Introducing...Taycee Taylor Holm

I'm sorry this is so late but here it is...better late than never I guess. It all started at 2:45 in the morning...let me say that again 2:45 in the freakin' morning!! It ended at 6:59 the next night. Whewwwwww...I bet you are feeling bad for me right now (this is Scott by the way)...haha. So Nat woke me up saying that she was having contractions and of course I didn't believe her. She told me that, "I'm having contractions..." and I replied, "Well, what do you want to do about it." I don't think she is ever going to forgive me for making that comment. Turns out it wasn't false labor at all, she was telling the truth. We arrived at the hospital and they told us that we were there to stay. Came with 2...will leave with 3! After 17 hours and about 1 trillion visitors later Taycee Taylor Holm showed up at 6:59 p.m. weighing in at a whopping 8 pounds and 15 ounces, and measuring 22 inches long!!! Nat's dad said that we skipped the infant stage and went straight to the toddler stage. We honestly couldn't be more happy with her. She is healthy and hasn't cried very much...I hope that's a good omen. The first thing that the nurses noticed was her big dimple on her left cheek...thanks to me of course! I had to say that because everything else on her definetly came from Nat. Nat had a rough labor but is doing good now, just gettin' a lot of rest...she loves drugs! Also, soon after she was born the nurses came into the room and asked us to get our cameras because we were going to give Taycee her first bath. This was a rough experience. It was going good, I was scrubbing her with a little sponge and then I leaned in to scrub her back and out of no where the faucet started pouring cold water on her head! I just sat there and thought to myself...why is this happening. Little did I know that there were foot pads on the ground that controlled the sink and I was stepping on the one that apparently turned on the cold water! Yeah, just another experience I will never be forgiven for!

House in Arizona

Scott, Jim, and Liz went down to Arizona to find us a house a couple weeks ago. After looking at tons and tons of houses in the heat of Arizona they finally made an offer on a house. Little did we know that getting a house would be so hard. When they got home from Arizona we got a phone call saying another couple had made and offer the same day and we both had to make blind bids to see who would get the house. We ended up getting the house with a bid 200 dollars more than the other couple. We are really excited about it and excited to move to Arizona. We can't wait to be able to call a place home for four years without having to move! And even better news......the baby is due in 7 days!

Graduation

On Friday Scott and I graduated from College! He graduated in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and I graduated in Elementary Education.  We are very excited to be finished and now we can have the baby the next big step in our life!

Baby Shower

Yesterday I had my baby shower. It was so much fun to get together with my family and friends, some friends I hadn't seen in a while. I was very spoiled and recieved many gifts that will help Scott and I raise this baby girl. Thanks to everyone who came and for the awesome gifts. It was so much fun! I am now 35 weeks and only 5 more to go. I am ready for this baby girl to make her entrance into this world!

Happy Birthday Scott

Well its Scott 25th birthday on Friday the 20th. I know he is getting old. I know that his birthday isn't for a day but yesterday one of his presents I got him came in the mail and I had to let him open it. I was more excited for it than him.

Yes, thats right I got him a little girl North Carolina cheer outfit. I think he was a little shocked to find that for his birthday he got a baby present. HA-HA. It just so happens that he was also wearing his sweatshirt yesterday so I made him take a picture with it. I love it, and now she can watch the games with him! (Great way to get him to babysit) :)

Also Scott had to have a mole removed on the side of his head and the whole time I heard that he was going to die of cancer, well the results came back and yes you guessed it definitely not cancerous so that was very relieving. These are his stitches. He had 5 stiches and had them taken out today except for one and I am supposed to take out that final stitch in a couple of days. Not sure how I feel about that.

And finally the dreaded pregnant picture. Now keep in mind that the last picture I took was at about 25 weeks. I am now 30 weeks and I have tripled in size that is no lie. I have no idea where this baby is going to go for the next 10 weeks because I already feel like there is not enough room. Also I think I will stick to taking pictures in black shirts because they really are so much more slimming!

This is for you Megan

My friend Megan from Georgia has been asking me for a long time to put a pregnant picture up and I have been constantly telling her no, but today I decided I would do it just for her. So Megan you should feel very very special! We miss you guys a lot! This is me at 25 Weeks! And we still have a lot more to go!

Today we went and got our 20 week ultra sound done and it is a girl! I knew it the whole time and so did everyone else except Scott. I think at first he was a little disappointed because of course every guy wants a baby boy, but I think he will get used to the idea when she comes. Actually I am pretty sure that she will have him wrapped around her little finger. The other great thing was that everything was looking healthy. The doctor checked the heart, brain, and everything else and said everything looked good so that was a great! I of course am very excited for a little girl and can't wait to start buying things for her. She weighed 11 ounces which the doctor compared to the size of a can of pop.....so still not very big but growing at a rapid rate and so is my stomach for sure!
