights and sounds of the ballpark as well as her proud Grandpa! I wish we'd gotten on video the first time she heard the crowd go wild...not impressed! :)<br /><br /><br />3. Oh spice, how I will miss you this next year<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpoTovn-_boqUg2d2AWIDNxlcL0ZrVBiPsnmXdgpYXpKOppo1shUV9t3371-adRpvGJJ3NxMzAxuSNbchQ32aFAMLOtBR1f5LfHwoQ5gd5TC9JfOArOMszO-76WjbQ6fGzMID4nnf2_-Y2/s1600-h/P7070274.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357309088820960578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpoTovn-_boqUg2d2AWIDNxlcL0ZrVBiPsnmXdgpYXpKOppo1shUV9t3371-adRpvGJJ3NxMzAxuSNbchQ32aFAMLOtBR1f5LfHwoQ5gd5TC9JfOArOMszO-76WjbQ6fGzMID4nnf2_-Y2/s320/P7070274.JPG" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq2VB92UmR9ttnYO1o04xKO-4UPmEhhnnjVuVUpGVpdZnAB5fR4D9l3A16p6nfSkHOQxFE1cg3wmBhlGw3zn9Bv7r6lU4viLZFJAmUXFRKCprvwfZ8vxx5cdFnKUwcTFJIQTU9Qck7gnlh/s1600-h/P7070269.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357309100276714722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq2VB92UmR9ttnYO1o04xKO-4UPmEhhnnjVuVUpGVpdZnAB5fR4D9l3A16p6nfSkHOQxFE1cg3wmBhlGw3zn9Bv7r6lU4viLZFJAmUXFRKCprvwfZ8vxx5cdFnKUwcTFJIQTU9Qck7gnlh/s320/P7070269.JPG" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmuYBcvimFWJgJEr0PcZgtnhbChQWZXDqxd0Ym2NPH1kvt5MJBTdUvSpkGUqPBIZHUjmSOFE5bBONlxRiIlXDOemqLsQtzbFUVYXyVbGkAUw08U3UWhlZ2Aj7SESXbw1kQAp6E6zoC8yCV/s1600-h/P7070276.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357309091678929154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmuYBcvimFWJgJEr0PcZgtnhbChQWZXDqxd0Ym2NPH1kvt5MJBTdUvSpkGUqPBIZHUjmSOFE5bBONlxRiIlXDOemqLsQtzbFUVYXyVbGkAUw08U3UWhlZ2Aj7SESXbw1kQAp6E6zoC8yCV/s320/P7070276.JPG" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYCa2AxA1VmePO8yXnN8xo-05GRrIl6B2c4OXdnINp9-hgfmYgoTWm1r75M1hVomPiz5l20_tf_C6KwdNaZnzz19fnxkKMtNtITEiqTa4C32ocBUC7lMt6rzAtcYKgI0j1J2w2ea-fMRZH/s1600-h/GrandpaMaisey2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357309109737607058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 237px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYCa2AxA1VmePO8yXnN8xo-05GRrIl6B2c4OXdnINp9-hgfmYgoTWm1r75M1hVomPiz5l20_tf_C6KwdNaZnzz19fnxkKMtNtITEiqTa4C32ocBUC7lMt6rzAtcYKgI0j1J2w2ea-fMRZH/s320/GrandpaMaisey2.jpg" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ8Hz-x1PUrYy_OKvPO91bpVFuwBv4z6D6tLzSJEhF6WraoX1nC7RbG5JIqBWcAWnvL4SkQ1xptfflJ8DA5qsSZmfi1t73zYeicCb9gFdo1I22avXdH652Hr6F-XP0nuBHrR0ITN36wVJ2/s1600-h/P7070255.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357309107322702162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ8Hz-x1PUrYy_OKvPO91bpVFuwBv4z6D6tLzSJEhF6WraoX1nC7RbG5JIqBWcAWnvL4SkQ1xptfflJ8DA5qsSZmfi1t73zYeicCb9gFdo1I22avXdH652Hr6F-XP0nuBHrR0ITN36wVJ2/s320/P7070255.JPG" border="0" /></a>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-6407155895479442852009-07-07T12:29:00.005-07:002009-07-13T06:27:44.143-07:00One Month Old<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87aLBwvTxvcgD1fEKFSFMiZdJ3RxdmLfXje5A1oXxfhMGpnRdAp1pfnYQN73cbp2f7toG3GihAui26fZnCU6vXv5FsJjJDoqWmOqY2EIMH30oznww35iTm6iymU6IP428kmhoXcCO2CFm/s1600-h/IMG_0619.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356282751430270418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87aLBwvTxvcgD1fEKFSFMiZdJ3RxdmLfXje5A1oXxfhMGpnRdAp1pfnYQN73cbp2f7toG3GihAui26fZnCU6vXv5FsJjJDoqWmOqY2EIMH30oznww35iTm6iymU6IP428kmhoXcCO2CFm/s320/IMG_0619.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356282733045613890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXyedLHYKgogOgJ9InaCekuNlsfE03QKK0Bi5BRyWw_oXz-bHZV5I7UX0bIjXLZET6CgCLdmTXcFqJtn32qI5GyFgg9JtsRMuExD-oMIWF4anS-MkIzpAjJXM3wmgTTcrlJjbUjJh1k0_a/s320/IMG_0605.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>It's crazy but, Maisey is officially one month old. It doesn't seem like there's been that much time between her birth and now but at the same time it feels like she's always been a part of our family. Here are some of the many things I have learned this first month:<br /></div><div>1. No one can describe how much you'll adore your children<br /></div><div>2. Books do not hold all the answers but they're a great base line. Every child is different and it's a good thing you can learn as you go.