3 Weeks

 
 
My little girl is 3 weeks old as of yesterday.  With this milestone I finally got her announcements sent out!  The actual pictures however were taken when she was a week old.  Pictures in the hospital was my original plan but those prices were out of control.  I'm surely no professional photographer but I have to say I'm pleased with how they turned out!
 
This was one of the last pictures I snapped.  Something about this picture gives me and overwhelming feeling of responsibility.  Such a tiny little thing has become the number one most important job I will ever have in my life.  I just hope I'm up to the task!

Thursday, June 26, 2014


 Nora Suann Evans was born on Thursday, June 26, 2014.  6 pounds 5 ounces, 19 inches long.  She came fast and quiet, turning our lazy life upside down.  The last two weeks have gone by in a blur with a lot of tears (mostly from me) but so much happiness and love.  So far Miss Nora is prefect but the adjustment of a newborn is so much more than I could have ever prepared for.  My weekly posts I was planning are doubtful but maybe I can try to fit just one in while on maternity leave :)

Nursery Complete!


We finally have the nursery finished.  My goal was June 1st but I missed that mark by about 2 weeks or so.  No worries though because I finished before she got here and I love the results.  I had some different ideas going into it but when I found the fabric for the skirt and closet I had to change my vision a little.  I really began to tap into my girly side and realized that I'm in love with anything floral :) and that I didn't hate pink as much as I thought I did. 

 
The dresser was a Craigslist find.  We repainted and replaced the hardware with some beautiful crystal knobs.
 

 



This is Gloria and one my favorite purchases for baby girl :) 
 
Cant wait to meet you baby!

Baby Girl

 
I am 33 weeks and 2 days pregnant.  I'm playing you music from a music box your dad bought me at a thrift store several years ago.  I can feel you moving and kicking around and I love you so much it makes me want to cry.  A year ago at this time I was just beginning to think about the possibility of being pregnant and a year before that I was thinking about not ever being pregnant.  How quickly things can change.  Everyone keeps asking "You're probably ready to get her out of there huh"?  No, no I am not, you're nursery is not done, the house needs a lot more cleaning and I don't have enough diapers stocked up yet.  Still though I'm so excited to meet you, to see your face, your eyes, your fingers and toes, smell you, hold you and even hear you cry.  I hope you take it easy on me because I am a newbie but I'm ready to learn with you what this mommy/baby thing is all about.  Your Dad is also very excited. You'll love him, and he will be even more in love with you.  It did take him a short time to get used to the idea that you were not a boy but now I can see in his eyes the excitement of a baby girl when I show him a cute dress or onesie I received as a gift.  So far I have only purchased one item of clothing for you, all the rest have been gifts.  The one item I did buy is a dress that you wont even be able to wear until around your first birthday but I am already looking forward to seeing it on you.  For now I'll keep preparing your room, our home and my head.  6 more weeks :)
