Lauralynn is now 4 weeks old and weighs just over 8lbs! (Picture shown taken at 3 weeks old)She is starting to hold her head up on her own for several seconds at a time. She is a very squirmy little girl, and will try to wiggle her way out of my arms. A funny new development this week is that she talks in her sleep. Very cute. She is still a very good baby and is growing very fast.







Lauralynn is now 2 weeks old. Matt and I are doing great, we love being parents! Laura really spoils us. Besides being a very mellow baby, she sleeps through the night! She is feeding well and doesn't cry very often. The dogs love her and the cats ignore her. Harley our Chihuahua doesn't know what to think yet. Laura is still very small and fits mainly into premies or hand-me-downs. Matt and I feel very blessed to have a healthy and happy baby.

I just wanted to share some decorations that I put in the Nursery.


38 weeks:
We are just about as ready for the arrival of our little girl as we can be. My due date is October 25th. Matt and I are very excited and hope for an easy delivery. This week is my last week of work, and I sure could use the rest. I have been very tired and showing multiple signs that delivery is soon. We feel blessed and want to thank our friends and family for the wonderful gifts that we have recieved. I feel blessed that our little girl has many special people to share her life with. As soon as she arrives I will post many pictures and stories about our new family.
This is our Nursery. It didn't take long to turn one of our bedrooms we used for storage/dog kennel into a beautiful nursery. My friend Christy was very generous, she installed the flooring. I tried to help, but I'm not sure if it was help or not. We were very blessed to have all the furniture in the room given to us, mostly hand-me-downs. I love the green paint on the walls, it matches the bedding set I picked out. I am excited to bring out little girl home to see her room. As for right now we are trying to keep the cats out of the crib.
Feelings from week 31:

I am 31 weeks pregnant now. She is about 3 1/2 lbs and roughly 18 inches long. I have only 9 weeks until my due date. I am starting to get more excited. Our little girl is extremely active and I can often feel her hick-ups. I am still working 10 hr days 5 days a week. Matt and I have started our Birth Preparation classes at the Hospital. I am tired and less comfortable more often now. I am starting to get the feeling that she is on her way,I have too much to do and not enough time to do it in!
