Autumn is in the air...

It finally feels like Autumn. This morning I woke up with Mazie and we sat in the rocking chair.

Their were storm clouds in the distance, I could also hear the thunder echoing through the valley.

The leaves on the tree's are turning and the air is cooler.

I am looking forward to the Fall time but not to snow, just not yet.

Hello!

Mazie wanted to pop in and say Hi!

We are so so so busy just loving each other.

I promise to post more photo's and the birth story soon.

In the meantime, we are just busy and having family visit from out of town.

Mazie is enjoying seeing her grandparents.

She can't wait to meet her cousin Evan in Cali and her new cousin Oliver who should be here in a few weeks!

Love,

Kristin

Mazie is Here!!!

Mazie Adeline Hawley was born on 9/19/2011 at 2:58 p.m.

She was 9.9 lbs and 20 1/2 inches long.

We are busy changing poopy diapers and breastfeeding.

W2e can't believe she's finally here.

We are so in love with her!

Yes, I am ready...oh so ready to go to the hospital and have little Mazie.

We are just waiting for her to surprise us!
But... I don't think she will be suprising us anytime soon.

We are praying that everything goes great!

Sleep Deprived due to Paranoia

Yes. I am still with child in my belly.

I haven't been sleeping very well for the past week, I am just constantly thinking and concentrating on the babies movements in my belly. I've been reading the baby books and they say after 40 weeks the babies movements really need to be watched because of how cramped the baby gets.

So that leads to me being paranoid. I am waking up at 2 or 3 in the morning and cannot go back to sleep until 5 or 6. It's no fun.

The good news is, if my water does not break by Monday the 19th I will be induced. I am 1st in line to be induced that day so hopefully we will have little Mazie the same day! Ekkk!

Love,

Kristin

Happy Birthday Loney!

Today is Loney's birthday. He is 3 years old (21) in dog years.

We decided to buy him a new bed for his birthday.

It's such a nice comfy pillow bed and he HATES it.

The reason why he hates it is because

1.... it's not in our room

2.... it's behind the couch, so he can't see us

3.... it's on the dreaded tile, which he despises. See this post!

It's funny to see him lay on the bed. He acts like he's in a life saving boat and the tile is the ocean.

It's pretty funny. We are trying to get him to get over his OCD issue with the tile.

Love,

Kristin

I am hoping...

This is the last weekly photo I take with little Mazie in my belly.

I am ready to take photo's of her sleeping, playing, crying and smiling.

But I have a feeling I will be posting a 41 week photo.

We will see.

Love,

Kristin

40 Weeks (Mazie, Where are you?)

This morning around 1 a.m. I woke up to some sharp "cramping" pains. It felt like I was getting my period. So I thought, "Yay, contractions". I kept track of them, but they were not consistent and then they just stopped around 2:30 a.m.

I had my last doctor appointment today. The big 40 week appointment. I was hoping for the doctor to say "Your in labor, go to the hospital"! But no. I am still dilated to 2 centimeters and that's it.

He told me to just wait to go into labor and if that does not happen. They will induce me on the 19th of September.

I can feel myself getting very impatient. I really want to meet this little one already.

The days feel like they are going so slow but yet fast.

Waiting....is my job right now. I know she will arrive when she is ready and I should not rush it.

But I can't help it.

I just want to see her little face and hold her little hands.

Love,

Kristin
