Welcome Riley Elizabeth Sullivan

Matt and I are honored to announce the arrival of our sweet daughter, Riley Elizabeth Sullivan on April 18th, 2011 at 6:35 pm weighing 6 lbs 3 oz and 18 inches long. We could not be happier and our little pumpkin has taken over our hearts. We have been just loving, kissing, hugging, snuggling, playing, admiring and taking photos our our little angel that i have finally had a moment to post.. not to mention getting use to this whole parenting thing is a little overwhelming but am loving every single minute of it. We thank the Lord everyday for blessing us with such a miracle and healthy baby girl. Ok, enough with the talking I will show the pics:) Enjoy! We love you Riley.

39 Weeks and Can't Wait to Meet You!!!

We are patiently waiting for our sweet baby girl to arrive:) We are on our toes 24/7 and only God and this little baby are in control of the her arrival. There is a full moon tonight so I wonder if she will come?!??! Someone told me two days before or two days after a full moon is when a baby will come so we shall see. In the meantime I am keeping busy with my monogramming and cleaning the house getting ready for her big day. I had a wonderful birthday on Wednesday and the beautiful weather made is just perfect. Matt and I went on a picnic and went out for ice cream. Just a perfect evening and probably the last with just the two of us:)

One Last Touch....

You certainly can't have a little girls nursery without a chandelier... so we put one in:) I can't believe next week is the big week. Holy Moly, it's almost here!!!!!

Well D-day is two weeks from Friday, April 8th and we can hardly stand the anticipation, so hurry and come out baby girl! The doctor appointments are going well and she is right where she needs to be:) I am feeling GREAT! I eat all day and night, literally I wake up in the middle of the night and drink milk and a banana.. is that weird? I know I am going to miss these baby kick and movement but can't wait to meet her:) This time of year makes me so happy, all the flowers are blooming, warm weather, everyone is outside riding bikes and walking, the smell of fresh cut grass, pretty yards, it's just so fun but the most fun of all is meeting our sweet little girl! Enjoy the pics.
