Help!

Well, I have just been offered a long term sub position in McFarlannd. It's only 6 weeks but I'm kind of sad to leave Farrah. We haven't been able to find a sitter that can watch her according to mine and Wes's schedule. The places that I have called charge soo much and will not take her for only 10 days. I'm still frantically looking, so if anyone has suggestions please let me know asap.

HITTING THE MARK

Tummy Time just before the crying started.

She makes cute faces when she sleeps.

Loves to sleep in my arms.

Watching Dancin Tweens

Jogging with Mommy

Loving her paci.

Rare Tummy Time Fun. Got to love those baby rolls!

Wow, I know I heard that a baby grows fast and changes so much, but I never realized that until I sat down and thought back to when Farrah was first born. She is officially 3 months old. She smiles and coos constantly and last night she was almost holding her own bottle. She sleeps through the night very well with the occasion feeding and she has become a great little traveler. Her legs are ridiculously strong and she enjoys standing up and bouncing, with some help of course. She doesn't care for tummy time, but she can already push herself up with her arms. She is quite the wiggle worm. She has already rolled over twice and that was at a few weeks old but she hasn't done it since. When she naps, she hates anything on her feet and will kick the covers off right away. She loves pacifiers and right now we have about 8 in the house. She loves sleeping beside me or Wes and it's cute because she reaches out to grab our shirts when she's sleeping, just to make sure we are there. Her baby smiles crack me up because it's nothing but gums!

Catch up

Wow!! Alot has been going on in the life of the Agee's. My sister graduated from high school in Arroyo Grande and we went to see her graduation, along with my brother, and all my aunts. We had a great time. We celebrated Sara's graduation, my auntie Anne's birthday along with welcoming Farrah to the family. It was a great little reunion. We also spent the 4th of July in Grover Beach. Farrah received a great outfit from her Auntie Ash and her mother, she wore the outfit, but I was unable to get pictures of her watching the fireworks. She slept through them all!! Plus she wasn't feeling very well. I also have random pictures from my phone that I finally posted. We played peek-a-boo one night and I caught her smiling!! Yeah for me. I need to really start carrying my camera around and stop taking pictures with my phone. Phone pictures do not come out very well.

Other than that. I have been very busy being a stay at home mother and full time grad student. What a busy life. Thank goodness for friends and family willing to watch Farrah while James and I are working. God has truly blessed our lives. Soon I will post some pictures of when Farrah and her Grandpo met for the first time. She absolutely loved her grandpo from Colorado. SHe loves all her grandfathers though and her grandmas.

Newbies

Totally awesome shades dudette

Tanning and relaxing

Can you turn it up one more notch please?

Well, Farrah had to be admitted to Memorial Hospital for 2 days because of her high levels of bilirubin. The high levels causes Jaundice and her level was at 18 and went all the way down to 10, so the Hospital discharged us. So now Farrah spends about 10 minutes in indirect sunlight with only her diaper on to help the jaundice go away. The sad part about being in the hospital was that Wes and I were not allowed to take her out from under the phototherapy lights. So when she cried we tried our best to comfort her by touching her arms or her back and talking softly to her.

I hated when the nurses had to put an IV in her little hand. Farrah cried so much and was so loud that I started to cry as well. I hate knowing she is going through anything painful. Wes seemed to handle things pretty well until Farrah cried for about an hour straight. He was so frustrated that he couldn't hold her to comfort her that he got upset and left the room to go walk off his frustrations.

Well, now we are back at home and everything is going well. She still has little bruises from her IV and her yellow tint has pretty much gone away. She is still as cute and precious as can be. I can't stop holding her and kissing her tiny little hands and feet and touching her cute soft face. Wes walks around the house with her in his Baby Bjorn, a back pack for holding babies. She has become a milk monger. She started out drinking only 2 ounces every couple hours and now she has worked her way up to 4 ounces. She is growing so fast. She has already started bouncing on her little legs when we hold her and when she is done feeding and waiting to be burped, she puts both arms up in the air. I love every moment with her.

Welcome to the Family Farrah!!!

Finally!!! The last of the men in his family to receive a grand child!!

SMILE BIG, he's a proud new grandpa!!!!

My little sleeping beauty.

3 Generations, Grandma, me and Farrah

Daddy, Grandma and Farrah

Excited and scared.

Sending out the love from Colorado Springs, CO. Thanks Daddy I love you!!!!

Farrah Mai Fiona Agee!!!!!

Yeah!!! Farrah Mai Fiona Agee has finally arrived!!! We are soo excited and overwhelmed. We went in tuesday morning for a regular checkup. I had been dilated for 1 cm for the past two weeks, and I was hoping to have progressed. Well, the doctor checked and told me I was about 2 1/2 cm dilated and to go walking and come back around 4pm for another checkup. Of course I went straight to the gym with my husband, walked for two hours on the treadmill and then went home got cleaned up and went back to the doctor.

