Picture Tag

I was tagged by my friend Nicci. Here is the fourth picture from my fourth folder.

This is me at The Baths at Virgin Gorda in the Caribbean. There are these huge boulders all around on the beaches, some as tall as two stories. They are leaning on each other and piled up so you walk through them like tunnels. The boulders make lots of small coves and parts of the ocean are covered by a ceiling of rock. It is a very cool place.

Our Life

I am sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. Halloween was fun. I took Allison in her costume to see Dave at work, ran errands, and spent the evening at my parents house. That weekend we had Allison's baby blessing. It was lovely. She had a beautiful dress with a little pearl bracelet, crocheted shoes, and a pretty headband. I will try to post some of those pictures but they're on my Mom's camera. I was so excited about her dress though. We bought it with the idea that it will be a family heirloom. We had Allison's name and birthday embroidered on the slip. All the girl cousins on my side of the family will wear this dress and have their names embroidered as well. And pass it on and on.

Some other things that have been going on lately include getting excited for Scott to come home from his mission in December and going to Aruba for Christmas! Dave has been busy with work. I am just busy with my cutie pie and trying to find time for me and to get things done around here. It is crazy that a day will go by and I feel like I have been so busy and did so much but really I didn't do anything except take care of Alli. She sure is getting to be so much fun though.

So that is our life, currently.

Hello Everyone!
WE ARE SO IN LOVE WITH HER!!!

The Secret Garden

My mom is so amazing. She painted this great scene all around Allison's room. It is so fun and pretty. She was so excited to help get everything ready before Alli was born and has been such a wonderful Grandma since. Love you.

so adorable

Here are a few more pictures. I can't believe she is almost one month!

Allison is here!

She was born at 8:10 am. She weighs 8 lbs and 9 oz. She looks like her mom and is as pretty as ever.

TWO WEEKS!!

We are so excited to meet this little girl. I am due two weeks from today. We have our next doctors appointment tomorrow. We can't wait to hold her and give her kisses!

I've been getting in trouble lately for having not posted any pictures of my belly, so here you go.

This was taken over the July 4th weekend.

And this was taken on July 26th at my baby shower.
So there you have it. All I can say is yikes and when can I start to workout? Thank you to everyone that helped give me a great baby shower and thanks to all those who came. It was so fun to see all of you.

I'll take your challenge

I am responding to Dave's challenge. The doctor said the way I am measuring the baby might be on the larger side. So my guess is she will be born the 10th-12th, weighing 7lbs 8oz, and 22 inches. I am aiming lower than Dave mostly out of pure hope. I hope she is even smaller...6lbs would suit me just fine. Any other guesses?

p.s. you can choose the same day that other people have guessed

Prediction Time!

I have challenged Melanie to guess when Allison will be born and her measurements. My prediction is she will be born between August 4th and August 10th and be 23.5 inches and 8 lbs. and 10 ounces. We invite all to give your predictions.

It has been decided...

Baby Allison is on her way. I have been so indecisive about choosing a name. When it came to girls names there weren't any that I totally loved. But this entire time Dave has LOVED Allison. So finally for Father's Day I gave him his gift; I committed to the name he loves so much. I think it is a pretty name and it is classic. Now we just have to hope that the doctor was correct in saying we are having a girl. If not, well, we have a much easier time deciding on boy names.
