From Hospital to Home

She was born at 6lbs and 11 ounces but, left the hospital at 7 lbs and 1 ounce!  She is growing! 
Georgia Kelley brought Harry a trampoline home!  He was very appreciative!


We are so happy to be home! Chad and I are so in love with this little girl.  Thank you for the blessings!
I have a visitor post coming soon. I have a few more pictures to post from the hospital.

Fashionably Late

I hope this is not a sign of the inner diva in Miss Georgia Kelley but, she has decided to be forced out and that will be happening on Thursday!  Am I sad?  Yes, we were ready for our little girl to get come today!  I have had a few hours to grasp on to the fact that I have 4 more whole days to go out and about and let me tell you...we have a plan!  I even get a whole day of craft fair on Thursday!  Tonight we are going over to our great friend's house for dinner and then some girls and I are going to the late movie!  I have lunches planned for the rest of the week too, one of my favorite parts of not being a teacher.   I remember never getting to go to lunch with friends outside of school and now it is one of my favorite things!

What I love about being pregnant is strangers asking me about it! I also love hearing their stories too.  I know that everyones is worse than what you can imagine but, I enjoy hearing the pride in their voice and the excitement they have about their very special day.

I was complaining to the doctor about how annoyed I was that I could not just go into labor the natural way. I stopped after realizing how many more awful things could go wrong!  I should just be praying for a healthy delievery take advantage of being with just Harry.

I am also enjoying Wassail, cold weather, heavy blankets, Harry's love for Veggie Tales, and baby girl stuff online!  This is kind of a random post but, what else am I going to do while Harry is sleeping and I totally thought I would be admitted into the hospital today because, I knew I was at like a 10...instead I am nothing and sitting on the couch ordering personalized matcing outfits for the kids! Thanks for all the love!  Hopefully a more fun post will come in the next two days....what could I possibly post about??

Harry Ware and the Great Pumpin...Patch

If you have not made it out to the corn maze in Southwest City, MO, you are missing out!  Chad parent's joined us on a very eventful trip to the pumpkin patch!Cow Tractor RideYou can see I am obivously close to having a baby:)  I was glad she let us take the trip to the pumpkin patch with Harry!    We all had so much fun!We are officially ready for her to join in the fun!Hay RideDo you think Harry loves his Mimi and Papa???  There is no question!
These are just a few of the many pictures we took!  There were so many things to do we didn't have time to get to them all! If they were open on Monday, I would take Harry by myself....and the fact that Monday is our due date may play into that too!  Next year we are making everyone go with us! They are going to have a watermelon patch open in the summer...we will be there!

Harry Days

A few random pictures of what we have been up to!Jake and Harry painting pumpkins.His first trip to the circus with mom and dad.An attempt to experience Ricks' Bakery, he wanted his Vanilla Wafers....boys just don't get it!Jumpin' at Jump Zone
Chad and I were able to have a fantastic date night Saturday night while Harry went to the circus with Brooklyn and stayed the night with Mimi and Papa! I was even able to teach the two's at church without Harry fits!  It was a wonderful weekend.  I treasure my time with Chad and Harry.  I know this sounds cliche' but I seriously would rather be with these two guys more than anyone.  We were going to go to the MO pumpkin patch tonight with our life group, but the weather has changed our plans!  I wonder if we will get a chance to go as a family before GK gets here!

All Things Are Ready

The big decision when having a baby is what outfit she will wear home...right?  Well, we have finally picked one!  Actually, Chad did!  Let's have a run down on the finalists!This one is  Chad's mom  and Harry's vote for her take home gear.  The only thing is it is a bit big, we have a feeling GK is not going to be too big.I liked this outfit that Amy got GK because it small and just plain sweet.We decided on this one for the day before she leaves since it is hard to wear a gown in the carseat.Drum roll.... Chad chose this one as the big winner!  He said he liked the colors! You just can't beat hot pink!  Melissa, Kathy, Holly, and Kim B are the ones who spotted the bill on this dress! Kia gave her the pants and the dress she gave her almost made the winner!  Socks were a given to her by Miss Amy Ware too! I made the bigger than life bow that needs some yellow, but I have checked out from bow making for a while!The other thing that is ready is her bookshelf.  I ordered it from Wal-Mart and yes, they personalized it!  It was a good price and I am thanking Pat and Gail for the gift card that paid for it!I could only put 10 letters on the monogram and Georgia Kelley did not fit, I asked Chad about Georgia and he agreed she is a Georgia Kelley, not just Georgia.I think Stellaluna will be a staple in her life...if you've read it you will get it!All things are ready, but I am not so sure I am!  We are all so excited about her but, I just worry about how it will effect Harry.  I keep surrendering the worries to God but, I wake up every day with them back!  I obviously need a lesson on trust!
