Analynne's 1st Month (Part 1)

As you can imagine, we had a very busy holiday season. Analynne is one month old now, and she has been a very busy girl. We did an early Christmas with Aaron's family, then spent Christmas with my family at Gamelly's (my mom's mom), and also visited the Ayers' side of the family on Christmas day.

My sister, brother and I with our Grandpa & Grandma Ayers.

All the cousins from my Dad's side!

My momma.

Christmas morning!

Our little gift under the tree.

Four generations. G.G. (My Gamelly), Me & Sis, Analynne, & My Momma. Gamelly's mother is living in Ohio making five generations.

Just had to throw this picture in. Very tired and sleeping in Momma's bed. We love her so much!

More to come in Pt. 2!

Newborn Shoot

At one week old, we had our friend Renee Bergeron take pictures of our sweet baby girl. We love them, Thank you Renee!

Analynne Arrives

So it's been almost 3 weeks since our little princess made her debut. My due date was December 13th, and Analynne was born December 15th at 12:01 pm. 7 lbs 4 oz 20 1/4 in and beautiful.

Labor woke me up at 5 am, and we checked into the hospital a little after 8. I was already dilated to 8 cm. Labor was much faster than we had anticipated, but we are so thankful for how well it went. Both mom and baby were healthy and happy it was over! :)

We are so thankful she came when she did. The Lord was so gracious to us through the whole pregnancy. We still are in awe of God's miracle called life.

We do not deserve her, she is a gift, and our prayer is that we remember we are simply stewards of her precious life. We covet your prayers as we strive to raise her in the ways of our Heavenly Father. May she grow up to know His love and His truth.

Welcome Analynne Raine Dickson.

a month later...

Obviously I have not been up for much blogging lately. Here's a quick update!

Excited to have our stroller/travel system! Car seat was the last "needed" item!

Dresser, changing table, diaper champ, rocking chair...

Grandma finished the crib bedding. Crazy Daisy pattern was a complete (& adored!) surprise!

My beautiful Sister in law due Jan. 30th. We won't know until then if cousin is a boy or girl!

39 weeks. Analynne seems quite happy to stay away from the cold for now.

There hasn't been much going on, it just seems like I've been "busy" thinking & preparing for this new adventure. My brain is 100% occupied at all times... and it's exhausting. My apologies for the lame post!

Analynne & I were thrown a total of four amazing showers, where we were completely blessed by many friends & family. Thank you to all who have been so supportive, encouraging and excited for us! We have truly been amazed at God's provision for us as Analynne's arrival draws near.

It seems all is in place, and we are playing the waiting game. Of course there are things I can do, mostly prep for Christmas... clean, clean, clean... blog (or not). Etc. BUT... I'm not feeling up for much more than sleeping, eating and waiting. My "nesting" instinct seems to have come and gone. WAY gone. Ha ha.

Thankfully, the holidays are keeping me distracted, not to mention the many Saturday afternoon Husky games, and now the beginning of the wonderful world of Basketball. We had a great Thanksgiving with a beautiful snow fall, and look forward to a special Christmas with my side of the family at my grandmother's, (G. G.'s) this year in Duvall. It is crazy to think by that time we will have our baby girl in our arms!

Come soon little princess ~ Love, mom
