Lovng Being a Busy Mom

My little angel just hit the 6 month mark and I am loving every minute being a mom. Days are busy and go by so fast. Some days I get sad knowing she is growing up so fast, but then I think that is stupid and chastise myself. I am so thankful every minute she is here and though journey was rough it was sooo worth it!

Baby's first Christmas was so fun and we felt so blessed. Everly was spoiled by everyone. But Santa I really owe you cause I got everything I wanted for Christmas : )

Everly Grace - Our Miracle

Everly Grace welcomed to the world on July 12th (07-12) and weighting 7 lbs 12 oz. We are so blessed and happy. We thought this day would never come. Infertility is a nightmare experience for everyone, so coming to this point is unbelievable. All I can say is keep hoping and trying even when you feel defeated. And I wish everyone so much love and encouragement on their tough journeys which is so different for every single person.

Overstuffed Turkey

I am in the midst of Week 38 and now I know what all those preggers were complaining about before -- I feel like an overstuffed turkey. And by no means is my belly as big as I have seen on some women, but man this is getting uncomfortable. At my last appt. the Dr. said there was no progress towards labor, so I guess this little gal likes it in there. I have somewhat lost my appetite as well and really have been losing weight rather than gaining in these last weeks.

Baby prep is going pretty well, her room is almost done. Just waiting for the dresser and chair to arrive. We still haven't purchased a crib mattress yet, but she won't be sleeping in it for awhile. We have the playpen with bassinet set up in our room. I have experienced some of those Braxton Hicks contractions, which aren`t very pleasant, but I`m sure nothing compared to the real thing.

Really hard to believe the big day is almost here! Over three years in the making.
