Sunday and Monday

Amelia is just amazing.  We are thoroughly enjoying our baby girl...here are some shots from yesterday and today.  

Honey found Amelia some headbands...so we had to try one on!

Aunt Nat made it to Lafayette to see us!

Grams made it too!

Aunt Gaylen and Uncle Jeff on Sunday also

Daddy couldn't wait to get home to his girl today.

In such a fun mood after her Daddy loved on her.

So sweet!

Miss Amelia Mae

On our way home.  Daddy drove extra careful...he was concentrating so hard he missed the turn and we had to take the scenic route.

Her first bath.  She was a trooper...not a happy one, but she made it through.

Daddy and Amelia waiting for the discharge papers. 

Mommy and Amelia after her bath.  She smells so sweet!

Daddy caught a super cute yawn!  Looks like she is winking at him.

We tried our Boppy out.  We are a little too skinny for it still, but she still looked so stinking cute!

Sitting pretty for Daddy

Waiting to solve the world's problems...she looks like she means business!

So this is my first post as a mommy and I have to say that there are no words to describe this whole experience.  We have been blessed with such a sweet and beautiful little girl...how did we get so lucky!  Anyhow, we have been enjoying her thoroughly from every face and sound she makes to her presence as part of our family.  So here are some pictures from her coming home and her being home.  They are a little out of order but she is still just as cute!

Amelia Is HERE!!!

Amelia decided to take her time with the labor process but came extremely fast and easy for the delivery.  Here are some pictures from the day.

Amelia Is Coming

So we are at the hospital!! We got here at 12:30 and now awaiting her arrival. Jenny is finally getting some rest and we should expect her sometime after 6:00am. Cant wait!!!!

Saturday's Big Event

So we are trying to prepare as much as possible so there is nothing to do later.  Daddy's trying to stay on top of his studying and homework and Mommy is trying to make sure all her papers are graded and recorded.  So we took a break from the routine and installed the one item we need to be able to bring our little girl home.  This was interesting to watch so i had to get some pictures.  Now we just need to go to the Fire Department to see if he put it in correctly.

Amelia's Room Finished!!!

After months of contemplation Amelia's room is finally finished.  It was a work in progress but turned out just as we had envisioned.  Now all we need is our little one to complete it.

Mardi Gras 2011

After last year's bust in Lafayette, it was good to come home for Mardi Gras.  In our entire lives, it was both Andrew and I's first time missing (last year)...and it caused quite the heartache.  Needless to say, we were both very anxious to get back to New Orleans.  Despite some unexpected weather and very swollen feet, we had a great time hanging out with friends and family.  This was our last trip home before Amelia arrives so it was very surreal knowing that the next time we go home she will be with us...in a car seat instead of my belly!!
As far as the little madame goes, our last appointment was March 3rd.  At that point she was an estimated 5 pounds and still in the breech position, from what Dr. P could tell.  We have our next appointment this Tuesday so hopefully I will have more news!  Other than that...enjoy some shots of our Mardi Gras!

Excited to be home for Mardi Gras

Honey and Grams enjoying the view from the ladders

A picture Andrew took...I'm impressed with our camera, he's impressed with the photographer.

FREEZING at 8 AM...waiting patiently for the day to start.
