The most beautiful girl in the world

Annabelle Joy arrived on April 22, 2013 @ 12:31am. 7lb 4oz, 20 inches long and a head full of hair.
Brent and I have never been happier and could not possibly be more in love with our little angel.
Birth story to and day to day details to come.

Annabelle: you've already captured my heart.
The moment you were born my entire life changed. You're the most beautiful little thing I have ever seen and you've made me smile everyday since you arrived.
You're a wonderful (and hungry) baby girl
You're waking up right now so I better go get you.
Love your mommy

Due Date

Baby B: you're due date has arrived, you haven't!
Thankfully, physically I'm feeling pretty good. My patience are a different story. Your dad and I cannot wait to meet you. It is such a weird feeling just waiting for the biggest thing that will ever happen. You know it's coming but you don't know when. I'm on the edge of my seat constantly but trying not to read into every little sign my body sends me... easier said than done.
The house is clean, I got a mani/pedi today, now I just need this to kick into high gear so we can meet you and cuddle you!
I keep seeing pictures of people with their new babies and I cannot help but covet that feeling.
It is both thrilling and terrifying to think that this could be my last entry with you in my belly!
I won't drag on, but know that the feeling of waiting for you, of knowing you'll be here so soon, is life-changing, anxiety-provoking, but also so perfect! I know you will change our lives, you already have... Until I get to hold you in my arms...
love, your mom

38 weeks and counting

Due in less than two weeks. I finished work last Tues and have been busy up until today. Now I find myself getting anxious to meet this little one.
With nothing scheduled I can't help but start to wonder when Baby B will make his or her grand entrance. Will it be soon? Will I be waiting another couple of weeks?
I'm going to have to try and find ways to keep busy until B decides he or she is ready to come out and meet us!
I am thankfully still feeling good. I'm up an insane amount of times through the night to pee. My hips get a little sore in the evenings but other than that I'm in good shape so far!
Check-ups have been going good! No concerns.
Nursery is set-up, bags are packed... we're ready when you are baby B!
