Where have the past 6 months gone??

So I am way behind on blogging but I have finally decided to start again. I have lots of catching up to do though! I'll start with the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Adalyn Grace, who was born on May 26, 2009 at 9:29pm. She was 7lbs 12oz. and 19.5 inches long! And 2 weeks early! She has changed our lives forever and we are so thankful that God has blessed us with her! I love being a Mommy! And Skip is such a great Daddy! She has him wrapped around her fingers already! Here are some pictures from the most amazing day of our lives!

 Our last "just the two of us" kiss.. we were SO ready to meet our little girl!

 

 Waiting on Sweet Adalyn Grace! I was so blessed to have so many loving friends and family with me. Maci was so excited to meet her baby cousin!
 

 

 SHE'S HERE!!! I will always remember this precious moment!! God is so amazing! I cannot believe he made such a beautiful little girl and blessed us with her!!

Beautiful!








These are her hospital pictures!

Adalyn was 6 months old on Thanksgiving which was such a wonderful day with family and friends.

I will continue to catch you all up on Adalyn's 1st 6 months but I will leave you with a picture of her 1st Thanksgiving!

growing belly....

We're almost 29 wks and I'm definitely starting to feel that I'm in my third trimester. And I'm noticing little adjustments I'm having to make to accommodate for my growing belly... I can't just get out of bed, I have to roll over and scoot to the side and then get out =) I have to prop my feet up on a chair to tie my shoes rather than just bending over! I found out last Tuesday that I have gestational diabetes which = no fun :( I've had to make major diet modifications and I'm trying to get exercise in daily but thats definitely been the hardest part so far. I'm having to check my blood sugar 4 times a day which hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be but definitely not something I would wish on anyone. I go back to the dr tuesday so we'll see if he thinks my diet is doing enough to control my sugar.. hopefully I won't have to be put on any insulin (My Aunt does everytime she's pregnant). I hope you all enjoy the new pictures! And the really cute shirt is Aimee's! She has let me borrow her maternity clothes which I cannot thank her enough for!

my fun day keeping maci

As you can see, Me and Maci had a blast! Skip and I are so very proud of our little niece! She's growing so fast though! Me and Maci had a little cooing contest, which is what she's doing in the 1st picture- I'm sure you can guess who won! She looks just like Lia in the 3rd one- so pretty!

Spring Break is here and is going by so fast but with the extra time I've decided to start blogging. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it!

I'm posting some older pics first and newer ones will come soon! I'm 5 wks behind on the pregnancy pictures but I promise I'll have new ones up soon!

22wks and growing!
