Update

2008-04-19T10:52:00.002-05:00

I know I haven't updated in awhile but this past month had been pretty busy. We went to Myrtle Beach with Greg's parents the week before Easter. We had a great time and enjoyed spending some time together as a family. Darius & I did ALOT of shopping thanks to Nana and Greg was able to spend a few days out on the golf course with his Dad AKA Poppy. We ate at some incredible restaurants and even got Darius' picture next to a guitar autographed by Darius Rucker (his namesake) at the local Hard Rock Cafe. I will post some pictures of our trip soon.

We traveled back home on Good Friday and spent Easter weekend with my family. I got to see my newest nephew Gavin again. It shouldn't surprise me how fast he is growing since he's just 12 weeks behind Darius. Darius looked like the nerd he will probably be in his first Easter outfit. With 2 nerdy white parents, he doesn't stand much of a chance!

Then we decided to have our landscaping finished and a new wood laminate floor put in downstairs at the same time we had a little visitor for a week. Greg and I acted as temporary foster parents for a 14 month old boy until his adoptive parents could get here. His birth mom had originally planned on placing him with this couple from birth but then backed out 2 days after he was born and just recently changed her mind. It was a sweet reunion and great to see the family together at last. Darius really enjoyed having a new friend and it gave us a glimpse of whats to come in the next few months.

And during all of this Darius turned 9 months old! He is really growing fast. It's so exciting to see how he changes every day. He became mobile recently and while he's not truly crawling, he can get anywhere he wants to go. He can sit himself back up from a laying position now and scoot on his bottom. He sort of puts a knee up while on his tummy and then falls forward to get closer to his target. He has started giving me hugs and kisses and I have to be careful when I kiss on him because now he will return the favor but in a much messier and louder way. It's very sweet and makes me feel like a Mom. Which leads me to his latest achievement. Thursday I got to hear the sweetest, most loving, amazing sound I have waited my whole life to hear. Darius said Ma-Ma. I will have to close with that because nothing could possibly top that.

Baby Fashion Show

2008-03-12T13:24:00.001-05:00

We're leaving for Myrtle Beach this weekend and even though it won't be quite warm enough I thought we needed a new swimsuit just in case. Darius also got some big boy pajamas too. He is starting to look less like a baby & more like a boy. That 1st birthday is just around the corner!

2008-03-12T13:23:00.001-05:00

We're ready for Spring!

2008-03-11T16:00:00.000-05:00

Darius went to his first park today and discovered that he LOVES being outdoors and LOVES to swing. As soon as I put him in the swing he started giggling. He had so much fun. I can't wait till summer!

Saturday Fun

2008-03-10T10:16:00.002-05:00

Darius had his first date Saturday. Greg & I kept my friend, Kashia's 2 kids. Rylie is 6 weeks younger than Darius and Kyrian will be 3 in May. (That's Kyrian in the background, he wouldn't let me take his picture) The three of them had a good time playing together until Darius started throwing up. He's finally feeling better today.

Also I started using slide shows from slide.com because my photobucket slide shows weren't working well. But you have to click on the X in the upper right corner when it gets to the end of the show to view it again. But adding slide.com shows improved the quality of photobucket so I don't know what's going on.

Darius is 8 months old today!

The Triplets

2008-03-09T20:52:00.003-05:00

Not the best picture of me but probably how I would look all the time if I were the one raising the triplets. The babies are now home & doing great! I miss them and their Mommy & Daddy so much! They were here for a month and we became very close. The good news is they don't live too far from Greg's hometown and we'll get to see them next week when we go to Myrtle Beach!

Sometimes I'm just too cute for words!

Baby Lily

2008-02-08T22:21:00.001-06:00

This precious baby was just too cute not to share with everyone. Baby Lily was born a couple of weeks ago & is at home with adoptive family now. Adoptive parents & birth parents were such a treat to work with. Both so sweet & amazing & a beautiful story!

