Our sweet girl!

Anabelle is growing more every day, and getting cuter by the minute. I think her cheeks are losing some of the cute chub she was born with, but maybe it's just me. These are a few of the more recent pictures. Sorry I don't have any of her with Mike. I'll get some posted soon. Anabelle is such a blessing in our lives, and we are so happy to have her here with us.

All bundled up, ready to go on our first walk outside.She does the cutest things with her hands. I just love it!This last picture may just be my new favorite of her. It's just so sweet. I took it last night.

More of Anabelle & Visit from Grandma H

We've been taking quite a few pictures of Anabelle lately, but Grandma's been taking the most. It's been so great to have her here to help. We had a great time, but Grandma did have to leave yesterday. Here's some pics of her visit with us.Baby shower

So Cute!

We love having this little angel in our lives. Adjusting to a new baby can be pretty difficult at time, but every second is well worth it. We love our little Anabelle!

More Pictures of Anabelle

For everyone that keeps asking for more, here ya go. Both Anabelle and Sarah are doing well. We had a check up for Anabelle today, and she is almost up to her birth weight again.

Anabelle's 0th Birthday

Anabelle was born February 4th, 9:18 PM CST. She weighs in at a healthy 7 lbs 5 oz, and measures 19 1/2 in. She is an absolutely healthy and beautiful baby. She put up quite a fight to stay in Sarah though, with the final labor lasting 14 hours, ending in a C-section. We are extatic to have her here, not to mention exhausted. Anyway, you didn't check out our blog to here me go on for ever, so here's what you really want- PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting ready for our new arrival

So we don't have a bassinet or anything other than our crib, and I wanted to be able to have her sleep in our room. So what did I do...I made one. Guess what I used?? . . . a laundry basket! Aren't I creative? I'm quite impressed with myself, if I may say so.


Here is the last of what we're going to post for my belly pictures. My doctor is going to induce me Wednesday morning, so we will have our sweet baby girl here with us just days! :)

last week...
This week... (and I think I look smaller this week. She must be dropping)
I guess I never will look like I am 9 months pregnant. Oh well. I am really uncomfortable, though, and can hardly wait until she's here. Only a few more days!!!

Nursery

Ok, the nursery is finally finished and ready for our baby girl's arrival! Here are some before and after pictures.

Before...

and after...

This is the styrofoam wall decorations I made for her room. It was fun making it, although working with styrofoam can be a huge pain. I like how it turned out.

I have had so much fun painting, shopping for, and decorating her bedroom. I love doing things like this, and I feel so accomplished after having finished. I found some amazing deals on her stuff, too. And who'd have ever thought I would use so much pink!! Honestly, avoiding it is nearly impossible when buying for a girl. Pink actually is not so appalling to me anymore. Hooray! Now all we have to wait for is her... :)
