Sneak Peek

The birth story will be posted next week, time is flying by and I really need to get on it before I forget everything!

{And thank you Lord for those hormones that allow you to forget everything! Whew!}

Mr. B went back to work on Wednesday and we are all adjusting very well. 

She is such a good easy-going baby which has been wonderful!

I'll post more stats on her 2 week post- I can't believe how much she changes every day!

{{P.S this is how I am blogging right now :D }}

We had her pictures taken on Sunday and our amazing photographer keeps putting up some sneak peeks and my hearts melts a little more each time. 

I have seriously been obsessed with pictures like these since I was a little girl and it is still so surreal to me that this is MY baby in these pictures! An absolute dream come true. 

I keep joking that it's like the 25 days of Christmas getting a new picture every day. It's so much fun!

I have too many favorites and there are still many more to come- I don't know how I will choose which ones to frame!

There are a couple others that she's posted that are super cute, but I am saving those for later! 

If the suspense is killing you, you can check her out on facebook- Lisa Louise Photography. 

We are so so pleased!!

Happy Weekend!

One Week

In an hour and a half my precious babe will be one week old! 

How is that possible??

She has brought us so much joy and we are still in awe every day that she is ours. 

Here are a few new pictures!

Mr. B goes back to work on Wednesday and I'll post all the details of her special day. 

We love you more than words can express, baby girl! 

Feels So Good

to finally kiss those cheeks.

Our Little Turkey has Arrived!!

Adalyn Faith was born on Monday night!

She was 7lbs 9 oz and 21" long. 

She is so precious and we are soooo in love.

We arrived home around noon and are adjusting well!

There will be many more photos and details to come!

Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement through out our journey!

We are beyond blessed and extremely thankful for our little miracle. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Daily Agenda

It didn't work yesterday {although I did have consistent contractions for a few hours, they were just a little too far apart}, here's to hoping it works today!!

Please, Jesus. 

Waiting Game Continues....

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I had a wonderful day! :) 

Today was my 39 Week check up, the one that I was so anxious for, that I lost sleep over because this appointment would determine if she was breech, transverse or head down. 

If I would have her tomorrow or at Target. 

It was also my first pelvic exam {I thought I was going to have one last week and I didn't} so I was extra nervous.

So glad it's over with! For now... I know the worst is yet to come. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought, but I was pretty animated. And for as nervous and tight as I was she managed to make her way up there and feel around, so that's a good thing I guess....

Anyways the results are in and Adalyn is....

Head down.

I know this is suppose to be good news. 

And it is, I was just hoping she would be here tomorrow. 

I'm really ready. 

And tired of throwing up.

And the heartburn.

But if she was head down I at least wanted there to be some progress and thankfully there was!

So I am 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. 

Still not convinced this really means anything, but at least it's something!

So now I try everything in "my power" to get her here before Thanksgiving!

I'm about to go out and buy a birthing ball and walk til the sun don't shine no mo'.

Any other ways work for you? 

Did you go from 1 cm to labor quickly? 

Do you think it means anything?? 

I forgot to ask my Dr. about the membrane sweep...did that work for anyone??

Birthday Gift

24 years ago today my mom gave birth to me

And today I anxiously await the arrival of my little girl. 

So desperate for her to come that I am even willing to share my birthday with her.

But so far it seems like she is more interested in having her own special day.

Which I can respect.

Either way, I will be experiencing one of the greatest gifts I could ever receive or ask for

and I can not wait.

Seriously, I can't.

This is way too suspenseful. 

I don't know how people do it! 

And this birthday is extra special because it gives me a greater appreciation for my own mom and everything that she went through. 

It really should be a joint celebration. 

Although, I'm not gonna lie- It is nice to have your own special day :)
