Baby Bee 2nd and 3rd day alive

I'm back!!! Here are more pictures of Bee! I will be sharing my detailed story when I get a little more sleep, until then enjoy the pictures! What I will say is...God is good! He gave me the strength and brought relief just when I needed it.

Bee has Cory's feet! Her baby skin was so wrinkly and dry but it is almost 100% now! Bee did not enjoy me taking off her bandaids. The bandaids were put on because of the needle pricks she had to get from the doctors.

Flowers from my Dad and Jill. Bee's love flowers!!!Speaking of bees...How do you like our little Bee?

Bee already loves her daddy!

Just arrived at home! Bee was a sweet angel all the way home in her first car ride.
I am going to go feed my baby now and then try to catch an hour of sleep!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.... BEE BRUCE!

Annie delivered BEE BRUCE to this world at 1:15 pm (EST) October 13, 2008

Weighing 7 lbs 11 oz And with a length of 20in. It was an INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT LABOR and ANNIE was AMAZING!
But there will be later blogs that tell of this HARROWING BIRTHING ADVENTURE... This post is purely the celebration of a CUTE LITTLE MIRACLE. (Whom the doctor said was born "PAST DUE" and that is why her skin seems sunburned and in some places, peeling. But they assure us this will disappear within a few days. STILL...SHE'S PERFECT.)

I am in Labor

I am in Labor!!!!!!
I am going to go to the hospital now! Pray for a speedy delivery!

Waiting for Bee!

Bee is still in the womb, but I think that she will be here very soon! Cory and I are very excited! It is hard waiting knowing she could be here any day. As I type I am having a non-painful practice contraction (aka: Braxton Hicks). If I am up to it I will blog again when I am in actual labor! I plan laboring at home as long as I can!!!

39 and counting

Bee is due on the 12th, but when will she arrive? If you have any guesses, speak now, or forever hold your predictions!!! I think she will bee here on the 12th because she is a good little girl who does what she is asked!!! I found out that my dad was a preemie weighing in below 6lbs and Cory's dad was late weighing in at over 10lbs! I'll take the average of those two!

Can you find Cory in this picture?

I am one plump plum!

Girl Friends

Clem suprised me last night with a present. A pre-natal massage at a really nice spa in Park Slope. It was a great experience! Thank you Clem!Bryna and her husband Olgierd came and hung out for a while yesterday afternoon. Cory got some belly shots of us!

We are two determined pregnant ladies!

The Bee Hive

Baby Bee's Nursery is ready and waiting for her arrival!!! I am due on the 12th, but only God knows when she will be here! I have started the Braxton Hicks contractions! So, I am resting a lot but also trying to be productive as I wait to meet her! Grandma Marlene made Bee a custom made crib skirt and sheet set. Thank You Grandma-to-Bee!!! They are so cute! They match perfectly in her room!
I made Bee wall art and a mobile.
The mobile is made with an vintage dishcloth, felt, yarn, cardboard. cardstock and glue! The mobile is also connected to a motor that turns it and plays a Paul Simon tune!
High contrast is what babies love!

I enjoy making things out of felt! I will soon be spending a lot of time in the rocking chair! Bee has a cool unique changing mat (Cooshee Changer). Another view!

Baby Bee's dressers full of clothes!
