Happy New Year

Wow, 2011 is here! We can't wait to see what the new year has in store for us. We have been very busy watching the little guy grow and learn daily. He is an amazing blessing to our family. We have enjoyed every moment so far and are looking forward to what is yet to come. Case, Wrigley and I flew to Iowa on Friday, December 17th. We get to the airport and the baggage check guy says (in the nicest way), oooh shit, your flight is canceled. WHAT?! So we were re-routed through Denver and finally made it to Des Moines that night about 9pm. I am sure you are just imagining myself running through the Denver airport in attempt to catch my connecting flight with a baby and a dog looking quite ridiculous :) We had a FABULOUS time in Iowa, enjoying the holiday season with family. Case was such a good baby the entire trip, sleeping 12-13 hours a night and sticking with his 2 naps a day as well. His smiling face brought smiles to everyone's faces. Santa found him at Mom & Dad's with fun new toys and clothes. He is just a tad bit spoiled! We stayed in Pleasantville on Christmas night and Case LOVED being with his cousins. We were excited to come back and get back into our routine going to the gym, back to school this week and walking. We have enjoyed being able to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. We hope the new year brings you all joy and love.

Love These Girls!

WOW, it's been awhile!

I know, I know. I haven't been the best "blogger" on the block. It just seems easier to update Facebook but I know some of you do not have it :)

We are doing great here at the Bishop household. Case has been going to a Mother's Day Out program Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-2. He LOVES his teachers and enjoys going. I am impressed with his teachers as well and enjoy MY me time!

We are going back to Iowa on Thursday for a few days. We are celebrating a year of mom being diagnosed with cancer but mostly celebrating the fact that she is doing great. She continues to work, keep the new home spotless and visit us as often as possible! I don't think the girl ever sits down which must be where I get it!

I turned 30 last week, THIRTY. I can't believe it. Some days I DO feel that old, other days I feel like I'm still in college. But then I look at that sweet little boy of ours. He is just precious. He is crawling, pulling up and pretty much getting into everything. I am ready for him to start walking!

We continue to go to the YMCA at least 3 times a week and Case likes the childwatch there. We also go to Kindermusik on Friday mornings. We sing songs, do some dancing and other fun activities.

We hope that you are all doing well and I sure do enjoy reading all of YOUR blogs so I will do better about keeping ours updated! Thanks for reading :)

Three Months Old!!!

Wow, I can't believe three months has already passed. Everyone tells you how fast it will go and it sure does! Case will officially be 3 months tomorrow! We have enjoyed every minute so far with this sweet little boy. We made our first trip back to Iowa on April 19th and had a great time. It sure is a lot more difficult to travel with a baby (plus 3 suitcases, a dog, golf clubs, etc). I have to return to work on Monday for four weeks. My sweet Grandma is coming to stay with Case for the first week and then my mom is coming until the 26th. We will finish out the year with friends watching him before I finally get to be his Stay At Home Mommy!!! I can't wait! We hope this spring has brought you all joy!

Starting to Smile

I am 2 months old and mommy & daddy can't even believe it! Time is going so fast. I started sleeping upstairs ALL by myself in my big boy bed this week. I have done really well. I wake up at 3 or 3:30 to eat and then go right back to sleep. Mommy is ready for me to sleep through the night though. I am a sweetheart. I love bath time, books read to me and snuggling on mommy and daddy's chests. I might be a little bit spoiled. I hope you all had a terrific Easter. We had aunt Kirby come visit and that was wonderful. Before that, Grandma Cindy, Great-Grandma and Kelsey were here for TEN DAYS, we loved every minute of their visit. We are going home to Iowa in April and can hardly wait for everyone to meet me! Have a great weekend everyone!

One Month Old

Baby Case is already one month old! It has been a wonderful month so far. Everyone says it goes fast and it truly does. We are still eating about every 3 hours, but I think that is fairly common. I don't think I am going to have that baby that "sleeps through the night" real early. I was too spoiled when I was pregnant sleeping at least 9 hours a night. He should have prepared me more and kept me up when he was inside :) We went on our first few outings last week. I took him to Target and to Ryan's office. This past weekend Ryan and I took him to Chili's and to our friend's house on Saturday and Sunday. We have to show him off. Ryan couldn't believe the waiter at Chili's didn't say anything to us :) We love Case Mathew Bishop SO very much! Our little family is blessed.

My 2 Favorite Aunts
Case Mathew Bishop decided to make his arrival on Monday, February 8, 2010 at 12:47am. I was having small contractions all day on that Sunday and wasn't sure if it was the "real" thing but we decided to go in anyway. The entire labor/delivery experience was amazing. The epidural went well and I couldn't complain at all. Case arrived weighing 7lbs 11oz and was 20 inches long. We have had a great first two weeks with the new addition to our family. My mom, grandma and dad made it to that night here to Texas. Kirby flew in that Tuesday and Kelsey on Wednesday. They all left except for Mom on the following Sunday. Mom stayed an additional week and dad came back to get her this past Thursday. It was SO nice having her here. Today is our first official day home by ourselves :) We had to go to the Dr on Saturday morning because Case has been coughing and was real stuffy. This is very common in newborns so I wasn't too concerned. Turns out, he has RSV but is quickly recovering. I feel so bad for him being so small and already sick. We just keep using saline drops and sucking that gunk out of his little nose. When we went to the Dr, he weighed 8lbs 2.5oz so he is already growing so fast! Here are some pictures of our little one.
He is absolutely precious!Proud Daddy!
