A Smile a Day...or 2 or 3...

She loves to coo and smile! What a big girl she is, 7 weeks old and now weighing in at 9lbs. She's lifting her head and looking around and attempting to roll on her side. I'm really enjoying spending my days with my favorite gal! I return to work in 5 weeks... : (

We went to the farm so Maggie could meet Granny & Papa, her Great Grandparents...very exciting!

Welcome Maggie!

Proud new dad

New Mom

Margaret Adele Lumpkin (Maggie) was born to us on May 28th, 7lb 10.5oz, 19 3/4" long...and absolutely beautiful. : ) We decided to name her after Scott's Grandmother whom I unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to meet. We are home and of course exhausted, but loving every second.

The next dr. visit is this Thursday, 5/8. We get to see the baby for the first time since Christmas! My OB wants to check the baby's weight as a precaution because of the gestational diabetes. With Scott weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs 7 oz as a baby, and me being nearly 8 lbs...we BOTH know this is going to be one chubby baby! : ) Don't we all love chubby babies?!
As of last weeks' dr. appt, she was impressed with my blood sugar levels and how well I've monitored it, so things are looking good!

Dad getting things ready

The nursery

I think we're finally ready! All we need now is a baby to put in there.

Grandpa's house

Built in 1901. There's Grandpa sitting on the front porch as usual...taking in the fresh air. Such a beautiful house! All it needs is a little tlc...that would be a fun project. The Lumpkins all lived in Beaumont many moons ago, but have all (except Grandpa) since moved to the Houston/Dallas area. Scott & I try to get down there whenever we can.

Maw Maw on the move

Walking again after her femur surgery. Nothing gets in her way!

Hoping for a Girl

Mom is rubbing my belly in hopes it will be the next Grandaughter. If I get any bigger, I swear I will pop.
