Precious Little Girl

When my friend Val and I were little, our mom's were in a playgroup together. So our moms, plus two other ladies that were in the playgroup, went to visit Val and Jayda last night. This has been the first time I have seen Jayda since our visit in the hospital 2 weeks ago. My mom is holding her right in the picture below. Look how precious and content she is. Unfortunately, this was the only time that she was content for the rest of the night. Poor Val and Brent were in for a long night after I left around 9:00.

I had made the book below for Val and Brent called "12" months, "12" moments. It is a book for them to fill in with pictures of each month of Jayda's first year. I got this idea from cousin Patty when she made a book similiar to this for her daughter Sarah. So I tweeked her idea a bit and made it a theme of Baby's first year picture book. I thought it would be a perfect gift for my friends that are having babies. (Sorry Patty, I looked through your archives on your blog to link it to your page, but I coulnd't find it!)

Trick or Treat...

smell my feet....I was singing that song the whole time I was making this card. I bet you are singing it now too!

I had just added this fun googly-eyed pumpkin card to my Etsy store this morning. There is another one that looks just like it, except that it says "Happy Halloween" on it.

Come and visit my store...and remember, there is FREE shipping for the month of September. Time is running out!

Meet Jayda Grace Rutherford!

We all have been waiting for this baby to arrive! My friends, Val and Brent, have been trying several years to have a baby, and now their dreams came true! Baby Jayda was born on Wednesday September 16th, 2009 at 5:51 pm. She was 8 1/2 Ibs, and 18" long. Val's belly must have been all baby!

I got to meet the new proud parents and baby Jayda last night at the hospital. I got to hold a 12-hour old baby! That was so exciting! She is perfect. I am so happy for Val and Brent. They are so happy that this day finally arrived!

I am planning on visiting them again on Sunday, so I hope to have more pictures to share!
