2 months!!!

Getting so big so fast! You had your 2 month check up and you are one healthy girl! You are 11.8 pounds and happy! I love your sweet chubby cheeks! Your shots were very sad but you did soooo good. You cried for just a second and then you were okay. You are a tough girl! You have been such an angel and you are so much fun. You are sleeping really well through the night and giving mommy plenty of sleep...thank you! Here is a pic of you before we went to your two month check up...

Tummy time is not your favorite thing to do although some days you do okay. I hate making you do tummy time because you cry most of the time. I usually give in and pick you up right away. You don't mind your tummy mat but you hate laying straight on the floor. I have these black and white cards I put in front of you and you seem to really enjoy staring at them. You are holding your head up really well...you started holding your head up extremely early. Here is a pic of tummy time on your tummy mat with your cards...

Getting you dressed for the day is so much fun for me. You LOVE your changing table! You love to just look around and be up high, you are all smiles up there.You really are so much fun and your daddy loves to come home and spend time with you. He picked out this outfit for you to wear and was so proud of himself and how you looked! You can see your bandaids in this picture from your shots :( and here is another picture of you in your favorite spot (your changing table)...

Have I mentioned that you have the funniest little personality! Just the looks you give are too funny. You are truly a happy baby and have the cutest little grin. I always want to know what your thinking although I am pretty sure you are always thinking how much you love me :). Here is a picture that just shows your sweet personaility...

Now don't get me wrong you do get mad at me sometimes! You pretty much cry when you are hungry or tired BUT every now and then you get sassy because you don't like something. I have the cutest little hats in every color that you look adorable in BUT you are not a big fan of them. I got you dressed for the day and you looked so cute (of course) but you decided you did not want to wear a hat that day. Here is a picture of it...oh and that cute little outfit that you have on still had the tags on it and I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it because it was a little snug on you buuuut you had a little accident in it sooooo I guess we are keeping it :)

Your cousin Dalton had his birthday party last weekend. He turned five years old! I can't believe how big he is now. He grew up so fast and I am afraid you are going to do the same thing! You and your sweet cousin Ansley wore matching ourfits to Daltons birthday party and you two were too cute! I am sure your Aunt Kortney and I will be buying you two several look alike outfits throughout the years. I am sure you two will get old enough to tell us that isn't "cool" anymore but for now it's pretty darn cute! Here is proof....

Well we are headed to Arkansas tomorrow for your daddys 10 year reunion. I am sure you will have lots of fun spending time with all your family and cheering on those HOGS! So I better go get you packed! I LOVE YOU! 

Getting SO big SO fast!!!

Time is going to by so fast! Mommy is finally feeling back to normal after a rough recovery. I am so glad that I can focus all my attention on you now! You are doing so many things...holding your head up, smiling, cooing, and stealing your mommy and daddies hearts more and more every day! We love you so very much! I am now going to be writing this blog to YOU and for YOU so that you can see what you did when you were just a baby! You are the MOST beautiful thing I have ever seen! I love getting you dressed in the mornings in all of your cute little clothes. The mornings are your favorite time of day... full of smiles! We have been jogging every morning when you wake up so mommy can get back into her clothes (one of these days) and you love it! I have not updated this blog in a while so there is a lot to catch up on!

You took your first trip to Arkansas! You did AWESOME! You did so good riding in the car. You slept pretty much the whole time. I think your favorite thing to do while being in Arkansas was swinging on the front porch in Granny and Papa Lynns swing. You LOVED it! Granny and I took you on several walks around the "mountain" by Grannys house. Here is a picture of you and Granny taking a walk...

Something else you got to do while you were in Araksans was meet your baby cousin Miles and mommys best friends baby Piper. We had an afternoon of baby talk! Here is a picture of all three of you...and yes you are the one throwing a fit :). I don't think you liked the bow in your hair but you looked so darn cute!

I was so excited to get home after a week and half of being in Arkansas to see your Daddy. He missed us both so much! He likes having his girls at home! He has been working so very hard to provide for our family. He loves us very much and works so hard to make sure we have everything we need. Here is a picture of you and your daddy...

Football season has begun and we are very excited to cheer on our Razorbacks. We just had our first game of the season. We did not make it to Fayetteville for it but we did watch it from home. You wore two different Razorback outfits that day and looked ADORABLE. Your Papa John bought you a little cheerleading outfit. Here is a picture of you in it...

Another first outing was to church! You have been twice now. We were so ready to get back to church after being gone for so long. Of course EVERYBODY was so thrilled to see you. Our church family was so incredible during mommys rough recovery. They said lots of prayers for us and brought lots and lots of food so we wouldn't have to worry about anything. You really enjoyed all the music during service and then you slept the rest of the time. Here is a picture of your first trip to church in your sweet dress, you looked beautiful...

