Halloween

On Friday Paul's Squadron opened up to the families so that the kids could come trick or treat. I dressed Sydney up in a little ghost outfit to show her off to the guys and to take them their candy to hand out. Paul and I walked around the different shops trick or treating with her. It was so fun, we took no candy and she slept through the entire thing, but it was fun to do it with her and to see the cute kids. These are the few guys who were in the shop when we were ready to leave. They are a bunch of characters.

First Sunday

So today was Sydney's first day at church. She did very well and I only spent Sunday school nursing and changing her.

I just had to get some pictures of her. The dress that she is wearing is one that my grandmother crocheted for me when I was a baby. My mom preserved it very well and now I have the luxury of letting my little girl wear the same dress I wore.

Early morning casuality

Well Paul had the morning shift last night and unfortunately for him Sydney had a major blow out. So to my surprise this morning while I was feeding and holding her I was looking at her new outfit and was thinking something didn't look right. This is originally what I saw.

So when I went to go change her diaper I found that Paul had left her socks on with her outfit that had footies, and then the onesise that he had pick wasn't a plain white one. It was one I would put her in to wear for the day. And to make it even funnier, he put it on backwards and only buttoned two of the three buttons. I just died laughing when I finally figured out what was going on. I just couldn't resist the pictures. I thought it was cute that his first time dressing her and this is what we got. But in his defense he says it was dark and he wouldn't turn a light on. I guess we need to practice the daddy dressing Sydney part of life.

Halloween Fun

Friday night a couple of guys from the squadron decided they wanted to carve pumpkins and since we have the new baby in the group our house was the host house. It was so much fun. Sydney and I enjoyed the day dressing her up in her different Halloween outfits and making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. It felt so good to be able to accomplish a task such as making cookies. After work the guys and spouse came over and the pumpkin carving began. So here are the end results.

This is her "Trick or Treat" outfit when we were making cookies. Thankfully she slept through most of the baking so I could get it done.Outfit number two, her ghost onesise. This outfit and the one above are courtesy of her Uncle Curtis; he felt bad for making mommy cry one night and went and bought Sydney a bunch of outfits and other stuff.My little pumpkin!!!The beginning of carving pumpkins: Brett, Brandon, and Cubby are all creating there masterpieces. And below is the final masterpieces!!

Story Time

So I couldn't resist. As you all know Paul has his own way of doing things. Half the time I just let him do it. Today he got home from work and it was just Sydney and Myself. My parents who are currently in town went to dinner and a movie to give Paul and I some alone time before he left for Key West for two weeks.

I looked over and this is what I saw. Paul had grabbed one of his books " The Red Badge of Courage", and had begun reading it aloud to Sydney. Lucky for him she was in her cute alert mood and was sitting there very contently drifting in and out of sleep. I couldn't resist the picuters and at four days old I just laugh and thinking they are both in heaven. Paul reading to his little princess and dancing to music with her and she hanging out with daddy. It can't get more precious than that.

Welcome Sydney Nelson

We are proud to announce the birth of our beautiful little girl. Sydney Nelson was born September 29, 2008 at 12:49 am. She weighed 8 lbs 15 oz and is 20 inches long.
She has been an amazing baby so far and we love having her hear. After crazy drama with the hosptial and being sent home so many time when the time finally came for her to enter into this world, everything went fast and painful till the famous and wonder drug called an epidural.
While this is a great experience I am not ready to go through any of that again. But I can't help but find myself sitting staring at her thinking how beautiful she is and blessed I am.
These are just a few pictures and I will post more later. Enjoy them and we can't wait to have you all meet her.

7 Days Over Due

Okay the saga of the never ending pregnancy continues. Just to let you all know that today I have non-stress test and an amniotic fluid test done this morning. These test are done at 41 weeks to make sure that the baby is still getting enough nutrients and blood flow. Unfortunately for me Sydney woke up and began to be her usual active self, so they sent me home today again and would not induce me.

On the bright side I guess, I have an induction date scheduled for September 30th (tuesday) at 6:00 am. That is all contingent upon the fact that I don't go into labor on my own over the weekend, which everyone is crossing there fingers that I do.

Lets hope we still have a September baby on our hands!!