Triplets

2008-01-26T13:41:00.000-06:00

I had my first adoption experience with mulitple babies today. The triplets were born this morning after mom's water broke. They were a little under 6 weeks early but are doing great! Mom is doing excellent also! 2 boys and 1 girl. The boys weigh 4lb 9 oz and baby girl weighs 4lb 2 oz. Adoptive parents were there and adopting mom got to be in for C-section. Babies are in NICU of course but are doing good. 1st baby boy never needed oxygen but other boy and girl are needing a little help breathing. I have never seen so many nurses and doctors! It was a very neat experience getting to go to the NICU to see the babies. Please pray for these little miracles that they will continue to do well, be healthy and be able to go home soon. Also pray for birthparents and their family. It's never easy to see birth families grieve but it's awesome to witness that sacrifice they are able to make for their children. It's truly an act of love. Just a tiny glimpse of what it must have been like for our Heavenly Father. Last but not least please pray for the adoptive parents. What a challenge that lies ahead but one they will never regret or 2nd guess!

Triplets!

Mom

2008-01-25T11:40:00.000-06:00

I'm sitting here holding my baby boy & feeling like the luckiest woman in the world. Sometimes it hits me: I'm a mommy! It's the most natural feeling but occassionally I stop & realize Darius is MY son! I know that everything happens in God's time and I probably was too selfish and not ready to accept the responsibility that comes with motherhood until now but now after so many years of being an aunt & watching my friends have babies, it's finally my turn to feel that unconditional love that I've longed for for so long. When he looks at me with those beautiful eyes and reaches for my face, it's like he knows and can feel all the love I have for him. I'm his Mommy and he needs me. What a wonderful feeling! I have felt that love from my nieces and nephews but ultimately at the end of the day they would prefer their Mommy over me. And that's the way it should be. I'm so glad that I have been able to be very involved as an aunt and nothing could ever replace that either. They are as precious to me as Darius is and my heart melts every time one of them reaches for me for a hug or kiss or just can't wait to share a story with me. But I've always had to "give" them back eventually, they're not mine to keep. Now I have that forever and always relationship with my child. He's not of my flesh but he is a part of me. I heard someone refer to their adopted child by saying "he didn't grow under my heart, but in it" And it's so true. He is mine and I am his. As an adult when I'm sick or sad I always go to my mom for comfort. There's nothing like it in the world, to lay with my head against her and have her stroke my hair or my back. Mom. Such a simple short word but the most important title (second only to Child of God) I will ever have. Maybe it's the cough syrup or lack of sleep but I'm feeling a little sappy and I just wanted to say some things that were in my heart. (Come back on Valentine's Day & maybe I'll write about how wonderful Greg is and how much I love being a wife!)

Time Flies!!

2008-01-12T22:05:00.001-06:00

Darius turned 6 months old on Wednesday. I can't believe how fast the past 6 months have flown by. The 2nd picture was taken Wednesday evening at church with his nursery friends minus his cousin Jake (he was at home with sick brother Jonah) He had his checkup on Thursday. He now weighs 16 lb 15 oz and is 27 inches tall. He jumped from 50th to 75th percentile for height since 4 months and went down to 25th from 50th for weight. Dr. Mickle said that's great and won't have to lecture me about obesity. He handled shots well but this time it was not "out of sight, out of mind." Everytime the nurse came back in he frowned and cried at her! At least he wasn't mad at me! He started eating cereal (hates rice but likes oatmeal) at 4 months and has now mastered squash, green beans, and sweet potatoes. He loves food! He also loves his bottle! He has definately started to recognize his bottle and once he sees it he throws a fit till it's in his mouth. He is sitting up very well by himself but needs someone close by to catch him in case he goes to far to the side. He is playing with toys and is able to reach for them & grasp them first try now! He laughs all the time (screams is more like it) at home but is already showing a different personality outside the home. He is more reserved in front of anyone but Greg & I but still will flash that gorgeous smile on cue. He is fussy only when he's sleepy. He continues to be the light of our lives and gives me the best kisses I've ever received! My favorite time with him now is when I pick him up and he puts his arms around my neck or on my face and gives me those sweet kisses. I try to enjoy every minute of the day with him because I know that 1st birthday is just around the corner!

