Babyness...

Oh my life...is full of a beautiful baby. It is amazing how something so small can make your heart just feels so full and happy. No lie. No matter how tired or sore I am feeling she always makes me smile!

Mr. G and I are adjusting to this little one and every little thing she does makes us smile and laugh ( well expect when she cries!)

Here is a video of my Ms. P she is only 3 weeks as of now and she has changed SO much! She is already growing out of her little outfits and she is about done with her newborn diapers! I believe she recognizes mine and Mr. G's faces and has this look of happiness when she sees either one of us!

She is such a good girl and loves her sleep!

Here is video of her right before she takes her midday nap!

Enjoy!

P.S. I haven't forgotten my labor story! It is still coming and its about half way done! Woot!

posts coming ...

I am here and doing well! Now that I feel that I have finally rejoined the land of the living I will continue to blog again!!!

My next post will be my birth story... I am finally ready to relive that scary day!

My heart bursts with joy and a love I have never knew existed. I love being a mommy!!!!

Till my next post here is my baby girl exploring her little jungle world...

Home from the hospital!!!

I am home! Whoo hoo!

After spending almost 5 days in the hospital I got to bring home the greatest gift ever!! My beautiful baby girl, Ms. P!

I plan on writing my delivery story as soon as I am more used to this new routine and my body is a little more healed!

Until then I will leave with you with a video of our car ride home:

*Note: Scariest car ride of my life. I have never ever been sooooo worried.

Pregnancy Update!

Ladies and gentleman I have an announcement!

Tomorrow January 7, 2011 at 3 pm eastern time I will be induced into labor at 40 weeks and 2 days!!

Depending on how I feel I will update my blog as the time progresses!!!

Now we need a new poll...Will she be born the 7th, 8th or 9th?!!?! Any takers?!

Weekly Update: 40 Weeks

WEEK: 40

MONTH: 10

TRIMESTER: 3

GENDER: Girl!

THIS WEEK THE BABY IS: OK, baby girl its time to come and meet mommy and daddy!!! You have offically been handed a eviction notice!!! It's hard to say for sure how big you will be, but the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds and is about 20 inches long. Your skull bones are not yet fused, which allows them to overlap a bit if it's a snug fit through the birth canal during labor. This so-called "molding" is the reason your noggin may look a little conehead-ish after birth. Rest assured little— it's normal and temporary.

SYMPTOMS: Lol, seriously? Lets see I am achy,tired, sore, can't sleep, I feel like my stomach my pop open at any moment.... oh and I can barely eat!

CURRENT MOOD: So anxious and frustrated! But extremely happy she is fully full term and healthy! I am ready now baby girl!

CURRENT CRAVING: WATER!

DOCTOR UPDATE: No change! Still no Braxton hicks or contractions. I go back to the doctors tomorrow to do some fetal monitoring and stress tests on the baby. Depending on how that goes we will talk about induction this weekend. Lets hope this little girl comes on her own before then!!!!

Anniversary NYE!!! Part 1

New Years Eve was Mr. G's and I, ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! *fist pump*

This is a major milestone for all newlyweds, because it is first year of so many adjustments and changes. I have to say that we made it through the year with a solid A+. Seriously people I don't lie.

In our first year we:

• Got married

• Moved into our first place together

• Successfully survived our first big purchase ( his ginormous tv)

• Found out we were pregnant

• Mr. G got his first D1 football coaching job

• Mr. G's new job having us move across the country (California to North Carolina) *I was 3 months pregnant

• 3 months pregnant sleeping on an air mattress together for 2 weeks! All because our moving truck was late
  

• 4 flat tires

• A car accident 29 weeks pregnant *Mr. G was driving (it wasn't his fault)

• Mr. G's football staff getting fired.

• Me being 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant.

We did all this in one calendar year and honestly we did it (not to brag) so effortlessly that the only thing I can conclude from this year is that we are so meant for each other!! Also if we can survive a year like this together we can handle anything!!! Now we get to start 2011 with a new family addition (whenever she decides to pop out her precious little head) *pun intended. And I have never been more excited to see where this year takes us!

Here are some eye stimulation for those who enjoy it :) Before and After our one year!

December 31, 2010:



Because of our job uncertainty we decided to forgo anniversary gifts and keep it sweet and simple ( a night of dinner and a movie) We both promised each other when the time is right we will celebrate big and lavishly for the years we need to remain modest. BUT Mr. G had a different plan and decided to buy me a gift that I had my eye on.


Yup that is right, it is a diaper bag. A lot has changed in a year hasn't it?

If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would be happy to get a diaper bag as a gift for my one year anniversary, I would tell you I think you lost your mind. But in all honesty, I couldn't be happier!!


Anyways, Happy Anniversary and CHEERS to many many more!!!
