Here is Frannie at one month. She is such a sweet and calm baby which has been wonderful, now if we could just get closer to sleeping through the night!! =)<br />
She was 90th in percentile in every area at her one month check up, 12 1/2 pounds adn 22 1/2 inches long. <br />
We love her so much and Rogers loves his "Sissy" too. She loves the swing which is a new experience for us and she will take a paci. Rogers would not do either, we call her a dream baby around this house!!Katie Howellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227307327237398721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625560053643705929.post-79661585606871889492012-07-30T08:52:00.000-05:002012-07-30T08:52:37.251-05:00Frances Adele Howell<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Frannie arrived at 7:20 on Wednesday July 18th. She was 7.15 lbs. and 20 inches long. She has been so calm and sweet and we could not be happier. It is amazing, she looks identical to Rogers new born pictures. I guess we know what a Howell baby will look like!!<br />

Here are some pictures of the last couple weeks before her big arrival.<br />

Rogers real birthday arrived and now we have a two year old. He heard me telling so many people that he was going to be, two in May, that now when you ask him how old he is, his response is, "Three in May." What a silly boy!<br />

Rogers loves to read his bible. Mama's pretty excited about this, almost every day he goes back to his room to read on his own. What a big kid!<br />

We have been spending a lot of time playing with our friends at the pool. My philosophy is pool fun the first half of the Summer and having a baby girl the second half. Rogers took swim lessons for two weeks and learned to kick and blow bubbles which was great. Next Summer we are going to head to the learn how to swim in two weeks lessons, so we have a year to get ready!<br />

With the way my posts go, you will probably get to meet a new little girl in our lives next time you stop by!

We did a big master bathroom redo back in January and February and I kept waiting until we got the light shades to post some pictures, well I have had them for about a month so here to you. <br />

Here was our beautiful master bathroom before the big transformation. My personal favorite was the pink tub and sink. Let's just say it is not the worst bathroom in our house... more to come about that with our next phase of renovation..<br />

Out with the old and in with the new, thank goodness!! With the MAJOR help of Eddleman Properties, they transformed our bathroom from a VERY old pink tub into an incredible walk in shower. We kept the same look from the kitchen and brought it into the bathroom with the same counter tops and cabinetry.<br />
<br />
We love it!!!<br />

I will tell this crazy story through pictures, it is always more fun that way, right? Saturday morning was Rogers 2nd Firetruck birthday party at our house. All of the kids loved the jumpy house, water table, coloring and then the main event showed up. The firetruck came to our house and we got to play on the truck and the firemen gave all the kiddos hats. So fun!<br />

After a successful birthday party, we relaxed and watched the Kentucky Derby which was great. With my parents in town the derby is a must! Then it was time to celebrate my mom's birthday, to say Rogers was excited about MORE cake was an understatement.. the cake didn't look so hot but it was yummy and made with love, right Jojo??<br />

This is where things get a little interesting, thank goodness that I don't have pictures for this. But after my parents left to go back to Franklin, we had our small group from church over for pizza and I started not feeling so great. I thought I just had a UTI and so we got some medicine called in, but after our small group left and Scott went to get the medicine I started to have extreme back pain just on my right side. It was so intense I could not sit or lie down. I called the nurse on call and she told me that we needed to head up to labor and delivery to get checked out. Well, many hours later I was admitted and learned that I was having some kidney stone problems. Let's just say this pain is not for the weak at heart, it was terrible. And I was so dehydrated I was having contractions a minute apart, perfect just perfect... Scott and I spent two nights in the hospital and finally passed something and got the pain under control. Frannie is still safe in sound in my belly thank goodness. A HUGE thank you to Saty for staying with Rogers and to Jordan and Liz for coming to the rescue on Monday having a fun play date at our house. We would not have made it without ya'll!!<br />
<br />
I am so glad the last few weekends have been WAY less eventful, I will take it! Hopefully we will not be back up to the labor and delivery floor until July 18th for our c-section. I can't believe we only have 9 weeks left until we get to meet her, I can't wait!!Katie Howellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227307327237398721noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625560053643705929.post-75003209388853681612012-03-04T13:36:00.004-06:002012-03-04T14:07:13.799-06:00And Our New Baby Is....A LITTLE GIRL!!!

