Invitation Pics

So we had our photo shoot for Aylin Jewel's birthday invitations, I can't believe it is that time all ready!! :( The theme is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, because she LOVES IT!! She gets so excited when she sees Mickey or hears the music come on, she starts bouncing around-it is adorable :) We had her shirt made at a sweet little boutique shop down here in Hernando called Itty Bitty and I adore the way it turned out, and yes that is actually her name in the Disney font :) These first few pics are ones that did NOT make the card but I still liked them.

And these last 2 are the ones we used for the invitations:

11 Months Old

Aylin Jewel turned 11 months old on April 1st! I can't believe we are almost a year old, it has gone by way too quickly. She is also getting harder to take pictures of since she won't stay still anymore :) AJ has 4 teeth and 2 trying to come in (that we know of), she is doing better with her sippy cup, eating step 3 foods and more and more table foods, army crawling most of the time, everynow and then crawling on her hands and knees, and she has just started pulling up! Physical therapy is going great and she is working hard. I love you Jewel Bug :)

Louie, the Boxer

Buster is 4

Our 2nd little blessing, Hilton Isaiah, was born 3 weeks early via an emergency c-section also because of preeclampsia. He was already 8lbs8oz and spent 9 days in the NICU because of a spontaneous pneumothorax (popped right lung); he also had a heart murmur and had to have a blood transfusion his very 1st night. Poor guy suffers from febrile seizures, and also took physical therapy for about a year b/c of delayed gross motor skills. We are so thankful to have this little man blessing our lives.

Puppy is 2

Our 3rd blessing, Weston Julian, was born 5 weeks early via another C-section because of preeclampsia. This pregnancy was a rough one: at 24 weeks I started having severe stomach pains and at 28 weeks had an emergency umbilical hernia surgery, and have been on bed rest ever since because of preeclampsia. At 32 weeks I started having daily headaches and frequent migraines (at least 2 a week). At 33 weeks our ultrasound technician discovered my amniotic fluid was decreasing and he was not showing much growth, so now we started twice a week visits and at least 1 ultrasound each week to keep a closer eye on him. We are incredibly thankful that our last little blessing arrived safely and weighed 5lbs 13oz and did not have to go to the NICU.
