13 days...

(sigh) The entire pregnancy time moved so sloooowly and now it goes by far too fast! I just wish I could press pause. I love having a newborn!

BGD

Ok, enough procrastinating. Here are some pics! She Who Cannot Be Named was born June 15, 2009 at 10:29am. I was scheduled to be induced since she was 5 days overdue. They broke my water to hopefully put me into labor. She was born just a couple hours later.
I'll warn you now that the pics are way out of order.

Ecstatic parents!...

I can't decide which one's cuter...

She weighed in at about 6 ounces more than big sis.We are loving the full head of hair! (while it lasts...)

Rob's first lesson dressing a newborn... He's decided he favors the shirts that just snap closed in front...

She scratched her face all up with her nails so i ended up cutting them in the middle of the night.

2 days old

Sisters

She got her first "sponge" bath. She didn't like it until i put the wash cloth on her head-go figure

Daddy gets burping and diaper duty most of the time.

I LOVE this picture. She looks kinda sad but so sweet! (a day old)

I remember being apalled at how expensive the hospital pictures were last time(not that I ordered any-far too cheap for that) so my mom and I took some pictures of her in the hospital.

6 days old...

k. all done. it's sleepy time now...haha, like that exists...

Rob graduated!!!

This month has been a big one in our fam! Rob earned his Bachelor's in Economics! His graduation was held on the 12th. He wasn't planning on attending but learned a couple days beforehand that the thesis paper he co-authored won an award for best ungraduate thesis. He's an overachiever =) I would do everything humanly possible to avoid having to write even a two page paper but he and his partner on the project wrote a 35 page paper(and of course figured out whatever they were supposed to be figuring out) having to do with the Blood Bank-I won't pretend to understand it-but he graduated with an Honors in Econ because of the extra work. and earned a cash award to boot ;) I'm very proud of him! Future plans look like returning winter of next year to start his Masters. There's a pic of us at graduation...he didn't walk with his class.... and yes, I am extremely fatty here. 40 wks 2 days fatty. the second picture is super dark...I got a pic of him walking up there that turned out fine but the two I took on stage turned out blah. (sigh)

BGD is here...

I'm in too much of a zombie state to post but luckily my mom is not... so until I get more than a 45 minute block of sleep... you can check out -Vintage Vance-

(sigh)

The poor zebra is going to fall off my ticker.
Apparently baby did not get the message...

GUESS WHAT?! GUESS WHAT?!

We did it! The Dewsnup family has conquered Mt. Pisgah!!! I think we may have set a new record for how many rest breaks it takes to reach the top though. =) ...a lot of them were for pictures =) =) here's some...

I did not join the run to the top...

Hey look! 2 days shy of 38 weeks preggo! wahaha!!!!"Lizzy"

Only because it's been so long...

One of these days I'm going to do something super exciting and blow all y'all away... but not today.
Hmm, this past month... we got Danica's pics taken at JCPenney. That is a major accomplishment. The last time I took her in she was 2. And I still don't know how to get my scanner to work so you get a pic of a pic. I was nervous about taking her in because we had a war when trying to get her ready. Bribery, however, saved the day.
The 10th was of course Mother's Day but it was also Rob and my anniversary!!!! How exciting is that?!?! I'm not big into holidays- AT ALL- but we did have a very pleasant weekend. We got to go to a movie friday night. We saw Star Trek which I really liked. I think Rob thought it was good but a little silly. It bothered me the whole time that Spock is played by the Sylas actor. Creepy! We went for a walk at Alton Baker- it was gorgeous! Saturday morning we went out to breakfast with my folks and then wandered around Saturday Market. I'm fairly certain I haven't been there since high school or earlier and was really excited about it... I had no idea it was so expensive! I was kinda bummed. Saturday night we went out to dinner. We made plans to hike to the bench on Mt. Pisgah, mainly because Rob said I wouldn't be able to so I have to prove him wrong! But...we ended up sleeping all afternoon on Sunday. Which is good too. I only recently started getting any decent sleep because I finally caved and got some Zantac. Wow! It's wonderful. I can lay down! Here's a pic of Danica from Mother's Day. I haven't been one for pics lately for some reason ;)

Danica played with her play-do the other day. When getting it out she was talking about wanting to use "this color and this color." I think she has a limit of two colors at a time at Grandma's. So I just told her "fine, whatever you want" and went to sit down. This is what she did... with ALL her play-do. The front row is Rock"stars". I thought it was cute.

Things have been good. I've been nesting like crazy. I think we might set a record on how long the house is CLEAN. This past Wednesday was my last day of work. I've had backaches daily for the last couple weeks so I'm relieved to not have to deal with the killer one I would get after work. I'm trying to convince baby if she wants to come early I certainly wouldn't be opposed. Oh, but then I'd have to figure out a name for her! Do they let you leave the hospital without naming the child???
