yesterday, your little sister, kinsey, was baptized. you had on a green dress and you looked beautiful.
When the priest got done, he turned to me and said "I think i better baptize her again, I must have done something wrong the first time." he was talking about you.
you spent at least an hour jumping; Bobby, Amy, and Tim couldn't believe how well you could jump.
Bobby mentioned that you have muscles in your legs from jumping so much, I didn't realize until he said something.
My Thoughts: this is one of my favorite entries, well so far.

7 1/2 months
4-12-1987
You stand up now, you beat all the kids in standing and crawling.
you stayed in Ames with your Aunt Jane, while we took Ricky to the State Tournament.
you won the heart of all the college girls. But you were really happy to get home and get in your bed.
My Thoughts: Go me! hopefully Kinsey doesn't bet me. :)

Today, I took my 2nd post office exam. Hopefully by the time you realize that mommy works I will be working at the post office, instead of at Woodward. I go back to work in one week. I have been off now for 2 months; it seems just like yesterday that I started maternity leave. Time does go by fast.
A few more months it will be Christmas.
You go to the doctor tomorrow for your 1st appointment. You sleep about 7 hours a night, no more, sometimes less. If you do get up you drink a little milk, then usually you go right back to sleep.
I bet you weigh at least 10 pounds now. You have a very pretty smile and one dimple on you left side.
You poop once a day around 8 to 9 pm, you won’t go to sleep until you do. And you get very fussy until you get done.
Your Godparents, Dave and Lori, got you a $50 saving bond for your baptism.

I just got back from a baby shower for Gina. Your Uncle Jace and her got married on 9-9-86. She received a lot of nice gifts.
You are almost a month old, and you haven’t started to sleep all night yet. The most I get out of you is 5 ½ hours. I am hoping you will start sleeping all night, before I go back to work on 10-10-86.
You are going to be baptized this Sunday 9-21, and we are going to have diner here afterwards to celebrate.
The food: 1 pound of baked beans, 1 pd of potato salad, 1 pd of 5-cup salad, and 1 pd of 7 layer salad is going to cost about $51. I wonder how much it will cost by the time you are 18. Plus I need to buy a ham, beans and a relish tray.
My thoughts: I’m past the age of 18 now and I really have no idea how much any of this would cost. But I do know if I was having a party I would probably make all this stuff (or one of my sisters would).

10 days old
9-2-1986
You lost your cord today, but your belly button is not healed. I am going to keep a close eye on you tonight ad tomorrow, we might have to make a trip to the Doctor.
You went to visit Grandma Nixon house yesterday. Aunt Jane fed you twice, while you were there. She is good with babies.
Today Ricky and Kassie started school, so it was just Kaci, you and I all day.
I cleaned the house and that is about all I got done today. I have a lot of weight to lose, so I have to start doing exercises. It will take me a long time to lose it all.

Your dad didn’t make it up tonight, we had car trouble. Hopefully it will get fixed tonight, so he will be able to come and get us tomorrow.
With the other kids I stayed in the hospital about 6 days, now a days they want you out in 2 ½ days.
I was really depressed when you dad couldn’t make it up, yesterday he was only able to come for abut 30 minutes.
Two friends from work, Julie and Betty, came up today and visited me. Aunt Amy also came.
Your Aunt Melinda is coming home with us tomorrow and staying until Wednesday afternoon. Kaci is staying at the babysitters until Wednesday.
I am hoping people will wait until next week to come and visit, so I can get the house rearranged. You are a very good baby, you don’t cry much and you eat really well.
The 9th annual Town and Country days were this weekend in Perry.

Doctor
8-21-1986
Went to the doctor today, your heartbeat was 154 and I measured 39 weeks pregnant. Doctor said I was a good “3” centimeters dilated. He told me he was going away for the weekend, so for me to take it easy until Monday.
He took it real easy when he checked me. Told me when I went to the hospital to tell them that they baby has been breech, so they know.
Your Aunt Amy told me that my name is not registered to give birth at Mercy. Someone forgot to give me the forms; they are going to mail them to me. I’ll probably bet the forms to the hospital.
I know with Kassie I was 4 and 5 centimeters dilated when I got to the hospital.

Official Due Date
8-17-1986
Well, today is your official due date ad I think you are going to miss it. It is now 10:00 o’clock and you haven’t come yet.
I started losing some white mucus stuff today. This is the first time I have loss some with you. With Kassie I lost about the same amount about 10 days before she was born. I hope you plan on being born earlier then that.
We got back from eating at your Aunt Lori and Uncle Dave’s house. Kaci fell asleep in about two seconds after we put her to bed. She has hay fever, and this is a bad time of the year for her.
Your cousin Andrew is about 2 ½ weeks old, he still looks pretty small.
At times I have been really sore. These past two weeks you have been really struggling to get out. I think you will be a fast labor, like Kassie was (about 3 hours)

Andrew
8-4-1986
Your Aunt Lori had a baby boy on 7-30-86. He was named Andrew Joseph and weighed around 6 lbs 15 oz.
I have been loosing just a little amount of fluids, not really as much as I lost with the rest of the kids at this time. We have 13 days left until your due date. I will bet money you will be born a couple days either way.
Your heart rate was 153 at the last doctor appointment. The doctor said he thought you were going to be a girl.
I have my suitcase packed, film in the camera, and bills paid so I am already to go. I have been doing a lot of housecleaning, getting rid of a lot of stuff.
I haven’t been able to sleep very good at nights. The most I sleep is two hours at a time. I still have a cough, but it is not nearly as bad as it was the last time I wrote in here.

Waiting
7-30-1986
Well today your aunt Lori is supposed to have her baby. They are going to induce labor. I started maternity leave today; we have 18 days left until your due date.
I have been having trouble sleeping at night.
I have also had bronchitis for the past two weeks; I think I’m finally getting over it.
I got my suitcase packed and ready to go to the hospital, whenever you’re ready.
Your dad has been on vacation these past two weeks. He hasn’t got much done though.
