Adeline has arrived! She made her entrance on Wednesday evening and is such a blessing already. A day early, she took 13 hours to finally make her first appearance. It was definitely the hardest thing I've ever done, but the end result makes it all worth it. We left the hospital yesterday and have really been lovin' being home as a family. Here are a few shots from the past couple days...

Diapers

It's been a running joke in our small group from church for a long time now. A huge bag of tape less diapers was given as a white elephant gift. No one has wanted them...no one, that is, except for Alex. So with great excitement, Alex went over to collect the sack full of diapers. I can't say I was thrilled as I saw him struggle to get them out of the back seat. Over 450 total, these diapers are probably going to fit Adeline when she is about 6 months old. Now we just have to figure out what kind of tape to use.

Itty Bitty Hats

I've recently taken up knitting again. Right now I'm hooked on hats. This one will probably be worn by Adeline next year...unless she has a really large head =)

Mmmm Barriques...

Enjoying some nights out before our little girl arrives.

Month Eight

I know, I know...I should be enjoying my free nights with no baby crying and demanding my every moment. But for a gal who has never seen the other side, I am anxious to enter over to it.

I'm 35 weeks and counting down the weeks, days, and moments until Adeline's arrival. That's right, Alex and I have decided to name our lil daughter Adeline. Sometimes it seems like her arrival is so far away and other days it feels fast approaching.

We have pretty much everything ready for Adeline. Our classes are almost done, nursery complete, laundry clean, and the diapers are ready for their duty. While the material stuff is all ready to go, I wonder how ready Alex and I will be. As much as you read and learn, how can you truly prepare for a change like this? I often ponder what will be our struggles? Is it possible to prepare anymore? I am thankful for a best friend like Alex to begin this journey with and I eagerly await seeing him hold our daughter in his arms.

So for now we wait. We shall see if she is an early bird, right on time, or a late arrival. We'll keep you posted =)
