Ashlee is here!

Ashlee was born seventeen days ago. They induced me a week early because of high blood pressure. After two hours of pushing and the help of forceps, Ashlee was finally in our arms. Here is a picture of her pretty soon after delivery.
A picture of me holding her. I guess I don't look that bad considering.
This picture is after she was taken later after she was cleaned and examined at the nursery.
This was right before we took her home from the hospital.
At home the next day. She loves her hands!
This is the most recent picture taken last weekend when she finally was awake long enough to get a picture with her eyes open.

37 Weeks

This picture was taken last week. I was 37 weeks with 3 weeks to go. Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks with only 2 weeks to go!



These are some older pictures of me during my pregnancy:


The above was taken in June.


And this was in May.


This was taken in April.

Nursery



We recently finished decorating the nursery. We decided on a purple and pink butterfly theme. It's quite girly and a bit eclectic, but we really like it.


This view is looking into the room from the hallway. All of the furniture is used. We got the crib from Scott's brother Aaron. We got both the glider and the changing table from KSL. The little table in the corner with the lamp on it used to be our entertainment center in our living room until we upgraded. I actually made the curtains myself. It is hard to see because of the sunlight, but they are a solid lilac/lavender color. We put the quilt that came with the bedding set on the wall behind the crib.


The quilt draping on the front of the crib was made by Grandma Lloyd (Scott's mom). The solid purple parts and edging is made from minky, which is very soft. Though the crib is set up and ready, baby Ashlee will be sleeping in a bassinet (which we got for only $20!) in our bedroom for a little while.


Ashlee's name and the butterflies on the wall are made out of wood that we painted. This was an inexpensive alternative since we rent and cannot paint or put up wallpaper.


This changing table was only $50 on KSL. What a steal! At Baby's R Us we saw the same one for over $200. The umbrella hanging in the corner we have had for a while and thought it might look cute in this room.The flower hooks on the wall are made out of wood and we painted them. I think this wall still looks a bit empty. I might put up a shelf or a cute picture when I find it. If I do I will be sure to update this picture.

The first entry

So I have been told I need to have a blog by several friends. I am not very good at these things but I figured I would give it a try. Any ideas or requests for future entries are very welcome! More to come.
