My Favorite Baby Product

Who knew that a 2 dollar strip of fabric from Walmart would be my favorite baby item. The is the best thing ever. I get to cuddle with my baby and still be productive. It been a lifesaver at work. And best of all Eeva loves it, and I'm pretty sure she looks forward to it all day. She takes her best naps in it.

AAAGGGHHH!!!! NOT YET!!!!!!!!

So, after Sunday dinner I was loading the dishwasher and Vernon was doing tummy time with Eeva and he yells out "She flipped herself over!". Of course I think he doesn't know what he is talking about she is only two weeks old. Well, I didn't get the first time on camera, but this was later that night. What??? So now it's part of her daily tummy time, time to do her flips. I don't want to mess with thi girl when she gets older. She obviously takes after her daddy.

My First Visitors

Thanks so much to my mom who took three weeks out of her busy life to come and stay with me until Vernon made it home and Eeva was born. She only got to spend three days after Eeva was born, but we are looking forward to her next visit in a few weeks and when Eeva gets to meet Papa. We are so excited.

Grandpa and Grandma Richmond came to the hospital to visit. They live really close, so Eeva will be extra spoiled with all the attention.

Uncle Jake came to visit my first night home, so he could take Grandma back to the airport. We can't wait for all the rest of her Uncles and Aunts to come and visit. Soon, really soon.

She's Here!!

Sorry I'm running a little slow on getting this posted, but anyone who has had a newborn knows that there are too many other precious moments you don't want to be missing. So after a lot of prayers and Eeva being patient, her daddy made it home for her grand entrance. He got home Saturday afternoon from Basic Training and they started to induce me at 9:00 Sunday morning. So after over cooking for a week she came out a whapping 8lbs and 1oz, which was a shock because I was told up to delivery that she would only weigh about 6 1/2lbs. Suprise, Suprise!! She is a perfect baby and is already getting good sleep at night which mom and dad appreciate.

Dad's Home

Vernon made it home!!! I'm so proud of Vernon for serving his country, but Eeva and I were sure glad he made it home for our important day. I couldn't have done it without him. Okay, I could have, but I'm sure glad I didn't have to. Thank you for all the prayers and fasting that it would all come together. Someone must have been listening upstairs.

Eeva's Nursery

So, it turned out pretty contempory, but I love it. I sit in my glider every night before bed and enjoy her little room. Thanks to my mom and sister who helped me make the curtian and make my changing table out of an old desk. And thanks to Uncle Zach who paid for most of the crib.

New Living Room

Sorry, to everyone else that has to see this but my mom and I keep going back and forth on the phone about what I'm doing to my house and she wants to see pictures so here they are... I refinished my table this weekend and I thought it turned out pretty good. I'll have the nursery done this week, so I'll get pictures up of that next week.