We are so excited about our new baby sister or baby brother that will be making an appearance July 25th!!<div><br /></div><div>As you know from our story, we are a fertility family. We did IVF to have Rogers and when we were ready to have a second baby we made our way back to ART to go for it. We had four frozen embryos waiting for us. So we did a transfer of two on them back in June, I was so confident that this was going to work, but right before we did the transfer we learned that with a frozen embryo there is a 30% chance that it will take, compared to a fresh embryo which has a 60% chance at taking. I did everything I was suppose to, laying on my back for a week and then taking it easy the next week, which is quite difficult with a one year old by the way. My mom came in town and helped take care of Rogers which was such a blessing. We learned nine days later that neither of the embryos took. So we made arrangements for the next month to use our last two embryos. We went through the process again and the awnser was a no again. </div><div><br /></div><div>I just want to stop here and tell you what amazing friends we have. After the second month of this journey and hearing a no for the second month in a row, our friends rallied around us. We went to the lake with some of our best friends and the weekend became a time of loving on us and morning with us. I could not have asked for anything more, and I am so grateful for their love and friendship!</div><div><br /></div><div>We went back to ART to regroup and figure out what to do next. I really struggled with the second no, because I just could not understand why God would have given us these 4 healthy embryos and have none of them work. As we moved forward we decided to do 3 IUIs, if none of them worked then we knew that we would take a year off and try IVF next August. About this time I started a bible study up at our church, that was called To Walk and Not Grow Weary. Was that for me or what??!! I had no clue what I was walking into, but the first week we studied about Sarah and her infertility and I about lost it. I just felt like God was reminding me that he had not forgotten me, and it was not by chance that I had shown up in this bible study with a leader who had struggled with infertility for 11 years. My leader reminded me that regardless of how many shots I take or how many IUIs we do, the Lord decides if it will be a yes or a no.</div><div>Well, we did 2 IUIs and both did not produce a pregnancy. I had gone to bible study and we were studying Rebekah and how she had to wait on the Lord before having her son. I left bible study and the Lord spoke so clearly to me, saying, Katie, it is time to wait on me and stop all of the treatments. I had a choice, either I would trust the Lord or I would continue to try things my way. Everything that was in me wanted to go back to ART to do the last IUI. But instead I called Scott in tears and told him that it was time to stop everything and that we needed to wait on the Lord. </div><div>The next month I was feeling funny and took a pregnancy test on a Monday or course it said not pregnant which is every pregnancy test I had ever taken. The following Friday I was still feeling interesting so I took one more, and it said pregnant. I almost died!! My hands were shaking and I called Scott at work at 7 in the morning. I said I know normal people wait until their husbands come home to tell them this, but I am looking at a positive pregnancy test. He said he didn't know what to do, but that I needed to go buy more tests and take them! Off to the store we went and after taking 2 more tests, all of them said the same thing, pregnant!!!</div><div>We did not obey the Lord because we thought He would give us a baby, but what an amazing gift that He has blessed us with. We are thrilled!!</div>Katie Howellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227307327237398721noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625560053643705929.post-30760608913949301182011-11-18T13:23:00.004-06:002011-11-18T13:27:28.852-06:00We Have Got an Indian on Our Hands!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0NcoSZzhyphenhyphenu18Yg8C1QaOmwESu5nDaLl9pwkDkdkAOBFNjMtoCPdhHr1rYaZRwQQ4tsoLAG7yWhQnjWVV5FV3X1CZhhfBGD9C-sOixLOMsJ0lt11pMcUplAO9h3hsHc3GpgcJb83WRAV0/s1600/IMG_0269.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0NcoSZzhyphenhyphenu18Yg8C1QaOmwESu5nDaLl9pwkDkdkAOBFNjMtoCPdhHr1rYaZRwQQ4tsoLAG7yWhQnjWVV5FV3X1CZhhfBGD9C-sOixLOMsJ0lt11pMcUplAO9h3hsHc3GpgcJb83WRAV0/s400/IMG_0269.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676419380414082098" /></a>This is what I saw when I was going to pick up Rogers from school yesterday on the bulletin board outside his room.

