TIME OF OUR LIVES!!

Ok! So I haven't been keeping anyone up-to-date with pics of the Baby Girl... SORRY!! I have just been enjoying the time that I have had with my family here! My mom, Emily and David have been here for 3 weeks and the rest of the fam joined them for the last week of that!! I was able to sleep as late as I wanted, there was always someone for Emery to play with, someone to hold the baby and not a meal to worry about!! I would have to say that I have been very spoiled!! It was such a great time but now we have to move on!

My family has been gone for 2 days and I already can't wait until we see them again!! It was wonderful to see the way that my sisters and brother interact with Emery and Maycie. Everyone just loved on Baby Maycie! And I just can't help but smile every time I think of Emery laughing at Kelsey, playing play doh with David, Making Pizza with Emily, picking blueberries with Cammie, Kimberly cheering Emery on when she goes potty, and Emery giving hugs to her Papa Howie and Mama Sharon! And yes Mama Sharon even though you didn't get much attention after all of Emery's Aunt's arrived I am more than grateful for all the time you sacrificed to be here with us!! We love you and Miss you ALL!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!!

It Doesn't Get Sweeter Than This!!

It has been so fun to see how Emery has been with a new little one around. A few of our favorite things have been:

* On the way home from the hospital Emery was so excited and with a huge smile said " Mommy Dr. Thomas got Baby Maycie out!! Now you can run and now you can bend over!!" It is amazing how observant our little 2 year old is!

* Before Maycie was born we were prepping Emery and saying that she can be a big helper and get diapers for mommy, etc. So every time I even mention that Maycie has a dirty diaper Emery is right there with a fresh one!! It has been 2 1/2 weeks and she is still going strong. I thought it would have faded by now

* Emery has asked me a few times if Maycie can talk yet because she said when Maycie learns how to talk she wants to teach her how to say "Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow!"

She's Here!!!

Here are a few pictures to please all of you that are dying to see our little Maycie Cheyenne. She was 9 lbs 7 oz. and 21 inches long. Mother and baby are doing well.

Late Nights, Doctors Appointments, and Still No Baby!

Like the title of this blog states, there is still no baby. We do like to have you hanging in suspense wondering if Maycie has arrived yet, but I (Scott) have taken over the blogging "wheel" for the time being. Tasha is having a lot of contractions and is definitely ready to have this baby. We both feel like it could happen anytime over the weekend, but nothing is for sure. If Maycie decides to be strong-willed, then we may have to wait to be induced on Tuesday. We will be sure post as many pictures of our new little girl as soon as she arrives. So as we continue to enjoy our late nights and doctors appointments, just remember to keep Tasha in your prayers!

Due Date and Still no Maycie

Do I look ready or what??

Oh So Cute!!

Ok, so this last week waiting for Maycie to get here has felt VERY long!! We were going to the pool almost every day but now it is so hot that swimming is almost unbearable. So I have been doing many projects to keep me busy and help time pass... I will post more on that later.

Well today I decided that I would attempt to cut Emery's hair. We have been talking about doing it for awhile now to help even it out. Well my first attempt wasn't so great because I just kind of cut it all straight across. So I thought that we would just wait until this afternoon and take her in to the salon to have them give it a little shape. After about an hour of staring at it and hating it I thought that I would attempt to do it myself. I just wanted it to be shorter in the back than in front. Well this is what we ended up with!! I have to say that I am pretty proud of it. It isn't perfect but who would notice??

PREGO SISTERS!!

My sister Sharalee and I are both pregnant! It has been kind of fun being pregnant at the same time as her. I am due July 26 (Girl) and she is due September 26 (Boy)!!

I really wanted to get this picture taken because we are both now showing and she left out of town until after I'm due. So we didn't want to miss the chance to get a picture together in case I have the baby before she gets back. Sharalee comes back and my mom gets here on July 29! So I am really kind of hoping that Maycie will wait until then to come. I think that the chances of that are good considering Emery was 8 days late and so far with 9 days left I have not made any progress. We will see!!

So Fresh!!

Emery and I stopped by a local produce stand today on our way home from the pool to pick up some fresh produce for dinner tonight and tomorrow. Emery is such a lover of fruits and vegetables!! While we were there she helped me pick out cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, and peaches! Yum! As soon as we got in the car she was begging me to eat the green beans, and could not understand why we would need to cook them first.

Well, sure enough, we had been home for about an hour and Emery was being a bit too quiet so I went to find out what she was doing and she had helped herself to a HUGE tomato (she just ate the whole thing like an apple) and was about to take a bite of the cucumber!! She just could not help herself. She really loves garden fresh veggies!! We cannot wait until our garden is ready to pick and eat!! We already have lettuce and a few of our tomatoes are starting to turn red. Yahoo!!

Not So Bad This Time!!

I am getting very excited and anxious to have this baby!! I only have a few weeks left and I am very uncomfortable and don't sleep well. All along this time I have been saying "at least I'm not swollen like I was last time". Well I couldn't really remember just how swollen I was when I was pregnant with Emery so I started looking through all of my pics and I did find a picture of my feet. I had forgotten just how bad it was!! This is a picture of my feet when I was 33 weeks pregnant with Emery. Just imagine what they looked like 8 weeks later when I finally had her.

Needless to say, I can't complain too much because I have not even swelled at all this time!! I am just happy I don't look like this!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP!!