</div></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>3. Third time's the charm! No one would have guessed based on the video of her first time swimming but, Maisey enjoyed her time in the pool July 4th! </div></div><div></div><div><div><br /></div><div>4. Sleep is overrated (at least that's what I tell myself)</div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>5. Schedule's are great but flexibility is a must (hard for planners like me)</div></div><div></div><div><div><br /></div><div>6.

Maisey seems to be doing better with understanding the whole day and night thing and is getting on more of a regular feeding schedule. This on top of not having nurses coming in and out of the room every few hours has really made the transition from hospital to home awesome! Brian, being the proud papa he is, can't wait to take her out to meet everyone. He was talking about taking her to church tonight which I had to veto for right now but soon enough she'll make her public debut. I love being a mom and can't believe that I have such a beautiful little girl. It's amazing how you can get so lost in every face they make and how much adding her to our family as already blessed us so much. Here are a few pics from the first 24 hours home. Now, tell me she's not the sweetest thing you've ever seen. :)<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUb9Qx91nvr5wYvqI9hl5_ga7wiFDnWcuXAYLSJVZ7itBDM1vXhGbq3gG_UlZT0sPB2eaOjiYKMZRjoyK-u2gephEKoF7K9RW0kjo1DjXOQmI7GcpmL73Pn_D95NpnN2yKNL6oin6lNfKq/s1600-h/IMG_0585.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347282925098436466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUb9Qx91nvr5wYvqI9hl5_ga7wiFDnWcuXAYLSJVZ7itBDM1vXhGbq3gG_UlZT0sPB2eaOjiYKMZRjoyK-u2gephEKoF7K9RW0kjo1DjXOQmI7GcpmL73Pn_D95NpnN2yKNL6oin6lNfKq/s320/IMG_0585.JPG" border="0" /></a> Nap time with daddy<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_txSjr34dts0kRFsyLnmFob1qizr3FmFQsFa7Fs6G5yg7IudNiOSjRxSVj2YY5HmwHOED_WvjOQFyHv13UIopAPJPEUC2FcymBDGNWgCKCt9WIseSL1oIAFPuxjaDF9qMy8zxBRz-HaT9/s1600-h/IMG_0581.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347283889570670882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_txSjr34dts0kRFsyLnmFob1qizr3FmFQsFa7Fs6G5yg7IudNiOSjRxSVj2YY5HmwHOED_WvjOQFyHv13UIopAPJPEUC2FcymBDGNWgCKCt9WIseSL1oIAFPuxjaDF9qMy8zxBRz-HaT9/s320/IMG_0581.JPG" border="0" /></a> I LOVE my bath time ! : ) (or not...)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUVuxRv1A6yiwgLkuyOAEkxTvt5fQK_g5c3afH-mFdfwCwrN-Fa18WUDXY87fVdtfsZ2HE75DJdqGhOgcmThVupj0bDlWn2GuaWx9aw7WFPikaZzwDrJ_1CSbbeqztlZJmfUBnHCCleJm/s1600-h/IMG_0579.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347282939515417250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUVuxRv1A6yiwgLkuyOAEkxTvt5fQK_g5c3afH-mFdfwCwrN-Fa18WUDXY87fVdtfsZ2HE75DJdqGhOgcmThVupj0bDlWn2GuaWx9aw7WFPikaZzwDrJ_1CSbbeqztlZJmfUBnHCCleJm/s320/IMG_0579.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-30107319905037273652009-06-11T17:36:00.007-07:002009-06-25T12:02:36.194-07:00A Quick Synopsis and Update on Kim!Again, Thank You so much for all of the thoughts and prayers that have been sent our way over the past few days. Just as a quick recap of what has happened and where we are as of now, I figured that I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">would</span> send this blurb out.