Professional Pics

Today Miss Megan had her time in the spot light. It was interesting but we got some great shots. She got hungry right when we got there so we were feeding her and calming her down in between shots. It was so hard picking which ones to get and how many. Here are a few that were taken. Thank goodness they gave us a cd :)

6 Weeks

Little Megan is a month and a half today which makes me happy and sad! Happy because she is growing! She is already smiling on her own really big cute smiles as of yesterday and today. She makes the cutest cooing noises too! I'm happy because soon she will be crawling! Sad because she is growing too fast! Sad because in 2 1/2 weeks I have to leave her and go to work for 8 weeks until the summer. I don't know how I am going to be able to do that :( Though its done everyday by mothers and fathers.

Yesterday I went to the doctor and got the all clear for everything. YAY I can start exercising again! Thank goodness because I feel huge! The doctor said I have recovered real well and my scar looks great.

I am so ready for the Spring weather to get through its yucky state! Its cold then hot then cold then hot and sometime both in the same day. And the rain. I am glad for it and hate it! Glad because we are getting water to the plants and grass! Rainy days are great sleep days except when you have a newborn hahaha! Hate it because we can't go outside and rain is kind of depressing!

Lately :)

Well we have had a lot going on around here and well continue this trend for about a month. Megan made her first church apperance yesterday at my family's church in Lone Star. I was so worried that she was going to wake up screaming in the middle of church but she didnt and was a perfect angel! She slept pretty much the entire time only stiring about a few times. Which I will say thank goodness! The reason for this is I made my first traveling mistake! We had extra clothes, a lot of diapers, burp clothes, and everything for her bottles. The one thing mom forgets! The bottle!!! Thats right we were 1 1/2 hours from home in the middle of the country with no bottle. So after church Brian and I had to run to the grocery store in St. Matthews to get a bottle and thank goodness they had one or we would have been in trouble! After church everyone wanted to meet Megan which was great and she did great! We also set up her christening for April 25th.

As I said we have alot going on comming up. This weekend Megan is getting her 1st professional pictures taken. Then my family is celebrating the spring birthdays. Brians, my dads, my grandmas, mine, and my brothers. April 3-5 is the Flowertown Festival in Summerville which we go to every year :) Then there is Easter. Then Megan's christening. WHEW!!! Also, Brian is going to start traveling again :(
We have taken some pictures around here of Megan because she is growing so fast. She is now around 22 1/2 inches and 10 pounds 8 ounces. She was born at 20 inches and 8 pounds 4 ounces. She has outgrown all of her newborn clothes and some of her 0-3 months clothes all ready :(
Happy 2 year Anniversary to Elizabeth and Allen! (March 22nd)

HAPPY ONE MONTH BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!!

My little girl is growing up too fast!!! She is already a month old :( It doesn't seem like its been a month already but it has. She has grown alot in the past four weeks. We don't have exact measurements but she is getting heavier and alot longer!! She can no longer wear her newborn outfits but can still wear her newborn onsies. So her little legs are becoming very long legs and her little tummy is staying her little tummy.

We are loving this weather! We have taken Megan to the Mall, to Lone Star to see my parents and some family friends, Wal-mart, to eat at Belle's House of Pizza (owned by the daughter of the family that owns the HofP in Orangeburg! We love to eat here!), Carrabbas, Outback, and walking around the neighborhood! Because it is warm and lovely outside I went back through the outfits my sister in law gave me that are too little for my niece Juliana. I pulled out some cute newborn dresses for her to wear :) I hope the cold of this weekend is only this weekend because we are all loving being outside!!!

I am wanting to get Megan's picture taken but she has baby acne and her skin is peeling real bad. So I am waiting on that to clear up before we do it. I hope the outfit she was brought home in will still fit. My grandma bought her this beautiful white dress that I really really want professional pictures of her in! I need to take some pictures of her myself which I will do this weekend.

3 Weeks :)

Little Megan is 3 weeks today!!! She already seems alot bigger than when she was born to me! She is starting to finally wear her 0-3 month clothes and the newborn clothes are getting really snug :) We really need to create a routine for her which I am not to good at!!! Sunday night she decided she wanted to stay awake until 4 in the morning!! That gave me great appreciation for single moms!!!!!!!!!!!! If it wasn't for Brian taking over at 4 am I think I may have gone nuts!!!! Today she has been awake from 10:30-2!!! Hopefully she will sleep most of the night!!!!!!!! After her last doctors appointment we are letting her eat when she wants instead of waking her up so that has thrown off what routine we did have with her!

I can not wait for it to get warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sick of this cold crappy weather! Its suppose to be in the 70's this weekend and through most of next week! YAY!!!!!!

Brians birthday was Monday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!!! We love you!!!!! I made him a cake and we went out for his birthday! I haven't gotten him anything yet for two reasons. He can't decide what he wants and the weather has kept us in doors! We have alot of birthdays comming up! My dad's is Friday, brother in laws is on the 10th, cousins is at the end of the month, grandmas is April 1st, mine is April 6th, and my brothers is April 9th. Then our 4 year anniversary in May 7th :)

My dad is home and doing better!!! One of the arteries at the base of his head was partially blocked which causes him to be dizzy and have headaches. He spent a couple of days in the hospital due to his stroke. Had some physical therapy and came home with medicine! Thank God he is okaybecause it could have been so much worse! I talked to him night before last and he is still dizzy but alot better than he was! Thank you everyone for your prayers!!!!
