Little Miss

Mary Amelia is almost 3 weeks old.
Here are some random pictures from the last few days or so....

She is getting chubby! I love it!

Sleeping with Daddy

Davey LOVES her!

and loves her...

She gets LOTS of kisses!

This is the closest picture of a smile. She does the sweetest smiles.

The boys love it. "She smiled at me Mom!"

Her hair goes curly when it's wet! And then it waves out when it dries.

and the swirl...

She has her admirers!

Bug on a rug! Doesn't she look so tiny?

Here is the blanket from Grandma Sparks.

She is such a good sweet baby.

My boys are awesome, but it really is different having a girl.

I love it!

Mary Amelia Corless

The newest version of Corless has arrived!

She's here! Thursday afternoon contractions started at about 3pm.

She was born at 9:13 pm.

8lb 3oz , 19 1/2 inches March 5, 2009

When I got to the hospital I was almost a 5. When they gave me the epidural, I was an 8. When they realized it only numbed half of my body, I was a 9.

When I started pushing, I realized what women go through without pain relief. It still went quickly and I was so relieved when she was born.

She came out so clean and pink. She has a swirl in the front of her dark hair-thanks to Daddy.

I came home from the hospital Saturday morning. My mom is here for a week, then David has spring break for a week.

The boys LOVE to see her and touch her and kiss her. And she lets them love her.

Davey love.

Peter love.

Adam love.

She has been eating constantly and is growing and changing so much already.

Here she is today. It will probably be a while before I post again, but I hope you enjoy the pictures.

We're happy and healthy and doing really well.

No news is no news...

This is my belly this morning, on my way to my Dr appt again, that I thought I for sure wouldn't make it to...

Well, since I am overdue, I was sent to the hospital to have an ultrasound to check fluids, baby movement, size, etc.
The good news is, she's doing really well, approx. 7lbs 11oz, give or take, breathing, moving, happy.
My body is healthy and there aren't any complications to worry about at this point.
So, We're still waiting, and doing just fine!
Next appt is next Monday...

Happy Birthday to Peter, officially. :)

Well, my sweet Peter is 6 years old, and his real birthday came and went with no baby interruption!

We had a quiet celebration with presents from family and a very simple cake with ice cream, of course.

6 years ago, Peter was born 6lbs, 7oz, just a tiny little thing. His name means "rock". He is a deep thinker and loves with his hands. He is my most active child, and loves to be tickled, still. The other night, he said, "thanks Mom" after I tickled him.
He can be calmed and responds so quickly with a loving touch and a soft voice. He has such a sweet smile and still gives the best hugs.

Here are some pictures of Peter when he was a little bit younger.