<br /><br />On Tuesday June 9<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> at 8:00 a.m., Kim was induced into labor. It wouldn't be until 9:30 that night that Kim would reach 10 cm., 100% effaced and +2 station. Dr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Messer</span> returned to the hospital around 10:00 and at 10:28 p.m. after a very normal and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">successful</span> labor <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">and</span> delivery, Maisey Ann <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Vehon</span> was born weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 21 in. Dr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Messer</span> delivered the placenta and then began to notice that not all of it was delivering. As she continued to work, Kim continued to lose blood. As she lost more blood, her blood pressure dropped and Dr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Messer</span> made the call to take Kim into the O.R. In the O.R., they discovered that Kim had a placenta <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">acreta</span>. Basically it is when the placenta implants itself and grows into the uterus walls. I have heard since then that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">placeta</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">acretas</span> often result in a hysterectomy. Dr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Messer</span> wanted to do everything possible to save the uterus, so she called for a cauterization of the uterus. It took her until about 4:00 a.m. to get everything under control and then to allow the bleeding time to stop, they installed a balloon into her uterus. Kim had a very rough Wednesday and overall since the birth on Tuesday, Kim has received 12 units of blood, 4 units of platelets and 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">units</span> of plasma along with many pain killers and other "stuff".<br /><br />This morning Dr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Messer</span> and Dr. Stevens pulled the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">balloon</span> and since then Kim is a new girl. The uterus is doing great and unless something <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">flukey</span> happens, no hysterectomy will be needed, so it will be more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">kiddos</span> for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Vehon</span>'s. We are now back into recovery and Kim and Maisey are healthy, bonding and resting. Hopefully we will be able to bust out of this joint on Saturday.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSGz1uCcMEBrPbhmYxK1CEHbQxf-jkCVOZMWitMdKf0dVPUKWdTVKsDgv88kv0zKxqm-wmWXuQhJLN0gJotazx2_MeXx2jZ6jwDOrMHl0wvEXsBphzVcTCKDwf3JIZSqm2AZFEq1MR13lB/s1600-h/IMG_0546.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346248942461139570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSGz1uCcMEBrPbhmYxK1CEHbQxf-jkCVOZMWitMdKf0dVPUKWdTVKsDgv88kv0zKxqm-wmWXuQhJLN0gJotazx2_MeXx2jZ6jwDOrMHl0wvEXsBphzVcTCKDwf3JIZSqm2AZFEq1MR13lB/s320/IMG_0546.jpg" border="0" /></a>On a side note, I just want to say Thank You to Dr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Messer</span>. She has been so great through this whole <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">process</span> and I can't image going through this with anyone else but her. She has been a true blessing in our life and I strongly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">believe</span> that there may have never been a Maisey without God bringing her into our lives. God brings people into our lives for a reason and we have found a lifelong friend out of it.The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-53680949000765719952009-06-10T18:36:00.013-07:002009-06-11T18:38:04.108-07:00Kim and Maisey UpdateFirst off, sorry for those of you who did not receive a text message about Maisey's arrival (which I think is about everyone). For everyone that hasn't been caught up on the whole situation, here is the story and the most recent information.<br /><br />On Monday night at 9:00 p.m., we checked into the Banner Gateway Hospital so that they could begin Kim's inducement. Once we were settled in, the Cervadil was put in at 10:00 and some other blood tests and general wellness tests kept us up until midnight. We were then able to get 5 hours of sleep that would quickly become very valuable. At 8:00 am on Tuesday the 9th they began to give Kim her Pitocin to see if we could push the contractions along. At 12:00, Kim was at 3cm and 50% effacement, it was at that time that Dr. Messer decided to break Kim's water. The contractions that hadn't been too bad, but once that water broke....oh brother.