Jules weekend...

Jules had a pretty productive weekend. Friday she went to her 1st wedding! She looked pretty in her pink dress. Now that she talks A LOT it was hard to have her in the church. Right when everyone got quiet and the bride was going to walk down the aisle Jules had the urge to got GaaaaaGaaaaaa EXTREMELY loud! So daddy had to take her outside the church. She said her first word this weekend! It was Dada!! Yup Daddy got his name first! Been trying to get her to say Mama for the past 2 months but she went with Dada instead! :) I've been trying to get video of her all weekend but she gets camera shy. So the below is the best I could get this weekend! Jules also started to wave Hi and Bye this weekend!! She's growing up so fast!! Still hasn't started crawling yet but she sure loves standing. I don't know if she will go straight to walking and skip the whole crawling thing. I guess we will see...

Jules is Back!!

So I decided since a lot of people have been asking how Jules is and things are a little bit easier since Jules has been born I'm going to start posting events in Jules life once a week! Jules is 7 months and 1 week and she's is definitely getting a PERSONALITY which her daddy says she gets it from me!! The following are Jules milestones to date:

1st Rollover June 26th
1st time eatting rice cereal July 4th
1st time sitting up on her own July 22nd
1st two teeth FINALLY breaking through Aug. 24th
1st time eatting in her high chair Sept. 4th



Jules getting ready for Football Season!! I think she should be wearing Colts but her daddy says otherwise!!



Jules first time eatting in her big girl chair!



Every morning Jules sits and watches her Baby You Can Read videos!

38 Weeks.....Almost Done!!

Today I'm 38 weeks and I'm ready to meet her! This was my first week off of work and it was nice and weird at the same time. Since Monday I've been feeling sick again and can barely eat anything without feeling like I'm going to vomit!! My friends that have had babies said they got that way right before they went into labor so I hope that's the case with me. Rob and I have been walking a lot hoping to get this little girl out of me!! I've been getting small contractions in my lower back and under my belly but nothing that has made a consistent pattern yet. I feel like a whale and its so hard to do anything without getting exhausted. My mind wants to go, go, go but my body wants something different. I do feel blessed to have this special time with my husband before everything changes!

Jules room is already for her to enjoy! We have been blessed with great friends and family that have given us so much. All her clothes have been washed and hung and we are just waiting for her!

So now its just a waiting game and I will keep everyone posted as soon as she is here!! I'm so nervous and excited. I just want to be the best mommy!! I know Rob will be the best daddy and Jules will have her wrapped around his finger the second they meet!! Stay tune!!

Maternity Pictures

We took our maternity pictures yesterday and it was so much fun!! Erin Cox is the photographer that took them and she was wonderful. I highly recommend her!! She has already posted some pictures of our shoot on her blog if you want to check them out.

She is going to be doing Jules newborn pics too and I can't wait to see how those will turn out b/c Erin is a great photographer!!

Baby Name

I wanted to share why we decided to name our baby girl Julia Carol.

Julia was my grandmas name who was like my second mom to me. She passed away about 3 years ago and we were extremely close! Before she passed I promised her that if I ever had a little girl I would name her after her. Love you Grandma!!

Carol was Robs grandmas middle name and she passed about 2 years ago from cancer. Rob was very close to her as well and we thought what a wonderful way to honor her.

So Julia Carol it is!! Our baby girl is named after two wonderful women that definitely made an impact on us!! We love you!

The Baby Room

This is the "before" picture that was once our spare bedroom. The baby room was Rob's vision. He chose the paint colors and the only thing missing is our rocking chair. We bought a (local) old fashion handmade one that we are picking up tomorrow. When he finished the room we were standing there just taking it all in and he said "This room is made for a lot of tea parties" I just smiled!!






This is a picture of Jules baby crib and changing table that her papa (aka grandpa Carlos) bought for her. The picture above her crib is of an angel that we found and thought above her bed was a perfect place to hang it- to watch over her!




This is a picture of our twin bed in her room for mommy and daddy to sleep in when we are up for many night feedings!! The lavendar blanket on the bed her Nan (aka grandma Patsy) made. This is also a place for our friends and family to stay when visiting!! The pictures that are above the bed I found them on Art.com and fell in love with them.



This is a picture of her name on the wall and again her changing table that we are going to be changing A LOT of stinky diapers on!!



This picture of her first pair of Uggs just like mommy! My dear and wonderful friend Jenn bought them for her!! Sooo cute!

Our Baby Shower

Our baby shower was so much fun! It was wonderful to have everyone we love all in one place. We had such a good time and I think the guys enjoyed the Seahawks game! We had soooo much food b/c my mom always thinks we won't have enough. We got a lot of cute gifts and are very grateful for everyone coming and supporting us.



I love my husband so much! He's just an all around amazing person!



Love this family picture of our best friend Emma and her baby boy Jaeden. We have already arranged the marriage between her boy and our baby girl!!