1st Basketball game

2008-01-10T14:20:00.001-06:00

Darius went to his first basketball game Tuesday night. I had never been to Bartlesville High School's new gym & it's amazing. I wish we had it when I was there. We used to have to show up to the JV games to get a good seat. Darius was more interested in his Granny than the game. Maybe next year.

Already a Man

2008-01-10T14:10:00.001-06:00

I guess it was inevitable. Darius is already a man. He won't take his eyes off the TV no matter what. He was sitting in his exersaucer playing when the TV caught his eye. He can turn his seat around but chose the easier way.

Darius gets his first haircut!

2008-01-07T17:25:00.001-06:00

Party Time!!

2008-01-07T17:10:00.001-06:00

Fun Fun Fun!! My sister and her family came over for a New Year's Eve party. We started out watching the Cowboys win the Insight Bowl (go Pokes!), played a little Wii and then rang in the New Year with Dick Clark. Greg fell asleep on the couch 30 min before midnight and was in bed by 15 till. Darius almost lasted that long! We always had so much fun with my cousins on New Years growing up and I hope our kids will enjoy it as much as we did.

Christmas 2007

2008-01-07T16:44:00.001-06:00

We had a great first Christmas with Darius. It was so much fun watching his eyes light up when looking at the Christmas tree and tearing into his presents like he knew what they were. I am also looking forward to future years when he's old (& young) enough to believe in Santa and when he starts to help set up the Nativity as he learns about the true reason we celebrate Christmas.

Ice Storm Fun

2008-01-07T16:17:00.001-06:00

With very little to do with no electricity for 3 1/2 days, we ended up putting together and giving Darius one of his Christmas presents early. He loves his exersaucer! He will sit in it for over an hour and watch the dogs play. He has already grown so much in the past month since he got it. We will soon have to move it up a level.

Meeting the Big Guy

2007-12-02T15:50:00.001-06:00

Greg & I took Darius to Woodland Hills Mall to meet Santa. This is probably the first & last time in a long time that he will sit on Santa's lap smiling!

Look how big I am!

Thanksgivng at Granny & Papa's

2007-12-02T15:45:00.001-06:00

We celebrated with my family the weekend before Thanksgiving. All of the Pannell cousins together!

Thanksgiving at South Carolina

2007-12-02T15:40:00.001-06:00

We went to South Carolina to spend Thanksgiving with Greg's parents and his Grandmother. Grandpa, Greg & I took Darius around the campus of the University of South Carolina for some pictures. While we were there, Greg'g grandma fell and broke her hip. She's had surgery and is doing rehab now getting ready to move to a Skilled Nursing Facility.

Random pictures

2007-12-02T15:15:00.001-06:00

These are some random pictures that I like from Darius' Shawnee naming ceremony and Grandmother Anderson's birthday party that I haven't posted before.

Darius is 4 months old!

2007-11-09T17:43:00.001-06:00

My baby is 4 months old today! He is growing so fast. He is now 14 lbs 4 oz and is 25 1/4 in long. Both are in the 50 percentile. His doctor said he's perfect! He did much better with his shots this time. At 2 months he cried all day until I gave him Tylenol but today he slept for about 5 hrs afterwards and then woke up happy. These are some pictures we took today (We were just trying on the Santa outfit but it looked so cute I had to include it) Here are a few things he's doing now:
* rolls onto his side
* chews on his hands (or mine) every chance he gets
* twirls his hair in his fingers when eating or sleepy
* teething (he actually has a tooth coming in on the top, it will be awhile before its all the way through but it's poking out now)
* very interested in my food (we're starting cereal tonight when Daddy gets home)
* sleeps from 10pm until 6-8am
* laughs all the time
* plays with rattles and teething toys
* melts my heart every time I look at him

We're final!!!

2007-11-08T15:48:00.000-06:00

Darius' adoption was finalized on Monday, November 5th. We are so happy and relieved. A big thank you to everyone who has lifted us up in prayer & support over the last 4 months! We could not have gone through this without you!

