Life is GREAT!!

Callie's a week old today. She is absolutely adorable and we love having her here!

She loves sucking on her hands

Callie's level for Jaundice has gone down, so she's finally done wearing this BiliBlanket. My mom says she looks like a glow worm. :)

Andrew getting her to sleep. He sang to her too...oh I love him!

My entertainment. I tickle her face and chin when she's half asleep, and I usually get a smile from her. Yesterday she gave the biggest smile ever! She smiled when her mouth was all the way open, so it was huge! :)

Andrew playing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" on the Ukulele.

She likes her baths

They love their naps

My mom took this last night, after tickling her face. She's starting to make funny noises too. Oh, we love her!

Callie Noelle

Here is Callie Noelle. She was 6lbs 2oz and 18 inches long. She was born 1:24pm MST! Here are some of the best pictures of Callie Noelle. More to come in the near future!

36 Weeks!!

It's crazy how fast this pregnancy's been. I mean 9 months is a long time, but I guess since it's been pretty easy, I sometimes forget I'm even pregnant. And I'm sure Andrew's very happy that it's been nice for me... :)

Last weekend we went to Spokane and had a baby shower. It was so nice to see everyone and the party was amazing!


The amazing food table...perhaps the best part :)

My wonderful team from L-R: Brenda=the secretary, Morgan=bag/card organizer, and Chelsea=tissue paper folder/organizer. Thanks again! :)

A blanket made by a very special person, Margaret. Thank you and I know she'll love it!

About half of the clothes my parents got for her...hahaha





Friends...(Kristin, Megan, Annalee, and Mandi)

Thank you everyone for coming and for all the great gifts! And those of you who helped put it together, thank you!! I feel so blessed to know such wonderful people! It was a blast!

32 Weeks and 4 Days

Here's another picture of the baby belly.

While taking the picture...
Andrew: "Are you pushing out?"
Ashley: "No..."
Andrew: "Wow, you're BIG!"

The view I see when she's in a weird position

The view Andrew sees when she's in a weird position. I never knew that's what it looked like. How cool! :)

We need to be Healthier!!

Andrew and I have decided that we need to be healthier. Yes, we can exercise, but we really need to change our eating habits as well.

Do you have any healthy recipes/ideas/tips, that are yummy at the same time? And somewhat cheap?

Thanks so much!

House #2!!

Finally! Some pictures of our new place!

We live in the basement of this house. Our door is down, on the left side.

The kitchen...

And we have an OVEN!!!! Yay!! Don't you just love the green!? :) And what also comes with this great place...cupboards!! Now we don't have to put our pots and pans in a dresser, used as cupboards.

We even have a walk-in pantry!

Couches are sooo amazing! These came with the place, except the white chairs (thanks again Jim and Paula!). But it's so nice to finally have a living room and ROOM to have people over!

The other side of the living room...

...

Our bedroom...

It is a lot bigger than this, I swear! There's tons of room for the baby now, so we don't have to worry about whether or not she has to sleep in the closet! (No joke)

And the bathroom...It's so nice to have cupboards and drawers in here too! Now I don't have to store all my bathroom stuff in my backpack.

If you don't remember our last place and how small it was, you can look at the blog. Just go to 2009 blogs and click on the "May" one. We are so grateful to have a bigger place, have great landlords and neighbors, be within walking distance from school, and be in the same ward! Life is great!

28/29 Weeks

She moves all the time and the kicks are starting to get VERY big! We love it!