<br /><br />After having one of the anesthesiologist scare the living heck out of us about the "possibilities" that can happen with an epidural, we spoke with Dr. Messer and she reassured us that it was well worth the risk and that the risk was very minimal. So epidural here we came, and everything became so much simpler. After a few ups in the Pitocin and no real effect, we decided to give Kim a bigger Pitocin boost. we went from 5cm to 7cm in an hour, and then about 35 later, probably 9:25, Kim felt that pressure feeling, said let's see if anything has changed, and was suddenly at 10 cm. 100% effacement and +2 station. After that we tried to push, it was working and then it was a waiting game for Dr. Messer. Dr. Messer got there shortly after and then it was a pushing game. After about 30 minutes of pushing at 10:28, out popped Maisey. A perfect little baby girl! After that the journey became rough for a while.<br /><br />Immediately after birth, Dr. Messer delivered the placenta, but Kim's bleeding came excessive to the point where red flags began to go up. Her blood pressure dropped to 60/30ish, and she continued to lose blood at a rapid rate. Dr. Messer noticed that she wasn't able to get all of the placenta out so she decided to take Kim to the O.R. so that she could sedate Kim and see what was really going on. Once they got in there, Dr. Messer discovered that the placenta had grown into the uterus and because of that Kim's body wasn't able to realize that the Placenta was gone and it kept feeding her blood. The uterus wasn't looking too good, but in order to avoid a hysterectomy, Dr. Messer ordered that Kim's uterus be cauterized and put in a balloon in to monitor any further blood loss. Long story short, 12 units of blood, 4 units of platelets and 2 units of plasma later, the balloon is now out and Kim is up, walking around and looking forward to moving down to recovery so that she can spend some long love time with Maisey :o) Did we mention that we have a beautiful baby girl ?!?<br /><br />Thank You to everyone for your prayers and support over the last 9 months and especially the past few days. We have really felt them and it made everything a little more comforting.<br /><br />~Brian and Kim<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGRAjnwO5KxvSbXPYwzDKJCEZ31BkK-X91wa-d6pEkS36wyHUHsSHjvTk-KMKlauWMTmRnMxpoNUR4A352gJ9Ik-qshyF9xEI0hDlBkEsxC_yjmlzCDbY3qg7qT5FZg_4SshZ_elTdaLH/s1600-h/IMG_0543.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGRAjnwO5KxvSbXPYwzDKJCEZ31BkK-X91wa-d6pEkS36wyHUHsSHjvTk-KMKlauWMTmRnMxpoNUR4A352gJ9Ik-qshyF9xEI0hDlBkEsxC_yjmlzCDbY3qg7qT5FZg_4SshZ_elTdaLH/s320/IMG_0543.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346104604775108610" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4eeW9ffREFKcpJLWXdh1-wNx8dm6H678mPmZiudsrJ9WrEQWqcyfdpWfzR88m33hjFXCOYMIPwHSHGCpldj9ziZM4IkFPKYQVmlglx2o4_OMN_0kQaxF_-eeaNNxPCmbN6hNWSKwZ1XG1/s1600-h/IMG_0516.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4eeW9ffREFKcpJLWXdh1-wNx8dm6H678mPmZiudsrJ9WrEQWqcyfdpWfzR88m33hjFXCOYMIPwHSHGCpldj9ziZM4IkFPKYQVmlglx2o4_OMN_0kQaxF_-eeaNNxPCmbN6hNWSKwZ1XG1/s320/IMG_0516.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346101660505993442" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEVza-5Fvo23Yb94l0h1zRayEgiGUuUti4O39gkFJtvM4ht9XjPnBEobXNv1Vx-AVGV9sDpFRA_0R5OMJFYNFPhcmfI60m499CwSMbNzZfZHoSOeXs16mnd3bez_aBdsXIRkToOJaRJBP/s1600-h/IMG_0505.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEVza-5Fvo23Yb94l0h1zRayEgiGUuUti4O39gkFJtvM4ht9XjPnBEobXNv1Vx-AVGV9sDpFRA_0R5OMJFYNFPhcmfI60m499CwSMbNzZfZHoSOeXs16mnd3bez_aBdsXIRkToOJaRJBP/s320/IMG_0505.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346101649229702962" border="0" /></a>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-41550311614417595662009-06-08T13:24:00.003-07:002009-06-10T18:36:19.760-07:00She's Here!