Branson, Birthday, & Football

2007-11-08T15:42:00.001-06:00

Greg, Darius & I went to Branson last week. Greg's parents were there for a few days and it was also my niece's birthday. We then followed Greg's parents to Fayetteville, Arkansas to watch South Carolina play Arkansas. The Gamecocks lost unfortunately but we still had a great time.

Happy Halloween!

2007-11-08T15:04:00.000-06:00

Happy Belated Halloween! Darius was a turtle for his first Halloween. We went to our church's Fall Festival where Greg & I worked one of the booths and then went to see Bump Bump (my Grandma) & Granny & PaPa (my parents.)Darius was very cute but he didn't enjoy Halloween too much. He had to wear a hot costume and didn't even get to eat any of his candy. His future wife, Rylie (my friend Kashia's baby girl) was a little pink pig. My picture of the two of them together didn't turn out so I'll have to get one from my sister & post it later.

My Danny Zuko impression

2007-10-23T21:36:00.001-05:00

Darius' hair has started to take on a life of its own. I never know what it's going to do. I was holding him the other day and a lock of his hair kept falling down on his forehead. Right before this I was singing him songs from Grease, I guess he just got inspired! So far, Darius loves show tunes, Sunday School songs, and girl bands of the 50's and 60's. His favorite song is "Do Lord." He is either tone deaf and thinks Mommy is a great singer or he is laughing his bootie off at my attempts at singing.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

2007-10-23T21:26:00.000-05:00

Happy Late Birthday to my wonderful husband, Greg! (Don't worry, I'm not just now wishing him a Happy Birthday in person!) Greg turned 37 on Sunday, Oct 21st. It was also the 4th anniversary of the day we met. Darius & I love you very much and we hope this year brings you as much happiness as you bring us!

Welcome Gavin Asa Pannell

2007-10-23T20:55:00.000-05:00

My newest (& 8th!) nephew, Gavin Asa Pannell, was born Sept 28th. He was born awake and alert and ready to go! He was my family's biggest baby weighing in at 8 lbs 10 1/2 oz. He and Darius had the same size feet! He is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see him and Darius play together. I hope they will be the very best of friends. I didn't have any cousins my age growing up and I'm glad that Darius will have some playmates in the family.

Are you ready for some football?

2007-10-23T20:40:00.000-05:00

I know it's been awhile since I updated. I tried to add these last two slideshows several weeks ago but photobucket wasn't working for some reason. Darius went to his first football game Sept 14th when the Bartlesville Bruins played Stillwater. We lost of course. We took him to his first college game at TU the next night and watched them beat BYU. He was awake the whole game and was content to just sit in his sling and watch the activity. The next weekend we took him to his first OSU football game and watched a very exciting game as we beat Texas Tech. The biggest highlight of the day was when Mike Gundy spoke to Darius and said he was a beautiful baby and well dressed. I got so shook up that I missed an incredible photo opp. He will go to his next college game Nov. 3rd when we take him to watch his Daddy's alma mater, South Carolina, play Arkansas. How many 3 month olds can say they have watched 3 different college football teams in 3 different stadiums? We'll get our OSU season tickets back next year when the stadium renovations are complete. I've been going through withdraws this year not being at all the home games.

Playing with Daddy

2007-09-23T21:10:00.000-05:00

Darius had his first lesson in Playstation when we took Daddy for his play date with Derek. We spent the afternoon with our friends Derek & Michelle a couple of weeks ago. The guys played PS3 all afternoon while the gals got caught up and played with Darius. Once Darius is old enough to play video games and golf with Daddy, I may never see either of them again. Hopefully I'll have a little girl to shop with me by then!

Darius' room

2007-09-08T18:11:00.000-05:00

I finally hung Darius' name above his crib the other day. I took the other 3 pictures right after we moved the furniture in his room. I painted one wall green, one blue, one with green, blue and brown polka dots, and the other I left white with his name. The only thing I have left is to hang his curtains. They are the same material as the bedding.

