Four Weeks-Life at Warp Speed

Sophia is 4 weeks old now, wow how fast it came! She is now a whoppin 9lbs 1oz! I can't believe how fast babies grow. She is trying to coo a little and makes the cutest noises. I can't wait until she begins babbling! We are having fun going for walks, taking baths, and playing! I am soo excited for Halloween. Sophia is going to be the cutest spider around.

Growing Girl

Sophia is growing like a weed. On Friday she was up to 7lbs 3 oz and almost 21 inches long. Sophia and I are starting to get into a groove, how long it will last I do not know!!!! We have had some rough days where her schedule was out of whack, but with continued effort and consistency I know she will continue to be a happy and healthy baby. I've finally been able to do the regular everyday things again like shower, make-up, make dinner, laundry, read! It has been so much fun watching her grow and change every day. She is having fun with bath time, and I swear she grins at me! (don't dash my hopes and tell me its gas!!!!!!!!!!!!) Are adventures have included a poo fest at the Dr, where she proceeded to squirt out poo all over mom and dad as we were changing her diaper. It was not until later that I discovered it (yellow poo) all over my jeans! Oh the joys of motherhood, I couldn't help but laugh until I peed my pants!

Note about one of the pics:
Dad and Sophia have the same sleeping habits, who would've known!!!!

Sophia Grace

She's finally here! Sophia was born on Friday morning August 15th at 8:13 am!!!! My waterbroke Thursday night at 6:30 and then 14 hrs later she was here! She was 6lbs 13 oz and 19 in long. After a low blood sugar scare for the first 24 hrs she was doing great! We had a little trouble with feeding but now the little snorter is moving and grooving! Friday will be her 2 week check up. Time does fly and each day is a new adventure. Can't wait to post more about what she is doing. She is such a strong baby already. She can roll over onto her side and lift her head up for brief periods of time. Can't wait to see what is in store as she grows!

33 weeks: Someone get this baby out of me!!!

Well, all along I have been saying how pregnancy has been so great and so much fun. I have finally hit the point where fun is gone and in its place is heartburn, huge ginormous swollen body parts, rapid water weight gain, and difficulty sitting, standing, rolling, eating,......! I have about six and 1/2 weeks left minus or plus a few: since babies usually don't come when they are supposed to. Even though I may not look it (some may beg to differ) I feel like I weigh a bazillion pounds.

On another note I am very excited about a shower some of my friends are throwing me tonight, and the shower my MiMi and other friends are throwing this weekend. The babies room is close to being done, and after the showers I can't wait to put the finishing touches on everything! I can't wait to pack for the hospital and know I have everything I need! I know this is just a fantasy, but a girl can wish.

3D sono

Hello everyone!

It has been a while since I blogged, but I promise to do better! Summer has been fun so far. I have been spending the first few weeks organizing all my school stuff and putting it in the attic. I have also been cleaning out closets like crazy and organizing my house! Other than that I have had a blast decorating the nursery, reading, and hanging out at the pool!

Summer News:

Nicole is having a baby girl too and my cousin Rory just gave birth to her little girl, Sarah, on Tuesday June 17th! She is beautiful. When I was holding her I could feel the burning desire to meet my baby girl. I can't wait...I hope the next 10 weeks doesn't seem like an eternity. Another friend of mine is having a girl too....it is girl mania! Too much estrogen up in here!

3D Sono:

Jerad and I saw our little girl today via 3D sono! She was being such a turkey, we only got one good shot of her face. She was using the placenta as her pillow and the ambilical cord as her blanket. When I tried to get her to move she gave us the cold sholder and turned the back of her head towards us. What a little toot! We did get to see that she already has a little hair! I think she is cute as button. Who does she look like......hmmm.......I don't know! We are just glad to see she is still a girl and has all of her parts!
