Crue's Santa Outfit

The day before Thanksgiving part 2

I put up 2 posts in a row so you will need to scroll down to see the first part of these postings. Anyway, here is Crue at the beach working on his different smiles. He loved the ocean and the breeze and even liked digging his toes into the sand.

The day before Thanksgiving part 1

Today was such a beautiful day. My cousin Crystal came from Vegas to visit and we headed down to Blue Lagoon where Abe was working. The weather was fantastic and we saw a school of dolphins and a whale. We saw the blowhole and followed the whale down the beach, we saw the tail and the whole body. It was amazing, I have never seen a whale from the shore before.

My nursing coverup became Crue's makeshift hat, since I forgot to bring one for him.

The three of us.

Crue sucking on his fingers, it seems to be his favorite thing to do lately.

Wedding Weekend

Two weekends ago Crue and I went to Northern California for my best friend from high school's wedding, it was a lot of fun to see old friends. Crue loved seeing his Grandma and he got to meet both of his uncles for the first time. Here are some pics from the weekend in no particular order. Crue is now talking so much, grabbing at everything and trying to put it in his mouth, and smiling and laughing a lot.

Crue at 3 months in his hat

Crue is 3 months today, we went to the doctor this morning and he weighs 14 pounds (74%), and is 24 1/4 inches(70%). He is so much fun, smiling constantly and cooing a lot. Crue's good buddy Eli, below, showed up with the cutest hat, so of course we had to go get Crue one. Here they are below at Chrissy and Brent's going away get together. We are going to miss them.
I thought he looked so cute in his hat that I took a few more pictures of him in it. He isn't much of a fan of the hat but as you can see I love it.

Two more pics. He doesn't really look like a small newborn anymore.

Baby Crue has arrived!!!

Crue Benjamin Oyler has arrived. He weighed in at 7 pounds 1 oz, and was 20 1/2 inches. Contractions started at about 12 am yesterday morning and we arrived at the hospital at about 3 am. I was already to a 5 when we got there and was ready to push by about 8 am but we had to wait for the doctor. After about 20 minutes of pushing Crue arrived at 9:45 am. He is such a good baby and has had no problems. The only thing that has a big challenge so far is breastfeeding, but hopefully it doesn't hurt for that long. He has a strong suck so I guess that is great. We got to come home today


Coming home in his carseat.

Checking everything out.

We will post more pics soon when we upload Abe's camera. These are just some teasers.

Last Weekend

Last Weekend after my mom came down for my baby shower, since Abe was sick, I decided to got Nor-Cal with her and see the family and some friends.



Getting foot massages in Chinatown in San Fran with my best girls from high school. The foot massages were so nice, I highly recommend this place.

Kisses to my baby from my first baby(Freckles). I am 32 weeks at this point.

My mom, sister, and I at the baby shower that my friends threw for me.

We finally got our maternity pics back, so hopefully I will post those soon!

April Trip

Recently I was lucky enough to get to go on a trip and visit both of my sisters. My sister Kendra lives in Delaware so I was able to hang out with her for a few days and see the kids I used to be a live-in nanny for. They have gotten so cute and big. Then we flew to London with a 9 hour layover in Chicago. We met my sister Linsey in London and spent a few days with her. Lastly, we spent one day in Norway as we found some cheap tix and were ready to move on from London. I couldn't figure out how to post these pics corretly so they start with the end of the trip and move on to the beginning. Here we are in Norway, there was still snow on the ground. We went to the site of the 2011 olympics and saw where they were building all of the ski jumps.

Us at Stonehenge, we rented a car for the day and drove to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Bath, and Wales.

Windsor Castle.

The three of us at the London Bridge.

At Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard. We didn't see much as it was so crowded.

Hyde Park. Free public bathrooms! Good for a pregnant Lady!

Before we left for London we were able to visit our good friends Brian and Lindsay and their little boy Colby in Baltimore for dinner. Baby and I in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

Our first stop! We took a little roadtrip to Washington D.C.

Announcing.....

Here is a pic at 15 weeks. On Tuesday we have our 20 week check up and we find out the sex, so we can't wait. We will post better pics and the good news soon. Baby is due Aug 5.
