Drum Roll Please...

Well, finally she has arrived. We caught her big smiling face yesterday (6 days old). She smiles a lot and is a very good baby. Oh by the way, her name is Helena Mae Seely and she was born on April 5, 2008 at 10:34 a.m. She was 7lbs. 8oz., 20in. long. Her middle name is named after the last chinese character in my mom's name. It has been an amazing feeling after this little life has come into my life...and my life has changed.

A Long Time...

Kelly is using the ancient Mayan Stairmaster to lose some weight.

In Mexico, Dzibilchaltun Mayan Ruins.

This is on the cruse from New Orleans to Mexico.

This was our little girl at 20 weeks. Janice is about 7 months pregnant now.

We will have another 4d ultrasound this coming Thursday.

My Dad visited us in December, and we had a GREAT time.

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. The baby (a girl) and Janice are both staying healthy. Here are some pictures.

Kelly & Janice

Sleepy & Grumpy

Well, last week was not a fun week for me or Kelly. I was usually energetic at school until about 12 o’clock, and my body started winding down. When I got home I could do nothing but sleep and usually had about a 2-3 hour nap. I got up for about 2 hours, and went to bed again. My schedule was messed up. I was not very perky most of the time. One day I told Kelly that I wished the kid would just grow in a few weeks and get out of my body. Kelly told me “Janice, well I think that’s unrealistic”. Of course I was being unrealistic; I was just grumpy because of the changes in my body. This child is already helping me to understand some effects of personally being an only child. I was very independent and didn’t compromise much. Now it (the baby) is coming along, and I have to “compromise” to make sure it is growing healthy in my body. Kelly has been a very loving husband, and I’m hoping for a better next week.

The guy in the picture is my "new boyfriend". When walked with my dad when I was in high school/college, many passersby would think and express verbally that my dad was "my boyfriend".

Janice

we're going to be parents...scary, yes

Just this week, we found out that Janice is not just feeling a bit sick to her stomach. She is pregnant! How do we feel, you ask? We are really excited! I just talked to a friend yesterday who has a newborn. He said, "Sleep comes in cycles." Okay, while we may not be looking forward to cyclic sleep, we still think it is fantastic that Janice is going to have a baby. Just wanted to let you know, in case you haven't heard. The doctor said she could be anywhere form 6-10 weeks pregnant, and that we will find out exactly how far along she is at our next doc. visit.



peace,

Kelly & Janice