My baby is 2 months old! (& had to get shots!!)

2007-09-08T17:56:00.000-05:00

Darius will be 2 months old tomorrow & had his 2 month well check Friday. He now weighs 10lbs 15oz and is 22 3/4 inches long. Dr. Mickle said he is right on target for growth and development. (Personally I think he's way advanced when it comes to looks, intelligence and personality) Dr. Mickle always spends extra time talking and playing with Darius. I think he's her favorite patient. He did get his first shots too. He was such a champion, so brave! I had to take him to Walmart after that to reward him with a toy. He picked out some wrist rattles. Does the fact that I saved his bandaids and put them in his baby book show that I'm a first time mom? Next time he goes to the Dr for his 4 month well check, our adoption should be finalized!!

Darius moves to his crib...for 1 night at least

2007-09-08T17:46:00.000-05:00

On Tuesday I decided it was time to move Darius into his room and let him sleep in his crib. He did great, I on the other hand was a basketcase. I didn't get any sleep and kept waking Greg up to make sure he could hear Darius breathing on the monitor too. Well the next night I put Darius in his crib and about 10 mintues later picked him up and slept with him in the recliner all night because the cradle was even too far away at 5 inches from the bed. Needless to say Darius is back in our room in the cradle. He's going to grow up so fast anyway and I want to keep him near me as long as I can.

Trip to Branson

2007-09-01T21:00:00.000-05:00

Darius & I went to Branson Thursday to Saturday to spend time with my sister and brother and their families. Darius had his first trip to Silver Dollar City and we went to Celebration City Friday night. It was the first time for all of the Pannell cousins to be together. We had a great time but I won't be traveling that far with Darius by myself again any time soon. He cried most of the 3 1/2 hr trip both ways.

My baby is 6 weeks old!

2007-08-19T21:31:00.000-05:00

Darius will be 6 weeks old tomorrow! I can't believe how much time has already passed. I had a birth through work this past week and Darius already looked so big compared to the new baby! He had a Dr check up on friday and he now weighs 9 lbs 5 oz and is 21 3/4 inches long. He is in the 50 percentile for weight & height. He is growing up already!(sniff sniff) Here are few things he is already doing:

sleeping 5-8 hours at night (since 2 weeks!)
lifting his head
starting to focus on objects and faces
recognizing my voice
starting to coo and smile in response to other people (he has been randomly smiling in his sleep since birth)
solving quadratic equations (oh wait, that's my sister's 11 year old)
preparing for his future career as a male model

Our busy weekend

2007-08-19T20:01:00.000-05:00

We have had a very busy weekend. On Thursday Greg's parents came into town. We tried to do as much as we could while they were here so they could be a part of the festivities.

On Saturday we had Darius' and my nephew Jake's Shawnee naming ceremony. An elder from the Absentee Shawnee tribe, Troy Littleaxe, named both boys. Jake was given a rabbit name, Pea-ay'-wa See-La-Meth'e, which means "came a jumping." Kerri (his mom) and his brother Andrew also have rabbit names. Darius was given a turtle name, Pem Ho-Kwa Com-See, which means "turtle swimming by." I was of course thrilled to have Darius given a turtle name like me. My name is Nippi-Ta Pum-Ma which means "turtle floating in clear water." I had already bought him alot of turtle things not really even thinking about wanting him to be a turtle as well. I even bought him his turtle Halloween costume in St Augustine. Troy was not even aware that Kerri is a rabbit and I am a turtle. He definately has a gift for naming babies. It was so nice & touching to have the boys named together with Kerri & I sitting side by side. I feel even closer to my sister (if that's possible) than ever before because she & James and Greg & I share the amazing & loving experience of adoption.

Saturday afternoon Greg & I had our homestudy visit. It was painless and easy. Mostly us talking about ourselves and our family. It felt good knowing that we are that much closer to having the adoption final. Next we have to wait for the waiting period and we should be able to finalize in Oct or Nov.