We try and go see your Aunt Kortney and your cousins Dalton, Hadley, and Ansley

 once a week. Your cousin Ansley was born two weeks after you. I am sure you both will be great friends! Your Aunt Kortney and I try and buy you both matching outfits when we can. Here is a picutre of one...

I hope I can keep this blog updated more than I have been! There is always so much to talk about since you are growing so fast! I love you very much and I think you are waking up from your afternoon nap so I am gonna go love on you!

Maebry Jean Hankins - 07/14/2011 at 3:42 PM - 7 lbs. 4 oz. 19 3/4 inches

Well our sweet little angel is here!!! She is 15 days old today and perfect in every way. I have been a little busy as you can imagine so it has been a while since I have blogged. Labor was a little rough for me to say the least but Maebry did awesome! After 3 full days at the hospital, a blood tranfusion, and several other scares we made it home and healthy!!! Josh was able to stay home a week with us and it was great! He was very sad he had to go back to work. My mom also got to stay with us for a full week and she was a HUGE help. Here she is on day one! Perfect!!!

 

In 2 weeks I have learned so much about her but I learn new things EVERYDAY! I am sure I will be doing this for the rest of my lfe! She loves laying on her side, she hates to be cold, loves to ride in the car, she smiles when you talk to her in a really high voice or when passing gas of course :), and most of all she loves her mommy and daddy and we love her! We have taken a few outings this week and she has been so good. It was nice for both of us to get out and about. You can only be in a house so long! Here is Maebry at 1 week...(6lb 10oz)

Thanks to Granny we have lots of pictures. Granny was Maebry's little poparazzi! Yesterday was a BIG day because Maebry's cousin Ansley was born! My sister had a sweet baby girl and we are so excited to have them so close! I am sure they will be bestest of friends! We can't wait to see her again... glad she is only about 40 minutes away! God has blessed our family with two perfect babies this month! So exciting!!! Here is a picture at 2 weeks old...(7lbs 9oz)



I love this picture!!! I was talking in a high voice and she was loving it! I can't wait to share more on here about her as the weeks progress. Josh and I are so blessed to haver her. We love her so much!             

You are ALMOST here!!!

This is the week!!!! Little Miss Maebry has been a little stubborn so unless she makes it here before Thursday July 14th we are inducing EARLY that morning! She must be really comfortable in my tummy. She is probably enjoying all the good food I am feeding her! I am so excited to meet her and see her sweet little face! All of our family is coming into town Wednesday to get ready for the big day! Josh and I are so so so excited! I think Josh is having a hard time focusing at work this week because he is so excited! Everything is ready to go so I am just enjoying my last couple days before my life is never the same. Here is a pic of me this past week. One more before she is out of my big huge belly :)

I am so excited to experience this blessing that the Lord has gifted us with. What a miracle! I can't imagine how much love I am going to have for her. I am sure it will be love at first sight!

I am ready to meet you!!!

Well.... it is getting very close! I am so excited! We had a sonogram today and everything is looking great. Pic is posted below. The 3D sonograms are just amazing! Although they do look a little weird you can still get a good idea. Of course I think she is BEAUTIFUL!!!

This is a busy weekend with July 4th and our 3rd year anniversary so maybe she will make her debut after the crazy weekend. I will of course be excited no matter when she comes but it will be difficult to plan a birthday, 4th of July, and a anniversary every year! I can't wait to post pictures of her once she is actually here. Hope there is good news soon :)

OH SO CLOSE!!!

It is getting soooo close and I am so excited and ready! It is so hot here in Texas. My time has either been spent in the pool or inside with the air turned down! I am thankful I do not have to go till the end of July or August, blahhh that would be miserable! Everything is ready for our sweet Maebry so the days are a little long sometimes with nothing to do. Everyone is telling me to enjoy and sleep sleep sleep BUT I CAN'T! I guess my body is just getting prepared for the sleepless nights to come. My friend Heather and I put this hair bow frame together for her room and I LOVE IT!

We will see how much hair she has when she comes out, it may be a while before she can wear any bows but maybe not! I can't wait to meet her!

HUGE!!!!!!

Well it is getting closer and closer and I am getting BIGGER and BIGGER! I am so glad I do not have to go through the entire summer like this because this Texas heat is insane! I am getting so excited and so anxious! I am ready to meet our sweet little girl. Her nursery is totally complete, everythings cleaned, bags packed, and we are ready to go. I am really trying to enjoy this last month but I am already getting bored and impatient. I have been to the pool almost everyday because it is GREAT to not feel all the weight that is packed on me. It is a great and much easier way to work out. If anybody has any ideas or suggestions on how to keep busy this last month, let me know!!!

Told ya I was HUGE! Its not easy being super short and super huge at the same time!
