3 Years Today

Dave and I have been married for 3 years today. It has been the happiest 3 years of my life and I love him so much! He is an amazing husband and a wonderful father. I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. Happy anniversary Dave! I love your guts!

And now, what I know you have all been waiting for, more pictures of our amazing daughter Maya.

Dave has been very busy with school and work but he makes time to snuggle with his little girl. She loves him so much and it's so cute to see her react to his voice whenever he talks to her.

Milk coma

This is from today. I love this outfit and the little bow. She looks so sweet.

The swelling in my feet finally went down enough that we were able to go for a short walk today. Dave walked Sadie and I pushed Maya in the stroller to the mailboxes at our apartment complex. I can't wait to be fully recovered so that we can go on longer walks, but it was still nice to get out and walk, even though it was a short distance. (If you look closely in this picture you can see Maya's dimple on her right cheek. So adorable!)

Bekker Photography

If you haven't already, make sure to check out Bekker Photography. The photographer is our cousin Tara Bekker and she does an amazing job. We took Maya to her house yesterday to have some photos taken and although Maya wasn't really up for it we were still able to get some great shots.

My Sweet Girl - Day 6 Update

So far we have learned that Maya does not like to be naked and she really hates bath time, but she looks absolutely adorable in her bath robe!

While we were at the hospital our friend Josh was babysitting our dog Sadie for us. He brought her home on Saturday and we introduced her to Maya. Sadie has been great but just doesn't understand why we won't let her kiss the baby. I think she's just a little depressed and jealous but she is adjusting well.

We still have a steady flow of visitors. Here is Maya with Grandpa Cal.

My cousin Brandon stopped by with his daughter Brenna. We didn't have any toys but she loves books so Dave read 'Green Eggs and Ham' to her.

Pictures Galore

I promised a lot of people I would put up a ton of pictures of Maya so here are some more.

Introducing......

MAYA

Our little Maya Louise finally arrived on June 1 at 9:18pm. She weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long. She's absolutely incredible and we are crazy about her. Here are some long awaited pictures for everyone to see.

Here is Daddy Dave all prepped for our C-section. Maya decided to turn into a breech position sometime during the last week and we were unable to get her to turn head down despite trying a very painful procedure called an External Version.

A very uncomfortable me waiting to see whether we could get the baby to turn in time. My back started to have muscle spasms the last couple of days before birth and I was in constant pain.

Going for a walk at the hospital.

I will post more pictures later. I am WAY too tired to finish this blog tonight but I promised that I would get some pictures up so there you go.
