We are making it...

next week may be another story!  Mom leaves on Monday...tear:(  I or we rather have been spoiled these last three weeks with all the help.  Now we get to see what life is really like with two!!!!  Actually we are doing really great and are SO happy to have little Quinn!  She is such a good baby!  She basically wakes up to eat at night and all but a couple of nights she goes right back down without a peep.  Will LOVES her and is so gentle and sweet with her.  I couldn't have asked for a better response to her!  Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.  It is so true that you don't take as many pictures with the second...I have got to be better about it!

Look at those kissable cheeks!
Coming home from the hospital...

Michael played in a charity golf tournament (his team won! he was really excited!) with Peyton Manning and Phil Fulmer...I think that other guy in the picture is some old athlete too - I have no idea...
Little-bitty in her bed...
So sweet!
My planter on the porch...I have gotten so many things done around here with my mom.  She is such a good motivator and hates just sitting on the couch!  We have had so much fun, I am going to miss her so much :(
Will and daddy at MDO for Donuts for Dads...
This baby LOVES to be held and is a HUGE fan of the Baby Bjorn!

Quinn Maire...

Quinn is here!  She was born June 4 at 1:27 pm...8 lbs 4 oz and 20 3/4 inches.  We are already home and she is doing great!  Here are some pictures from today and yesterday...Thanks to everyone for the prayers and well wishes!  OF COURSE the pictures are out of order!!!  Oh well...

Better blog while I can...

Getting ready to water some plants...


I have to brag for a minute...I gave him some pretzels yesterday and I heard him say, "makin' letters" and sure enough he was!  Not to bad for a 2.5 year old!  

So tomorrow we will find out when the induction will be...either the 4th or the 8th.  I am hoping for the 4th, of course.  I am getting excited and am really excited about not being pregnant anymore!  I think I really experienced being pregnant for the first time this go around.  When I was pregnant with Will I was on bedrest at 29 weeks so all I did for 8 weeks was lay around on the couch!  Different story this time...Will has kept me super busy and I am really feeling the "pains" of pregnancy!  It's not really that bad, but my energy level is zapped and well it's just kind of hard to do all the things you need to do carrying 30 extra pounds of weight and worrying about over-doing it!  

Here are a few pictures of Will...we are enjoying playing outside in the warm weather!  We are in the process of making over our backyard.  We just got a new retaining wall (we back up to a hill and needed more yard space), next week they are starting our fence, and then will sod.  The fence was a must have to contain Will!  Now we can play outside while the baby naps, etc. 

Not much else is going here.  Hopefully next time I post it will be pictures of Quinn!

A winner finally...

The winner of the drawing is...

#25 Chelsey

Just drop me and email through the website and let me know what you would like to order!

I am going to skip the drawing for the month of June for obvious reasons...Quinn will be here!  I went to the doctor yesterday and we are going to set an induction date of either June 4 or June 8. My doctor will decide at my visit next week.  They are going to do another ultrasound to be sure that she has turned.  At my 32 week ultrasound she was breech - so they just want to make sure before they decide to induce!  I can't believe how soon she will be here!!!  Keep us in your prayers!

Finally...

I am posting.  So let's do a giveaway!  I will try to keep it up, but baby #2 gets here first week of June so I don't know how many giveaways I will be doing those first couple of months!  haha!  SO leave a comment to enter for a...

$50 Gift Certificate for anything on the website!

In other news, we finally have a name for our girl, Quinn.  We are using Maire for the middle name which is my mom's middle name - so Quinn Maire.  Sometimes I get odd looks when I tell the name, but I really love it!   We always keep going back to it.  I am 35 weeks now and my doctor will induce at 39 weeks so about 4 weeks!  I have SO much to do...I am feeling the nesting bug now.  I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone by...we are so excited to meet little Quinn!

Promise to blog more pictures soon...too tired tonight and am in the middle of watching Slumdog Millionaire - good movie by the way!

Easter

We are officially no longer on vacation :(  Michael and I went to the beach last week and mom and dad kept Will for us.  It was our last kid-free trip for a while!  We had so much fun.  It was so laid back and relaxing!  We slept in everyday, went to breakfast, then Michael would go play golf and I laid on the beach.  It was great!  Thank you sooooo much mom and dad!  We took maybe 5 pictures the whole week.  I really had no desire to document myself preggers and in a swimsuit...

Will had a great time with his Grandi and Grandad.  Mom took a ton of pictures that I don't have so I will have to get those and post them.  They dyed eggs, had an egg hunt, played outside for hours, went to High Museum and the Varsity, just had a big time.  When we got back from the beach Will said (when he saw me), "Mommy away..."  I guess that is a good thing though - he had so much fun!  

We stayed for the weekend at my parents and went to their church egg hunt and then church on Sunday.  Then back on the road!  Then we are headed out of town again this weekend for cousin Beau's 3rd birthday!  Will is really excited about seeing his cousins!  Hope you all had a great Easter!
