Guess who’s already one month old today?! The month has flown by, yet it feels like Miss Annistyn has been a part of our lives for forever. Of course life has changed, but in a crazy kind of wonderful way. To sum it up, she pretty much rocks our world! Remember this post, where I…

Chopped! Hello, short hair.
Two weeks with a newborn, and I was already sick of my heavy, long curls. It was time to say goodbye to long hair and hello to a new mommy haircut! Here’s the before: And after: My head feels so much lighter, and what’s left of my hair takes about 1/4 the amount of styling…
Just poppin’ in.
Sorry I’ve been a lousy blogger lately. If it makes you feel any better, this isn’t the only thing I’ve let slide. My clothes have been wet in the washer for the past three days. It’s probably time to flip them to the dryer, or better yet, rewash to get the wet stink out. Clean…
The story of Annistyn’s birth day.
This story begins on Tuesday night, December 27, 2011. We checked into the hospital at 8 p.m. and induction took its course. The dreaded IV First things first, they started an IV. Ouch! I’ve only had one before in my life, getting my wisdom teeth out, but that was in the elbow, not the hand….
Sleeping beauty.
Our little gal seems to be growing and changing every day. Here she is in a milk coma yesterday morning. Those cheeks! Our little sleeping beauty. So, so blessed.
Meet Willow Annistyn.
After 17 long hours of labor, Willow Annistyn made her appearance at 9:51 p.m. December 28, weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz. and measuring 19.25″ long. She already has us wrapped around her finger. We left the hospital Friday morning. Here she is all buckled and bundled up. Mommy’s feeling awesome. And daddy’s completely in love….
Merry & bright.
2011 was a different kind of Christmas. First off, we laid low and celebrated in the coziness of home. Even though the weather has been freakishly nice and warm in North Dakota (around 40!), we still didn’t want to venture too far from the hospital. But we enjoyed the calm. Christmas Eve consisted of…
My parents are…
The coolest. Ever. I found this little surprise in the mail today. At nearly 38 weeks pregnant, it’s exactly the boost I needed. (And my mom so should’ve been a copywriter like me! She’s a clever lady.) As promised, here’s a bump (um… if you can even call it that anymore!) photo for your viewing…
Baby update: Full term!
I’ve just passed the 37-week mark. Hello, full term! Aside from some minor heartburn and waddling (baby’s head is very low), I’m feeling fabulous. She’s weighing in at about seven pounds. As a result of my cyber Monday shopping, Annistyn got some adorable new clothes (compliments of Old Navy): Isn’t that fur vest simply fabulous?!…
Nesting? Always.
I’ve been nesting my whole life. Don’t believe me? This is three-year-old Angie organizing the kitchen cupboards… because I thought it was fun. (Still do today.) So am I nesting? I’ll never know. Because nothing’s changed. Ps. I’ll be full term in two days. Two days! I can’t help but wonder if baby Annistyn will…
