He's growing like a weed, crawling everywhere, & pulling up on everything. His personality is really coming out and he doesn't like it when he doesn't get his way!

Chaz has also started saying Da-Da. Not sure if he knows what it means, but hopefully Ryan can stop practicing it with him every chance he gets! :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I realized today when I logged on that I never posted his 5 mth pictures.. bad me, but I'll do it all now! We had our 6 mth checkup this week and Chaz is growing like a weed! He rolls everywhere and according to his Lou Lou he is technically crawling. Not on all 4's yet, but he scooting and pulling enough to get wherever he want to. He LOVES to eat.... and will eat just about anything. Sleeping is getting better- but, he still hasn't figured out how awesome it actually is! Bathtime is still his favorite- he starts kicking when he sees the water and doesn't stop until he dried off in his pj's. I have a 30 minute drive to daycare and normally we talk the whole way- if I ever get on the phone, he jumps on his chance to nap- </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">since he probably wasn't sleeping when he was supposed to. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seriously... what did we do without this sweet thing??</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

As most of you know- I'm always into "projects" around my house. One thing that I have to remind myself is that there is only 1 of me. Ryan was a big help, but now he's the official babysitter when I start a project. I've been wanting to blog more about my before and after projects, and just got an email that has encouraged me to do so more often!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my DIY projects in </span><a href="http://ginnandryan.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chaz's nursery</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was featured on the blog where I bought his initial decal. Ryan and I changed an armoir into a changing table. We took a piece of plywood and painted it a pale blue (looks brighter in the picture). I order a decal from </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62794542/22-inch-circle-and-dots-monogram-vinyl"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Decal Monograms</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and had Ryan put it on the board for me. We then attached the board to the back of the armoir to cover of the holes where the T.V. cords would go and he framed it out with chair rail that I bought from Lowe's. I found some baskets that fit perfectly from Target and within minutes- we had a full blown changing table. It was so easy and the best part... I got the armoir for free. Total cost: about $50... not including the diapers :) The picture doesn't show it, but there are also baskets below that hold his books and some toys.</span></div><br />

I took him back to the doctor on Friday, because he started wheezing again, but the doctor insured me it was still the same thing and not to worry. He's not so sure about solid foods... seems to just want his bottle so if anyone has any good suggestions- let me know! He ate great the first day, and ever since he's not interested. I'm pretty sure he needs it- he's about to eat (drink) me out of house and home! :)</span></div><br />

First... for the not so fun stuff. Chaz had his first visit to the Urgent Care on Sunday night. Ryan and I thought we heard some wheezing on Saturday night, but it quickly went away and we didn't think anythinig of it. Well, on Sunday night- it was obvious he was wheezing. The weird thing was that he was playing and laughing like normal, but the harder he played the louder his breathing got. I called the pediatrician and the nurse told me to take him on in. When we got to the LeBounheur Urgent Care, the nurses and doctor were SO nice. I'm sure it didn't hurt that Chaz was flirting with all of them and grinning everytime</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> they would pay him any attention. They took us on back and sure enough- he was wheezing pretty bad. They gave him 2 breathing treatments and sent us home with an inhaler to do every 4 hours. He was already scheduled for his 4 month check-up on Monday so when we went we had his doctor examine him. The verdict: Bronchiolitis. It's a respiratory virus that is caused by RSV. The bad thing is... there's nothing you can do for it- no medicine and no more inhaler. He seems to be feeling a little better, but he just doesn't understand why he can't suck his paci or eat and breath at the same time. It's about a 5 day virus and we are hopefully on day 3 or 4.</span></div><br />

I assumed it's 2010 and digital trumps analog so I'm not pregnant. The following Monday, I decided to take another test... and another... and another... and another... you can see the picture.</span></div><br />

