Our First Christmas

This christmas was a christmas of firsts... Our first christmas being married, Cassidy's first christmas, and our first christmas as a family!! We had a great christmas, if I must say so myself! It was nice to just have us 3 here at home for a quiet and relaxing christmas together. The hubby and I challenged each other to see who had the better stocking stuff from 'Santa'..lol. I must say that he did a great job, but I think I won! Cassidy was not a happy camper with us waking her up to come see what all she got for christmas. I definitely can't wait until next year when we can really play 'Santa' with her! I would have to say my favorite present that I got, other than the brand new laptop, would have to be the bracelet that the hubby got me. It is 10k white gold bracelet with Zack, Sam, & Cassidy engraved on each link with our birthstones beside our names. It is beautiful and I wanted to cry. The hubby's fav is his mossy oak clemson sunglasses by far, even over his new digital camera! The hubby passed out the gifts and after we were done opening all of them, I got started on christmas dinner! We had ham, corn, lima beans, and macaroni & cheese and for desert we had homemade white chocolate macadamia nut cookies! It was delicious if I must say so myself! Here are some of my pics of our first christmas together as a family!

Cassidy's Homecoming

My baby girl is finally home!! I'm so excited, or more should I say we are excited, to finally have her home to enjoy and love. I can finally irritate her for all the hard kicks in the middle of the night when she was in my tummy. Pay back is a pain! lol We had the christmas decor up for her to come home to and she was so excited to come home I couldn't get her to go to sleep for hours!

Her first night was alittle restless since I was not happy that our room was colder than it needed to be for her so we slept in the living room, me and her in the chair and daddy on the couch. She has been eating great since she got home minus the occasional spitting up when she burps, but she only has one problem... she is now constipated! lol I guess all the excitement and big changes pooped her out! She hasn't pooped since we left the hospital so I gave her alittle prune juice in her formula at 3pm so we shall see how she does in a few hours.

She has a doctor's appointment next week and on the 7th so we will know how much weight she's gained being home in a few days. But I can't wait to take her to see Santa next week!

*Cassidy all ready to come home!

*Our christmas tree...she loves the lights!
*Our stockings ready for Santa!

Cassidy's Nursery

Since the baby shower, I have slowly by surely gotten Cassidy's nursery organized and put together. There are still a few things on the floor, but for the most part it's organized. The funny thing is that the only thing I have left to get her is bottles! lol of all the things that are usually left on the list of "things left to get the baby", her's only says bottles. So I will make an effort to do that here soon!

*Her winnie the pooh decorated crib! She might be alittle small for it for now but she'll grow into it soon enough.

*Her bed for a little while til she gets big enough for her crib!

*Only half of her clothes, the rest are in the 2 boxes and in her dresser! Preemie to 3T!

*Her organized closet... probably wont be when she gets home so might as well enjoy it now!

Happy Halloween

I know it's been a while since halloween, but I couldn't help but want to show off my cute little pumpkin! Literally.... she was a pumpkin for halloween! lol and the cutest one I've ever seen might I add. We got her outfit at her baby shower from her aunt maymay and it was a size newborn but I washed and dryed it a few times. It was still alittle big but she was so cute! Just wait for the thanksgiving outfit I got... it fits perfectly with our "fat kid" family! lol

Cheraw Baby Shower

I know this post is almost a month late but we have been very busy with little Miss Cassidy being in the hospital and all. Her baby shower is Cheraw, SC was October 22, 2009 at my favorite Mexican restaurant ever, Fiesta Tapita. My mom did a great job decorating and hosting the baby shower. Too Cute!! Cassidy got some super cute things and we are very greatful for everyone's support and encouragment. We are more than ready for her to come home and we can't wait to see her in all of her cute clothes!! Here are a few pics of the shower:

*The cutest baby cake ever! 10 layer chocolate cake yum yum!

*She definitely got a big haul! Thanks everyone for their gifts!
*This girl has more clothes than a super model! She literally won't need clothes for another 2 years! Thanks for all the super cute oufits!!
