365 - Done

Well I'm finally finished with my 365 project.  The most surprising thing about the whole thing is that I finished.  I did cheat a little and didn't take pictures some days and made up with it by taking more on others.  I finished though and that's all that matters.

In the end I'm super glad I did it because it was such a big year in our house.  No I didn't get a lot done around the house, but I did grow a human.  Go me!

Crafties for Carrie


Someone grew a beard overnight


Who says the bumbo is just for babies

Here comes Juniper Quinn

It's hard to believe but it's been a little over a month since Juniper made her appearance. She hasn't been the easiest baby by all means but there is no way I would trade her for anything.  She's cute and stubborn all built into one.

Here's a little photo essay of her arrival and the days that followed.

Here's my big ol' belly 10 days before she arrived

The view from my labor and delivery floor bed


Even though I was scheduled to have a c-section on the 27th I went into labor on the 24th and got to experience my water breaking, contractions, and then a c-section.  Fun.


 This picture must be after I got my epidural since I am not doubled over in pain


 
This is where they put the baby?  Looking at the clock Juniper will be born in less than 30 minutes.


He's got the haz-mat suit on


Almost time.  Look how happy I am to get cute open.


 All of the important info.  You want to make sure they don't sew you up with a needle or something left behind.


Here she comes!














She didn't care for her first bath


Luckiest mama ever!





Finley and her favorite past time watching t.v.


 Only hours old


Beautiful flowers from a beautiful friend
























She only wanted to sleep in my bed





A juniper for Juniper








They cleaned and decorated for our homecoming 








In my bed again


Sponge bath was a little more successful at home











With her Xmas loot


This is how we live out our days.  She is almost always attached to me or she will scream.





I just have to say that I am so happy to be the luckiest Mom in the world with 2 such beautiful girls.
