Presents

A couple nights before Cate's arrival I wanted to give everyone in my family a present and Ryan one too! I gave them presents because I wanted to thank them for being so helpful during my pregnancy and helping out with all our home renovations... I gave my brother a picture framed for his new college house, my sister decor for her new apartment, my mom a gift card to get her nails done, my dad $50 gift card to sonic.. he goes their every morning for a drink and Ryan a watch with something engraved on the back! Well Ryan surprised me that night and gave me a present too! He gave me the most beautiful David Yurman ring with Cate's birthstone in it! I had never even seen this ring before!! I wore the ring during labor and every time I look at it I remember how loved I am:)













Happy Tuesday:)
LOVE LOVE LOVE

Aug 21, 2009 - Welcome Catharine Isabella

Hello my sweet sweet friends!
I am so sorry for my absence... having a new baby around and a husband at work, makes for a very very busy day! At the end of the day I feel like I haven't really gotten much done but I do have a beautiful little girl:)

My water broke at 230am on August 21! We went to the hospital and by 2:39 we had a 7lb 7 oz little bundle of joy! She has a full head of brown hair but it gets lighter as the days go by! She is just the sweetest lil thing we have ever met! The last two weeks with her have been wonderful! She does have her days and nights completely mixed up but I heard that too will pass! I am feeling well, expect for the emotions! I cry a lot, prolly because I am tired and some because I just don't want her to grow up to fast! I just love her more than words can say.

Ryan was able to spend our first week home with us and that was such a blessing. I was so sad when he went back to work but my mom and sister stepped in and helped out a ton!! My sister starts work this week, she is taking over my position at my job and I will be staying home with Cate full time! Good luck sister! We are really going to miss you this week! My sister was over at our house every morning by 9am! I really do not know what I am going to do without her!

I will post a few pics on today's post and spend most of the week, sharing more pictures... trust me.. I have taken over 500 already! Wow!
Thank you for all the encouragement, prayers, kind words, thoughtfulness and love over the last 10 months! I am so blessed to have all of you guys as friends! Thank you!!