Well, we were certainly in for a surprise when we got to the doctor's. As soon as he checked me, my water broke scaring my husband and making my doctor jump back in surprise. He immediately sent me to the birthing center where I would be in labor for the next 17 1/2 -18 hours. So, from tuesday at 4:35pm to wednesday at 5am I was 3 cm and feeling strong contractions. Finally around 5:30am I decided for the epidural because I couldn't stop shaking from the pain. From 5:30am to 9am I had finally dilated to 10 cm and was ready to push. However, the epidural made my entire left side as dead as a log and my right side was wide awake and ready to go. Although I didn't feel any real pain, my husband said he felt it for me. How sweet. He coached me through the entire birth and was absolutely wonderful and still is. He is so helpful around the house and my mother has been here helping out the past few days. Thanks to everyone who came by and visited us while we were in the hospital. WE appreciate all the hugs and kisses, prayers and smiles.

Farrah Mai Fiona Agee

Born May 13, 2009 at 11:26 am

7 lbs- 7 oz- 20 inches

100% precious!!!!!

ALMOST!!!!!

Well, it's been absolutely wonderful being pregnant, but I have to say I am sooo ready for this to be over with. I'm having a hard time getting around, I have to us the restroom about six to seven times an hour. I had minor surgery on an abscess that I got during my spring break. I'm getting more and more hungry, which is a good indication that the baby has dropped. Also, Farrah is still kicking so hard that I can barely sleep comfortably. I feel better when I'm laying down, but i know that I need to get up and moving around for a couple hours a day.

On a happier not, I had the most wonderful baby showers a girl could ask for. I had one given by the fab girls from Bath and Body Works and one by my mothers. I received, or actually Farrah received everything she needed to start out her new life. I wish I had pictures to post. Her nursery is set up and it's perfect! Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family for joining me in this special time. YOU ladies are truly the best and I love all of you. Hopefully I can get pictures up so everyone can see our new edition. She is almost here and I can't wait!!!!

The latest

I know it's been a while since I last posted anything, so I decided to take a break from my Master's work and type up a couple of things.

I'm still pregnant and my tummy has been dropping alot. My doctor doesn't think I'll make it to May, so Farrah may be arriving in late April.

I'm still praying for my school's budget to get fixed so that I can get my job back and not have to have my husband work soo much.

I've been tired alot lately and so my school work has suffered a bit. I can't stay at the computer for more than an hour and then I have to go lay down from getting a headache.

Farrah kicks me so hard it hurts to sleep, walk, work or even sit down to read. This must mean she will be super fiesty, just like her daddy.

WE have received two offers on our house and I pray one will go through.

My legs cramp up in the middle of the night and I have to pee at 3 am every morning.

I'm hooked on Twilight books:)

I love going through Farrah's closet full of baby outfits. This girl has more clothes than I do. I love it!

I can't wait to be finished with school. I keep praying for the strength and energy to finish this summer, because I know I won't be able to afford it next year.

I absolutely love God, my husband and Farrah, my family and friends and of course my doggies.

UPS and downs:) :(

I'm currently seven months pregnant, and my little baby Farrah is kicking like crazy. I recently was teaching my sixth graders when I almost keeled over because Farrah kicked me soo hard. Whenever I lay down to just sit and watch TV or eat, she starts kicking more. I have a feeling I'll be running around alot when she gets here and her feet are ready to move:) Wes has felt her kick several times and is amazed at the strength of her little legs and feet.

I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes, but since I've been on a strict diet and checking my blood four times a day, my numbers have been very low, usually under 100, and I'm always hungry. Who knows. We think it's just another way to get money from us because I can eat rather large meals and have a couple of desserts and my blood level is still 100 or under. I'm supposed to call if it's over 130, but so far nothing close to that number.

On a side note, not a happy one either, my school district has decided to let me go due to the budget cuts it is facing. I started my week with my birthday, on Wed got the bad news of being laid off, and on Friday got to help break up a fight and was asked by students why I was getting laid off. Funny, I have no idea how so many students know. Anyway, I didn't answer them and I don't like to lie to them either, but I thought it was inappropriate that they even overheard other teachers talking about and are now telling everyone. I just keep reminding myself that God has another plan for me and not to worry, he'll take good care of me. Since getting the news, my wonderful husband has been working non stop to help provide for us. He is taking whatever overtime he can and helping me out soo much at home. I love my husband. I think he is the best provider I could have asked for.

29 years and counting!!

Well, I'm sure many people don't blog about this, especially if they are uncomfortable with the idea of aging. However, everyone is susceptible to it and I am as well. I am turning 29 on the 23rd of February. Looking back over the younger years of my life:) I can honestly say I have lived a pretty interesting life. I have lived with everything I could ever have wanted, to being extremely poor, back to finding middle ground and being comfortable with all my life experiences. I have three wonderful parents that have given everything for their children and guided me along the way to where I am now. There is nothing better than a parents love and guidance. Thanks Dad, Mom and Ed!

I have experienced great sadness and happiness. Lost and found God again. Thank you Williams family!!!! I have taken and followed advice as well as just thrown it over my shoulder. I have fought, laughed, cried, hugged, and loved all my friends and family. I have made many mistakes and paid for those mistakes. I have been rewarded for being a hard worker and a believer! :) Now that I will be 29 and expecting my first child, I am overwhelmed with excitement and scared to my wits end. I only pray that I will be as good a parent to my daughter, as my parents were to me . I look forward to the future but enjoy the present. I will always give thanks to God for giving me this life and everyone in it. I don't have any regrets because everything happens for a reason, and I have learned from each experience.