I was in the doctor's office for 2 hours yesterday with a sinus infection that I have actually had since last Tuesday, got a shot, got my medicine, and finally got home to my babies. I had been in Jackson since Saturday afternoon for a friend's wedding... congrats, Amanda.. it was gorgeous! I knew I better go on to the doctor so I did that on my way home yesterday. When I got home, the antibiotics decided to do a turn on my stomach. As many of you know, I had some major issues about 2 years ago and after a scope, I found out that I had gastritis. Thankfully, it is controlled my diet and medicine, but antibiotics seem to make it flame up again. After about an hour of pain, it finally surpassed and I was able to eat dinner and go to bed. For about an hour. Chaz decided he didn't want to sleep last night and if he was awake... Mama should be, too. I think I was able to sleep for about 3 hours total. I woke up to it raining- that's never fun. Got to work late because people in Memphis can't drive when there's water on the road. Had to deal with mean people through email... and the list goes on.... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, I just got the best call I think I've ever gotten.....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Nana is cancer-free!!!!</strong></span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's so strange to think about the call that I received a couple of years ago telling me that my 1 and only grandmother had cancer. I cried and prayed and cried and prayed. But, I know Nana and I knew she would pull through. Boy, did she! She faught hard and even got her diploma to prove it! :) I've sat at my desk for the last 10 minutes crying and praying... THANK YOU, JESUS!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking back- my "rough" week, really hasn't been so rough after all! :) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been a long road, but I'm so proud of you, Nana!! </span></div>Ginna Abbeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992781512259693893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781826620499818583.post-56781495501432365392011-01-13T08:22:00.000-08:002011-01-13T08:22:24.652-08:003 Month Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Chaz had his 3 month pictures done last weekend by a friend of mine, </span><a href="http://www.onemomsperfectimperfection.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Courtney Noffsinger</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">.

Ryan and I went to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl last week and when we got home, Chaz started rolling! He's not doing it every time he's on his stomach, but he gets really close! He stayed with my sister while we were gone, so of course Aunt Lou Lou says she taught him. :) We also had our first ear infection a few weeks ago. He's been battling a cold for a few weeks and it wasn't getting any better. With us going out of town, I decided to go ahead and take him in. Sure enough.. those ears were infected. Man what a difference antibiotics make! He's eating, sleeping, and playing SO much better! He's a happy little man and we are just loving it! I also think it's fair to say he's looking more like his Mama! What do y'all think... it's probably the fat cheeks, but that's ok! I finally downloaded some videos to my computer so I'm putting one from tonight! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He's so fun and getting so big. I started back work last week so it's been an adjustment getting up, dressed, to daycare, and to work all before 8am. Chaz seems to be doing to good at Nanny's. She kept Mattie and keeps Reid and my cousin's daughter so he's around family all day. I think his aunt (and uncle) are loving getting to see Chaz everyday. I know I'm loving getting to see Reid and Eason. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He's getting so big and making us laugh all the time! I have learned that he might look like his daddy, but he's got a lot of his Mama in him. He's a "goer." We (well, I) don't like sitting at home, so we have been finding all kinds of things to do. We met Ryan for lunch one day, strolled around the outdoor mall one day, met Lou Lou and Lyn for lunch one day, went to Babies-R-Us & Target one day... and that was just last week! He does really well when he's "out and about." He tends to sleep and eat better. I'm so thankful and hope it stays that way! He's getting better with sleeping at night... that or Ryan and I are getting more used to it! :) Here are some recent pictures taken from my phone... I seem to snap more with it than I do my regular camera.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Maybe that's how long it feels since I've had a good night's rest :). He is so fun and has really started showing his personality. He's definitely got the Hopkins genes in the appetite department... I can only imagine what it's going to be like when he's eating real food. He's getting better with sleeping and Ryan and I have figured out that he always wants a little more to eat about an hour after we feed him... we call it his dessert. He won't take but just a bit...so this kinda messes up our schedule during the night, but hey... I like a little dessert after dinner, too! </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

