Rylie Anne McGinnis

Rylie Anne McGinnis was born on March 17, 2008 at 9:09am. She weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long!!! We cannot tell you how excited we were to find out that we had a baby girl! The anticipation of waiting to know was intense! We love her so very much already! We feel so blessed! Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures we have taken.

My Mom Has Arrived!!!!

My Mom is here! Yay! She was scheduled to fly into Detroit at 11:15pm. Well, her connecting flight in St. Louis had a problem. The engine on the plane broke down. So they had to wait for a different plane to come in. So, her flight got delayed 2 hours. She wasn't able to fly in until 1:15am!!! So, we ended up getting into Lansing at 3:30am this morning! We were EXHAUSTED! To top it off we came home to no heat and no hot water! Aaaagh! However, the maintenance crew just left and supposedly it's fixed. We shall see. Connor is so excited to have my Mom here, as am I. When Connor spotted my Mom at the airport he took off on a dead run to see her! It was so cute!!!! Connor is loving life now!

Nearly 9 Months Along!!!!

I decided that I should get a shot of me being pregnant this time around. I haven't really stopped to take a picture. In this picture I only have 10 days left before we deliver the baby.

MONSTERS!

Connor loves to play a game with Mike, which he calls "Monsters". It consists of chasing Mike around with a sword, wacking him with it, and yelling "Roar!!!!" Only Connor is allowed to do this. If Mike trys doing it to Connor, Connor replies that he needs to sit down and take a break. Well, tonight Connor and Mike were playing "Monsters" when Connor yells at Mike, "You taked away my victory!!!!" Where does he come up with this stuff?!?!?!? :) LOL!

*********

I'm also pumped because I fixed my blog today! I was having problems with the links to everyone else's blogs. If I clicked on them it wouldn't show me any new updates from 3 days ago and forward. I was so frustrated and couldn't make it work! I just about deleted my blog because I was so frustated!!!! Then, I did some searching on some "HELP" sites and found some ideas to try. One finally worked! I had to clear my browser cache! As soon as I did that the problem was fixed! Hallelujah!!!!

MALL MANIA!!!!

As many of you know, from other blogs or just being there, we had another Girls Night Out on Friday! It was a BLAST!!!! It was titled Mall Mania. We divided into 2 groups. We had a long list of items that you had to get a picture of while actually doing it. We then went to Rylie's house and had root beer floats! Mmm! Here are a ton of pictures from the night!

2 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!

2 weeks from today I will be delivering our new little baby!!!!! Aaagh! I feel excitement and I feel scared too! I'm getting more excited though so that's a good thing! I had a Dr. appointment today. I told him about the intense pelvic pain/pressure/soreness. So, he felt my stomach and said, "That's because the baby's head is down really low." Go figure! Anyway, I came home. Kim came over and did my hair...THANK YOU KIM!!! After that, while I was cleaning up, I started having contractions. "OH CRAP, OH CRAP, OH CRAP!", were my exact thoughts!!! I do not want to have this baby until the 17th of March. I'm not ready yet. So, I took a shower and took a nap the same time as Connor (which ended up being a 4 hr. nap)and I seem to feel, for the most part, better. PHEW!!!! Let's keep our fingers crossed!
