Christmas: Kaylee and Lucy


The Jagodik’s, 2007

It has been a very, very busy year in the Jagodik house. At the beginning of the year, we decided to do a “minor” remodel in our house, which turned into a “major” overhaul. Just as we were finishing cleaning up the dust, Christy gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Kaylee Jean Jagodik. Kaylee blessed our lives on May 19, and continues to amaze us every day.

Kaylee’s first big trip outside of Texas was to Tulsa to meet her great grandparents. We had a great weekend “oooo-ing and ahhhh-ing” about Kaylee.

In late July, we went to California, where Paul worked during the week, and Christy and Kaylee explored the coast. At the age of 2 months (and at the age of 30-something), Kaylee and Christy marveled at their first drive down Highway 1, through strawberry fields, beautiful cliffs, and Big Sur. Paul joined them on Friday to explore downtown San Francisco and the bay, and then over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sonoma and Napa Valleys to visit several wineries. While there, we got to see Wendell and Sherry and their precious Amalie. On the way back to San Francisco, Kaylee went on her first nice hike through Muir Woods and the beautiful redwoods.

Paul’s mom came to Austin to meet Kaylee and visit for a week in early August. She was so excited to spend time with her granddaughter! We had a great time.

In late August, we joined Christy’s parents in Utah for another week of fun. We stayed in Park City and went fly fishing and caught a bunch of fish, sat in the hot tub, and relaxed. We also spent a day in Salt Lake City and toured both a huge copper mine as well as Temple Square. We were able to watch the famous Tabernacle Choir rehearse – what a treat!

In October, Christy returned to work, and Kaylee started “school” at Primrose, near our home. The transition has gone well.

For Thanksgiving, we drove to Santa Fe for Christy’s family reunion. Kaylee had a lot of new people to meet! On the way home, we got stuck in a snow storm in Pecos, Texas. (We don’t recommend getting stuck in Pecos.)

For the holidays, we plan to stay in Austin to celebrate Kaylee’s first Christmas! Kaylee is almost 7 months old now, is sitting up, sleeping well, and eating solid foods. She babbles a lot, and is starting to show a real affinity for her puppy dog, Lucy. Kaylee is a very calm baby girl with a lot of smiles on her face!

We wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

It's a GIRL!!!









All,

Christy's water broke at 5pm on Friday and we were at the hospital by 7:30pm. Christy didn't really start her contractions until midnight, so we tried to sleep a little. At 5:30am on Saturday Christy started pushing and the baby arrived at 7:20am. Mom and baby are fine, dad is very tired. We just think it a perfect baby and can't wait for you all to meet her.



Her name is Kaylee Jean Jagodik. She was born 7lbs 15oz and 20 inches long.

Lucy is a TV STAR!!!

We sent in Lucy-bubblelips picture to KVUE (http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1387/4050/1600/791307/Lucy.jpg), and she was chosen as the daily winner by our weatherman! Precision Camera choses a monthly winner -- we are keeping our fingers crossed that Lucy will take home the trophy! There are some good pics, so the competition will be stiff. Needless to say, Paul and I are very proud parents...

Be sure to watch KVUE news to see her television debut on January 17!!

IT'S A GIRL!!

Paul and I went to the doctor today for our 20 week ultrasound... the sonographer was able to tell (100% he said) that we are going to have a baby girl! We are SOOOO excited. Marcia and Ed came in town for Christy's birthday and attended the appointment also... they had not ever seen an ultrasound, and were tickled to see all the baby parts, including the heart beat, fingers, toes, kidneys, brain, 4-chambered heart, facial features, etc. According to measurements, the baby is healthy and tracking a few days early. Dr. Bushart said that the baby is "fluffy", meaning that it has a properly-proportioned "big belly" (he said that he never calls a girl rotund, just "fluffy"!). The baby weighs 12 ounces, and she is about 12-14 cm long (head to toe); the heartbeat is still a healthy (for a baby) 144 beats per minute. We will post another ultrasound picture when we get it scanned in.

What a great birthday present for Christy, and a great present for Paul too! Happy New Year, everyone!
