Two month pictures!!

Madeline is growing so fast!! We spend a lot of time playing and feeding and doing all the other things that are involved with having a newborn. So that is my excuse for not posting pictures sooner. Mike had a day off last week so we bought some pieces of fabric for a backdrop and camped out in Madeline's room for a big photo shoot. She complied for the most part but didn't give us much of her fantastic smile that she has. That she reserved for when the camera got put away! Enjoy!

6 Weeks

It's been 6 weeks since Madeline was born!! It has flown by. The last 6 weeks have been a blur with little sleep, many poopy diapers, a few poopy outfits, round the clock feedings, and many many little hugs and kisses. After feeling like we were barely keeping our heads above water, we are finally able to take a deep breath. It does get better!! Madeline is a good baby and so cute so that makes our job a lot easier!! She is now focusing on her toys and smiling at them which is adorable! One of the hardest parts these last 6 weeks has been getting her to sleep at night. She loves to sleep during the day and then wakes up and is wide awake as soon as we try to go to bed. I got the BabyWise book in the mail this week and have already seen small improvements in this during the day and at night. She slept 5 hours straight last night!!!! This makes me a very happy mommy. I haven't finished the book yet, but I'll let you know how it works! We have been taking a lot of pictures of Madeline and they are on our picasa page. If you are not able to access them let us know and we can add you to the list. There were some unauthorized viewers so Mike made it a private site. It is amazing to see how much she has grown even though it makes me a little sad she is growing so fast! We'll try to keep the pictures coming.

MADELINE MAY BAKER!!

Madeline May Baker, born at 7:29AM January 20, 2010. She weighed in at 7 lbs 2.3 oz, and was 19 3/4 inches long. We are truly blessed. Enjoy the pictures!

My Gorgeous Wife

She truly is beautiful. It's been amazing to see her handle this pregnancy with such grace and beauty. In only a matter of days it will all be over, and a whole new chapter will begin. What a journey. I love you with all my heart Cori, and I can't wait to meet our little girl.

3 Weeks To Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have not been faithful in keeping up with our blogging, but it has been a boring pregnancy!! This, I'm told, and agree to, is a good thing as everything so far has gone very smoothly. I have 3 weeks until my due date and am just now beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable. I consider myself very blessed to have had such a "boring" pregnancy. Hopefully I can stay well rested for the next stage when baby Baker decides to make her appearance. I know that both Mike and I will be taking lots and lots of pictures and I'm sure I'll have great stories to share so once again I'm saying that we will try our hardest to get on here more regularly! The baby's room is almost ready, clothes and blankets are being washed, and we are working on getting Tux ready for the big arrival. He knows that something is going on and has been a lot more clingy lately. We do have a cabbage patch doll that we put in the car seat for our trip home for Christmas and he didn't bother him too much. I know it will be different with a live baby, but I think that it's helping. Let us know if you have any other tricks for getting him ready for the baby and we'll try them.

Here's Some Pictures!!!!!!!

Ultrasound Pictures

Ok, our ultrasound was three weeks ago, and we failed to post any of the pictures from it yet. Sorry! Here's a couple of the good pictures of our little girl, one of her little feet and one of her sucking her thumb. Isn't she cute?!?! Cori is doing well and has been feeling the baby kick for the past couple weeks. Her belly's also beginning to "pop" as you can see in the pictures from the beach. It's all becoming much more real. Our little girl will be here before we know it!

Pictures!

Here's some pictures from Jody's visit to our house and from our trip to visit Jill and Ryan in Michigan.

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!!!!!

We had our ultrasound on Monday and everything looks great. We found out that both Mike and I and 50% of the people who voted were right. It's going to be a girl!! She was very active during the ultrasound and we got to watch her doing somersaults and flips!!! I can't feel her yet, but when I do, I have a feeling she may keep me up at night with all her wiggling! It was so fun to see all of her bones and fingers and toes and yes we did try to count them and they were all there! She weighs 10 ounces and is growing by the day! The only problem with the ultrasound was that it was too short. I could watch her forever! We'll try to keep you posted and may post some pictures as my belly is starting to expand. I even broke down and wore a pair of maternity jeans today! Very comfy. Now we're off to go dream of dolls and pink things!
