New Blog

Hey everyone! I've decided to start a new blog to let everyone know what's going on with our little family. (What's in my belly isn't too appropriate anymore, unless y'all want to hear about my lunch!)

Newborn Photo Shoot

Hi everyone. I wanted to let everyone know that Farley had her newborn photo shoot last Friday. Sarah, the same great photographer who did our maternity pictures, came to the house to get some of Farley. Well, wouldn't you know it... she had her fussiest day of life yet! It became comical after a couple of hours of trying to get her to stop screaming, but she wasn't having it, especially those cute naked baby pictures I wanted! This baby does not like to be uncovered! Anyway, when Sarah left, I told her if she managed to get one decent non-screaming picture, that she was the most talented photographer in history! Well, she posted some previews to her blog today and I couldn't believe it! She managed to catch Farley in some sweet moments. The funniest thing is-- even when Farley's not a happy camper, we still think she's the most beautiful and sweetest baby ever!

You can go to Sarah's blog: www.clickphotodesigns.com and click on her blog link to see them. If you would like to leave a comment, do! If we get 30 comments, we'll get a free 8x10!

More Pictures of Sweet Farley

Here's some pictures of our sweet girl. She's changed so much already! Jason and I enjoy her so much and can't believe how in love we are with our little angel!

Farley Grace's Big Arrival

Well, I've been reminded what a terrible job I've done keeping up the blog. Forget blogging about my Tea, showers, the nursery... I totally dropped the ball. But, none of that matters now, as Miss Farley Grace Rother made her appearance one week ago. Last Friday, we were very surprised when she decided to make her big debut early. But, wow, it has been the most awesome week of my life, for sure! I've thought that a baby coming into this world is a miracle, but when they put her into my arms, I knew that I believed in them for sure. The thought of it still takes my breath away.

So, here are some photos of our little miracle...

Photos...

I know I haven't blogged in a while, so I just wanted to drop a note really quickly (and I mean quick- I'm at work!) about our Maternity Photos we had done last weekend. Our photographer, Sarah, was completely awesome and we had a lot of fun. It's really nice to have some pictures of Farley in the belly that actually look decent-- not like I'm a beached whale. It's that photographer magic...they can make you look lots better than you really do! We don't have the whole gallery yet, but she put a little preview of them up on her website.

For some reason, I can't get the link to post, so you can just go to:

More Nursery Progress

Yep, we're also coming along in leaps and bounds on the nursery front. After Jason finished the painting (and then was out of town for a whole week), he got to come back and put all the furniture together! I helped, sort of. I mean, Ikea, we love you, but putting together a whole room's worth of furniture took every bit of a whole day... I mean, until midnight! Then, we got her rug in this week and Dad just brought over the bookcase that had to be painted white to match the rest of the furniture we bought. It's really coming together and I'm getting excited. Now, granted the bedding is sitting in the crib, still in original packaging, and we still need a glider, window treatments, and to do all the wall decorations, and to change out the light fixture... but, that's just the fluff. All the hard stuff is pretty much done. I love it so far- I can't believe what a change from the dark red bedroom it was just a month ago! It's so light and airy and just what I wanted.

Her wardrobe and crib (I just now got the special detergent to wash all the bedding, so I just need to get to it!


Her rug... I love it! (even though Dad says it's a safety hazard... he said he wants to know how far I think I can throw the baby when I trip on it!)


Dresser (that will also be the changing table) and the bookcase.
