Updated blog- finally!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it has almost been three months since I last updated the blog, which also means that Bethany is almost three months old!!! Time really does fly when you are having fun. She is such a sweet baby and we are loving being her parents. We are so thankful that God gave her to us. She has grown a lot and she is cooing and smiling more each day. Here are some recent pics.

She's Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bethany Michelle was born today, June 4th at 6:15 pm. She is a big girl- 10 lbs and 2 oz. She is absolutely perfect and I must say, the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, but I'm sure I'm biased. We laughed because every time we commented on her weight she cried. One nurse said she not chubby she's "LGE" (large). Thanks for all the prayers!

The Room!

We are almost done with the room! We got the dresser and bookshelf last week from a great store that my sweet friend, Libby, recommended. We are still waiting on the glider, but it should be here in about four more weeks. I can't believe the due date is exactly two months from today! She will be here soon! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been taking advantage of the fact that our lives are about to change forever by eating out several times this week. We enjoyed eating at Longhorn (yay for gift cards!!) last weekend, Tuscany, an Italian restaurant on Monday night, breakfast at IHOP yesterday morning and Canyons Burger tonight. Nothing like not having to cook on your Spring Break! We've also been told to sleep in as much as possible by many friends so we have been lazy this week too(like we really needed an excuse). We were somewhat productive most days. Cary worked on cleaning out the basement and I cleaned out our closet. I love Spring cleaning! Crazy, I know, but it just makes me feel good to organize and throw things out. I guess that's why Cary calls me Monica. :)

Baby Bedding

Here is a picture of the bedding we ordered. I can't wait until we have the room all put together!

Our sweet baby!

We finally got the ultrasound pictures in the mail on Saturday! It was a great Valentine's Day present. We are sooooo excited to be having a girl and so glad that God chose us to be her parents. I've already been shopping for some cute pink things. It is hard not to buy everything because it is all so cute!

Update

Sorry for not updating sooner. We did not get to go to the appointment last week as planned. There was a problem with Mandy not being covered by medicaid and the attorney recommended that she cancel the appointment, re-apply for medicaid and then reschedule the appointment. We were very sad to not be able to go, but also thankful that things are going well. We are waiting(not very patiently) to hear from the attorney about the appointment. I am DYING to go shopping and to order the cute bedding I found after Christmas. We will keep you posted. Here are a couple of pics from Christmas.
