Amateur Photographer

Well today I decided to try and take some pictures of Noel! It was so much fun, its so not professional its funny, but looking at the end result just shows me what I can do better. Like maybe ironing the backdrop and some other things. My little trusty camera did ok, i've had it since high school and its been with me everywhere. Maybe next christmas I will ask for a nicer one, depends on if my pictures show any promise. Anyway I am so excited for Christmas!! It's like I am a little kid again. This year is just so different.

TOUCHDOWN!!

She's finally here, I never thought this day would come! I checked into the hospital October 27 at 6 p.m. to get cervidil which is supposed to get your body ready for the pitocin the next morning. Well the cervidil actually put me into active labor!! It was crazy, I was at a four when they said I could have the epidural, I was so nervous. As they were getting the epidural ready my water broke, and it kept breaking as he was doing the epidural. The epidural was great it didn't hurt at all to put in, and eased the horrible horrible contractions I was having. The next morning at 8:30 was when I started to push, it was excruciating, I guess I was supposed to sit up after I got my epidural to get the medicine to go down, and I didn't. This was when I literally never thought she was going to come, they said the head was right there for hours, finally he gave me an episiotomy and she graced us with her presence at 10:17. I was exhausted from the labor so I was a little foggy from this point on. She was 6'11", 20 inches long, and beautiful.

My mom and sister were there the whole time and made the wonderful experience even more wonderful.

Busy Bee!

It has been such a busy day, my mom and I got so much done!! I saw these extremely cute diaper wipe cases online and I wanted one soo soo bad, but they were so expensive! They looked fairly easy to make so I gave it a go, its not amazing but I love it, I'm definitely going to make more. About half way through I got the hang of how to do it really well so, the first one will just not be AS cute!

And guess what else I got done!! The rooms!!!!Wow, I never thought I would be done with these rooms! The baby shower helped so much for the babies room, then we had to tackle my room full force. Im so blessed to have a wonderful sister and mother who basically did it all for me! I finally got a new queen size bed thank goodness, that twin was killing me! It was also exciting because I finally got to put my new comforter that I got from IKEA like forever ago on it and I love it, I still need some little curtains but that will be easy.

Baby Shower

So its only been one year since my last blog, but everyone is so crazy about them i figured I had to get in with all the action. Well I finally had my baby shower, it was quite a turnout! We decided to ditch the traditional baby shower theme and go with something a little crazy, Extreme Nursery Makeover!! I knew there was so much work to be done with the babies room and my room so my mom threw out the idea!! Everyone seemed to love the idea surprisingly!! We got a lot done in just a little time and had a lot of fun chatting and eating. The room with all the pink is the before shot of my room.