<div>Kim and I are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Maisey Ann <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Vehon</span>, born on June 9<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> at 10:28 p.m., weighing 7 lbs. and 14 oz. and 21 in.<br /></div>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-8858503770242973772009-06-06T05:40:00.005-07:002009-07-13T06:28:17.161-07:00Update<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-EhnMcXlGe2-tkxEOQV9issA_pNIbrPl3zFEOttDUXkbVlC9ewxh7w99M_ZXgH4eojV2ZrV92SfSwfJRTkBsW_P-twY9Fh0SkIG27Rn9NvzFVDJfSzIrYyE1WTL3bo41eeBJ4LSjdKVhj/s1600-h/IMG_9123.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344201743606851874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-EhnMcXlGe2-tkxEOQV9issA_pNIbrPl3zFEOttDUXkbVlC9ewxh7w99M_ZXgH4eojV2ZrV92SfSwfJRTkBsW_P-twY9Fh0SkIG27Rn9NvzFVDJfSzIrYyE1WTL3bo41eeBJ4LSjdKVhj/s320/IMG_9123.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div>So, this isn't the post of the nursey that Brian promised (update coming soon) but, I thought before things go totally haywire that I would post one last pre-Maisey entry. The past few weeks have been nothing but one big blur! Between multiple tests, doctors appointments, trying to get the house ready for Maisey and the fam that will be coming in town, baby showers, works commitments, the list could go on and on.....needless to say time has not slowed down for us. Some have told us to fill the last few weeks with lots of Brian and Kim time (which we've been sure to save some) and others have told us how slow time will drag until she comes (still waiting for this to happen :) but, the truth is she'll be here in a matter of days (3 to be exact) and I'm not sure any advice has really left us feeling completely prepared for the life change we are about to experience. Each day brings a multitude of emotions from anxiety about the unkown to feeling so unprepared! But, my favorite thought is that in three days we get to meet our daughter. We'll know who she looks like and have the chance to memorize every special feature. We get to start learning about how God has designed her uniquely and given her special gifts and abilities. We'll get to make mistakes that hopefully won't scar her for life and learn how to go through each day no longer a family of two but three. We are so thankful for everyone who has walked with us to this point but, we are counting on everyone to stumble along with us on this new journey (Lord knows we need the help :)</div><br /><div><br /><br />For fun, I thought I would add some pics that Robert Jewett so wonderfully took for us (you can check out his web page to see his great work!) <a href="http://www.robertjamesphotography.net/">http://www.robertjamesphotography.net/</a><br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344198866606421410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-7fHdo1NjfOfza5gMX10j4puQeOt-1nqw7dtJfzLIHAYHXd_mz7LnaqjDH1F22QzId3PZNtHrhU7ILa9G98yT9k00Mtxb65JZUG9tNJOtgcbwo41yY8CNwfxRx-_ebDo7aBJO7aXc1mUe/s320/IMG_9076.jpg" border="0" />Me and my very pregnant homegirl, Pauline.

After trying to figure out how to make the tree, actually constructing the tree and waiting patiently for the fossil-crete stamps to arrive, Dad and Dustin came over Saturday and put the final touches on the construction of the tree. Now we get to hand the tree and nursery over to Carol Wagner on Thursday so that she can add her artistic touches to the tree as well as do some Classic Winnie the Pooh muraling in the nursery. Carol is an extremely talented artist and Kim & I appreciate her willingness to help and are excited to see what she has in store. I have posted some pics of the tree as it is right now and will also add pics of the nursery when it is completed.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332711695165656802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8onnwH2wz7EXsOI3kQXtPuajgcfR9UFgK3YW09JdBJ282tFebrB_Lvitmp3nTH6qcj4I8pC0lm_0jqPB1OKJ73EGEhchfXkv7pTx6KpTkqBhyphenhyphenvWVSeksV1OjBI50A8l0cGYcXiNrpjPp/s320/IMG_0406.JPG" border="0" /><strong><em>Kim decided that the tree needed some branches </em></strong><strong><em>and Dustin helped in making that happen for her.