I'm Still Here :)

Wow! Having a baby sure changes your priorities! Instead of surfing the web during free time, I'm now taking advantage of the quiet and doing the necessary things ( cleaning, laundry, cooking, taking a shower, getting grocery deals together, etc. ). Little Clint is a tad spoiled and likes to be held quite often.......making most tasks harder to do with one arm. :)

Clint is almost 4 weeks old now and is doing great ( Thank God! ). It did take him about 3 weeks to make it past his birth weight, but I think we finally got that problem under control. Lord willing in a couple of weeks, I plan on taking a trip to NC to see my family and then on to WV to show my grandmas their new great-grandchild. I'm very excited to make that trip, but I will also be a little nervous since I'll be driving without the Hubby ( Note to longtime readers: yes, I finally got my driver's licence :) ).

I hope ya'll had a great Easter! The special holiday also happened to fall on my 26th birthday. I am now closer to 30 than I am to 20. ((gulp)) Another special date happened just over a week ago..........my 5th blogging anniversary. Some of ya'll have been with me from the beginning and have been right there through my single hood, courtship, marriage, 2 moves, pregnancy, and now motherhood. A LOT has happened these last 5 years.

Time to cut it short...........I have a fussy baby at the moment. Have a great weekend! :)

Momma's Little Booger Bear

Baby Clint is now 10 days old and we're starting to get adjusted to having this special little person in our house. He's a very good natured baby ( so far :) ) and we love him very much.

My family left yesterday and although I miss them, I'm very thankful they took the time to help out around the house the first week of my recovery.

Christopher is now getting back into the swing of things with his landscaping business plus one night a week of Bible college. I'll miss him while he's out and about, but at least I have little Clint now to keep me company............and busy. :)

All for now! It's diaper changing time............. :)

Hospital Pics

My family made it to GA just before the "real" labor began. After about an hour and a half of pushing, little Clint finally arrived.

Love at first sight!

The proud Daddy!!

Uh.....Oh......Here comes the grandparents with their cameras and text phones. LOL!

He's Here!

Little Clint was born this afternoon. He weighed 8 lbs 14 oz and was almost 22 inches long. More pics to come in a few days. :) Thanks so much for ya'll's thoughts and prayers!

The Real Thing?

Good morning! Just a quick note to let ya'll know that I may be going to the hospital very soon. I've been having contractions for 2 hours now, but my Dr. said to wait until they were 5 minutes apart ( for an hours time ) before coming in. Right now they're about 6-7 minutes apart. Please keep us in your prayers and I hope to share more details and pictures in a few days!

The 40 Week Baby Bump

Well.....Tomorrow (7th ) is my due date, but it appears that the little booger is just plain happy where he's at. Hopefully he'll make his debut sometime next week.

12 More Days......

Yes, I'm still alive, well, and pregnant. :) I think I was having some contractions last night, but they eventually wore off. I went on an hour walk with Christopher this evening hoping to start things up again, but the only thing it accomplished was getting me inspired to scrub some carpet spots once we returned home. My weekly appointment is tomorrow afternoon sooooooooooo........I reckon we'll see then if there's been any change from last week's visit ( aka: the baby is healthy and HAPPY where he's at ).

We received our carseat/stroller combo in the mail last week and it's quite cute! However, the stroller was missing a piece and we had to contact the company to see if they could send it to us in the mail. Thankfully, they promised to do so and we won't have to send the whole set back to them. I also purchased a brown and LIMEGREEN diaper bag and it's already packed for the hospital. It's sooooooooooo cute! :)

All for now! Will continue to keep ya'll posted on Baby "C"!

Snow and 22 Days to Go!!

Last night, we got dumped with 4-5 inches of snow. As usual, us southerners were VERY proud of it and started taking pictures as soon as it started to stick really good. :) In a few minutes, Hubby and I are going over to my inlaw's house to play in the snow with his younger siblings ( well, Christopher will be playing and I'll be taking pics and staying warm :) ).

Concerning my pregnancy......nothing really new other than the fact that I feel that I'm getting bigger every day. :S Only 22 more days until the due date........yay!
