This Momma Has No Shame

Yes, I know we've already made a post with pictures from Gaelyn's blessing day, but we took some more pictures after everyone left and she is just too adorable to not share them. Just click "Fullscreen" on the black box.

Baby Blessing

Gaelyn is officially blessed. It was a very nice blessing. My bishopric was in the circle as well as Ron, Devin, Paul and myself. Gaelyn didn't fuss or anything, she even fell right asleep with no bursts from either end. Here are some pictures. The dress was made by my mom especially for this event.

Thanksgiving Holiday

Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was a wonderful holiday this year. Most of my immediate family came down for a few days. They didn't come for the turkey though, they came for Gaelyn's blessing. That took place this morning and it went just fine. After sacrament meeting we took some pictures and said our goodbyes and now Paul, Melia, Devin, Ron and Kathryn are on their ways home. I took a quick nap with the baby and now Sasha is asleep and the baby is asleep in my left arm and it is way too quiet. I can sympathize with my mom much more now. Now I know what it is like to have a house filled to the rim with laughter and noise one minute and dead quiet the next. Come back soon. We miss you all dearly.

One month.....ish

Gaelyn has been with us for about a month now and everything is just great. She is gaining weight, eating, pooping and not sleeping. A perfect little baby. Here are some more pictures. I know that is the real reason you are checking today.




Come back soon... wink wink!!

Home again, home again

Sasha and I are finally home. Gaelyn was born on October 19th at 3:52 PM. She was 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. She is very healthy and so is Sash. But I know the real reason for this post is pictures so here they are!!!

Baby Time

Well folks, tomorrow at 1pm is officially baby time. We check into the hospital at 11am tomorrow and get to meet little Gaelyn at 1pm. We're very excited. I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures to post soon. Don't worry, we will make calls as soon as we can. Thank you for all of your prayers!

Hummingbirds

The Hummingbirds have finally returned. We've put up a feeder for them and they are guzzling that sugar-water down! We love to sit and watch them, they're so pretty and honestly the way they fly is really cool. The cats really enjoy watching them too, maybe we'll post a video of them going nuts over hummingbirds.

Twilight

I am a happy girl right now. I just watched a new trailer for Twilight on www.perezhilton.com and I am sooooo excited I can't stand it! I would post it for you guys, but the quality is crappy and I haven't been able to find it anywhere else yet (the official movie site is jammed). Baby this month and my fictional boyfriend next month....good times!!! LOL

Here is a link for a much clearer video, oohlala!

If Easily Offended Don't Read This

So, Glen heard a saying tonight that neither one of us has ever heard before. A customer said it during a conversation they had today, Glen shared it with me and now I am sharing it with all of you. I laughed for a good 5 minutes when I heard it. Even now I'm smiling just thinking about it. Anyhow, here it is. The guy was referencing how the company Glen works for has got he and his wife cornered in a contract. He said "they've got us by the short and curlies" with this contract! Hopefully some of you find that as hilarious as I do, if not, I did warn you so you shouldn't complain. Maybe next time you'll listen to me, everyone else enjoy the laugh...or at least the smile. Short and curlies...LOL!

Big Question For Everyone

Ok, I know we've asked this in the past, but we still don't have our baby girl's name nailed down. Well, the name is set, but the spelling is still up in the air. We thought we had settled on Gaelyn, but we really don't know...all spellings look "off" to me. So, the name (however we end up spelling it) will be pronounced like "Gaye + Lynne" after my mom. Given this info, please please pretty please cast your vote or suggest an alternative spelling to the following:

1. Gaelyn Kate Hannibal
2. Gaelyne Kate Hannibal
3. Galyn Kate Hannibal
4. Galyne Kate Hannibal

Big Baby!!!

Yesterday at the OB appointment I got to feel the baby in Sasha's tummy. The doctor told me where to put my hands on her stomach so I could feel different parts of the baby. It was a really great experience. And I thought, "That baby is big!!!" She has a really hard head...just like her mom. All joking aside, it really was a great experience to know that I am going to hold that baby in a few weeks.

Last Sunday

Sasha and I bought 3 paintings last year but the paintings were just the canvas. We knew it when we bought them and we thought we would get them stretched and life would be great. Things don't always go as you plan though. We called around to find someone who could stretch them but everyone wanted like $80 per painting and that was more than the 3 paintings in the first place so we thought we were just out of luck. So the paintings sat in a closet for many moons until last week we saw some painting stretcher things at Michael's. We gave it a try and it turned out wonderful. The only bad part was that the paintings didn't necessarily go well where we thought they would so I (Glen) had to re-arrange our entire bedroom so that 3 dumb paintings looked good! BLAH!!! Anyway, after all the work the room looks really good so I guess it was worth it. Here is a pic of the paintings.

By the way, I started moving the furniture at 10:00 PM Sunday night.......this must be the "nesting phase" that Sasha makes me go through. BOO!!!!

THE ROOM!!!

Sasha decided one day that the baby room was not up to standard so she decided to rearrange and organize after she washed the baby clothes. In the middle of her project our washer decided to spew water all over the floor so this is what we were left with.

The room has since recovered but we don't have a final picture so you will all have to come visit to see it.

Prego Pictures

Last month Glen and I went to Portland for Melia and Devon's wedding. It was so much fun to see everybody and spend time with family...out of the 115 degree heat of AZ! As you can imagine, we took some pictures during the trip. So, for everyone who has been waiting for some pregnant pictures...enjoy.

During our trip we got to spend a lot of time with Glen's brother Bryce and his wife Sierra...they're tons of fun! On one of our outings we decided to go to a driving range. Golfing is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I couldn't get the ball to go very far...of course it wasn't easy getting my swing around my belly. Glen did great and had tons of fun.

All dressed up for the big day.
