Baby Blessing

I'm relieved to say I no longer have to stress about whether Rob was going to surprise us with some random name during her blessing. All went perfectly. She miraculously was quite well behaved even. =)

One Month

Mira Michelle Dewsnup

!!! It's a miracle...she has a name!!!
haha.
I realized it's been a couple weeks since I've blogged. I do the same thing everyday. Tend to a crying baby. It's a good life. She actually slept for a six hour stretch last night. I was amazed! ...she calls... must go. Hopefully I'll get a pic up soon since she's a month tomorrow!

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

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-
