5 Months

Wow...Taylor is almost 5 months old. She is eating cereal now everyday and loves it. She opens her mouth when she sees the spoon...if only i could keep her hands out of the cereal. She creates such a mess but it is adorable. She is rolling all over the place and trying to crawl. I never know where she will be in her crib in the morning because she moves so much. Everyday I swear I love her even more and I didn't think that was possible. Her personality is starting to show and she is a very determined little girl. I will post more pictures soon.

3 months

I can't believe Taylor is almost 3 months old. She is growing so fast and has become so much fun...I just wish it would slow down a little. She smiles and coos and even sits up in her own little chair. I swear she is trying to walk already. I am so fortunate to only be working 33 hours right now so 3 days a week I get to spend a little extra time with her and I love it. She is definitely already becoming daddy's little girl. She just loves him everytime he comes in the room and she has him wrapped around her finger. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful healthy little girl and I am thankful everyday for getting to be a mom.

Sorry it took me so long to post.  Obviously Taylor has arrived and is keeping me very busy.  She has been such a great baby and we love her more than we could describe.  Of course we think she is the cutest thing on earth.

37 Weeks

I am hanging in there and getting extremely anxious for baby Taylor to arrive. The doctor has agreed to induce on March 23rd if she has not arrived which I am so thankful for. We went to Pulaski this weekend and had so much fun cooking out and sitting on the sun porch. It was a beautiful day. Cookie is all set with what she needs for Taylor to come stay. Thats really about all I have right now...we are just patiently awaiting her arrival.

34 week update

I went for my 34 week appointment this morning. I was relieved that all tests came back normal this time since the last time was not so good. They think I passed some small kidney stones a few weeks ago which caused some bleeding and pain and was scary but hopefully that is over. They do think have some gall stones in my gall bladder but we are controlling the pain with a no fat diet. I go back in two weeks and then I am on weekly visits until I deliver. I have a temp starting at work on March 2 which will give me a few weeks to get her trained and then I will be free to leave and have the baby. It is getting close and I am so excited!

BABY SHOWERS

Spring Hill - My spring hill girls had my shower at Mindees and we had a blast. I was so excited that my sister and law and neice could make it as well as my best friend from high school and her mom and little girl. The decorations were adorable and they matched the nursery colors with everything. Of course, they know me so well so they opted not to do games and we all decorated burps, onesies and socks by hand. They all turned out so cute. I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends.

Pulaski - My Pulaski shower was at Pamela Sues and again...it was so much fun. I couldn't believe 36 people turned out and came such distances to see me and bring us gifts. I get a little emotional because I just feel so blessed to have such great people in my life. We played 2 games. One everyone guessed how much change was in the piggy bank and the winner would take all. It turns out Taylor got the bank and the winner got some "all" detergent. The other was a drawing and to enter everyone put there name and addresses on an envelope. This will be so helpful when doing my thank you's. The hostesses got Clay and I the car seat, stroller, base system which we definitely needed to bring little Taylor home and believe it or not the color scheme is actually called Taylor.

Mom and I spent yesterday organizing and washing everything and getting it ready. I feel so prepared and can't believe all the cute things I got. Clay was afraid when he saw everything that our house wasn't big enough but he we showed him with a little organization...it is all possible. Now I am just anxious for her to get here...not too much longer.

28 Weeks

I went for my 28 week checkup today and everything was normal. Taylor is head down as she should be which I was happy about because she previously been breach. These appts. are pretty boring so not a lot of news. I have gained 12 lbs to date and they still expect me to gain 10 more. Now we just wait for our little girl to arrive. I can't wait!! I have a shower this weekend and next weekend so I will post some pics soon.