We've been busy changing diapers and making bottles! Below is a "short" version of the events leading up to Chaz's birth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Monday, September 27th</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8:40am</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a doctor's appointment to see if I had dilated any... and I did not. I was a week overdue so you can imagine how anxious I was to get this party started. My doctor gave me the option to schedule a c-section for the next day... or to go in at noon on Monday and receive some medicine to help my cervix thin. I chose to go in and try to have him naturally since this was my first baby and we didn't know how my body would react.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12:00 noon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ryan and I check into the hospital and I received the medicine to help my cervix thin at 1:30pm. After 12 hours, I would start the pitosin and we would go from there. Everything seemed to be progressing normally. I was starting to dilate and have contractions. At some point during the afternoon, I got up to go to the restroom and when I got back in the bed, the nurse had a hard time finding Chaz's heart rate- it seemed to be dropping randomly. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday, September 28th</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2:30am</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ryan and I haven't slept at all. I was glued to the monitor watching Chaz's heart rate since it had randomly dropped a few times and I was definitely starting to feel the contractions. My body was reacting to the medicine they gave me to thin my cervix and my water broke in between that medicine and the pitosin. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4:30am</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I received the epidural... best thing ever! And for those who care- the IV in the wrist hurt worse than the epidural. Chaz's heart rate was still dropping randomly so they had turned the pitosin completely off and I was in labor without any (medicine) help.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6:30am</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chaz's heart rate dropped and the nurses told me they were going to call my doctor and update him on everything. My doctor was due to come on call at 8:00am and I had made up my mind that I was going to ask for a section if he felt that I needed to... the heart rate dropping had gotten the best of me. Nurses rushing in the room hourly and me having to flip from side to side wasn't my idea of fun.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6:55am</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My family arrived and a nurse I'd never seen entered my room. I calmly said, "Hey.. you must be my new nurse." I knew the nurses were on a 7pm-7am shift so I just assumed she was coming to tell me who she was. Her response as she rips open a new bag for the IV, "We're going in for a section, doctor's done with this." UMMM... excuse me? Within the next 5 minutes, I had a team of nurses, 2 <span style="background-color: white;">anesthesiologist</span>s, a doctor (not mine), and a worried looking husband and family staring at me. They had Ryan dressed in scrubs and we were rolling down a hall into surgery. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All I can really remember is the nurses discussing what patients I had "bumped" and the doctor telling me that my doctor was coming in from a meeting to do the actual section. I was so relieved and can remember praying that God would take care of everything. They rolled me into the surgery room and I realized they had to move me onto the surgery table. I laughed and told them I couldn't help them because I couldn't feel a thing. (I think that was the purpose). They asked Ryan to sit in a room for about 10 minutes while they prep me and I was praying they wouldn't forget to go get him. Everything and everyone was moving so fast that I could see them delivering Chaz and forgetting to get Ryan. Within minutes, Ryan was back in the room and holding my hand.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At 7:29am, God gave us the most precious gift in the world... Charles William Abbey. He was 8 pounds and 9 ounces and was 21 inches long.... absolutely perfect. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I heard one of the nurses in the room say, "Look at those cheeks!" and another "Look at that hair!" I couldn't wait to see him. He opened his lungs for us and it was the most precious sound I've ever heard.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Come to find out- the cord was wrapped around Chaz's neck and every time I had a contraction, it was causing his heart rate to drop. I didn't know this until a few days after his birth, but I am so thankful that the doctors and nurses knew what to do and we went ahead with the section. He lost too much weight while we were in the hospital so we had to go to the doctor for a "weight check" one week after his birth. Let's just say- he's doing good! His weight is back up and he has the Hopkins' appetite! It just took him a few days to figure it all out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've been doing good at home. Ryan and I both love sleep so we are adjusting to not sleeping much. Chaz had his days and nights confused, but he is doing much better... lots of prayers answered. He's changed so much within the last week- it's hard to believe when I look back at the pictures. Thanks to everyone for all your texts, emails, prayers, and calls. I can't tell you how much it means to me and Ryan. Here are some pictures from our first few weeks.</span><br />

I woke up this morning to an email that said, "Today is your due date!" Like I didn't know?!? I went to the doctor today and no progress. I go back on Thursday for another ultrasound. It has been fun seeing people's face when they ask when I'm due. No one expects you to say, "today." I'm still hoping and praying Chaz will come on his own (SOON), but want to make sure he's a healthy, happy baby so I'll continue to waddle and countdown the hours for a few more days. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers... I'll be sure to update soon!</span>Ginna Abbeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992781512259693893noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781826620499818583.post-53876267783849858282010-09-12T14:02:00.000-07:002010-09-12T14:02:52.091-07:00Fishing<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The days are getting long around here! We are officially in single digits till the due date... and I am SO ready! On the way to church this morning, I told Ryan we had to find something to do this afternoon to keep me busy. Problem is... I don't have the energy or desire to really do anything. Well, Lou Ann called after church and said that she and the kids would come meet us for lunch. Of course, any chance I can get to see my kiddos- I'm all about it. While we were eating, Ryan mentioned fishing and Mattie and Reid got excited! We have a pond in our backyard so of course I was in... only a few feet from the house! We only stayed outside for about an hour- which was perfect for all of us. Can't wait till Chaz is here to go fishing with his cousins!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
