Baby of Ours

Our sweet baby girl is loving "twirling" in her mommy's tummy.  I feel her every morning when I wake up and every evening right before I go to bed.  What a blessing!  Here are a few of her cute outfits and other must need items.  She is spoiled already ;)  

Almost there (It is actually done I just need to take some pictures when the door is out of the middle of the room)

Aunt Kari made her a BEAUTIFUL scrapbook for every month of her first year.  The work and time spent is so appreciated! 

This book is especially nice if I get behind on my own scrapbook.  I can simply put some pictures in from that month and it is done....Very nice!

The shoes are even IZOD, a golfing brand.

A lady at work made this quilt for her.  Very beautiful.

The room was inspired by this blanket.  LOVE IT!!

All the clothes already!  And mommy didn't even post a few of the extra special cute ones ;)

Smile Pretty Baby

I can not describe the feeling of seeing your baby during an ultrasound.  The moment almost stands still as you watch her snuggle in your belly and hear her heart beating.  My heart leaps every time.  I never thought I could love someone so much.  Here are a few of the pictures (ok, not just a few, alot.  But I am just so excited).  The Ultrasound tech did once again confirm she is a girl and that her parts were in plane view (this best not be a trend baby!!)  haha!

Opening and closing her mouth, just like on the last Ultrasound

Lady Parts

My Favorite.  She is holding her mommy in this one ;)

Ben still thinks we are going an alien.

PaInTiNg BeGiNs

Frequently I get asked what the baby room "theme" is going to be.  Right now the theme is more a color combination.  Pink and a pale Sage Green, with of course, the Stewart signature chair rail.  Ben says to me,  "Really, another chair rail.  Can't we do like an accent wall instead."  I reply very politely with, "Aaaah, NOO.  We are not skimping now buddy."  haha!  Our little peanut will love the room.  Here are a few of the beginning pictures of the pink on top.  Just have the green to go!!!  Thank you honey!!!

Stewart Family Reunion

Reunion is defined as a gathering of family, relatives or associates who have been separated.  We had a house full this past weekend.  Mary and Gary came along with Matt, Kari, Ryan, Nick and baby Lucas.  We love family and we love company so the weekend was fantastic!!!   Here are a few snapshots of such fun!

Colorado Pumpking Patch was alot of fun.  The kids loved running around, petting the animals, running through mazes and climbing up hay stacks. 

We also had fun shopping and hanging out at the house.  Thanks Stewarts for such a fun weekend!!!

18 & 20 Weeks and Growing

Here is 18 weeks (the "before" shot)

Time can go by so quickly but simultaneously go so slow.  I can't believe we are already at 20 weeks but then again, why is it taking so long.  I am just ready to hold our sweet baby girl.  (And now the "current" shot)

Dear Baby,

I smile because I know you are with me

I smile because I know you can hear me

I smile because I know you are going to add so much to our family

I smile because I love you

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Stroller

I knew coming into this whole Baby World there was going to be alot of decisions, what pediatrician, what babysitter, formula vs. breast feeding, etc.  What I failed to think of was trying to pick everything out to just support a baby.  I.e. stroller, car seat, high chair, breast pump, crib, crib bedding, baby room accessories, changing table, pack n play, diaper bag.  I mean, really, for a 7 lb baby!!!  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE SHOPPING, but I stress because I want the best.  I have the first baby "Syndrome" where I worry about safety and cuteness (I just can't help it).  I was explaining this stress to my wonderful husband and daddy to be and the response I get is "it will take like two days, what is the hurry."  I AGREE!!  But why can't I just stop worrying about not having everything.  Ugh.  Ben is very good for me in these situations.  I knew God sent him to me for a reason. 

So... just to make me feel better we went to Babies R Us and he helped me with picking out a stroller.  Thank you honey.  You made this mommy to be a bit less stressed out!!  Here is the one we are picking......

Isn't she going to be so cute in there!!!  And extra safe!!!
