5 years!!!

Yesterday marked 5 years since Daniel and I first met. We were set up on a blind date by my old roommate, who was dating Daniel's friend. I never could have imagined the journey we would take because of that blind date. It hasn't always been easy, we have definitely had our share of ups and downs, but we have been able to come through it all closer and more in love. Daniel and I have been through so many things together, and although it has been hard at times, I am so grateful for the "broken road" that has led us to where we are today. Daniel truly is my best friend. He knows me better than anyone else. I am so grateful for his unconditional love that allows me to be crazy, emotional, silly, sad, happy, or whatever mood I might be in. He puts up with them all :)

Thanks honey for being so great! Thanks for all the help and comfort you give me. I can't imagine starting a family with anyone else. Thanks for your goodness, love, and faithfulness. I love you!!

Are you okay?

So, I have a funny story about how I look post-pregnancy. Our nurse the last day in the hospital was from jamaica, we think. I had a hard time understanding her. We only had her for a few hours before we left for home. Anyway, she was in the room talking to us and she looks at me and asks if I feel okay. I say that I feel fine. She said, "you look really pale". I kind of just looked at Daniel and smiled, because I am always pale. My family constantly bugs me about it. She was not convinced. She proceed to pinch my checks and face to see if I had any color, and she looked in my eyes. She finally let it go, only to bring it up again when she came in the room a little later. I tried to tell her that I was always pale, but she never seemed fully convinced. She told me that I need to get out in the sun some more. She also said that if she was pale, no one would know. :)

Little Lucy

We're Home!

This is Lucy in the car seat and ready to go home.

Daniel and I decided to eat our wedding cake finally (we forgot to eat it on our anniversary). I thought it would be fun to eat it when we brought little Lucy home, so here are some pics of the cake eating (no one got cake on their face this time :) ).

Lucy Sophia

Lucy Sophia was born on Febuary 17 at 7:56 pm she weighs 6 lbs 2 oz. And is 19 inches long. Amy and the baby are doing great.

The Weekend of Waiting.

The baby's room is ready, our bags are packed the car seat is installed. Amy will get induced on Tuesday and we have Monday off for Presidents Day. So all we have to do this weekend is wait.

Can Lucy come out to play...

Amy's doctor has decided that if Amy doesnt have the baby by the end of next week that they will induce her on Tuesday the 17th. I keep bugging her everyday to have the baby. You see we get the 16th off for presidents day paid and if i have to stay home the whole day waiting for the next day i will go crazy. And it would be nice to have an extra day off paid with Amy and Lucy. So maybe when Amy has her appointment next week she can convince them to let her have the baby on Friday instead of the next tuesday. Either way she will have a B-Day close to Valentines day.

Excited!!!!

So Amy said i could pick one thing in the baby's room and this is what i picked. The first sqaure was going to be somthing else but it didnt work out so i just stuck that piece of craft paper in there. So if you have any good ideas let me know. Hopefully it isnt a little boy : )

Ready and waiting

The nursery is mostly put together now, with the crib and rocker. Now we just have to wait for this little girl to come. Daniel has also been practicing his parenting skills on Rowdy (our stuffed dog). Rowdy also enjoys sitting in Lucy's bumbo (look closely at the last picture).
