Good Ol' Tummy Time

A Laundry Storm

This is Gwynn yesterday during one of her many naps. A storm blew through Columbia and it was really bad and a bunch of limbs and trees fells near our house. So that is why she is in our laundry basket- tried to find the safest place in our house but still allowed her to nap. Isn't she the perfect size for the basket?!

Persons and Smiles

Gwynn has met a bunch of new folks these days.

This past Saturday, she met Ryan's best friend, Taylor Motley.

This was her this morning. I just couldn't resist picking up the camera.

Gwynn smiled for the first time this past Saturday too. She first smiled at the shelf above her changing table...nothing really there but the shelf and the wall, but she time after time smiles.And last but not least!!! At lunch time today!!!

She met several new friends around her age!

Birth Announcement!

One Week & Four Days Old

She is here!!!

Miss Gwynn Marie arrived this past Friday, June 6th at 3:53 p.m. She weighed 6 pounds and 9.6 ounces and 18 inches. The Lord answered our prayers about asking her to be a healthy baby. She is steadily gaining weight and actually slept almost 5 straight hours last night! Not to say she's perfect...the first night we did not sleep at all. We are all doing well and enjoying the trials of being new parents. We have receieved encouragement from many family and friends and we are thankful for the Lord's blessing us through everyone. The Lord's words are always spoken to me and to Ry right when the discouragement begins to settle in. Ryan has been an amazing daddy so far and I think Gwynn has stolen his heart. She will surely be a daddy's girl. We thank everyone for the prayers!

Baby Update!

Hi Everyone! Today I had my 36 week appointment (I am going every week now). Long story short, everything is okay with me and with the baby. But, the doctor couldn't find her heart beat for a few minutes, then after prayer, the doctor found the heart beat, but it was found really high on my belly meaning that the baby's position might not be head down. So, she wanted to do an ultrasound to be sure she was head down. All is fine with baby, she is head down so no having to have baby turned or anything like that. The ultrasound did show that she has bunches of hair!! I told the ultrasound tech that I knew she did because of all of the heartburn I have had throughout this pregnancy. The hair is all that white fuzzy area around here head that the arrow is pointing towards.

Nursery!

Hello All! Here are some photos of our nursery at the moment....probaly a few more additions may take place before she acuttally arrives. We have been blessed with an abundance of stuff for our baby girl. She will not be lacking. Please continue to pray for strength and perseverance in these last few weeks. Also, for my sister, Crystal, and her hubby, Jason, who are both awaiting the arrival of their baby girl too!! Should be any day now!! I was supposed to go into "sympathy" labor when she has her baby, but....I think that won't be happening.

32 weeks!

Ryan said to me today, "do you realize, you still have a month or so of growing to do?" I said that I was aware of that fact. She'll find more room to grow though believe it or not.

Hilarious aren't they?

Yes, these are my parents. They are on a cruise in the Caribbean. They sent us a few photos and I thought that these we funny so I wanted to share. I love my parents.

Boy or Girl?

On January 14th, we ventured to the doctor for our half way point ultrasound. We were both excited. Ryan said that he told everyone at work before he left that he thought our baby was a girl. I was set on thinking all boy. I was shocked and Ryan was not too surprised when we found out that our baby is definately a girl!!! It was so neat to watch her move on the ultrasound screen. Here are some of the ultrasound clips and a short slideshow that Ryan put together...he's going to be such a great daddy! Thank you all for your continued prayers as we only have maybe less than 20 weeks left!