</em></strong><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332711699399135970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxYFxCBEINB9unzdPpE40lBDBA6dDEI7Wh5KNkXMIpTxdHfM_exex4-lhmS4cr3m68ID2_cbblgvtrTrp0LG-rXvHQNoBliZ9OH2wmsWwQOCAAUnB0Yl2oGZQAlBL8a-F9q8GOhhsaM_V/s320/IMG_0411.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332711703369328850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgty8hjm0WPQVq_lSirl0JxO4Jt6e-Ua-_B727Rs4cf5VQDSb1eepGzSbPJeaOWOGuy2_HBDDYw4BUrl-oTOBsidDZbbqgVbOlkkZwDwji05esvfrvZ7HRHftRerVYIfhsbiWVRrWmS6cEf/s320/IMG_0418.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332711710323535810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyKRVIG4PalFJX8sD1U3EDbP9lAuU6bE1yGBU-7zzRE4QcqDmTN5FWGBLCuoaHeSJRXzB0vmzGg4fPwA5V4p9G7hJeJ91c_SWRkDnLVC0K-I83NOIUxwxs6SCD1xmFfSjowMzntpVq0lvs/s320/IMG_0430.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332711711792009010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgJUVD1U6nFrg84MqKNCvbQlJK0I8ufAReU0SDvB7sfszNIVpK9H_eeVOhCg6X_p31FoqtUUryfKF77TU1d_1PO2lzKZhaTx-M5ST3-q-vdy13ItytEtRIYebNZgR8iqGoLNEgmScJ2X9B/s320/IMG_0440.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332713631754524818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip7J7etvJWl1SBoeWR7hzaFftppVp2O9NeabsgnpsCzhJDVig_cWGPUfC8g_guGArlbvv44w2wDdsAKxbtBudlPMOsbKt4YbGq6gNojnMjCEiqx-6CsWfAvjcLSG6BpeYxolbI8Fgzqs20/s320/IMG_0442.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332720524353792642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHMSY5YhrbEC6DCdGlWueGJ7GOF6VcDtZESLtboyvjle50N4f_ABJyGsqzG_mYtAbh2DO_6X9BCjwWEVnlo_juhYR48xQHHQEbStglBieplXql1u8f3ZTGceI0KqKudbQnd6CXOR9FlmvC/s320/IMG_0444.JPG" border="0" /><strong><em>The blue tape will come off once the tree is painted.</em></strong> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332713642052667810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb8olx5pz0_XQMYqMmZLcYPLb1Bo2xSvM7whVjLDWHP2x93XEdA9nyZKsXEIoTOeGCrtEremUB8GyXUnsvZxDLJFLnn0STeICI8DQMbDGNsmolWy235PN_aaFJFU_q57HEizP2sc9OnVbC/s320/IMG_0445.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332713647117438466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGsga_QgRau3Sx1mt-i_teKoR7cmdN8EijaCFKJnsHgnDxsTjpBcoVvJW9KExmQR_K0iwT_pwG3E6koxlQkLmHbebWqjs2tJaVZuysVOGIyty8jHRtv1bGqjbBihypbwp7S3WWcD3hbRDy/s320/IMG_0447.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332713648572876722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIaoRun668snAoqtNosOkFSI_YWvY-vZeoCO4JG0DXlR48feNay4qAcp4aybfdyL3ps-0bBoCAk9cF3eF-7IVo6vEaUPjtFp2eL720IVm-dUh4jo749sDGf5eKCFfRjyjCHSYMe_ZdjnZA/s320/IMG_0449.JPG" border="0" /></p>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-89959336797657949792009-04-23T05:32:00.005-07:002009-07-13T06:28:58.611-07:00Couple Extra Pics<div align="center">We're officially at the eighth month mark and Maisey's arrival seems so close yet so far. I can't wait to meet this little boog but, forget Brian, I think I'm going to be right there with him in trouble. I already know and fully expect Maisey will have him wrapped tightly around her finger but I figured I would need to be the one to keep things in order around here. Trouble is, I find myself melting just looking at her in a 4D image; amazed at each of her little parts and the miracle she is. What in the world am I going to do when her beatiful face is staring at mine? Crazy how you can love someone so much you've yet to hold and fully know.<br /><br />Anyway, here are a couple more pics from our 4D journey! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327864675278760594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNV9XsLdviAtcRTcHQeiljqYlxqm3wDzWTdvEWj-yPzQOixMpigUexLosgrmJMG-hw4NM3F0uUItpQyoeIuB00VXoHSTx4W41axxnGyJt91fVorSXzuGefR-UfaB4htDkFX2Qt0-bQqrJp/s320/MARCH_SCANS_9_11.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">As her typical reaction, here's Maisey covering her face with her little fist.