This morning we had our parent-child dedication at church. After years of watching other parents have the opportunity to dedicate their lives to raising their children for Christ it was finally our turn! It's amazing to think that just a few months ago at our church's last dedication I almost had to leave the service because I was upset about not being pregnant yet. Now I'm a mom and have the most beautiful, sweet baby. I am so lucky and thank God every day for this gift He has given us.

Tomorrow morning Greg's parents fly home. Greg, Darius & I will miss them very much and hope we get to visit them very soon.

I will post some pictures later of this weekend's events.

Ok, I did something a little crazy (as you can probably see) I really wanted to add Darius to my "artwork" No matter what happens with the adoption he will always be my first child and I wanted a way to make that permanent. Although we have no reason to believe anything will interfere with the adoption, there's always that fear something will go wrong. So Darius baby, this is all for you no matter how stupid, crazy, or wild it may be. I love you more than I could ever imagine possible. You are my baby boy and my reason for getting up everyday (& at 2 in the morning) You will always be a part of me & when you turn 18 and you want your first tattoo, mommy will even drive you (as long as it says "Mom") I love you Darius!!

The 2 thrill seekers!

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Yesterday I went parasailing with one of the other wives, Amber. It was great!! It was nothing what I expected but such a thrill! They had 3 levels: 700 ft, 1000 ft and 1400 ft. We decided to go for it and do the 1400 ft. Plus we got a free t-shirt for doing the highest. I'll do anything for a free t-shirt. Greg & John got to ride on the boat with us. That was the closest Greg will ever get to parasailing. The last picture is Greg & I with John & Amber. The 2 in the middle were a couple from LSU.

Florida Vacation

2007-08-11T16:09:00.000-05:00

The day after Grandmother Anderson's party, Greg, Darius & I drove down to St Augustine, Fl with Greg's parents. We are vacationing with the Causby family. James Causby was Greg's dad's college roomate. James and his wife June are here with 2 of their sons and their wives and children: Corey and Crystal and their 3 yr old girl Laurel and John and Amber and their 2 yr old son Peyton. We have had a blast this past week. They are such a fun family and their kids are adorable. It's quite a crew going out to dinner all together. Darius has had plenty of women ooing and aahing over him this week plus his Nana Carol to spoil him. We are leaving to come home tomorrow. We had a great time but I know everyone back home misses us (at least Darius, Greg & I don't count for much these days.) I'll be adding some pictures over the next few days of our vacation.

It was so nice to have all of the Anderson Family together. We had a great time and hope we made Grandmother Anderson's birthday a very happy one.

We went to North Carolina last weekend to celebrate Greg's Grandmother's 85th birthday. Greg's brother & sister in-law, Ben & Angela, were able to come along with their 7 month old son, Caden. This was the first time for Greg's family to meet Darius. The last picture is me teaching Caden how to do "Go Pokes"

Go Cocks!

Greg bought this for Darius the day after we brought him home. I think he may have to grow a bit to fill it out. The clothing war between OSU & USC has begun. I'm pretty sure OSU will win considering mommy is the one who dresses him.

New Mommy & Daddy

Well, I guess I should start from 3 weeks ago. Exactly 3 weeks ago today, I got a call about a birth mom in labor in Tulsa who was considering placing the baby for adoption. I went to the hospital to talk to her (at this point, I was going for work. I'm an adoption coordinator for an adoption law office) She said she was still thinking about it. I told her about our agency and how we could help and that I would call her the next day. As I was leaving the hospital I got a call fro our OK City office to tell me that the birth mom who my husband & I were matched with was backing out. The next day I got a call from the birth mom who was in labor saying she had the baby and wanted me to come back and fill out the paperwork. Long story short, by the end of the day we had a new baby boy and brought him home from the hospital the next day. Greg & I are loving every minute of this parenting thing! He is the best baby ever! He only cries when hungry, already sleeps 6 hours at night, and is such a cuddle bug. Oh and he is absolutely the cutest baby I have ever seen!

My new blog

Since I've had a hard time trying to add pictures to my myspace blog I decided to start a new blog here. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with this one!
