GILLIAN CLAIRE COCHRAN

Just a quick update. I would like to welcome to the world my beautiful daughter Gillian Clair Cochran. She was born on November 20th at 6:32. She was 8 pounds 4 ounches and 19.5 inches long. I call her my little chunk. She has auburn hair for now and her eyes are dark grey. She is great. I am doing ok. I don't have the energy that I am use to having so I am having some issue slowing myself down. But other wise all is well. I have a few (more like 70) pictures already. Here are a couple.

Update on Life

I have had an interesting few weeks. Ziggy and I went to my family reunion which was a lot of fun. I bought Zoey a pair of fairy wings and she was adorable. We went to my father's and spent quality time with him. It was interesting to see him interact with Zoey. Definitely different then how he interacted with Kerri or me. I found out I have a condition called Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP). It is the worse. I itch and itch all the time and there is nothing that I can do about it. The doctor says that if it gets worse then we might have to induce labor. I am holding out though. As long as it is not on my face I will continue to "take it like a man". This is what I get for not having morning sickness or the normal symptoms of pregnancy. Only eight more weeks.

The time of the baby shower has been moved to 11:30. There was a miscommunication at Archivers.

That's about all. Ziggy is Ziggy. Loving his job. He is looking for a new car. He says that he doesn't feel safe with Gillian in the truck. I agree.

Hope all is well with everyone else. This weekend is the Fall Festival and we are sooo there!

Doctor Update

So I went to the doctors today. This was my last four week appointment. The heart rate was 130 and the baby's head is down which is good. My Bp is 108/68 which is awesome. I gained four more pounds so I am gaining a pound a week. I am ok with that. Everything looks fine. My doctor is still pushing us to takes birth classes. I guess we will look into it. Zoey had a bad reaction to her shots and now she has a cold. Its sad to see her sad and not her smiley self. Thats about all for now. Later days!

Baby Shower.

So Alli and I have picked out a shower date. It is going to be the 14th of October. We have decided to have it at Archives. We have something really cool planned for there so I am really excited. Ziggy and I registered at Target yesterday. It was funny because I said I was not going to have a giraffe themed room, but realistically we all knew it would happen. Everything that I picked out had a giraffe on it. Ziggy just smiles and rolls his eyes. They are just too cute to pass up. Went to the doctors this week and they said everything looks fine. I have gained three more pounds. I am now at the weight that I wanted to gain over all so that kinda saddens me. The doctor said that my weight is perfect and there is nothing to worry, but you tell that to the stretch marks that are starting to appear. Overall though I am happy. Just thought I would let people know the date of the baby shower so you can plan ahead!!!!

ZOEY AT 3 MONTHS

I took Zoey yesterday to get her three month pictures taken and they turned out great. I have a couple here that I took from the website. It amazes me how much she has grown is a short amount of time. After everything that has happened lately, I appreciate her more than I ever did. We are truley blessed to have her in our lives.

A FUN WAY TO SHARE!

I got this idea from my wonderful sister-in-law and agreed that it is a great way to keep family and friends informed on the goings on in our life. I hope to use this site for pics and updates as time goes by. This is also a good place where I can put down my thoughts and feelings and get ideas and all the jazz! I hope that everyone likes this and continues to visit it from time to time.

Ja Cie Kocham!
