I know there are a ton and I know the month is half over, but being pregnant I am a little airheaded these days. So, Happy Birthday to Hillary on the 6th, Kyle on the 20th, Phillip on the 28th, and Charlie but I don’t know what day. Also, I know that some of the Hick’s children have February birthdays but I don’t know for sure which ones and what days. If anyone has a list of birthdays for theis entire family I would love to have it emailed to me. Anyway, Happy Birthday to anyone who has one this month and if I don’t have you on here then let me know when your birthday is!
Deena’s Baby!
February 14, 2009I’m not sure when or if Deena will have time to post the info and some pictures of her new baby so I thought I would post what I have. Hopefully she won’t mind!
Deena and Jeff welcomed their baby boy on Wednesday the 11th more than two weeks early (lucky girl). He was 6 lbs 4 oz and 18 1/2 inches long. They are naming him Cooper but I don’t know if they have decided on a middle name yet. Here are the two pictures I got, hopefully when Deena has time she will be able to post some more info (and cute pictures), but I would imagine she will be pretty busy for awhile!

Brandee’s address
February 5, 2009I didn’t know if everyone got this email from Mary so I thought I would post it on here for any who didn’t.
Ms. Brandee is doing quite well at advanced training though they are working her long hours. Good for her! She loves hearing her name at mail call. Please forward this to your children. She will appreciate hearing from any and all.

Boy or Girl??
January 26, 2009It’s a GIRL!! Congrats to those of you who figured out the ultrasound. The doctor said it is definitely a girl. Not only did she say there was definitely no boy parts, she could actually pick out the girl parts. So there you have it, we are having a girl. Not a lacey, ruffled, pink wearing girl mind you, but a get down in the dirt and wrestle with the boys kind of girl. Just wanted you all to be prepared in advance so when you see in her jeans and a tshirt you won’t be surprised. Don’t expect her to be in dresses/skirts or have giant bows in her hair because as most of you know, that is totally not me. Jake has assured me that girly-girls aren’t born that way, they are made that way so I am keeping my fingers crossed it never happens! Now all I have to worry about is agreeing with Jake on a name…

It’s A…
January 22, 2009BABY! So, what do you think? Boy or Girl? We know, but can you tell from this picture what our new baby is going to be? Yesterday Jake was so excited for the ultrasound that he said it was like Christmas morning. When you’re all excited and you wake up early to see what your presents are except we were finding out what is in my belly. So is it going to be daddy’s little princess or another momma’s boy? We’ll let you know in a few days!
FYI: There is a picture of the hands and arms, a picture of the head, and a picture of the lower body/leg area. If you can figure out which is which you can probably figure out the gender. Good Luck!
Happy January Birthdays!
January 18, 2009I know I am a little late but here they are anyway. Happy Birthday to Tara Courreges on the 12th, Happy Birthday to David Patterson on the 15th, and Happy Birthday to my Ethan on the 7th! I only have the birthdays of the cousins/grandkids (and my immediate family) so I am sorry if there is anyone else in January who has a birthday I didn’t know about such as aunts, uncles, or the great-grandkids. To anyone else let me know, and Happy Birthday to you too!

January 12, 2009I don’t know how many of you got this email from Karen but I thought it was so funny and true that I just had to post it on here.

Deena’s Baby
December 8, 2008Did anyone (especially Deena and Jeff) find out what gender their baby is?! I have been patiently waiting for some news and have still yet to be told! Please, I am dying of curiosity…
Aliens?
December 2, 2008Although it may look like an alien, it is actually the 12 week old baby that is growing inside me. And yes, a human one, unless I just don’t remember being abducted by the aliens…you never know…Anyway, here is the first picture of our little one-
The day we left to head up to Jake’s parents for Thanksgiving I had my 3 month check-up for our baby. The doctor was having a hard time finding a heartbeat but was pretty sure there was a baby in there. She wanted to do an early ultrasound just to make sure everything was okay. Usually they don’t do ultrasound until 20-24 weeks but we got one a little early. Turns out everything is just fine but my uterus is tipped a little and the baby was moving around like crazy so that is why it was hard to get a beat with just the regular monitor. Ethan was constantly on the move too. Yea! I am so excited for another baby that never stops moving so I can’t get any sleep ever. (Yes that was sarcasm you sensed)
It is amazing to me how much it can actually look like a little person when it is less than 5 inches long! My doctor also said it is way too early to tell a gender, because the reproductive organs are just being formed and everything basically looks the same at this point. Not that you could tell from this picture anyway since the baby has it’s legs tucked up into it’s belly. So anything you think you might see, you don’t. When we do get the “what is it” ultrasound I will post the pictures and let you guess what you think it is. Until then, enjoy our little alien!
