Well I consider myself a Mommy even though I can not physically see my baby.   So, this was my first Mother's Day!   I went to Rapid City with my Mom and Sister and ate out, shopped, registered for Baby Haynes, and stopped by my Grandma's to visit her.   It was a great sunny day!   

Baby is an Eggplant and then turned into an English Cucumber

 From head to heels Baby measures about 13 1/2 inches.

Babies weight is a pound and a half.

Babies hair is growing (if it has McColley genes it will be bald until 2 years of age)

Sleep? sleep is not so much.  My back is starting to ache because of the position I am lying in so when I move it takes forever to turn over.   Just can't get comfy.  I tried the pillow between the knees this week.  I have to admit, it helped and it is oh so comfy.

Blood vesels on the lungs are developing.
Baby can now hear everything I hear. Story time here I come.

 

3 years ago we stood on this exact rock and took our picture.

We had only known each other for one day.

I think we knew we would be together forever! 

 

It was our First Wedding Anniversary on April 28, 2013

We decided to go to Deadwood, South Dakota for the night.

It was perfect

This was right before an older man came up to Scott and told him he had a beautiful wife.

I reminded him of his High School girlfriend.  :)
