5-14-09  Thursday.  Well yesterday I went to my doctor appointment and I was at 2cm dilated, 60% effaced, Station -1 and had my membrane stripped.  So now we are just waitting for the baby to come.  I am at 38 1/2 weeks. 
So update you about Ali.  She did not have a bladder infection.  She was holding it too long.  So  we are going to work on potty training when Oliva is here.  A lot of big changes for her and I dont want to overwhelm her all at once.   So I will keep you all posted as to when we do have the Baby. 

4-29-09  Well today I had scheduled my weekly checkup and then we had to add on a Doctor appointment for Alicia.  I suspect that she might have a bladder infection.  NOT FUN.  So to play it safe we are taking her in with me. 
As for last week at her 2 year check up she passed everything except the needs to gain weight.  But we already knew that.  No shots until she is 3 or 5 years.  sometime before she goes to school.  But her Weight is 22lb 6oz.  6%. Height is 33 1/2in 48%. and head circumference is 46, 23%.  The things is about her weight is that she eats all the time.  It is all health no junk food and she loves her milk all day long so I could not tell you besides the fact that she is an active little girl.  always doing something. 
For her Birthday party we had a good turn out of close family and close friends.  It was suppose to be a nice day until it rained. so we were all in the house again. She got a lot of summer clothes which she needed and some toys.  which is fine with me because we have a lot.  Drew and I also got her, her first bike.  She loves it.  I have some pictures of her on it. 
Drew right now is the one trying to teach her how to move the pedals.  That night we went over to the hotel that my mom and sisters were at and went swimming.  That was fun.  she was swimming by herself in no time. then she would not get out until the pizza came.  two slices later she was back in.  The kids ened up swimming for 3 1/2 hours.  by 9pm she was ready for bed and slept until 830 the next morning.  Drew got scared and ran into her room to check on her.  she was still sleeping until he was leaving and woke up.  She did take a nap again on our way into town for Nicole B's Baby shower then fell asleep during the gift opening. I guess she had a big day the day before. 
Ok well I will keep you posted on the Doc thing.  Oh and I forgot that last week when they checked my I was at 1cm. no eface.  So it starts. 

4-22-09  Two months have pasted since last time I wrote.  Well the updates are,  Ali has her 2 year check up today.  We will see how much she has grown since her 18th month check.  She has been talking a lot lately.  Why just the other day she told Drew and I that she was "NO, stay here."  We were shocked.  She has a mind of her own. Last night she tried to help us put in a door for down stairs.  she was measureing and thinking about it.  It was cute.  This weekend is her 2nd Birthday party.  This year we are doing close family and friends.  which is still 20-25  people. 
Update on Oliva,  I am now 35 weeks and now am doing doctor checks everyweek, starting today.   We are still hoping that on Wednesday May 20th I can have my linning striped and go into labor on the 21st and have her on the 22.  I can wish and dream, right?  haha.  Other than that, she is in a head down position.  She is going to be a big one this time.  I am all belly and still have 5 weeks.  I have no room.  haha.  Ok well that is what I got I will update you all when we get back from the Doctor. 
Later. Heidi, Alicia and Oliva  

2-26-09  Ok well this morning Ali came up to me and toltd me that she pottied.  so that ment she had just went. So I took her in the bathroom and asked her if she wanted to try on the potty, and when she got on she POOPED.  That was exciting.  This was the first time she went poop on the potty.  she has peed a couple of times but we can never catch it in time.  She does have big girl underpants that she likes to wear and when she does go pee she will tell me after she goes.  So that is it so far.  We are  still working on the training, and I hope that she gets it all figured out by the time Oliva is here.  That would be great not to have to pay for diaper for both.  I can dream, Right?.  haha.  have a good day.  later.

2-23-09  Well we had a great weekend.  We had our 4th Annual OktoberGras party.  This was Alicia's second.   We had my friend Abbie and her family, Jay, JJ and Aliana, over for the weekend.  It was a blast watching Alicia and JJ playing together.  When I was at work on sunday morning the Ziegler's were leaving and Alicia was not having that.  She ended up throwing a big fit and screaming "NO JJ LEAVE".  I hope we are able to have them go up together.  Abbie and I have already planned their wedding.  The other big news is that Alicia has been going on the potty.  BM's are not there yet, but Pee's are going good.  Cant wait until we are switched over.  Hoping to have that done before Oliva is here.  I started my 7th month today.  Only got 3 months to go and they are going to fly by fast.   Ok well talk to you all later.  Heidi

