Molly Grace

This is a little late, but we have been very busy!

Molly Grace was born on January 10, 2012 at 1:17 pm. She weighed 8lbs and was 21 inches long! I was in labor for almost 24 hours and ended up with a C-section. We are so in love with our precious baby!

God has truly blessed us with such a wonderful baby girl.


"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14

Almost time...

We are 3 days away from Miss Molly Grace's due date and are so excited! We are more than ready to hold our baby girl. We went to the dr yesterday and it seems that she is very content with staying where she is. We will go back one week from today, if she doesn't come on her own. We should have an induction date by the time we leave that appointment next week.

I am feeling ready! I am more and more uncomfortable as the days go by. My hands swell so bad and at night they hurt. Sleep is hit or miss. I usually sleep really well one night and the next not so much. We have been washing her clothes and just completely finished her room!

Here are pictures of her room:













Now that the room is ready, all we need is her to grace us with her presence!

Have a blessed week!

21 days...

We now have 21 days until Molly Grace's due date! We have been so busy getting thigs done around the house to prepare for her arrival. Her nursery is almost completely finished, swing put together, pack and play put together, and we are working on getting some clothes washed. My bag is mostly packed for the hospital and we are getting the car seat bases installed this weekend! We are both so ready to hold our baby girl!

I have 1 1/2 days of work left and then I'll be home! I have been blessed with this job, but I am definitely ready to be at home to relax a little before Molly Grace gets here.

Here is a picture of me at 35 weeks...




In other news, I have to take the time to brag on my husband. Win has officially passed the CPA exam!!! It has been a long process, but his hard work paid off! I am so very proud of him!

Have a blessed weekend!

Thankful

We have so much to be thankful for. We have had 6 out of 7 baby showers so far and have been so blessed by each of them. We feel so grateful to have these people in our lives that care enough about us to give of their time and money to help us prepare for our Molly Grace's arrival!

We had a shower hosted by some of my favorite girls from Vaughn Park Church of Christ in Montgomery.




We had a wonderful shower hosted by some ladies from Win's parents church.




On Thanksgiving day the Mainor side of Win's family gave us a baby shower.




The Sunday after Thanksgiving the Anderson side of Win's family had a lunch and shower for us.

I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and am measuring right on track in my 34th week, the nurse had a hard time getting Molly Grace's heartbeat because she was moving so much. It was beating at 141 bpm. We are so ready to meet our sweet girl in less than 6 weeks! I am definitely losing my energy again and have had back pains and my feet stay swollen all the time. I know that it'll all be worth it when we see our Molly Grace's face! At least we only have 5 1/2 weeks left!

31 weeks down...9 to go!

I cannot believe that we only have 9 short weeks until we get to meet our Molly Grace! To say we are excited is an understatement! We have been so busy and for me, that has been great. It definitely makes this waiting thing go a lot faster.

Last weekend, I had my first baby shower at Homewood. The girls did a great job hosting and it was a wonderful shower! Here are a few pictures.






This past weekend, we were so busy. I had a very busy day at work on Friday, then headed straight to Win's work for our baby shower there, and then we went to Secret Church that night and got home at 1:15 am. I am so proud of myself for making it through the whole thing because it was such a blessing. God is good and I am SO thankful that we have the freedom to worship our God whenever and wherever we want to. David Platt put a lot into perspective and we were so blessed to be able to hear what he had to say.

This weekend will definitely be more laid back. We have another shower in Montgomery and I cannot wait to see some of my favorite girls that I miss so much!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Week 29

Today I took a sick day. I have a bad sinus infection and didn't sleep well at all last night. Thanks to my Dr. I have a Z pack and should be getting over this very soon.

Molly Grace is continuing to grow and move more and more. I can feel her shifting positions and can feel when her arms or legs are moving/kicking me. Braxton Hicks contractions have started, I am in no pain from them they are just uncomfortable.

I am enjoying the temporary job that I have been blessed with. I have 8 weeks to go and then hopefully a few weeks before our baby girl makes her arrival! We are busy getting her room finished before all the holidays start, when it is "complete" I will post some pictures.

Here is my 29 week picture:

Third Trimester

I am officially in the third trimester! I cannot believe that I am 2/3 of the way there. It really has gone by fast. With this new job, football season, showers, and holidays left, I know it will be time to meet Molly Grace before we know it!

We are so excited and are praying daily for a healthy baby girl and safe delivery. We cannot wait to see what she will look like. Will she have hair? What color will it be? Who will she look more like? How much will she weigh? All of those questions are talked about all the time around here. Less than 3 months to go!
