Clara Mae Williams

I am a little behind on blogging & since the last post we have had a baby & she turned a week old...so I will just include all things Clara instead of doing 2 separate posts!

Clara Mae Williams was born November 9, 2010! She was 6lbs 12oz (2oz bigger than Brody) & 18 inches (an inch shorter than Brody)! Brody & Clara are 17 months apart and I have to say Brody does not seem to care one way or the other about her being here! He tries to get in her bouncy chair when she is not in it & sometimes he will think about touching her just to see what we will say! He has been such a good boy especially since his world changed so much!

This past Tuesday we took Clara for her one week weight check & she was 6lbs 13oz (she left the hospital @ 6lbs 9oz) & 19 inches! She is growing like a weed already! She is such a good baby & she eats 3 oz every 3 1/2-4 hours. No complaints here! She also turned a week old on Tuesday!

Now for the good part...Here are some pictures from the hospital & once we got home & of course some of her at a week old!
We also want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I don't know about yall but I am ready for some Turkey!

Right after she was born...we had to stay in the recovery room for 2 hours!!

So proud of myself for making this dress for little miss!

Elf Shoes for Clara and her 2 cousins (I made these too)!

Won't they be so cute this Holiday Season?!

Yummy cakes with Raspberry filling!

Love this diaper cake! I can't take it apart because I think it is so cute!

Love these girls...they got us a double stroller...how did I not think of that?!

Clara's Room

I made 3/4 pillows on the bed. Belk made the one closest to the crib!

I love the way it all turned out!

How Awesome is this lamp? You can design your own lamp shade at Lamps Plus...super cool!

Glenna Jean Bedding

I made the round pillow too! Hobby Lobby did a great job on the other one ;)

And finally mom and I made the window treatments.

I love her room and it makes me so happy...but I am a big fan of pink too! She will be here in 5 days! Can't wait to see her!

Don't even know where to start!

We have been doing so much and I am just now getting around to posting pictures like I said I would way back in the summer! What have we been up too...too much! We went to a Cowboys game (suggestion: don't try that at 7-8 months pregnant)! We have been getting ready for baby Clara, we have been to a pumpkin patch and Jay planned and pulled off a Surprise Party for my 30th Birthday! I can't believe he did that, he did have help and does not take all the credit but I have been told it was his idea all the way! Way to go Babe! I was so VERY Surprised and when everyone yelled "Surprise" it kinda scared Brody a little bit. He jumped and didn't know what to think, but he finally warmed up. So now for the important stuff, some (tons) of pictures for your enjoyment. Tomorrow is my real Birthday and then we can focus on Clara coming to join our family! Can't wait! We are about a month away!

My love Bug!

Birthday Cake! It was AWESOME! Mom (Helped Jay plan the party and got the AWESOME cake)! Dad, Bailey & me

The Countdown is On

2 months from today we will get to meet Miss Clara! I am so dang excited. I think alot of it has to do with the fact that me, Mimi, Katie, and her other grandmother keep buying cute stuff for her to wear and I can't wait to see it on her. That will be the fun part...all the outfits! So far I have not done ONE thing in her room. We had to order a new crib for Brody so when that comes in I guess I will get the ball rolling on her room! And I have not one single picture to put with this post! :) I will try to get some pictures of Brody in his Aggie/Red Raider gear and Cowboy's gear and put that up soon. Hope you all have a happy weekend! GUNS UP! GO RED RAIDERS!

Hello out there

It has been a long time since I updated the blog and a lot of people gave me some grief about it over the past weekend.
The background I found is called Clara so I had to pick it and it's red and white with some yellow, but if she likes red and white that will be fine with me! Go Red Raiders! On that note YEA for football season, however, I think I am gonna miss Mike and don't hold out much hope for the Red Raiders this season. Maybe they will surprise me. Speaking of Clara at my last visit we scheduled my C-Section so as of now her birthday is set for Nov. 9, 2010! THREE months from TODAY! I've been so bad about taking pictures this summer but I did get a new smart phone that takes pretty good pictures...
The other day I went to get my hair done and Brody got his first haircut! I did manage 2 pictures of that, he could have cared less about getting a haircut but I know that will all change one day! And finally to all my teacher friends out there enjoy they last days of summer school is right around the corner!
