Olly & Nursery

Many have asked how Olly, our baby boy, now 1 year and 4 months old, has been with our new addition...well these pictures speak for themselves!!! The first photos are the first day we brought Miss Lainey home....we had been told at one of our baby classes on introduction of baby and dog...to take a blanket to the hosp. and keep it with you and baby during the hosp. stay...once home let the dog sniff the blanket first before introduction of baby! so of course we did this and mommy had Olly's blanket with her in her bed during our hosp. stay! The day we came home mommy & daddy immediately walked outside to find Olly excited to see us after 3 nights of being gone (gma and gpa were there with him every night though, and the spoiled one slept with gma in our bed every night as usual ;) ) we let him sniff the blanket and from that moment he has been so mellow...did not jump up and down and go wild...and has been such a GOOD brother~~we could not have asked any more of him!!!
* Olly still is in our bed with us as usual, and has not been a problem at all
* I fig. well he will get up with me every time i'm up with her, feeding etc...well NO!! he sleeps the whole time through, like daddy somtimes! haha....
* He likes to give her kisses once in a while...;)
* He was very curious the first day we brought her home, followed us everywhere and had to be where she was!

Olly loves his little sister!!

Here are some pictures of her cute nursery!! I love it and she does too ;) Fits her perfectly! We were able to use Graham's mothers/brothers dresser and refinish it, shown in pictures, MeMe also bought the mirror shown here where daddy and gma are painting it to match her room....the saying on her wall above her crib is just perfect...the cute wall name letters & Blessed Blocks were made by Kayla McBride! Thanks for your time and talent, they are perfect!!

Enjoy!

Precious Moments!

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

I need not say much on this blog-pictures tell a thousand words!
We love you soooooo...much Lainey Ray!

Ready or not !!

So...as the saying goes..Ready or Not Here I Come!!!....This is the most fitting slogan for what happened to Graham and I...and our family 2 weeks ago today!! Ahh...so we joke around now that if you want to go into labor go eat at Master Grill in Frisco the night before! God was working his ways here....Mommy had gotten sick with a bad sinus infection on top of being 35 weeks prego and felt horrible monday the 7th of March....since she is spoiled and everyone needs their own mommy at times like this, my parents left Oklahoma to head here and take care of me...little did we know this was perfect timing to be with mommy! So a few days went by and thur. night daddy, mommy, gma and gpa decided to go have a nice dinner at MasterGrill...thur. at work I noticed I felt more uncomfortable and you felt VERY LOW!! but thinking nothing of it, hey you are due APril 11th!...we had a dr. appt the next morning (fri. the 11th) "thank god" and I told the dr. I noticed some slt changes...we did a test and the dr. piped up and said "this is your water that has broken, you will be sent to the hosp. TODAY to be induced!"....Umm...Ok, we have nothing with us etc. etc...but Graham was very good, I was shocked as we both were...we walked out into the waiting room where gma and gpa were waiting....Mommy well she started CRYING! and said we are having to go to the hosp. we are having our baby today!....Thank God my parents were there during this time...we four loaded up and immediately went to the hosp.! 10:30 am arrived, pitossin started at 11:30 am, water broke more at 5 pm..major contractions started then and at 12:17 am on March 12th we were blessed with a beautiful little bundle of joy!

Lainey Ray Bloodworth- 6 lbs 10 oz. 19 in.
Born at 35 weeks she was ready to meet her family and thankful how it all worked out! Mommy knew going into labor she wanted to try natural birth, the thought of epidural and c-sec. did not appeal to me and mommy toughed it out and went all Natural, yes def. bragging about this because it was EXTREME but sooo...worth it in the end, mommy felt good and the best part about it mommy could EAT right after delivery!!! ;) I had not ate anything that whole day besides a granola bar at like 9 am and if you know me I NEED my foooooddd!!!! So Thankful for my husband, mom and sister, Dandy for being my labor coaches and helping me through the tough labor pains, we did it and look what we have now!!!




I went from being 35 weeks & 4 days prego to........lying in my bed awaiting your arrival!



Our precious just born.



Sleeping peacfully with your gorgeous pink bonnet from the hosp.!



Aunt Dandy & Mommy love staring at you!!!



We are thankful for a healthy baby girl, My parents are here still helping..yes, I could not have done this without them and my sisters help at first!! I could have them here all the time...;) Thanks for all the congrats and comments!! Will post more blogs of lots of pictures, her baby shower, nursery etc!! Free time is far and in between but hoping to get more up soon!!!

Precious Face, Our Baby Girl!

Proud to show off our little blessing Miss Lainey Ray!!

Today mommy went and got her 3D/4D sono..just in the nick of time! @ 32 weeks & 4 days...this is pretty much the cut off due to baby getting big and hard to capture photos! But we did it and she was very cooperative!!

