Another Mommy Moment

My Angel Baby

How is it that my head can be aching for Colin to go to sleep one minute and then when he FINALLY does, I actually MISS him? This was taken during a nap time.



This is the typical pre-bath routine. I'm not really sure if he's excited or protesting sometimes!

I tried to catch Colin while he was dancing to some music playing from the computer.

"I like to sit in things" - Colin

So, everybody knows that Colin likes to sit in things, boxes of all sizes, laundry baskets...well, the other day he actually tried to sit in the tiny little canister/tin that's in the picture. Oh, Colin...

And the sex is...

It's a girl! We had the ultrasound on Monday. The baby is healthy and growing stronger and stronger. We're very excited to be having a little girl! Below is a 4D picture from the ultrasound. She's holding her little right hand in front of her face.

Bump Watch 2009

I think this should count as the first official "bump" picture. I'm about one week shy of being 5 months along. So far, the due date is still November 27th.

We're finding out the sex on July 13th (this coming up Monday....finally!!). I've been feeling the baby move for a couple of weeks now. And the kicks and little jabs are getting stronger and stronger.

This is the 6 month(ish) picture. Due date is still November 27th. No name picked out yet, but we've started our list. Baby Girl McBride is VERY active. She's been kicking constantly between the hours of 9 and 11 pm every night (Colin used to go from 10 - 11pm) and then randomly all day long (Colin slept all day long). Colin still hasn't really noticed that Mommy has a big belly now. I tell him all the time, "Mommy has a baby in there" especially when he's trying to climb all over me, but it just hasn't registered yet. (I'm kidding, I do tell him a baby is coming, but I don't really expect him to grasp the whole concept.)

Stay tuned to see the ever expanding belly!!

7 months (28 weeks) and going strong. My "turkey timer" belly button has popped out, but I don't think she's done cooking; however, from the kicks she gives I'd say she's plenty strong!


8-ish months. That's all I have to say about it.


38 weeks, otherwise known as 2 weeks away from being 40 WEEKS (or 10 MONTHS) PREGNANT
This was a special request picture and will be the last. One week from this coming Tuesday, we will be having a beautiful baby girl. Stay tuned to the blog for newborn pictures!

Yo Boyeeee!!!!

Who is Colin channeling in this picture?!

Moving Day!

Over the holiday weekend Matt, Colin, and I moved into a new apartment (in the same building we've been in). I want to send out a big THANK YOU to my parents and grandparents for making the trip from Alabama to help us. It was a great time visiting and working.

Now where did we put those child-proof cabinet locks??

The old apartment is finally cleaned out!

Now....to put stuff away in the new apartment...

Happy 4th of July!