All I have to say now is....I bet you never thought you would have a 29 year old daughter DADDY:}

Happy Valentines Day

I am wishing everyone a great and happy Valentine's Day!

I have a wonderful valentine who is the most wonderful man in the world. He is a perfect gentleman. Even after years of being together he still walks me to my car and opens my door. He opens my door and takes my bags when I come home from work or a store. HE even writes the cutest little love notes and leaves them on the bed for me to read when I wake up. I couldn't have asked for a better husband. I LOVE him!!!

Since I have been pregnant, he has also taken an extra step by always helping me sit down or get up. He even puts my socks and shoes on for me in the morning before work:) He is always making sure I'm getting the proper amount of nutrition for myself and Farrah and he calls me just to tell me he loves me and that he is thinking about me. This may sound cheesy to some people, but I absolutely love it. It certainly keeps the romance alive!!

So to everyone who reads this, Happy Valentine's Day!! Do something small, large or just give a longer hug to your Valentine.;)XOXOXO

The Lord, as always, is amazing!!!!

WEll, it's been pretty crazy over here in the Agee household. Wes and I have been making ends meet by a little more than a thread, but the Lord always comes through for us. We haven't had the luxury of buying a truck load of groceries like normal, but we are more than thankful for what we do have in our cupboards. WE stopped using our heater which actually became more of a cuddle time for the three of us, Wes, me and Farrah. NO complaints here! I have been eating sack lunches for the past month at work and having lots of cereal at home and I am always full. THANK YOU LORD!!!

Now, I don't want people to feel sad or sorry for us, this has become a learning experience for us because we have actually become more frugal with our money and have actually paid off some debt. WE have adapted to our finances in a way that even I am amazed at. Neither one of us enjoys going to the store really anymore, and we are content in spending time at home or with friends, just hanging out watching TV or playing games. With all these changes, I know Wes and I will be just fine with Baby Farrah on the way.

Some great news has come our way, we just found out two of our closest friends will be expecting in August!!! Yeah!! I love Baby Boom time!! WE are still praying for another couple to get pregnant as well. I can't wait for all the baby parties, play dates, to start. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends that are now becoming families. I also want to congratulate Mrs. Maggie and Justin for their new edition arriving in March. Our two girls will definitely be playing together, while the mommies eat peanut M&M's :)

Work and school are still going. I am working on a research project right now that will end in mid April and hopefully right in time for my maternity leave. I will hopefully be successful in completing my Master's Degree this July and still have my job this coming August. Only the Lord knows what is in store for me, and I will take whatever he gives :) Wes's promotion is coming in March and we are all excited for him. I know he will ace his interview, he has matured so much with this job and I have seen an astounding difference in how he approaches all sorts of situations, with such concentration, assuredness and humbleness. I am so thankful to have him as my husband. Honey, you are the best provider, husband and friend I could have ever asked for. Thank you for all you do. I love you!!!

New Year!!!

Yeah a new year is upon us at the Agee household and we are more excited than ever because of our new edition to the family. Baby Farrah will arrive in May, possibly around the 15th. Wes has finished our guest/baby bathroom, and is starting on the nursery.Both sides of our family are very excited. Wes's parents are excited to become grandparents for the fourth time and my parents are looking forward to becoming first time grandparents. My dad is the last of his 14 brothers and sisters to finally become a grandparent. That's okay daddio, you still look incredible young for 52!!!!

Our recent visit to the doctor yielded great results. Farrah is growing beautifully. Everything is growing the size it should be. We have great ultrasound pictures, but for some reason, our scanner and computer are not able to post our pictures. I will keep trying though. Farrah is weighing in at 1 pound, and I am just weighing more!!HAHA! I keep walking up to three miles a day at the gym. Nothing to strenous because my belly starts to hurt, and the weight lifting has been put on hold. That is one thing I will be looking forward to after Farrah is born. Can't wait to hit the weights and start running again!!!

School starts back up for me tomorrow. I'll have to get used to waking up early and leaving at the crack of dawn again, well at least for the next four months. I have a school research project that will take place the next 16 weeks at school. I'm excited and a little overwhelmed. I hope I have the strength to get through three more quarters at FPU.

For anyone interested in knowing about when my baby shower will be, I have finally decided on April 11. It will be at my house and will probably be from 1-4. Details are still be worked out between my two moms. I have registered at Babies 'R' Us. Thanks Jeanie for all your help. I really had no idea what I really needed. I will be sending invites out in late Feb or early Mar. If I don't have you address and you would like to come for a fun girlie party, please send me your address by phone, email or any other way. The more women the better! I already have aunts coming from other states to help celebrate my new edition, not to mention lots of girlfriends from the BBW!!!What can I say, I love to have my favorite girls over to party like crazy.

I"ll keep trying to post my new pictures, hopefully I can get my scanner and computer fixed soon to show off my great looking girlie!! TATA for Now!!!
