Zoe's blessing

Zoe was blessed by her daddy yesterday morning in church.  It was a very tender moment for us and she was so good as Steve, my dad, brother, and our bishop held her.  Here are some pictures of the day.  She wore the white dress that Great Grandma Glover crocheted for me and my sister when we were blessed.  She is such a blessing in our lives!

I love being a Mommy!

My sweet little Zoe has already been home for a week!  It's amazing how your life can change so much in so little time.  We have loved getting to know Zoe this week and I can't even imagine life without her now.
 So far, she seems to be a very calm little spirit.  She loves being cuddled and her favorite place to sleep is on Mommy or Daddy's chest.  We received a clean bill of health on Wednesday when we took her in.  We've had a bit of difficulty with breastfeeding and she was loosing weight at the hospital.  We're still working at the breastfeeding bit but with a little supplement, she's been able to gain back most of her weight and her pediatrician says she's looking fantastic!

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for everyone's love and congrats!  We've been blessed to have so many great family and friends to wish us well:-)  We hope you are all doing well!

Here are a couple of the sonogram pictures from today. For the record, she's showing as 10 pounds 8 ounces per the measurements on the sonogram machine.

Well, here's our little (or big, depending on how you look at it) watermelon.  She was very active this morning for our ultrasound but did a great job at showing us some good baby parts:-)  This is her profile.  She seems to enjoy sucking on her fists and gave us a few nice yawns while we were watching her.  Anyway, she is ready and rearing to come...already head down in Mommy's pelvis (Mommy could have told you that BEFORE the ultrasound though..haha) and measuring at a whopping 9lbs. 8 oz. already!!  Ugh.  The ultrasound tech told me that it is usually off by 1/2 lb. or so, so they are calling her at 9 lbs. even.

We're so excited for her to come...Mommy has been telling her the last few days that it's OK to come anytime she wants from here on out.  Of course, Mommy would be happy for sooner rather than later:-)  We'll see what happens!

Anniversary Dinner

We decided that we wanted fish for our Anniversary dinner, so we chose The Oceanaire Seafood Room (http://www.theoceanaire.com/locations/dallas). Overall, we had a great experience there. We loved all of the food we had, and they even gave us a free dessert because it was our anniversary (they chose it, we didn't). We'll definitely be going back for more.

It's been a great two years, and we look forward to many more...

Oh, and they even gave us a custom printed menu to commemorate the event:
