we’re back

i am SO happy that wordpress is working again! i can’t wait to start sharing things! obviously, the dates on my last two posts are wrong, but they were drafts that i had saved and never published. ANYWAY ~ i’d like to get everyone up to date on what’s been happening in our family for the past 6 months or so!!! bailey was born june 21st at 2:03 a.m. at methodist medical center…she weighed a whopping 8 pounds 7 ounces and i seriously thought i saw jesus while giving birth to her! it was a rather tramatic experience, but she is finally here and just turned 5 months old last week and she is my pride and joy! being a mother is even more rewarding than i had initially thought it would be. i can’t even put it into words how happy she makes me! sure ~ she is a lot of work and those first 2 months, i literally cried day in and day out because it was so hard and such an adjustment…no one really tells you just HOW much of a life change it really is! things are finally starting to get easier or i am just now surrendering. ha! i will have to post some of the adorable pictures from the past FIVE months when i can find the time…but here is one from the morning she was born…look how swollen her little face is…poor baby!

gifts galore

my baby shower was a couple of weekends ago…april 10th…sorry i am just now getting around to posting pictures! amy and heather did an amazing job putting it together! it was absolutely beautiful and everyone was so gracious…bailey definitely got spoiled!

the cake was TO DIE FOR! another amazing creation from Glorious Desserts…almond and strawberry swirl…and how cute is the chick on top? (she is supposed to be ME! ha.)

i feel so grateful to have such great friends and family. i know they will be such a blessing to bailey’s life!

it took my mom and i a good 10 hours to organize and put away all her awesome goodies. i am pleased to say, the spare bedroom is beginning to look like a nursery and i think we have pretty much everything we need! all that’s left is getting my hospital bagged packed and bailey’s clothes washed and i think we are good to go!

31 weeks

…I’M HUGE! enough said. just joking…i actually have a lot more to say…like how freaking miserable i have become! i’m so thankful God let me have an easy first and second trimester because this third one is about killing me! i don’t even remember what it feels like to get a good night’s sleep anymore…or heck…even a little sleep without waking up with horrible heart burn, nose bleeds and the non-stop urge to pee! it’s getting ridiculous! also, my thighs have turned into tree trunks and my stomach looks like i swallowed a basketball…o yea…and that whole “feeling sexy” thing hasn’t happened for a good 6 months either so you can probably imagine how lucky jason is feeling right about now! ha. i know she will be worth all of this agony, but i am just over it and want her to be here already!!! 9 more weeks…say a prayer for me!