We tried this last week when your Grammy, Pappy, Aunt D and Daddy were there to see you, but the technology was down & everyone missed out today besides mommy!!

But we have plenty of photos and video to view of you!!!

Very excited to see our baby girl in about 7 weeks!! Maybe sooner if you would like that to happen ;) Grammy says she thinks somtime end of March but only time will tell!

~A few characterics that Mommy sees in you....can't wait till you are here so we can see for sure! But until then this is what Mommy thinks ;)....of our bundle of cuteness!~

1. Think you may have Daddy's NOSE!

. The sono. tech immediately said "wow. pretty lips!" yes, I can def. tell they are full and pouty, thinking you may get your way toooo many times with those things!!...Mommy's lips!....PS. I told your dad today that I think you had my lips and daddy piped up and said well I have full lips too ;) yes, Daddy wants you to be just like him! *happy tear*

3. The tech. says your face is very filled out and Daddy has had no doubt that you will have Chubby cheeks just like Mommy..

4. My most favorite feature that I was looking forward to seeing if you had was Mommy & Daddy's DIMPLE in your chin....and YES....after looking at you...there it is!! Yea!! Now Mommy, Daddy, Aunt D, Poppy (Gpa Sleeth), & Meme (Gma Bloodworth) all have the same chin ...<3!!

5. We see that you also have a big foot...Let's just claim Mommy on that one!

This is what love is.......


Can't wait to get ahold of you!

Your Due Date: April 11, 2011 is just around the corner!

Mommy is very ready!! I feel you getting very big and hanging out very low in mommy!

The sono. tech says your head is down and ready to go!!

Your big feet are moving all around right under mommy's ribs....the pitter patter of your feet and movement of your body daily are incredible to mommy!

You had your 1st Hiccups about a week ago and yes, mommy thought you did not like the way she was laying in bed only to find out...Hey! She has the hiccups!

Your adorable little nursery, your very own room, is 95% complete!! Mommy is in LOVE with it and know you will fit right into it!! I find myself peeping in every so often to look at it and your big brother Olly, well he LUVS sissy's shaggy rug!! When we are in your room, he is right there on your rug sucking his favorite "bankie"...You and him are going to fight over all blankets in the house, I just know it!!!!

Grammy and Aunt D are helping out mommy so much during the last weeks! Grammy visits and gets tons of your clothes washed, bed linens washed and so forth! Thanks Grammy!

Well we are looking forward to our shower this next weekend! Lots of your friends & family will be gathering together to celebrate you !! Mommy cannot wait to see the turn out and see everyone!!

We are ready for you...just a little longer Miss L!

love. Mommy.

and all the fixins'

Speaking of the Potato Salad...it was the most popular dish of the night! As many asked how I made it....well easy, thanks to my sister-in-law Linda!

Dice potatoes in cubes-boil

add Mayo, Package of Ranch Dressing Mix, Pickles

Mix and Serve!

Yes, that simple....also you can add bell peppers, onions etc....due to mommas indigestion I made it simple and just added the pickles!

So all you ranch lovers out there this is a yummy simple recipe!!!!

What a fun way to be with our friends, Thanks for coming out and helping stock up on Miss L's diapers & wipes!!!!

Pics of her room will come soon along with her 3d/4d sono pictures we take this friday!!

I am soooo excited for this! We have not seen her since week 18!!!

Days go by...

It's here...tomorrow we are 7 months!

12 weeks to go!

(27 weeks and 3 days)

Lainey is growing! as we can tell... and she sure feels like she is riding very low in mommy!

Update from last post:
We are gestational diabetes free!

Mommy & Daddy had one heck of a morning/afternoon one sat. and got us registered-that sure was a long 2 1/2 hours in Buy Buy Baby-needless to say mommy and daddy were WORN OUT after that!

We have registered for our several different classes at our hospital! The fun starts up on Feb. 2! One day after daddy turns 29! Late bday gift to him! haha....

Nursery: well it is def. coming along...got all our big furniture, now waiting on my wall decor to come in the mail! Love having friends who are good at crafty projects!

Our first baby fun will be around the first of Feb. when some work couples and close near by friends are coming over for Daddy's Diaper Party.....looking forward to having friends over for dinner and gathering!

I am shooting to have most of our nursery done by then because I know everyone will want to look at her room-so pictures will be posted in the near future ;)

12 weeks will fly by....Lainey is still kicking and moving around...just a little stronger now! I was told unless something was not going as planned as far as her growth etc...that my OB does not usually take anymore sonograms after the 18 week sono.....i was looking forward to seeing her more!! but happy we are healthy thus far and will see her one more time when we schedule our 3D/4D sono! Wont let that pass us up!

We go back to Dr. this coming Thursday for our 28 week visit and also start meeting Pediatricians this week! More updating to come........Have a GOOD week!
