Going Private!

I think I am going to go private on this blog. If you want to keep reading it, post your email in the comments or send me an email at meriannellett@gmail.com.

One Week Old

I can't believe that Grace is already one week old. Time is going by way too quickly. She is such a good baby! I am so lucky that she chose me to be her mommy! Love you Baby Girl!

and Growing...

I can't believe how fast she grows and how much she changes everyday!I love Milk!!!

Welcome Baby Grace

Baby Grace has finally joined us! She was born on September 13, 2009 at 11:34 PM. She was 8 lbs 15 oz and 21.5 inches long. She is beautiful and doing great. No wonder those kicks were killing my ribs, she is a strong little lady. Mommy and Daddy are so proud!

Still Waiting!

After trying everything I have ever heard can make you go into labor, I sit here after having contractions every five minutes for 48 hours (but not horrible painful ones, I can handle them) after being told, they don't want to use Petocin until I am 39 weeks (which is Monday) we tried one final act. Maybe if we had a Birthday Party for Grace with Cake, maybe she would realize it is supposed to be her birthday and come out. So we put candles on cupcakes, sang to her and ate cake-still nothing! I guess we will just keep waiting.Grace has also received lots and lots of hugs from her cousin Miles, who just loves the "baby". I think these two will have a pretty special relationship.

She has a mind of her own

I am doing everything that I possibly can to get Grace to decide that she really does want to come into this world and meet her Mommy and Daddy. I talk to her, and tell her it is a good idea. I go on lots and lots of long walks. I eat plenty of Pineapple to the point, I don't really like it anymore. Just last night Art and I got this pizza called the preganancy pizza from Cafe Trio that is supposed to put you into labor-so far nothing but lots of heartburn, I probably smell like garlic (don't care if I have that again), and I forced myself to eat fungus, just because it was a part of the process.
I drink lots and lots of water, and even practice my visualization exercises (which I have to say I am a big fan of and think in many situations they work) but with Grace, she would just rather hang out. I do want her to be healthy and get big and strong, but come on lady-I just want to kiss you and squeeze your cute cheeks. (maybe that is why she is hanging in there-hmmm better re-visualize that differently). After all of these things, I have come to the conclusion she is still going to come whenever she wants to come-so I guess I should just be patient-but it is so hard!

Amber's Wedding

What a beautiful day! We had so much fun and she looked absolutely stunning. I am so glad that I was able to make it down there for it. Thanks Art and Baby Grace! Welcome to the family Kyle!

Tick Tock....

It is so hard to just sit and wait for this little lady to decide to make her arrival. I just can't wait for her to get here. I am scared of the whole process and being a mom. The thought that I am responsible for her from here on out scares me, and I want so much to do a good job. But I just can't wait to get started at the same time. I just wanted to give her a big squeeze and a kiss.... so anyday Grace!
