the first two weeks...

It is strange how fast and how slow time can go. I am really trying to just love each and every minute of this new baby and enjoy her as much as I can. Still, I find that I have moments of anxiety where I start to think about things that are beyond my control and too far in the future. I don't remember ever feeling this way with the other two kids, so maybe it is just about being older. However, I AM more relaxed about so many other things with Maggie. I know that one day she won't want to cuddle all day, and that she won't need me for every little thing, and I know that one day she will head off to school and get to learn all the hard lessons of life. So for now, I just focus on her little face, her little toes, her tiny hands, and her perfect eyes. Sleep will come again (I hope!), but 'tiny her' will keep on growing.

13 year spin...

Today Kory and I have been married 13 years! I am so happy today and filled to the top with peace and gratitude.

sweet baby Maggie...

Today Maggie is one week old! I love her so much already. She was 7 lbs 12 oz at birth and came into the world crying with both lungs. I loved going drug free and really feeling everything, including all the emotions that accompany a miracle like birth. Each day I think that I want her to stay tiny and dependable. I can't wait to love her for the rest of her life...

the waiting game...

So we are down to less than 11 days! It is so fun to think that soon our family will grow by one. Emma came up with this shot, and I have to say I really like it. Happy March everyone!!

the politicians wife?

There were SO many people there!

Deb (Kory's sister) and Jerry (Kory's dad)

On Saturday night we made it official...Kory is running for Box Elder Assessor. I could not be prouder of him. He did such a great job talking to people and not trying to be someone he is not. He brought along Deb and his dad Jerry to help him work the crowd. It was really fun meeting new people and telling them about Kory and why he is the best. We are excited about starting the full campaign process!

Baby Maggie's Nursery!

So this is it! I wanted a very spring theme, and so we have birdies, a tree, and lots of pink! I still need to get a wall paper border put up, but I can't find one I like. I am also still saving for my dream glider cushy chair that will go in the nursery. The pic of the three birds is me (yellow cause it is my fav color), Emma (hot pink), baby Maggie (baby pink).

It was so much fun to do, but I am glad it is done now!

showered!

I had SO much fun at the MarketStar baby shower hosted by Val, and my neighborhood shower hosted by Tyra, Julie, Shauntae, and Jenny! I feel so loved and so prepared now for our little girl to come home with us. The women absolutely spoiled me! XOXO to all of you!!
