Beautiful Girl!

I'm So in Love!

Aunt Shelly

Aunt Shelly came to stay with us and see Elle! We had a fun time with you Shell! Thanks for coming and for everything you did!

Madelyn Avery

What a beautiful girl! My friend Jessica finally had her baby! It was a long wait because she was past due but well worth it! What a blessing Madelyn is! We can't wait to meet her - Elle is excited to meet her new little buddy!

Grandma and Grandpa

Before Grandma and Grandpa left we went out for breakfast and then took a few snap shots. We had so much fun while you guys were here! Wish we could have spent more time together - the week just flew by! We miss you already - hopefully we will be able to come up within the next few months to see you again! We love you guys! (THE MOST) =) lol

Happy Girl

Elle was napping today on the couch and just smiling away! It was so cute. She is such a happy baby even when she is sleeping.

I know I am not the best about posting new pictures but, I'm trying - it's hard for me to sit at the computer during my "free" time. I'll try to do better! =)

Pretty in Pink

Elle is so pretty in the pretty pink blanket Mum Mum bought her!

One week old

First trip to Downtown!

Can you believe she's already one week old? What a fun week we've had with Her! She is such a Joy and it's amazing how much love Matt and I have for her! It's been a lot of fun watching Matt with her. He is such an awesome daddy!

She's Perfect!

Well shes finally here! I figured since she is my daughter I should post some pictures to! Elle is just perfect! She is such a happy baby. She eats and sleeps great, I actually have to wake her up at night to eat. She just loves all of her Grandparents, Aunts and cousin that came to visit!! She is going to miss you all very much! She can't wait to meet the rest of you, hopfully very soon! I wish we lived closer to share this time with you!

Doctor Update!

Well there will be no inducing me today! My blood pressure was still high but not any higher. The doctor said if anything (my headaches, swelling ect...) get any worse over the weekend to go straight to Labor and Delivery! Hmmm.... maybe if I hit my head on something my headache will get worse! =) Anyways, I have another app. Monday at 10:00. They are going to keep a close eye on me - the doc said she hoped she wouldn't have to see me on Monday! LOL she has seen me 3 times this week so she's hoping I go into labor this weekend! We'll see.....

Yay!

Thanks Mom, Leah and Alyssa for the video monitor for us and Elle! We sure are being spoiled! Having the monitor is going to be great for us to be able to look at her anytime during the night to see that she is alright! I already got it out and set up - I just need Matt to mount it on the wall! Thanks again!!! We love and miss you guys!

No cooking required!

Thanks Mom for the Gift card to target and Super Suppers!!! My mom sent us a gift card to super suppers- it's a place where you can go pick up pre-made dinners and you go home and throw them in your oven or you can freeze them for later!! What a great idea! This sure will come in handy when Elle comes!!

Another Doctor Update

Well, my blood pressure was high again today and I found out I do have preeclamcia however it is not severe enough to induce at this point. They want to watch me really close with my blood pressure being so high and they want to see me AGAIN (third time this week) on Friday to check my blood pressure. If it is any higher on Friday they are going to send me to the hospital - So I guess we should have our bags pack and ready to go!! =)

RADIANT

Leah-

I looked up radiant in the dictionary: Beaming with kindness and love. Your kindness and love is always spilling out from the innermost part of you! I have always been told that what is deep down in your heart is what comes out of you! I just wanted to say THANKS for thinking of me and spending so much time putting the shower blog together!! I LOVE IT! It's something I will cherish forever!

Keeping the mail lady busy!!

Thanks Jay, Shelly and Brook for the gift you sent to Elle! The little Pooh Bear that Brook picked out is too cute! I really hope Elle loves Pooh as much as I do! It's been fun getting the gifts in the mail.

Thanks Shell for the call the other day! It was great talking to you and knowing you understood how I was feeling! Love all of you lots and can't wait to see you!
