New Baby Girl

There is so much to say that I dont know where to start! Most of you already know the whole birth story, so Im not going into detail. She is such a good eater and sleeper. She is rarely fussy in contrast to her irritable brother (when he was new). Im getting way more sleep than I expected. I love putting bows on her and Ive started making them too! Carter is getting used to his sister, he kisses her upon request and when he isnt stealing her binky, he is trying to put it in her mouth. Here are pics of Camryn Cate. Remember if you need to make them larger, double click.

This Could Be It!

This will probably be my last post until I announce Camryn Cate! If I dont go into labor early (which is a giant possibility), she will be induced 1-7-09.

I have lots of stuff I need to put here but a major lack of motivation. Hopefully, Ill turn out something decent. Thats all I can aim for at this point--Decent mediocrity.

Christmas: Christmas was weird without my family but really relaxing not having to rush around. Christmas eve, we went to Outback and for Christmas dinner we went to IHOP (sorry no pics folks). <----Strangely enough there were TONS of people there?!? Carter had a few presents but his big one is coming friday (a super fun tent with a tunnel THANKS GRAMMY) he will probably play with it once and never go in it again. Anyway...pics...

Crazy hair after nap. The picture does no justice.

Next we have my child ON THE KITCHEN TABLE drinking daddy's dr. pepper while I was looking for PJ's. He is so fast! This child has NO fear of getting in trouble or of heights. Please note the Dr. Pepper shine on his chest in the second pic.

As for me, it sucks to get up for pretty much anything because it feels like my bones are seperated in the most private of areas. Unfortunately being immobile isnt an option with a 19 month old. Currently I am 1.5 cm dilated and HOPING for no early birth before my induce date. My mom and clifton's mom are coming in together on Saturday so hopefully this girl doesnt decide to make an appearance earlier.

Camryn's Room and Silly Carter

I guess Im finished (sort of) with Camryn's room. I really wish Id had the energy to paint again (maybe a really light pink?) but I refused this time. Either way, I am happy most of it is over with (still need to finish hanging clothes and put on the mobile). We finally got Carter into his big boy room tonight but not into his big boy bed. He is still a crib dweller, thank goodness. He is asleep, no prob, even though it is a different crib, he didnt seem to care. Its amazing to me he has never tried to climb out! He is such an avid climber, so I guess it just never occured to him that he could SO get out.

Ive been really lucky with all the girls clothes. I bought MAYBE 10 outfits. Everything else was given to me. It sure did make it easier on us. Hey Grammy, do you see the dresses in the front??? Do they look familiar??? I wore them in 1979 :) I cant wait to see Camryn Cate in them. Glad mom had such good taste.

Carter looks like my mom here to me. Look at those TEETH! I cant get over how many teeth already fit such a teeny mouth.

PS I dont think it will be much longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving and Haircuts

Thanksgiving dinner was delicious and it was nice to see my family--but it's never enough. I came home on Friday and told Clifton to stay with Carter for a few days so I could get some peace and quiet. I really wish that I hadn't moved so far from home. It makes things very difficult for all of us. Some day Ill come back.

Either way, Clifton took Carter to get his hair cut for the first time. Clifton's best friend owns his own barber shop so it made it extra special. ALSO...my papaw bill, without knowing, showed up in the middle of Carter getting his hair cut, wanting one also. I thought that was super cool! I really thought Carter wouldnt cry, I was wrong. Judging from the pictures he was a total crybaby! But, a crybaby without a mullet.

Carter's 1st Haircut...

Hasnt happened yet but will this week! I have been extremely reluctant to cut his hair because I want to keep it longish. Lately though, its beginning to look a bit like a mullet. I dont want this:

I think we will just clean up the mullet part. The front is too short to mess with. Clifton's BFF is a barber so if he makes one wrong move, I have permission to throttle him. Also, notice the Dennis the Menace hair we get to deal with because of his double cowlick.

Camryn Cate's First Pics

The round thing is the belly, above it is the arm and the skeletor looking thing is her face.

The three lines = girl!

Camryn's Name

Im thrilled!! I finally got to see a pic of Camryn's room letters! Im so impressed. She designed them to match her crib set!

I think you can click on it to make it bigger. I told her to make it girly as possible. I think she succeeded!
