Hello Again, Happy 2011

I know it has been quite a while since we updated the blog. Anyways Trey had a wonderful first Christmas. In January we took him to his first A&M basketball game which he enjoyed although the buzzer did not make for a very good nap. In February we celebrated my dad's 60th birthday. All the pictures from the last three months are on our Shutterfly website. http://sarahandvince.shutterfly.com/ In January and February I completed another 3 hours toward my masters. I start my final three hours tomorrow and hope to finish before the new baby arrives. Vince has been very busy at work and has been working lots of overtime, he also has an overnight trip this week.




For the most part this pregnancy is going well. I have been feeling much better than I did last time. My blood pressure has stayed in normal range too and no signs of pre-eclampsia redeveloping which is great news. We had high hopes this would be a normal pregnancy, however in late February they started monitoring me closely as I was showing warning signs of pre-term labor. I was put on bedrest, so we decided it was best to find and hire a nanny to care for Trey and help keep me off my feet. My mom, sister and some of the extended family have also been very helpful during this time. The nanny has been with us a week and is working out well. This week Trey has also mastered sitting on his own. He is very inquisitive once he is crawling and walking he will be into everything. We are counting down the days till we make full term which will be Memorial Day weekend. We have 84 more days to go. We are really hoping to make to our planned delivery date of June 10th, which was also my Meme and Popo's birthday. Anyways hopefully this next semester will be a little easier and I can update more often.

The Houston Rodeo is going on and I am hoping my mom will take Trey so he can see all the animals, so that should be our next update.

Tis the season to be very busy

Well it has been a while since our last update. We are all doing well. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Trey has started eating solid foods and is loving it. He had sweet potatoes for his first Thanksgiving dinner.

We took Trey to San Antonio for our first family vacation in early December. He did great on the trip. We were hoping to show him the riverwalk all lit up for Christmas but he slept through it. He did enjoy watching the German dancers at the German Christmas village with his Uncle John and Aunt Becca. He also got to meet his Great Aunt Susie, and cousins Donna, Luke and Kate on the trip.

We took Trey to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop and he decorated cookies with his Great Papa (a family tradition). We are just busy getting ready to celebrate Trey's first Christmas.

On another note we are happy to announce that Trey will be a big brother in June 2011.

We wish everyone a Happy and Safe Christmas and New Year. We posted Trey's latested pictures on our shutterfly webpage. http://sarahandvince.shutterfly.com/

Pumpkin Patch

Howdy Everyone!




I know it has been a long time since I’ve written; my apologies, we

have been very busy. Where to begin…well, I am doing well and continue

to grow (I’m currently at 9 ½ lbs). My reflux is finally subsiding,

which is very welcome news! I still spit up after many meals, but it

is less frequent and getting better. Mom and Dad are still feeding me

frequent small meals to help combat this. It seems like I eat all the

time, but if it works, so be it!



Speaking of feeding….I was getting bored with the same-ole’,

same-ole’. Rice, milk, formula, repeat repeat. Then, Daddy fed me some

oatmeal for the first time. My eyes went from sleepy to POP! and I ate

my bottle in record time. I really love oatmeal! Since then, it is all

I want to eat, and even take some by spoon.



I can now sit in the corner of the couch with support, and have pretty

good control of my head.



Mommy caught me roll over for the first time the other day, too! I

rolled from my back to front, and really scared myself and started

crying. I haven’t done it since and may wait till I’m a bit more

coordinated to attempt it again.



My baptism was a few weeks ago, and we had a big party. It was really

cool. I got some water on my head, just like at bath time (I really

like taking baths!). Since I’ve been healthier, I also got to meet a

lot more of my relatives; what a big loving family we have!


My future plans are to eat, rest, and get big as quickly as possible.

I still have quite a few appointments with specialists and doctors as

well, but so far, no news is good news on any lasting affects from my

prematurity.





Love to all,

Trey ‘33
