Four Weeks

CB chillin in her comfy pink chair!

Edee Sue and her mommy came to visit! Special friends finally got to meet and play.

This is the princess in her pink tutu!



Wow! This mommy thing is amazing, but soooooooo hard! Time flies by so quickly and I haven't had a chance to do much updating lately. Anytime CB sleeps I rush around trying to do little things like brush my teeth and scarf down food! She is amazing! We are learning so much about our precious miracle everyday. She smiles and makes the best facial expressions! She is probably going to be a daddy's girl as she already makes his heart melt daily. Here are a few photos from the past few weeks!

Two Weeks

Hidy folks! I know it's been a long time since I updated the blog but I ran into a few obstacles with my computer! We are up and running now so hopefully I will do better from now on. As you can see, CB is doing GREAT and she is a cutie patootie. It's been the best two weeks of my life...just looking at her makes my heart melt. Randy has been so busy with work lately, but that should come to an end after the Stampede is over next week. I know he misses us and wants to be home and we want him home too! I have been asked how CB is sleeping and eating and well I can say she does it all perfectly well. The child doesn't miss a meal or a nap so I guess we are off to a good start! She gets her love of formula from her father and her love of the nap from me. Ha! Ha!! Thanks for all of the kind messages! Keep them coming!

"For this child we have prayed"

Randy and I are thrilled to inform everyone that we finally have CB in our arms! She came on Tuesday, October 21 at 10:15p.m. It was the hardest day of my life that ended in overwhelming joy and excitement! Randy has been the most incredible person, husband, coach and daddy that I could ask for. CB LOVES him and so do I. We have enjoyed every minute, even the hard ones and we are looking forward to just loving her and giving her the best life we can possibly give. It's an incredible feeling that we have waited for...waited for five years to be honest. The past nine months have been hard because we have wanted her here, but she is worth the wait. Enjoy looking at the photos. I will do better at posting them when I get back to life in Rockwall! Hanging with mommy. We are having fun!

Did someone say cheeks?

Susu came to visit!Her daddy changed her very first diaper! It was the first diaper he has ever changed and would you believe he did it perfectly!

Love at first sight!

Here she is on the scale! Everyone couldn't believe it. Nine pounds Six ounces!

CB made it and it was glorious! And oh yeah...did I mention she was BIG?

Epidurals are gooooooooood!!!!!!!

Monday night before the big day!

Monday afternoon before we left for the hospital!

Last Day

It's my last day at work until January! Wow! I am going to miss my co-workers, but not work! :) I had to post one last "belly shot" taken by the computer cam on my MAC. The progression is unbelieveable!

Special Buddy

This is our precious BoBo. We love him so much and it makes me sad when I think about how much his life is about to change! He is used to peace and quiet and all the attention one dog can muster but in just a few days his world will be upside down. He has no idea that this creature called a baby is about to wreak havoc on his spoiled life. Randy took him to the Dog Park last weekend and they had a great time. I think I am going to take him back tomorrow too so that he can have one last hooray that is all about him. I know he will always be our sweet baby BoBo, but it's just going to be different. I am not willing to accept it yet, but I know things are changing!

Countdown

This could be our last weekend with life as we have known it for six and a half years. I think I am still in denial. It's just so hard to believe that in a few days we could have a baby! I went for my sonogram this morning and Judy said that CB is about 8lbs. 3 ounces and 20 inches long. Her head is really far down and she looked ready to me. I got a quick glimpse of her face, but not a good look. So, it's still a mystery! My doctor is going to Disney World tomorrow and won't be back until Monday night. Yesterday she told me that if she doesn't come on her own this weekend that we can induce on Tuesday when she returns. I hope she won't have visions of Mickey and Minnie running through her brain while I am in labor. I know that God has already picked her perfect birthday so I am fine with whenever...but I really want my doctor there. I guess it's different for them because they do this all the time and they are good about not getting attached to patients, but I am fully attached to her and want to see her face while in the most compromising position of my life! I appreciate all of you who have kept up with us while on this journey. It will be wonderful to share this dream come true in just a few more days! Stay tuned...

Couples Shower

Our friends gave us a Couples Shower a few weeks ago and it's taken me awhile to get these posted! We had so much fun! The shower was in McKinney at the Wood's house and several of our friends came to enjoy the festivities! They deocrated with a Cowgirl theme and it was so fitting for us as we are about to embark on Randy's 8th year with the Texas Stampede! Amy, Allison and Susan

Jeff played a nice joke on Randy...this is a diaper kit from Home Depot! All of the essential tools were included, such as a Doo Doo Deflecter apron, tongs, a gas mask, a pink Dallas Cowboys onesie, snacks, a head light, goggles and the list goes on! Needless to say, Randy is prepared for those number two's that are sure to come in the next few weeks!
