First Three Weeks in Review

I know everyone wants more pictures...so here are a few from the first three weeks. It's amazing how the days have flown by. (The nights not so much.) It's hard to believe my baby is already three weeks old.

Meeting Taylor Elise!

Welcome Taylor Elise Synnott

Taylor arrived on Saturday, January 9th at 1:42pm. She was 8 pounds 5 ounces and 20 3/4 inches long. She arrived exactly on her due date (I think that's a sign that she is organized) and decided to do a somersault during labor so she was born via Cesarean. We are absolutely in love with her! We made it home from the hospital on Tuesday and everyone is doing well.

Day 2 - All dressed up

Going home - wearing mom's take home outfit (it's 31 years old)

Happy birthday, Daddy! (I think I look just like him)

35 Weeks Belly Shot

We are now in the home stretch...just one more month to go. Can you believe how big I'm getting? It's time to wash the baby clothes and pack hospital bags in case she decides she wants to come at Christmas.

The Nursery Is Open for Business

I'm so excited to share pictures of the nursery as it's been my special project for the last few months. I hope Baby S. likes her new room...Chloe certainly loves the room as she's discovered it's filled with lots of new toys. We're planning to add letters above the crib...just not until the big secret is out. Just a little over six weeks to go to the due date. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Houston Shower

Last weekend "the Girls" (Alicia, Annie, Katie, Karen and Holly) threw me a beautiful baby shower at Katie's house. It was so much fun to see everyone and celebrate with friends and family. Baby S. got so many nice things and we've been having so much fun organizing her closet. Did I mention how good the food was too? And how gorgeous Katie's house was? It's hard to believe we've got less than two months until we meet our baby girl!

Picture with the Hostesses (Alicia, Karen, me, Katie, Holly and Annie).

Thank you again for making this a very special day!

Time to open gifts!

Making Room for Baby...

Our built-ins are done!!! And after spending a week relocating the office to our new built-ins, we have officially made room for Baby S! We are so happy with the result. Below are pictures of our new project.

And to answer the question..."Is the nursery done yet?"...The baby furniture arrived today..however we are still waiting on the bedding, drapes, etc. so I don't want to post pictures until it really starts coming together.

Tulsa Shower

What a beautiful shower we had in Tulsa hosted by Cassidy, Aunt Patti and Vicki! It was so much fun. The decorated diapers were adorable. And Baby S is going to be decked out in her new stuff.
















For Cassidy's bachelorette party we hung panties, so it was so funny that she used the same game on me but with diapers. It was hard to guess who decorated each diaper!

Grandmothers-to-be!

And great grandmother-to-be!

Sisters! The story behind the diaper design is long and painful. In case you can't see what it is, it's a picture of The Incline in Colorado Springs. :(

Isn't this ice ring adorable?!? I'm filing this idea away for future parties.

Yummy and pretty!
