She's here! She was born at 1:16am on February 24th. She weighed 8lbs 5oz and was almost 21 inches long. She has a ton of hair and seriously she is so cute ... and I am not just saying that because she's my baby ... she really is PERFECT. I am so happy to be her mother and Jake is such a good daddy to her. She loves when he holds her and talks to her. I had to have a C-section so that kind of was a bummer after being in labor for 14+ hours ... but we are just glad she's here and healthy. I am sore and swollen right now - but in due time I'll get back to normal ... at least that is what they are telling me :) Here are some pictures of her from Day 1 ... I'll get some more uploaded soon. I am off to SLEEP before the next feeding.

BABY SHOWER - JAN 24th

Sunday, February 08, 2009

My mother-in-law Michele and my sister-in-laws Becky and Hayley threw me a fabulous baby shower on Saturday January 24th up in Logan. I have had 2 other baby showers also - my work and my ward threw one for me too. Let's just say this baby girl is already SPOILED ROTTEN. My friend Courtney flew in from Ft. Collins and my sister came from Vernal and my friend Amy came up from Spanish Fork. We all drove up together to Logan that afternoon for the party.

They had the place decorated so cute and had some yummy lunch and desserts.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE that was able to make this a special occasion for me. I feel so blessed to have such a great family and such wonderful friends.

Here are some photos from the baby shower:

Baby Room

BABY ROOM ... getting closer, but still so much to do ...

Here are some pictures of the baby room. It's slowly coming together, but I still have to add some more decor to the walls and move the rocker recliner chair in the room (jake won't give it up quite yet ... enjoying it in the living room too much while playing Xbox).

THE CRIB

(will probably add her name above it later on)

I am 38 weeks this next week and am hoping to go anytime, but knowing me I'll be late just because I don't want to be pregnant anymore. I have a DR appt on Wednesday so hopefully there will be some progress :) Hope everyone is doing great!

Enjoy your week and Happy Valentine's Day on Saturday!!!
