These Days.....

Wow, its been forever!!! So sorry....

Life for our little family has been so amazing with this little princess of ours:)
Our little Noelle is almost 4 months old already, I cant believe how fast she is growing. These last few months have been full of adjustments and learning for mommy and daddy!

I went back to work at the beginning of February, it has been really hard to leave her all day, but we are starting to get on a little routine and its working out really well, though i do miss her all day long! Over the last couple of months we have been so excited to celebrate some first holidays with Julia. First Christmas, First New Years, First Valentines Day, First St Patty's Day and this Sunday her First Easter:)

Being Julia's mommy has been such a privelige and blessing to me. I never imagined i would feel this much love for one person. She is my world and everything I do in my life now, she is my motivation!

Robert is so in love with his little princess, i love to watch him play with her and talk to her! His face just lights up when she smiles at him. He is such a proud daddy! It has been amazing to watch God turn Robert into a Godly father:)

I posted a slideshow below, they are pictures from the last few months...enjoy!

Happy New Year!

I know its a little late but happy new year to everyone!! Being a mommy has definitely been keeping me busy lately:) I am loving every minute of it. I cant believe my little girl is already three weeks old today:) Time is sure going by fast. Julia has already grown so much in my eyes. She is definitely starting to develop her little personality, she is awake for longer periods during the day and i love to just sit on the couch and talk to her and give her LOTS of kisses. She is starting to discover her voice and makes the cutest little noises:) Robert and I are about to celebrate our 3 year anniversary on monday. I cant believe we have been married three years already, it has sure gone by quickly. I pray the Lord will continue to strengthen our marriage and our walk with Him. I am so happy to be sharing this experience of raising a child with Robert, watching him become a daddy is a true blessing.

Mommyhood

So i thought i would update this blog a little bit while my sweet little angel takes a nap. Mommyhood so far has been more than i could ever imagine. I love it. I am so exhausted but so alive and happy all at the same time, its amazing. Today was her first Dr appt and it went great. She now weighs 7lbs 3 oz which means she has gained 2oz since leaving the hospital, which dr says is wonderful. She is in excellent health and her growth is progressing normally:) I am so happy my little bug got a clean bill of health. She also had her first bath last night, it was definitely an adventure, she seemed to like it but definitely didnt like being taken out afterward, too cold i think:) Becoming a mother has definitely had its challenges, but seeing this beautiful little girl that God has blessed me with has made it all worth it. Please continue to pray for our little family as we adjust to having this new little one to care for. Thanks:)

Julia is here!!!

Our baby girl has finally arrived. After 14 hours of labor Julia entered this world weighing 7lbs 7oz 20 inches long. Words cannot express how much love i have for this little girl I've only known a few short days:) She is everything i imagined and so much more.

Progress!

So i had my Doctors appt. yesterday and everything went great. Dr says my cervix is thinning and getting ready for labor:) YAY!! She said get out there and walk walk walk. Julia's heartrate is great and her growth is right on track. Now its just a waiting game on when she wants make her debut. Her room is all done, Robert installed the carseat a few days ago and our bags are packed. The anticipation is almost too much for me to handle, i cant wait to finally meet this little girl that has already changed my life so much.
Come soon my little Noelle:)

One More Month!!

So i can't believe i am only one month away from finally meeting my little lovebug:) These last eight months have been filled with lots of different emotions as well as obvious physical changes. The first three months of this pregnancy were definitely rough and not just on me. I didnt have really bad morning sickness but my main complaints were my mood swings and hormones. I was all over the place. My poor husband, i am so thankful for him and how understanding he was during that hard time. I would be crying one minute and screaming the next it was so unperdictable but thankfully around the beginning of my fourth month the crazy lady slowly faded away. Since then my pregnancy has been pretty easygoing, no major problems or complaints. Robert and I have definitely tried to cherish every moment of this time in our lives because we know it will be missed. As I now enter my 9th and final month of this journey I realize how truly blessed I am to have been able to go through this amazing experience. More and more I am realizing how amazing our God is. Everytime I get to see my little girl or hear her heart beat I am just filled with awe at how God is molding and shaping this little love of mine into one of his precious creations. It amazes me that there are actually people who can think we came from goo or something. Our bodies are so complex and perfectly designed how can it be even be denied that we have a Creator. Please keep both Robert and I in your prayers as we enter this last month of pregnancy and the scary but rewarding experience of childbirth. And finally as we start our lives as parents to this precious little one that we are so anxious to finally meet:) We cant wait to meet you little Julia Noelle!!

Sorry Its Been Awhile:(

Sorry i havent updated in awhile, its been nonstop this month. I have less than 8 weeks to go and i am getting very excited to finally meet my little lovebug! We went a few weeks ago for the 4D ultrasound and it was absolutely amazing:) She was a sleepy little girl most of the time, but she was opening her eyes and mouth towards the end. Seeing my baby girl so real and upclose was such an amazing experience. I am so in awe of God and how he is just shaping her into this beautiful little girl:)



We also had my baby shower this last saturday. It was very fun and exciting and my little girl got spoiled beyond belief. She got so many wonderful things. We told people we were decorating with her room with ladybugs and people just ran with it. She got ladybug blankets, clothes, wall art and toys. I love it:) We were so blessed by everyone's generosity and help. I am so blessed to be learning how loved this little girl already is!!


I am going in every two weeks to the Doctors now, just so she can keep a close eye on Julia's development. She is already head down which is great, we are just hoping she stays that way until her b-day. She is right on track with her development and thankfully mommy hasnt gained too much weught yet. Well thats about it, we are just busy preparing for her arrival a little bit everyday. I will try to update sooner. I am posting some pictures of the 4D ultrasound and also of the baby shower. Enjoy:)
