newsprings 10 year anniversary

The church we attend, NewSpring, celebrated their 10 year anniversary at the BiLo Center in Greenville. We were able to go and experience what God has done and how God has changed so many lives. NewSpring started in Anderson and then grew to Greenville, Florence, Columbia and now Charleston. When you let God take control, he can move in so many ways.

Click the link below to check out some pictures that were taken.

NewSpring's 10 year anniversary

Daniel and his dad are huge Packer fans. Since we've had Lily, she's gotten all kind of Pack stuff. We went to Gigi and Poppy's to watch the Pack play the Cardinals on Sunday. Even though the Pack lost, it was still a good game and a good time. Here are a couple of pictures from the day.

happy new year 2010

We rang in the New Year by sleeping. Lily ate and fell asleep and so did we. Hopefully 2010 will be our year to catch up on the sleep we lost since October. 

the moments that take your breath away

Lily is starting to become her own person and her personality is coming out. She's developing really fast. She loves to stand and smiles all the time.

I just wanted to share what makes our world stop and what each parent looks forward to.

2 months

Lily is already 2 months and it is so hard to believe. Our little baby is growing so fast.



Lily also had to get her 2 month shots and the nurse put cute Dora bandaides on her.

1 month

Time flies too fast. Lily is already a month old. She loves to eat right now and she sleeps well at night.

After all the weight gain, cravings, swelling, and complaining because I don't look good in clothes anymore, our little girl has arrived. Lily Ashlyn Baker was born October 29, 2009 at 7:01pm weighing 7lbs 7ozs and 20 3/4 in length.

I went in at 5am to be induced and was able to stand the contractions until 2:15 and then I decided to quit being a superwoman and get an epidural. It wasn't as bad as I thought and Daniel and I were able to get some rest before the big debut.

Here are some pictures of the big day...

belly cast

Daniel and I decided to cast my belly to remember how big it was and how precious and wonderful a pregnany belly is. It was fun but messy.

Here are a few pictures from our casting...