They forgot to include the pics from the previous visits but, I thought I would give a sample of some of our pics from yesterday. I have to say my favorite line from this visit came from my awesome father-in-law. When we were leaving I mentioned,"She's a cutie, don't you think?" He replied,"You can't tell! It looked like her face was pressed against saran wrap. Pretty funny since it was true. She was on my right side (which has proven to be her favorite place to spend her time) and enjoyed pushing her face against my side flatting her nose. Still, I think she is perfect and can't wait to meet her. Eight and a half more weeks and counting down!<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325828226613145522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIa0TXKzWoX_fipAJT1vGzNSoShy23WkBVnvMsoeICupU7xo67s-eEUvwxOm19bSlGq5DdOJu0s-jPvRHNneKIScfoHi2lFQajDF_k1TXgQjfEECQrID0mvAgDtrnUpmkDupUwDF38UXJW/s320/BABY+MAISEY!_2.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325828230559498466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin-is_ktOPkcJvtWS3fcex5I8F3tCa4JQzuL1ppLtD0YU4yMxgl1FJaYRKX9yUY7OKeD4YzP023nCqUO5FoDNNo6hrr0HckxkwHj4T6TgBSYUqhtLx5CGJVQgpXirTh7WxvZFdOVhmf3Ti/s320/BABY+MAISEY!_5.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325828228891477106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPG3u-4e9BLEH1kMU5W_2B4XpRvVDme6b1I5V0U04G7lA1w1BCdqRbn05Q2Inquza56qQCKvuJd5-aqH9eXOIhAraVaWz-XtsnuNxN-JtoPmGMIOjYNk9hOf4hGErEz_CAM_kzo6B9RwqY/s320/BABY+MAISEY!_4.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"><strong><em>Hello squishy face!</em></strong> </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325828234635821618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgko1Oy33YYT0fEPwwOEfMn0QChF8f2mEo90mL3vTOOlB9EDNxzTTmMhuWVG0qciJtR2EOAbopujTOaR13pmpa8pREKIHaxW36Fm9SByHiqMhIEn8MMLL1mEMgS6qaPjxuUrpneJPVfb3U3/s320/BABY+MAISEY!_6.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325828233225204498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZMGTaJm6GMprSP2C1J6H9EWpkFyZmY6vGTn8B9kw0_KnVyTxAtn_hcvnknV5os8e5AIoAek4eqHnhu2SXGeU0qc_cbYps5ADXL5tfee8zyXGsnxYrsfJDxrkRgR-IV-xnJPRqMHhS1HKx/s320/BABY+MAISEY!_14.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"><strong><em>Look at how chubby she's getting!</em></strong></p><div align="center"></div><div align="left">So, that's it for now but, when we get some of the other fun ones I'll throw them on here as well.</div>The Vehonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05340815196177413089noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303122716461039086.post-23449813725234928672009-04-14T21:55:00.007-07:002009-04-14T22:21:52.658-07:00A Tree In The Nursery???Sorry it has been so long since the last post. Life has been pretty crazy lately with us trying to get ready for Maisey as well as Kim preparing for last weekends Easter services. I wish I could say that we finally have some breathing room, but the fun is just beginning. Awhile back, my dad came up with the idea of building a tree in the nursery. Since we were going to be using a Winnie the Pooh theme, we thought that it would fit perfect. The question is how was it going to be built? Although we are not done, I figured that I would post some pictures so that the question of "What do you mean a tree in the nursery? How is it built?" can finally be answered. I will try to update more frequently, especially as we finish up the tree and hand the nursery over to Carol Wagner so that she can add her artistic touch!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8G682uJQz_cjUvZU6Ir_gJ0w795i9M5_9Q46iXKumyhyphenhyphenJ2h1_w2wJDvEiIfQjmOzx61ZAcO72kV-Wdxb4_0lMSIX5FnbZ9HlUjUhyReoI3YdQC52LLhRmzjrH53uVt8Kg0IvXid9r8dS/s1600-h/IMG_0308.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324780757366661810" style="DISPLAY: block;

We chose to go on the day that there were 2 games, so we got to see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">UConn</span> vs. Purdue and then Memphis vs. Missouri. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">UConn</span> won game 1 and Missouri took game two. Me and Dustin had a great time and it was cool seeing the stadium for the first time. Below I have posted a few pics of the experience. On a side note, I am proud to announce that as of right now, I have 3 out of the Final 4 teams in my bracket: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Villanova</span>, Michigan State and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">UNC</span>.
