Update on Sam!

I really need to get better about this blog. I update facebook but then forget to write a note over here. So sorry to leave you all hanging! But, maybe it will convince the last few of you holding out to just join facebook already ;)

In the Hospital

The past couple weeks have been very trying and I apologize for not filling in those who don't follow facebook.

Update!

Hello everyone!

So much has happened since I last wrote. I have to admit, I'm not the best at keeping up with this site, but I am definitely going to try harder!

Where to start?

She's here!

Sorry that this is a few days late, but I feel like I've got a pretty good excuse - I just can't stop looking at her! Joanna Simone Shrader joined us on May 18th at 7:37pm weighing 6 pounds 10 ounces and measuring 20 inches long. She has a full head of dark hair and is the spitting image of her daddy.

Lot of random pictures below...

Sorry for the lack of updates!

It's been a pretty hectic month for all of us over here and I have been horrible about updating. Sorry about that, you guys! This is going to be kinda quick but here is what's been going on...

Amendment One

This started out as a facebook status. I wanted to express my feelings on this issue but then I got on a roll and when it hit the 34,566 character mark I decided to put it here instead.

Back on the bedrest

So, it's been a crazy busy couple of weeks in this house.

Family Pictures!

I want to thank all of you again who voted for us in the photo giveaway contest a few weeks ago! Thanks to all of you WE WON! We have been so touched by Sara's generosity and kindness.

Baby Shrader

For those of you who don't know, our sister-in-law Becca works as an ultrasound tech at Duke Perinatal. Duke's amazing, she's amazing, and when she offered to do a 3D/4D ultrasound of our little jelly bean for us, we were thrilled! It is amazing to see all the advancements that have been made in the ultrasound world. After looking at these incredibly realistic pictures I pulled out Cameryn's ultrasounds from 6 and a half years ago. You can't even tell it's a baby in there! Anyways, for those of you not on facebook, here are a few of the shots from Tuesday.

New Treatment Center

Hi everybody! Sorry that it's been so long. We've been staying incredibly busy but also haven't really had any news-worthy updates in a few weeks.
