Checking out the paparazzi from the nursery

After a very busy couple of weeks, we are finally falling into the groove of things.  Thank you all for your prayers, visits, lunches/dinner, flowers, gifts, phone calls, texts, etc. We have had a couple of doctors visits (just check-ups), had a newborn photography session (we adore all of the pics), lots of visitors and a complete lack of sleep, HA!  I can't believe I only have 3 weeks and a few days left until I go back to work!  I am just thinking, "Only a few more months until the rest of my leave!"

We are loving being parents!  Don't get me wrong, the first couple of weeks are a huge adjustment (just things you don't think about and can't really prepare for) but seeing her sweet little face makes it all better.  Josh stayed home with me for a week before he started his new job then Mom took off last week to help me out.  This week, I've mostly been by myself, but I have sought help so I can occasionally take a nap, run errands or just take a walk and get some fresh air.  Being cooped up can be difficult, but having people around us that are helpful and supportive have made such a huge difference - thank you!  I will say this..someone told me this and it's the truth:  Being a mother is the hardest and BEST job in the world.  And I'm loving it!

Here are my two favorite pictures from AG's newborn session that she's shared - I'll post more once I get the disk:
Our sweet, sweet baby girl

I'm pretty sure this is my all-time favorite photo. Stunning.

June Baby!

Well, after a month of speculation on the big question: "Will AG be a May Flower or a June Bug?"...we have our answer!
Along with being a June baby, she will definitely be a Gemini (and zodiac twins with her uncle Hunter).  She also has 3 birthstones: pearl, moonstone and Alexandrite.

We can't wait to meet her!

39 weeks, 3 days!
