The night before...

Here is a picture from the night before we went in to the hospital to have Madison.

Wow I was big!

Madison Elizabeth

On Wednesday April 21st, Madison Elizabeth made her arrival. She was born at 9:00am exactly, weighing 7 lbs and 8 oz, measuring 20 inches long. We have ourselves a little stringbean here. Maddie is such a blessing; she sleeps so much, which mommy loves. We have to wake her to eat. She most definitely already has her daddy wrapped around her itty bity finger. We came home on Saturday, and the first night went smoothly, hopefully this will continue.

The picture above was taken in the hospital, I love that she has so much hair, wonderful for little bows.
This is a picture with her daddy, he loves to just hold and cuddle with her, so do I. Who wouldn't want to cuddle with this cutie?!?!

I will get more pictures posted soon, but mommy is so tired.

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts!

Mommy and Daddy couldn't be happier and could not be more in love with this little bundle of joy!

Promotion

Rob got some very exciting news this past week, he was getting a promotion at work. This was great news, except that he was going to be moving back to patrol and working 6pm to 6am. The timing could not be worse since I am due at the end of the month and he starts April 25th at his new position. It is very good news, just really bad timing. He is excited about this opportunity, but he doesn't really want to go and work back on patrol. This new position is a supervisory one, so he will not have a specific "beat" to drive all the time. He is sad about leaving CID, which is the detectives unit, but happy for the opportunity.
We hope that the transition to the new hours and having the baby will be smooth. Only time will tell...

Sleepwalking

So, after being together for over 6 years, we experienced something new last night. At about 3am, I was woken up by banging. I rolled myself out of bed to make sure that everything was OK. I get to the kitchen, and there is Rob reorganizing the pots and pans. He had taken them all out of the cabinet and was restacking them on the counter, thus the banging. I asked him what he was doing and he replied "nothing". I stood there for a few seconds and then asked him again, but got the same answer. I was confused, but decided to go back upstairs and try to get back to sleep, since it was the middle of the night. He must have fallen asleep on the couch last night, cause he never came to bed until about 7 this morning. I asked him then if he remembered what he did, and he had no idea what I was talking about. I concluded that he must have been sleepwalking. I thought that this was too funny not to share. Hope you enjoyed my story for the day.
After speaking with him this morning about it, he realized this is most likely not the first time he has sleepwalked; just the first time someone has seen him.

Baby Shower

Camie, this one is for you girl!

A few weeks ago, I had my baby shower thrown by my wonderful friends. It was a blast to see everyone together and in one place. I enjoyed it so much. I feel so much more prepared now for her arrival, which could come any day now. Here are a few pictures from that day.

Snow...

We had some great snows this year down in Atlanta, yes, I said Atlanta. We have had 3 winter storms this year already. Here are some good pictures from the second one a few weeks ago.

Christmas

We had a great holiday season this year. We got to spend some good time with family and friends. Here are a few pictures from our holiday.

Sorry for the delay in the postings. I have been very busy and oh so tired. Hopefully I can try to keep up better.

Baby Madison

And for those who don't already know, we found out that we are having a little girl in April. We are very excited, ready to start planning and painting. Here is a picture from our 3D ultrasound yesterday

We are excited about the addition to our family. I will post more updates as we get any more news. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes, it means the world to us.

Update...

I promised more of an update... so here it is! We are expecting our first bundle of joy next April. I have been feeling great so far, so just praying for an uneventful pregnancy. We are very exciting about adding to our faimly. I will post some pictures of our little "peanut," as it has been called as soon as we get some good ones that actually look like a baby.

Delay...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life has been crazy around here. The last time I updated was after our first trip to New York in July. In August, we went back to New York, except that this time it was to Buffalo for Rob's friends wedding August 8. We had a good time. I was able to go to Niagara Falls with Rob and I will post pictures soon, I promise. We had a good time celebrating Stephanie and Tyler's wedding. Three weeks after that, we went to Chicago to visit my best friend ever, Camie. Camie finally moved back to the city so we went for a long weekend. We got to eat real Chicago pizza, yummy!!! We got to see Wrigley Field and the Cubs game, where they beat the Mets, which is always fun for me!! We also got to see the bean and walk downtown for little while. It was great to see her and I miss her dearly, she needs to move down here pronto... I will post pictures from everything shortly. I don't have any pictures with me as I am house sitting and have been for the month, I am done next weekend. I will be glad to be home with my husband and animals. I miss the chaos that was my life. I am super exited about next weekend. Not only is it my one year anniversary but I get to go the UGA v LSU game with some great friends Stephanie and Scott.
More updates to come soon!
