Big Sister


Erica became a big sister on July 12, 2010! Our family welcomed with joy Paige Elizabeth Livesey, 7 pounds 10 ounces at 1:15PM. Erica was thrilled that Paige had finally heard our plea, "come out Paige, come out now" Erica would say to my tummy every morning; "when is my baby sister going to be here?" she would ask. After my due date passed us by, I really began to wonder if this baby would ever make her appearance!





Having Paige here . . . I wonder how life was without her, she's just part of this little family now and we love and kiss on her every day! Erica is so good with her, very gentle and caring. She tells me when Paige "needs her mommy" or "wants to eat". She's a natural!

Erica had her second scan last week and the early results show that the nodule on her lungs is gone. She will, however, stay on the medication and have the scan done again in two months to be absolutely positive. We will go see Dr. Taylor tomorrow for a check up, blood draw and to address to concerns we have about Erica's skin. But, all in all, a routine day.




Miss Erica turned 4 on August 3rd. We celebrated in 4 year old style fit with friends, face painting and a bounce house. I sat back in awe . . . my baby is 4.

Congratulations to your beautiful (and now larger) family!

I wanted to update you on my participation in Team in Training this year in honor of Erica. I have raised over $1100, but due to some unforeseen (though happy!) circumstances, I will be unable to continue my training for this year's event. I am 4 months pregnant and on doctor's orders to take it a little easier! I will be back to the Team after the baby is born - now I will have one more important reason to keep participating! So happy to hear Erica is doing well.

Much love to all of you.
