Some of My Favorite Shots

A shot of Grampy and Emalyn. Grandpa flew back to TX that day (6/8). Hopefully we will see him (and my mom) in September! You can't really see her onesie, but it says "Grandpa's Little Princess"...he bought it for her that week, isn't that sweet!

I love her expressions and now that her eyes are open there is so much more or a presence of her personality (6/3).

Baby's first bath (6/5)! Emalyn looks calm, but believe me, she yelled like mad when we were drying her off!! We've come to enjoy bathtime now...very relaxing for both of us!

Cameron picked out this outfit and we were supposed to bring her home from the hospital in it. Too bad it was HUGE on her. Now it fits just right (6/15). I can't believe she is going to be a month old, and she fits perfectly in newborn size clothing!

Grammy and Emalyn (Sunday, 6/15). We were on our way to Redstone Restaurant for a brunch to say thanks to Grammy for spending so much time with us as we adjusted to having a brand new member of our family with us. Grammy helped out more than anyone could ever know! THANKS AGAIN Grammy!!

Such a pretty dress!

This little sweet dress if from a mother and daughter at my church. If you think it is cute in this photo, just imagine in person! The color is a strong salmon or coral color, which looks amazing against Emalyn's olive skintone. I still can't get over the fact that she is darker than I am-and sge's only a quarter Guatemalan to my half! What's up with that?!!?

I'm finally in a photo!

So I have been kind of sheepish about being in any of the photos after the baby has been born-no make up, bad hair, etc. But my mom had me pose after a morning walk with with Quincy, our pug. We are in our screened in porch...I forgot how pretty it can be out there with the flowers!

Emalyn's First Day

One of our first shots of our darling little girl after she was born....we can't get over how much dark hair she has!

Grandpa Cain just flew into town and came right to the hospital. He picked up Grandma so that she could go back to the house and get a full night's sleep!

Last but not least Emalyn and Grandma Cain. Grandma stayed with us at the hospital the whole labor and delivery and the night after. I was so grateful for the company!

Emalyn Ruth

No matter how much you think you can plan for giving birth or visualize how it may go, there is really no way to know exactly how or what will happen in that labor and delivery room. Any minute things can change.... and they do. Thankfully, our little girl, Emalyn Ruth, was born perfectly healthy at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Emalyn weighed in at 6 lbs 3 oz. Here she is on the scale waiting to get swaddled again, poor thing!

Cameron was so excited to see her born. It seemed like forever from when we checked in the hospital to when she finally arrived-It was so nice to see her and meet her after 9 long months of waiting!

Here's another of the proud daddy!

Too sweet.

This necklace and charm is a gift Cameron gave me a couple weeks back for my being a first time mom. His gesture is so very sweet as the pink sapphires signify that we are going to be having a little girl. He is such a good planner too, as he decided to give the gift to me early as he thought there might be a "little too much going on" at the hospital when the baby decides it's time. How could I be so lucky....

Nursery Photos

We finally have the nursery finished....here is the final product!! We have to say we are definitely happy with the outcome...very neutral/classy...and hopefully will last for a good amount of years....we'll see! The following photo is from the door to the room.

This next photo is from the other side of the room.

We just can't wait to have a litle one to put in the room now....last piece of the puzzle!

36 Weeks

Aren't we cute? Cameron and I have a friend at church that is starting her own photography business and she asked to take some maternity photos. Here are just a few....

Cameron's Work Shower

Cameron's office had a shower for the baby...isn't that sweet! Here we are in front of the cake-which was delicious, by the way!!

You have to admit, these have got to be the BEST shoes ever!! Of course we all know I have a weakness for shoes, let alone little adorable ones....thanks again Lt Col Best!!

Last but not least, a fun photo of Cameron enjoying himself opening gifts! Everyone was so generous and thoughtful! Can't believe she is almost here!

Kristine's Office Baby Shower

Cameron was able to join me for a Baby shower given by my office. Here we are in the conference room after eating a delicious catered Olive Garden meal. We received many, many wonderful items including adorable clothes, a collectable china baby cup and bowl, baby soap/lotion, baby book, toys, burp cloths, receiving blankets and BIBS!! Can you believe we didn't have any bibs until now!

This is a photo of Justina, Me and Aubrey (left to right). These are the wonderful kind ladies that went to the hassle of planning, organizing and throwing the whole thing for Cameron and me. Thanks ladies!
