Lila's first photo shoot

The hospital photographer was awesome. Even though Lila was not in the mood for pictures, we still got some cute shots. She is 1 day old here. Wish I would have known I was going to be in some of them...I would have done my hair!

Introducing Lila Tamara Mull!

We are so excited to introduce our brand new little beauty, Lila Tamara Mull. She was born August 19th at 8:05am, and she weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs 3 oz and 18 inches long. She's just a tiny little squirt, but just as cute and perfect as can be. As soon as she came out, she was wide awake and alert, checking out this brand new world of hers. She is so sweet... pretty much just sleep, eat, poop, and small intervals of waking up to say hi to us and look around for a while. We are all in love. Davis wants to hold her and kiss her all the time. He calls her "my baby" and gets so excited when she looks at him or smiles. He tells me that she loves him and that's why she looks at him. So fun. We are still a little sleep deprived from two full nights of no sleep while laboring then a few more nights of little sleep while Lila tries to get past her nocturnal instincts, but we are hoping to catch up soon!

Here I am in labor, and Davis is giving some love to his sister before he gets to meet her. Last day in the belly.



Not the most attractive picture, but she literally just came out. Her first moments.


Davis meeting his sister for the first time, just a couple of hours after birth.

Randomness

Just thought I'd post some of my most recent pictures, as I am trying to keep the camera space clear before my little lady arrives...

The Belly- 38 weeks. This should be a nice self esteem boost for anyone having a chubby day... doesn't get much bigger than this.


I've been working on a few projects lately. One of the easiest ones was this car seat cover. I haven't added any embellishments yet, but it's still fun.



I made these cookies for a baby shower. My friend and neighbor across the street asked if she could pay me to make some cookies, so I did. I think this was my first paid cookie job, and sadly, not nearly my best work. You can only do so much when you're nine months pregnant, so I'm not losing sleep over it.

They're here!

Crystal has been in nursing school for the last year, so it has been a year since I've seen her and the kids in person (aside from a few hours of overlap in San Diego). Anyway, she finally finished school and came out our way for a visit. Yay! Davis was beyond thrilled to have his cousins at the house day and night for a few days... even though the lack of sleep that caused created some really special moods. I was thrilled to have them all here too. I put Crystal to work and had her make me a baby quilt. We didn't have a pattern, so she just winged it, and it is looking adorable so far. We did stop working to play for a little while and took the kids to the gym and the dinosaur museum. Friday night we had a fun girls night out for an early birthday celebration for Crystal. Hopefully they'll be coming around again before they head back home because we miss them way too much when they're gone!

Almost up to date!

This is my 4th post for the day, and I am really close to being up to date! Hooray! As always, the updates are pretty much just the things that I happen to remember to take pictures of, so Enjoy!

This is out of order, but the biggest thing that happened in the last few weeks was my new nephew being born. I got to be there for his birth, and it was amazing! Mary did such a great job, and everything went perfectly. They named him Calvin Emmett Mull.







This was almost a month ago- everyone wanted to get a belly shot of Mary and I before we had the babies. I was about 33 weeks, and she was about 38 weeks.





We got together with Bry's family for the 24th of July to do some fireworks and hang out. The kids all loved the sparklers.





Belly shot about 35 weeks


Davis loves being with his cousins. They were getting ready to watch the fireworks, and the boys were being very silly.





Tami came to visit for a few days... HOORAY!!! It was so much fun seeing her and hanging out for a little bit. Davis loves his aunt Tami too, and we can't wait until she comes back for another visit.





These last pictures are a bit random. We were at Bry's parents house and went down to check on the garden. The sky looked crazy and amazing, so we took a few pictures. My belly is about 36 weeks here.
