4 weeks tomorrow

Well where does the time go!!! It seems like yesterday, I had the day off and was 38 and 1/2 weeks pregnant and hoping to stay that way until my doctor got back to town! Little did I know, that I would be going into labor that very night. We are now just about 4 weeks into our sweet baby girls life and everyday is a learning experience and a challenge. An amazing challenge, I must add!!

C, you are starting to smile and definitely recognize your mommy and daddy. You have the best grandparents and family a girl could ask for too!

So here is a little recap as to week 3, well C, you were gagging occasionally on your bottles, so mommy decided to try a new bottle. HOLY MOLY what a bad idea!!!. You got so mad and then had trouble going back to your old bottle. Mommy was very stressed for about an hour, until she found a way to get you go suck on your bottle. Won't do that again. But today, you are drinking from your old bottles without trouble and haven't gagged once!!! We are so proud of you and you are growing like a weed, its so exciting and so sad all at the same time. Well happy one month birthday sweet girl!!! We love you and your beautiful smile, you make everyday special even when you don't want to let mommy take a short nap, because you don't want to nap!!!

Art and Craft time



So after looking at the price of the adorable bows and flower headbands for C, I decided I would try my hand at making them. I talked to a friend who does them and had her make me one and then I started the first step: I went shopping and got myself a hot glue gun and a few flowers. Then while C was napping today I tried my hand at this project. NOW, today I am only able to show off the flowers, because Michael's did not have the head bands for me to use and I need to go to Sally's beauty supply for the hair clips to clip on the the head bands. So here is are my first two flowers.This one may go with her Halloween Costume, but I'm not sure yet.

After I finish these, I will put up the finished product and show my next project. C's Halloween Costume!!! Maybe I can be some what crafty, time will tell!!

trying this again

So I think I am going to try my hand at blogging again!! A and I were blessed with our little munckin on 9/22/10. Corryn was 8 days early, she weighed in at a whooping 6 lbs 8.8 oz and was 19 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful. We did have a slightly rough start, but after figuring out the issue we got on our feet and are continuing to learn about her as she learns about us. I never thought I could love someone like I love miss Corryn. I can only hope to be the best mom I can be and live up to her little expectations. I have the best role models to learn from, A and I's parents have been amazing and so very supportive. I truly don't know how we would have made it this far without them.
