4 Months.....

Well Miss Rylee will be 4 months tomorrow!!, and its taken us that long to actually finish the nursery. We finally put up everything I wanted on the walls. Now it feels complete and I love the way it all turned out. Lately Rylee wants to be held constantly, and she also likes being able to stand up while being held. She doesn't seem to be content unless is someones arms. That makes it extremely difficult to be able to get things accomplished and actually get myself ready!!! We are working on that because it isn't cute anymore. She's still as happy as can be and is giggling at everything lately especially when I sing to her. Well just a few more days until Christmas and I did just finish shopping yesterday! Now I just need to wrap, clean, and grocery shop for the breakfast I have on Christmas morning for our families. Oh ya and work everyday until Christmas Eve, somehow I end up getting it all done, I love to be under pressure I guess.

Big Moment.....

So on Sunday Rylee rolled over!! It was a very exciting moment for me, and I also was video taping, so I caught it! She does tummy time on the table and all of a sudden she rolled, on the tape it looks as if she rolls off the table but she didn't. I had a slight heart-attack and then I startled her because I was yelling and all excited. I just happened to be trying to make a video for Uncle Skip and I am so happy I was because I was able to catch it and then Adam got to see it as well. Countdown to Christmas, and I only have one person completed. Lots of shopping still to do. I am looking forward to Rylee's first Christmas and starting some traditions.

3 months!!!

Well it seems impossible, but Rylee is now 3 months! She is as cute as ever and is as happy as can be. She is super smiley and has a little giggle. She had to go to the dr. and she now weighs 12 pounds. I am now back to work and it is going just fine. It is really hard to be away from her especially my two nights a week because she is sleeping by the time I get home. She goes to sleep around 8p.m. and is up at around 7 in the morning. She is our good little sleeper. She definately is spoiled but that is okay, that is how it should be.

10 weeks....

Can't believe it but Rylee is already 10 weeks old!! She loves to give smiles and is cooing a lot. She has lots to say and I think once she starts to actually talk we won't be able to stop her. I started working Wednesdays until Thanksgiving and last week was the hardest for me. She of course didn't notice and my mom has her on Wednesdays and took her shopping to buy a new swing and activity mat. (but she's not spoiled ;) It was a long day for me but I really did enjoy seeing some of my clients. So now I am really enjoying every second with my little lady before I return full-time.

Rylee was in for her 2 month check-up today. She weighed in at 10 pounds 12 ounces. She also grew another inch and a quarter. She is growing way too quickly for me. She did have to get some vaccines today, but I was brave and didn't cry along with her like I did the last time. Rylee didn't notice the first poke, but on the second she was screaming her head off. Once she got her band-aids on and I could pick her up she was happy (because she's a bit of a mamma's girl and was happy just to be in my arms). She is soo close to rolling over and she almost did right on the exam table today! I was glad I had a witness (the dr.) because Adam thinks I'm making these things up. She is sleeping through the nights. She will go down around 9 and is usually back up at 5, she eats and then will sleep again until 9 or 10. Some nights she will get up a little sooner, and it makes it easier because she's all smiles, so I don't mind getting up to bond a little more with her! We had Rylee baptized on 10/24 and she was and looked like an angel. She only was startled by the cold water on her head but didn't make one sound. For Halloween she had a couple costume changes. The Badgers outfit really wasn't a costume, it is her Saturday outfit with her dad. That way I don't have to worry what he is dressing her in when I'm at work! ;) He's excited to be staying home with his little cheerleader! I keep having more and more anxiety about going back to work. I'm not worried about her, I'm more concerned with myself. But I know with time it will get easier.

6 Weeks....

Rylee is now 6 weeks old. Can't believe how fast time goes. When she was at the dr. last week she weighed in at 9 pounds, she also grew another inch so she is now 21 1/2 inches long. She is very strong and the doctor believes she will be an early roller, crawler, etc. She will push her self up at tummy time with both her knees and arms, and then just look around. She is starting to smile a lot, especially at Adam. At night she is starting to sleep 4 hours at a time, which is huge, just can't wait for it to be all night! I love being at home with her and not looking forward to going back to work, so I am going to make the best of my next 6 weeks with her. But at the same time she will be in good hands with the family that is going to be watching her and I really do miss working, I worked this past Saturday for a wedding party and I really did enjoy being back behind the chair :)

3 Weeks!!

Well time is going by a little too quickly, Rylee will officially be 3 weeks tomorrow. She is still a peanut but growing and filling out. She still has her hair which is really exciting to me! Last week we went to have professional infant and family pictures taken and we get to preview them this week. She was not very cooperative but I'm sure there were some great ones taken. I can't wait for her to start sleeping a little more especially at night. During the day she fights sleep and gets a little crabby, but at night she is up every two hours for the most part. I know that will change but I'm a little impatient since I really like to be sleeping when its dark out!! But if you ask I still think she's absolutely perfect!!

She's Here!!!!

Rylee Grace entered the world on 8/31 at 6:58 a.m. - weighing in at 6lbs. 15oz. and 19in long. She is absolutely perfect in everyway. I really can't believe that she is finally here, we waited what seemed to be an eternity for her. In her first few hours of birth she was visited by many of those that have also been waiting patiently to meet her as well. It's truly amazing how loved she is by so many. Everyone who see her, family, nurses, hospital staff comments on the amount of hair she has. I of course was extremely happy to see the amount and the fact that it is dark and is curly!!!

38 weeks and feeling great!!!

I am 38 weeks today and feel fabulous! Went to the dr. yesterday and lost a pound, found out I am dialated but that really means nothing. She feels I will for sure go full term, I am back seeing my regular dr. next week, so lets see what he says. I am loving being pregnant and the only complaint is that I am hot all the time. Otherwise I am positive I can make it another 2-3 weeks just fine :)

37 Weeks!!

Had my weekly dr. appt today and all is going just fine. He of course is on vacation next week and told me I couldn't go into labor while he was gone, I just told him that he shouldn't risk going on vacation right now. So I get to see his partner, would be a little comical if she was to come early. We are all pre-registered and have a pediatrician, now to just pack an overnight bag and we should be completely ready!!

35 weeks

So I decided that I would start a blog, mainly to keep everyone updated once our little miracle enters the world, but for the next few weeks I will be trying to get use to this!

I am officially 35 weeks and we finally almost have the nursery complete!!! I can now say that I am ready for this little one to arrive.
