Week 7

My beautiful girls are growing so fast. This week they both sadly developed ear infections. It doesn't seem to be phasing them too much though. We enjoyed Mother's Day three different times this week. On Saturday we celebrated with the McDaniel's in Conroe, where we met a restaurant. We had a dinner, let the kids run around and play, and Shelby even got to pet a horse. I then celebrated with my wonderful hubbie and girls on Sunday. My best gift was getting to sleep in till 9:30. I forgot how good it felt to sleep in. I also got a nails gift card and a shopping trip to my new favorite store Charming Charlie's. They also took me out to lunch and made me feel so special, loved and appreciated. I loved my day. We also celebrated with Mimi on Tuesday night by going out to dinner with some of the Gorman group for dinner at Outback. All in all it was a great week with my family.

Week 6

I had to return to work this week. I was so upset to have to leave my girls. I really enjoyed my maternity leave and close family time with them and cannot wait for the summer. I think Nana and Mimi have enjoyed so far since they have gotten to keep the girls. Hayden has also surprised us all as she is already rolling over and did it 3 times this week, she is so good.

Hayden looking sassy and stylish.

Strike a pose!

My cutie girls!

Hayden's 1st Easter with the Gorman clan and first trip to Deer Park.

Hayden also flipped over twice this week. It may have been a fluke deal, but still very impressive. She is very strong for her age and even lifts her head quite a bit.

Week 2

Tummy time for Hayden.

Our first trip to the park. Too bad it started raining and we had to turn around and go home.

Patiently waiting to go to the park.

It's a...

Girl! Hayden Macy Gorman was born at 2:56 pm on March 17, 2010, St. Patrick's Day. She weighed in at 9 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.

It was a long torturing road to get her here. We were suppose to be admitted to the hospital 3 different days before to be induced, but apparently it is a popular hospital and it was always full. That meant I would get bumped. After three attempts my Dr. had me come into her office for an appointment where she successfully put me into labor. After that, since I was already 4-5 cm dilated she sent me over to the hospital to be admitted. Hayden was born 5 hours later.

Gorman Update!

Well I guess it is time to blog again since I have not done anything since our June trip and it is now the end of February. My goodness where does the time go? A lot has changed since June. I am sure you all know we are expecting another baby, known as Boo Boo so far, any day now. I am not due till March 18, but I am already 3 cm dilated and 60% effaced, and the doctor said I will not make my due date.

As you can tell from the pictures we had a very fun summer, and even better holidays. Shelby got to attend her first Astros game and is still asking to go back to the baseball game. She was an adorable ladybug for Halloween and received lots of candy trick or treating around the neighborhood with cousins and friends. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the McDaniel crew coming to our house. We had lots of food and nice family time. We later had it at the in-laws for the GormanThanksgiving. Christmas was a blast again this year. Shelby is really getting into all of the traditions, even though she is not a huge fan of Santa still. She is as rotten as ever and Santa sure took care of her this past year.

I hope to get back in the habit of blogging for this baby. We are very excited about the arrival, especially because we are being surprised with the sex of the baby. Shelby is excited as well and talks to Boo Boo in my belly. Maybe the next time I blog it will be more about this baby! Enjoy til then!
