Wordless Wednesday-The joys of Cornhole (No use in crying over split corn)

My 28th Birthday Last Month

My birthday is the week before Christmas and we celebrated by going to a Japanese restuarant because I thought E would enjoy the show and she did! It was also her first time sitting in a high chair and it is time to get a high chair cover because I was FREAKING out! haha! Notice all of the blankets covering the high chair.

She wasn't too sure about the cook! haha!

I love my baby girl!

This is my stressed out faced. haha!

Typical "NO" don't touch that! LOL!

Eileigh's Crazy Parents

But they CAN be normal...haha!

Wordless Wednesday-EAB sleeping in her crib! (never happens) =)

This day one year ago...

On this day one year ago, Bruce and I found out we were expecting a HEALTHY baby GIRL!!! We were beyond STOKED! I would have been excited either way but the fact that I would have my very own baby girl was so exciting! I never would tell anyone if I was hoping for one gender over the other but in all honesty I think I wanted a girl. I kept telling myself that I was probably having a boy (you know to get myself ready for the possibility) but when the ultrasound tech was trying to get a view of the goods, I knew before she said anything that Eileigh Ann would making her debut and not NWB. (That's the initials of our boy name.) Here are the ultrasound pics from that day:

Her little foot!

Her sweet profile!

Perfect little hand with all FIVE fingers!

Check out that big ol' belly!

Belly with Legs!

Her legs are stretched out. Her butt is on the right.

Flashback Friday (January 3, 2011)

This time last year, I was 17 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I was so excited about my anatomy scan on January 7th which is when you find out boy/girl and a look to make sure baby is healthy (the most important part!) I look more pregnant this year than I do in these pictures from last year. I guess it is time to loose the baby weight. Which I was already down 4 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight at my 4 week post partum check up but since then I have gained a ton of weight back. I am probably at the same weight that I delivered E at and that is unaccepable. So let's relish my awesome skinny 17 week pregnant self while I eat my weight issues away with another Reese heart.

Hello 2012!

I can't believe it is the NEW YEAR already!!! I got an Iphone for Christmas so hopefully updating will be a breeze considering my phone sends my pictures to my computer and then I can just write and select instead of having to upload them myself. Ahh, I love my Iphone.

E has refused a bottle and paci. She has only had two bottles and she must've been starving to take those and we've bought every name brands of paci there is and she doesn't like nare one of them. (Nare is southern for none ;-)) So imagine my surprise when she took to chewing on her sippy cup that Santa left in her stocking. I still prefer breast feeding her over pumping anyday so that is probably a contribution to her never taking a bottle but hey it is a lot easier and less mess. It is so nice not having to buy or wash bottles. However, the time restraints and the lack of lactation rooms at places makes it a lot more difficult, but the reward is worth so much more than any inconvenience on my part. Check out E and her sippy cup...