2-11-09  I am bored.  Ok well I am waiting to drink the orange drink for the doctor visit and there is nothing to do.  25mins.  This is going to be the 25 week checkup.  only 15 weeks to go.  It is really going to sneak up on us.  I keep telling drew that she is going to be here soon.  Something funny.  so we are talkign last night and he was telling is coworker that drew was going to work a little at highcliff so that he could get free golf for the summer.  the guy goes " so you are going to have that much time to golf.?"  drew- " well I mean I will be busy with the girls at night But durning the day when they are with heidi and napping then I have time to golf."  I told him as long as I get time to "golf" then we are ok.  Then Alicia took off her own diaper and ran around the house naked. 
Yesterday I took the children outside to play.  We put on boots, coats, hats, and mittens.  I put one little one in the stroller and the 3 older ones walked.  we went to the end of the drive way and then down to the other end of the parking lot.  It was all fun until they found the puddles.  the puddles were deep and muddy.  I took a couple of pics and a video on my phone.  They had a blast jumping and splashing.  I just laughed.  when they were all done I stripped them down at the front door so that they would not track mud in the house.  Messy but the best time.  Thank god the weather was nice but windy.  only 50 degrees in FEB.  Ok well I think that is all that I have for now.  I will right more later.

technically my line was, "I'll be too busy with the girls to work, but not too busy for free golf."

So today is the day that the new president was inaugurated.  So I thought that Alicia should see this and when I went upstairs to get here she was sleeping in her bed.  This was at 10:30am.  Nap time is at 12pm.  So I was a little shocked that she was sleeping.   I took pictures but have not posted them yet.  I will this weekend.
Other than that, Oliva has really been moving.  And just so people know Oliva is named after my Fathers, mother.  A little fact Oliva my grandmother past way May 13th, 2000.  And Oliva May is due on May 25th, 2009.  9 years after the passing of my grandmother.  I Think it would be really special if I did have her on the 13th.  But we will see when the time comes.  have a great day everyone.

1-11-08  Hello all.  I am so sorry about the long absentces.  OK here is what you are looking for.  updates on Alicia.  Well over the christmas weekend we traveled to MN to visit with my moms side of the family.  We got to see a lot of family.  I love that time.  It was hard coming back in the big snow storm.  We had left at 930am and got back at 930pm.  we did stop in the cities to visit with tawny and her boys.  Dustin took to Ali. He wanted to carry her everywhere and show her all of his toys.  She wanted to eat them all. He said that he wanted to babysit her.  I said that was fine.   After thatbig drive we went to Great grandma Krause's house.  This is Drew's grandmas.  That was fun.  Then on Chistmas morning we went over to grandma Naner's house and had our brunch, then bonnie and dons then back to nancys for dinner.  Then I had worked for three days.  Then for New Years Ali and I traveled to Grand Rapids MI for a wedding.  We had a blast.  Ali is a dance-a-holic.  I had to drag her off the floor at 11pm.  We took her back to the room to go to bed and when she was done nursing she thought that is was time to go bak out and dance some more.  I will get some pics form the bride and groom of her on the dance floor. You will just love the picture when you see it.  OH and how could i forget the best news,  on christmas day evening her present to us was that she crawled all the way up the stairs by herself and not telling anyone.  then on new years day she cut her first tooth.  I think it is nice the her big firsts are on big hoildays.  Easy for me to remember.  Well that is all for now.  Oh and her cut her second tooth on monday this week.  good time.  ok later.

12-6-07 Greetings all, Well this week we have been working on cleaning the house to have my whole side of the family come here to visit for ALicia's Baptism on sunday. Heather, Matt and the kids are coming on friday and the rest are coming on saturday afternoon.  We are very excited to see everyone again.  I hope that they will all fit in the house. 

Alicia has been getting into everything she can put her little hands on.  kind of cute but at the same time NO.  Well I am going to head to bed.  Talk to you all after the weekend. 

11-30-07  Ok well THANKSGIVING is over and all was great.  On thursday she went crasy with crawling.  On friday and that weekend she was everywhere.  Then on sunday when we got home Drew decided to show her how to stand up.  well we thought that she wouldn't figure that out for a while but we were wrong.  All week  she worked on it and this afternoon she got up, honlding onto the walker.  then this evening she was crying and I went to check on her "taking a nap" and she was standing in her crib.  What will she do next?  I don't know.  Today I also got a part time job working at the golf course supper club on some weekends.  We also decorated the chrismas tree.  I love this season.  Next weekend well be perty exciting.  we are having a bucnh of family and close friends come and join us at Alicia's  baptism. Can't wait.  Oh and Heather I am not going to change this back ground.  I like it.  haha. Love Heidi

11-20-07    we are getting ready for the christmas parade tonight in downtown appleton.  this will be her first.  she has really figured out what she can do with the whole crawling thing.  two nights ago Drew showed her how to pull herself up in her crib.  she did it once right after.  Thanksgiving is this week and we were invited over to drews cousins new house to celebrate there instead of at his grandmothers.  This will be nice to see everyone again.  We are also  really excited to go back again to Minnesota for the weekend of Thanksgiving.  I hope that all of you also have a get holiday weekend and safe driving.
