Love At First Sight

The waiting is over!

Addison Ashleigh was born March 13th 2011 at 3:02pm. She was 8lbs 8oz and 20 1/2in long.

When they placed her on me I knew I would do anything for this little girl! She is beautiful, strong, and amazing! I didn't know I could love someone this much!!!

Our Amazing Family!

Look Thru My Lenz - Flowers

Here are a few of my flower favorites!

It's March 10th and still no baby! I was due on March 5th. 5 days over and who knows how much longer. It sure is hard but I have an ultrasound on Monday. Hope we can meet our little girl soon!

My mom made her bedding set and I just adore it!

It took a while but it all came together nicely! My mom and I made a mobile to go with as well.

I'm Ready

Oh the joys of Pregnancy! It's been a challenging road for me. I have had every symptom I swear. I am 33 weeks today. I only have 49 days to go... give or take. Then the real fun begins. I have a strong feeling I wont make it till March 5th. Addi has already dropped. I'm ready to hold her in my arms!

They say nesting starts closer to the due date but I can't stop! Cleaning and organizing is all I want to do. That's what I'm headed to do when I'm done with this post. Hehe!

I still have to say the best part is Addi moving. Even when it hurts. It's so amazing!!! She is moving all the time. I knew I would feel her but I didn't really know how much. She moves more then she is still. Hmm is that a sign she will be hyper and not sleep? It's going to be strange when she isn't in my belly anymore.

Dreams have been a huge part of my pregnancy. I have has some of the strangest dreams ever! Also some really scary ones (I blame it on watching too much Criminal Minds). I dreamt last night that I forgot to bring her with me and forgot to have someone watch her or leave her with breast milk and I was hours away and couldn't get to her. Ahh. I know I would never do that but it's horrible to think about. I'm sure it's just my fear of being a good mother and making sure she has everything she needs. I love her so much already and haven't even met her. I can't wait to see her beautiful face. Every day closer to my due date I long for her more. Patience, I know!

I still look in the mirror at my belly and am amazed by it all. That we can carry and grow a baby in there. A little piece of me and my husband.

December Photo Project Days 1-5

Day 1- Welcome December

What a beautiful site! Nothing says December like the frost covered ground of a tree farm.

Day 2- Perfect Tree

My father-in-law looking for the perfect Christmas Tree.

Day 3- Waiting

While waiting for my husband and his friend to grab food I saw this tree. It looked so lonely yet strong and proud. Maybe that's a silly thing to see in a tree but I liked it.

Day 4- Lazy Days

Leo being lazy as normal. What a Life. I truly envied him this day. I just wanted to snuggle up with him and go back to bed.


Day 5- A Colorful Winter

Winter is so beautiful, even with it's lack of color. I just love to find the true colors of winter.

Time Flies

Time just seems to keep flying by. Only three more months till Addison is here is my arms. I can't wait to hold her and kiss her. Plus I look forward to some relief. :) Thing have been pretty busy. I had a wonderful shower. My sisters did a great job! My sister made all the wonderful food!

It was great to have family and friends there for such a special day. The games were great and everyone was so gracious!

The holidays are here! I love the holidays and we just had our first snow! Shane and I got our tree up and it's looks beautiful.
