Smilin'

Giving momma a smile

One of his first trips outside.

Sleeping with momma's afgan that's over 25 years old...looks like his momma here.

Not too much is really going on right now, just typical stay at home mom stuff. We did have company over Sat. night which was really fun. Our friends Ryan and Blanca and their little baby Lola came over for dinner and cards. Lola is just a little older than Hunter so we've already decided that they will date and marry...lol. :) This week we don't have too much going on but we do have a dr's appointment for Hunter which I'm not looking forward to because he has to get his shots. I hope I don't cry more than him, but I'm not promising anything. Overall, Hunter is just the best baby. He's already sleeping 6 hours a night and is smiling away. I just love it. Here are some pictures of him and even one of Hunter and I.

Things right now are going really well! Hunter is doing so good. He is growing so much I just can't believe it. He's just the best thing that has ever happened to me. Colt is also doing well. He is really enjoying his job which is really great and he loves being a daddy. I'm also doing well, a little sleep deprived but that's ok. Next month Hunter and I are going to Columbus OH and meeting my mom and sis as well as Kelly and Cindy for a weekend. It will be so nice. Then at the end of the month I'm going home cause my little sis is graduating high school. I just can't believe it. It feels like I just graduated high school but it's really been seven years. Overall my life is great and I owe it all to God.

A couple weekends ago, Colt Hunter and I went to WV for the weekend and it was great. Hunter did really well on the 9 hr trip to WV but we were all ready for the trip to be over. Friday, we visited with the great-grandmas and then with Jim, Kelly, Steve, and Alex. Steve and Kelly even gave Hunter a huge Coca-Cola bear that is like 10 times his size. Also, Kelly highlighted my hair which was great cause it really needed it! Saturday, mom and I went to the new Wal-Mart, very nice, and then Cindy, Caleb and Hunter Luke came over to visit and brought us diapers and wipes! Sunday was church and everyone seemed to think Hunter was the cutest thing which I have to agree! Monday we had to go back but I was so happy we got to come and visit. One thing that was also nice was that I actually got to hold my baby on Monday...ha ha ha. With grandparents great-grandmas friends and family he was hardly put down at all...needless to say he's gonna be a little spoiled.

Ok, I've been trying to make a post for days but let me tell you being a mom is really hectic and I'm lucky if I can get a shower. Even though I stay really busy, Hunter is the best thing that has happened to me. He is doing so well also. He had a little colic to begin with but we got some new bottles and now he's great. He's also started to grin and the biggest thing is that he rolled over the other night. I jut can't believe how big he's getting.
Another good thing is that this Thursday we're going to WV and I'm so excited. It's gonna be great to see everyone and to show off my boy.

New Baby

So far, my experience of being a mom is great; although, I've had my momma to help me for the past two weeks. I'm sure though, that when she leaves that it will still be great, just a little more tiring.
Hunter is a very good baby he's just had a lot of problem with colic and is still trying to get the difference between night and day. He has his first Dr's appt. this Thursday so we'll see how everything is going.

Hunter William Guthridge

So, he's finally here and I'm so happy. this blog isn't going to be very long cause taking care of a newborn is a lot of work. Here are some specifics on my little man. Hunter William Guthridge was born on March 1, 2007 at 4:09 pm. He weighed 8lbs. 9 oz. and was 21 1/2 in. long. He was very awake and alert from the moment he was born, and I must say that he's the best looking baby I've ever seen. :) But, I am his momma...

Not Yet

Well, still no baby. There will definitly be one on Friday though. They were hoping that I would go into labor before now, but since I haven't I will go ahead and be at the hospital at 6am (blah too early) on thursday for them to induce me. They will probably start me on a pitocin drip and that will start the contractions. So, no matter what Hunter will be here by Friday.
Other news, my family is coming in for the birth and I'm really excited. My mom, dad, and sister are leaving early Wednesday to get here so that they don't miss a thing; although a lot of it will be waiting for them. My dad and my sister are leaving to go back to WV on Sunday, but my mom will be staying for a couple of weeks to help me out and get adjusted to my new life. After that, Colt and I will try to come out when he has at least 5 days off which happens often.
I'm still a little nervous, but this cold that I got over the weekend is helping me not to think about what's coming cause I feel so lousy. I do have another picture from when I was pregnant around Thanksgiving. It's a pic of my friend Blanca, who already had a baby girl Lola, and I showing off our bellies...