The new owners wanted to be in the house in a month, so that meant that we were going to be moving out VERY quickly! Scott did not want to make an offer on a house until after the inspection on our house. So to say that I was extremely nervous about finding the house we are going to spend the next thirty years in just two weeks was an understatement. Our plan was to move into a rental house if we did not find something we loved. I had found the area of Vestavia that I really wanted to be in, and our realtor showed me everything there. We found a ranch with a full basement that needed a lot of tender love and care. I loved that we could make the house our own. So while we were in Boston, which was amazing, with some of our great friends Brown and Katherine, we ended up buying it and then started the renovations!! Pictures will be coming, I feel like I need to re-post this post with pictures later, but we don't have alot of things at the new house right now.. a kitchen, den, cable, or Internet. </div><div>Anyways, we decided to use Eddleman Properties for our renovation and I have loved working with them!! We have four or five phases of renovations to make this house our perfect home. But first phase, which is going on right now is new hardwood floors, painting EVERYTHING, new light fixtures, new laundry room in the basement, new doors (inside and out), a new AWESOME kitchen and den, new AC unit and a breaker box to take the place of the fuse box. </div><div>Now when you do finally see pictures of our house, yes you will say, does the Brady Bunch live here?? I promise that when we are done with everything, that will not be what comes to your mind!</div><div>And yes, we are living around the chaos.. Saty and Pop were so sweet to let us stay with them through the renovation of our bedrooms, and when the rooms were finished we moved into our construction zone of a house. So now we sleep at our new house and then Rogers and I move to the Howell's house during the day. It is going to be amazing to stay in our house and not move around, but we are so blessed to have somewhere to go during the day! </div><div>On to other news... Rogers turned one on May 27th, yes we now have a 13 month old, that is so darn cute and also likes to throw really loud temper tantrums. Sorry friends that we went to pizza with last Friday, they got quite an earful!! The whole restaurant was staring at us because of my screaming, very loudly, I may add child. Perfect...I always thought I would never be that girl with the obnoxious kid , well I was completely that girl, and that was why I quickly left before the pizza even came to the table. Liz, thanks for bringing me pizza later! You are the best!! </div><div>I will leave you with this bit of new, I went to Italy at the end of May with Saty and my cousin Robin. It was incredible to say the least... I promise to put pictures up when I get my computer back!! If you ever have the chance to go to Florence, Tuscany, and Rome, just say yes, you won't be sorry!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, that is enough for now. I promise to be back sooner that three months.. </div>Katie Howellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227307327237398721noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625560053643705929.post-35746502261454457382011-03-24T16:07:00.003-05:002011-03-25T09:49:28.023-05:0010 Months and Counting<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjIiQHdqE6JGKHdByVGaHUj0iQ1cnUEWqNL0N60HioHzVA_b7oA5Ne9uA9iZjq_WWezPFxHN_bZHK9_HGDtsDM9NsQyT-8dnI4eF3DCrq1m1_Bg4b2flwknz1RFaipU3uJHFSMyPsy9v8/s1600/IMG_2130.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjIiQHdqE6JGKHdByVGaHUj0iQ1cnUEWqNL0N60HioHzVA_b7oA5Ne9uA9iZjq_WWezPFxHN_bZHK9_HGDtsDM9NsQyT-8dnI4eF3DCrq1m1_Bg4b2flwknz1RFaipU3uJHFSMyPsy9v8/s400/IMG_2130.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587757200284828034" /></a>I have been thinking lately about the last ten months of our lives. How different they have been in every way possible. We have this little blessing that keeps growing and growing and turning into a little boy with a personality and a lot of spunk!! While we were at the beach last week, can you tell we love the beach, but who doesn't, right?! <i>Side note, thank you Ty Howell for a wonderful trip to Seaside!!</i> Julie, my sister in law, and I were walking around and I was talking about the difficulty of worshipping the Lord during this time in our lives. <i>Another side note, we are so excited that Aunt Ju Ju and Uncle Clay are going to be adding to the Howell clan with a new baby on the way in September.</i> Back to where I was headed, it makes me feel a little better when I read from many mom's thoughts that spending significant time with the Lord really does have to come in different forms rather than how it did before the little bundle of joy arrived. I am still figuring this out 10 months down the road, and I know that this will be a constant journey for the rest of my life. It is just so easy to go to church and stand before the Lord and whole-heartedly commit myself once again to daily devotion and quit times and the next Sunday I am in the same place I was the week before. I think constant prayer and diligence just need to be a bigger part of my life. Any ideas to help??<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIPkr8Mk205GMPs3j7j-Dw1Pb0Og3YkxhcxCCLpoWG_b7uVtZXP70Vu1xh3qJ4u3ppRdkwgQHoKVW5QcEbJDE3C2bta5dM1cbW0T_JoO3hLNzCrENkcVYhpTuG6cmPgevxRhSZ8b0Zt8/s1600/IMG_2119.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIPkr8Mk205GMPs3j7j-Dw1Pb0Og3YkxhcxCCLpoWG_b7uVtZXP70Vu1xh3qJ4u3ppRdkwgQHoKVW5QcEbJDE3C2bta5dM1cbW0T_JoO3hLNzCrENkcVYhpTuG6cmPgevxRhSZ8b0Zt8/s400/IMG_2119.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587757197954954690" /></a>I wasn't sure if I would be the type of mom that needed to have something to do all the time. I mean we get out of the house EVERY day, and if we didn't, I think I would go insane, but even for a few days during the week if it is just the two of us, I am completely content. Don't get me wrong after a few days of a constant one on one date, I am in need of hanging with some friends. But it is amazing to me, that I am not counting down the seconds until Scott gets home, usually.. =) Another thing that the Lord laid before me when Rogers was quite young, was the opportunity to work from home. When I worked at Canterbury before he came, and a little after Rogers arrival, I was in charge of the finances for their Mother's Day Out and Day Care. Literally the day I left for good, which was very bittersweet, I was told about this job, being the financial secretary for Red Mountain Church. I ended up getting the job which was wonderful and quite overwhelming. After many tears and much anxiety things have calmed down and I am so grateful to have this job that I can do from home. What a blessing, while Rogers is snoozing I SHOULD be doing my job. Sometimes the Bachelor from the night before that is on dvr, or my favorite show Parenthood is calling me to watch, and I do say yes to the tv calling a lot of the time. But I do try to leave the right amount of time for the higher priorities...most of the time.. until that little buddy boy decides to wake up one hour into his nap. Now that is another story..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdz05exOI-5ovgpWY8ZaqftyhXf9nJ9ObnR9y2pNuEJ5k5GoFeixa40tbSYHe9goHCKAjULGuAd9tuCoGldRgEgZ9tLo3qGdlE3ESsqPjJVngchWvufBD_7lAYxiZWZdG0hW_O1tfpdrA/s1600/IMG_2087.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdz05exOI-5ovgpWY8ZaqftyhXf9nJ9ObnR9y2pNuEJ5k5GoFeixa40tbSYHe9goHCKAjULGuAd9tuCoGldRgEgZ9tLo3qGdlE3ESsqPjJVngchWvufBD_7lAYxiZWZdG0hW_O1tfpdrA/s400/IMG_2087.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587757191314680642" /></a>And now we are on to the next chapter of the Scott, Katie and Rogers journey, looking for our "grown up" house as I like to call it and thinking about the future of our family. Who knows where God will put us and what next little blessing he will bring into our lives. But one thing is for sure, when I look back at the last ten months of my life, I know that the Lord is present, guiding us, directing us, and forming us into who He desires us to be. <div><br /></div><div>I thought a little wrap up was needed, it has been quite a while of fun pictures, but a little depth is good too, right?!</div>Katie Howellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227307327237398721noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625560053643705929.post-66877910551221222912011-03-24T15:48:00.005-05:002011-03-24T16:07:00.759-05:00House For Sale House For Sale<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzA3G6jnGnBr6SxV8K0ydNr7gQeeP2mtilVK8mgUf2hviysgDXQdTt5qZ5bBY2R-5-pb-pBsJOOsnOAqcoCi21Kq346uucr_74LHYV-VOVLiYU04DOhD30XaxQSUHKKm_t7IuaE0LbTEA/s1600/492864_1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzA3G6jnGnBr6SxV8K0ydNr7gQeeP2mtilVK8mgUf2hviysgDXQdTt5qZ5bBY2R-5-pb-pBsJOOsnOAqcoCi21Kq346uucr_74LHYV-VOVLiYU04DOhD30XaxQSUHKKm_t7IuaE0LbTEA/s400/492864_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587755341812616834" /></a><br />The Howells are on the move because we are in need of some more space.

What a blessing that each week when Rogers and I could just be hanging out together all alone, we can pick up and go visit these sweet friends.

He has gotten to meet so many fun family and friends already. We made a trip when he was four weeks old up to Franklin so that he could meet a lot of my extended family and he got to meet his sweet cousin Maggie for the first time. Maggie and Rogers are a month a part and it was so fun to see them together. My sister and brother in law were troupers and drive the whole way from Dallas, Texas to see everyone!! </div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494190244167693618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1U5D2xvqM6A_oPPJwhkwCJDxEoSfDGuofwg03eKTRm4AgCgTpqeZC7KcJfiGQIgPnXgYi1m8TzeQZ9iR9INjlQVTl1flfjZIJw8MNy0MRO2nDFUccFQg9Mfr3F5F7zLYysHjShwOeq20/s400/IMG_0485.JPG" /><br />Last weekend Scott had a bachelor party for our great friend Brent, and so Rogers and I went to Franklin to see my parents and then headed to my Uncle Phil and Aunt Christy's lake house for the day.
