So I'm just not a blogger!

Please refer to my facebook page for photos or getting in touch with me! This blog won't be posted on anymore since I obviously am not very good at keeping up with it. Thank goodness that I am good about documenting our little girl's life in her baby book. But here's one more cute pic of our precious baby girl, who is five months old today!

Sleeping in Aunt Aimee's arms

Alice is 7 weeks and 5 days

Wow, the changes in just two weeks! She wakes up in the morning cooing and "talking" to herself already! That is, after her 4am bottle. I'm talking around 7:30am when we get up and start the day. I walk in and she beams a smile at me...priceless! Not that that schedule will be the same for long! As I'm told, don't expect to stick to a scheduled nighttime routine this early. I am proud of her though: she'll generally sleep from about 9pm to 4pm or so.

Right now, I'm typing with her sound asleep on my chest in her Baby Bjorn. I know, I can't believe I bought one of these things. But to anyone wondering about which carrier to get, there are some things that are worth the extra expense, and this is one of them. The Chicco one gave her a rash on her cheek, the material wasn't soft and it was hard to get her in and out.

I must admit, we do have quite a cute baby. I guess all new moms say that. Her face has really changed in the past few weeks. She is a very, very active, wriggly, alert little girl. She loves her bouncy chair that Mimi got for her. She squeals with delight at the lights and music on the chair. She loves daddy's arms, too...must be something about his deep voice and big biceps! :-) They like to lounge on the couch together.

Thank you God for my precious gift! Every day I look at her and am grateful for every toe, finger, and smile.

Alice is 5 weeks and 5 days!

She is a beautiful, fun little girl who just started smiling back at us! Okay, not all the time, but once in a while she will! It's not gas, I swear! It's been a humbling, sometimes scary, wonderful, happy adventure so far. We feel so blessed. The outpouring of love and support from family and friends has really left me speechless! So many people already love you so much, little Alice!

Nursery and Belly! 39 weeks and 6 days....

38 weeks

Well, here we are, nearing the end. Today, I am 38 weeks and 3 days and ready to pop. I just went to the doctor and I have not really changed since last week....A little effaced but not dilated. I feel very tight, like I can't stretch my skin ANY more. Her head is down, though, which is good! Come one, Alice, we are ready for you!!!!

I know I haven't posted nursery pics, I need to figure out our new camera first. But trust me, it's CUTE as a button! Not too much pink, just the right amount. The walls are light green, the crib and changing table are white, and there's lots of pops of color from curtians, bedskirts, wall art, blankies, etc.

32 weeks!

I'm 33 weeks today, but here's a pic of me at 32 weeks. Knock on wood, I feel so great and everything seems to be going well. I've been fighting a cold over the weekend that I hope makes it's grand EXIT soon. Nursery is almost done! I am LOVING IT. I'll take a pic of it and post it soon when it's totally done. I had my first baby shower this past weeekend in Greensboro with 9 of my girlfriends and this weekend I have one with my high school girlfriends and some family. I feel so lucky and blessed. Of course I had a ball going through everything afterwards and beginning to organize it. :-)

Baby Bump!

This is a photo my friend took at work. I'm 25 weeks in this photo which everyone says look deceiving...maybe it's the tight shirt. I do look quite large, no? I'm 29 weeks now and apparently measuring perfectly. The doc said I'm having a pretty "boring " pregnancy, which is good! Keep it up, Alice! Her kicks are pretty darn strong now and Shawn can actually see them when I lie on the couch. It's so cool.
