Welcome!

Welcome everyone to our family blog! We are excited for you to see what we are up to! Sorry, you'll have to start at the bottom to see from the beginning :)

JONAS IS 4 MONTHS!!!

OK, so I'm going to start this blogging thing, and really try to keep up with it :) We had our family pictures taken last weekend and should get the cd to post more today! Jonas just turned 4 months old! We can't hardly believe it! The time has flown. We've really been blessed with such a good baby! He's rolling like a mad man these days, so officially a belly sleeper now! Mornings are his best time. He's always chatting, giggling, and smiling! Doesn't get much better than this. Micah and I are both doing great. We are excited for Micah's new position at the Ritz Carlton as the HR Coordinator. It's a Monday through Friday position 8-5! For those of you that knew, that is a HUGE change from his position in Food & Beverage. Now we get to hang out as a family every weekend!

Back Home Again In Indiana

Our Visit to Indiana was great! We were able to see lots of our friends and family, and introduce them to our little man! Although we were in town for a week, it didn't feel long enough! Jonas was an amazing little traveler! Can't wait to plan another trip back to Indiana!

Payton's 1st Birthday!

Payton's 1st Birthday was fun! Can't believe our niece is getting so big! Jonas and Payton live 1.5 miles apart and are 11 months apart, so it will be fun to watch them grow together! Payton is walking, chatting, and just always busy! Here are some fun pics from our little celebration on her birthday!

Jonas

Love At First Sight

Jonas Micah Hine was born at 10:21PM on June 22nd, 2010. He was a beautiful 7lb 11oz and 21.5 inches long! We were ecstatic! During delivery suction was used causing a hematoma on the back of his head between his scalp and skull. This was alarming to the doctors, so Jonas spent his first 40 hours in the NICU. The nurses and doctors were amazing! Luckily all of the tests were showing that he was improving and healing. By the time we were leaving on Thursday night, the fluid under his scalp was half the original size, and on Friday morning it was completely gone!

Here Comes Baby Jonas!

June 21st, 2010 at 8:45PM Micah & I made it to University Medical Center eager to have this baby! I began the induction process shortly after arriving. We had high hopes that this little boy would come just before my mom was arriving in Tucson at 10am. HA! Jonas was stubborn! Who knows where he gets that from?! After 26 hours of labor (3.5 hours of HARD pushing!), Jonas Micah Hine arrived!

We're Having A Baby Boy!

On October 13, 2009 Micah & I found out we were pregnant! We were both very excited....nervous and scared too! At week 19 we found out it was a baby boy! Micah was grinning from ear to ear during the ultrasound. He didn't say much, but sat there in amazement. I couldn't believe that creature was really growing inside of me. During that ultrasound he did quite a few flipturns, taking after his mommy's swimming skills already! Week 32 we went for a 4D ultrasound, so we were able to get a sneak peak as to what this little man might look like. We continued getting his room ready, strollers together, carseat in (thanks to Uncle Mark) & linens washed. Rigley would curiously go into his room placing her bones & toys thinking we must be making that room for her! As the due date approached Micah and I were very curious to see him, what his personality would be like, how much sleep we would get, and to see really how our lives would change forever! June 18th (the due date) came and went. No baby Jonas yet! I went to my final master's swim practice June 19th and swam extra hard thinking he has to come soon!
