Baby Shower

Hey Guys! I am now going to be 34 weeks this Friday, so only 6 more weeks to go!

My friends threw me a baby shower a couple weeks ago and it was super fun! I am the first of my friends to have a baby, and everyone was just wonderful and tons of fun. They had decided to make it like a Luau and it was definitely a perfect Saturday for a Hawaiian themed party! The temperature was around 76 degrees-you gotta love San Diego! I got a bunch of cute and much needed "stuff" for Braxton, so we are almost ready for him to come!

Braxton's 7 month check up!

Well, I am 7 months along and about a week and we had our 3rd trimester ultrasound last week. We are happy to say that Braxton looks perfect. He is a little over 2 1/4 lbs and about the size of a head of cauliflower. He is in the 60% percentile for his height and weight, so little bigger, but he does have some tall parents. I just hope he waits to grow until after I have him. ;)

We are getting really anxious for Braxton to arrive and see what his little face looks like. This is all we have for now!

Love-Ashlee and Jarrod

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! This year we were pretty low key and decided to finish up Braxton's room! Jarrod did ALL of the paint job from scratch and I am very proud of him. I am sure his "little man" will be proud too! ;) We still our waiting for our glider chair to arrive and few other details we will be adding, but these pics will give you an idea. The finished product will follow!

Thank you to everyone who has helped us out-we are very appreciative and couldn't have done it without you!

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season. Well, since I broke my foot it kind of put a damper on flying home for X-mas this year, so we decided to drive up the Coast to Cambria (northern California/Big Sur area) and stay for a few days. I am getting stir crazy with this foot stuff! :) We drove up with Shannon and our best friends Jimmy and Jimmy and Jana. It was really neat, because they decided to get a house on the beach, when we decided we wanted more of a cabin feel, so we had the best of both worlds. We had such a fantastic time and we wanted to share some pictures with you!!!

We went up to Paso Robles and did a wine tasting (some of us) one day, which is really neat and all tastings were FREE! Its a really beautiful area of California and I would love to go back one day. I managed to buy a few bottles to open after Braxton is born. And for X-mas Eve (Jarrod's Birthday) he woke up and went surfing (his absolute favorite thing to do), and got himself into some REALLY big waves that day-I think he said 10 feet-crazy man, not to mention its freezing water up there! But... that was the best present you could give him ;) Christmas Day, we drove up to Big Sur which is a spectacular view of the California Coast. Braxton didn't seem to like it too much though, he made me get a little car sick, but overall it was a wonderful Christmas day!

As some of you know, crutches are horrible to use, and since I am now into my 7 month (The Home Stretch) its getting even harder, so I rented a knee scooter to make it easier for me to keep up. That thing was a life saver!

We have also started on the nursery! During this last week, Jarrod, has put together our crib and changing table. It becoming more REAL and closer every day. We also went out and bought all of our paint and Jarrod is going to be using his artistic skills to make Braxton's room a home. Results to come...

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! Enjoy the Holidays and we will keep in touch~

Love-

6 months!!!

Hey Everyone-

We have hIt the 6 month mark AND we are proud to finally have settled with a name- Braxton Michael Wyss!!!

Well, I kind of started this 6 month with kind of a struggle. Last Wed. night I was going down the stairs and fell. The baby is GREAT, but I am sad to say I have broken my foot in 3 places. So, while I will be getting bigger, I will also be using crutches with my air cast for at least the next 6 weeks! They will then determine the next step! Jarrod is helping out a lot and everything will eventually be ok. It will just be more of a struggle for a while. I guess pregnancy was just going too easy for me! ;) We are just happy it wasn't anything worse and that Braxton is good and healthy!

We have also moved into our new place, just last weekend, so I have included a few pictures of our downstairs-more to come... We decided to add a little color to it so it felt a little more like home. And anyone who saw our last place, you will see we have a lot more room that we needed~

Thank you everyone for being there for us and following us on our blog. We hope you guys enjoy the new pictures.

Love,

Jarrod and Ashlee
