Busy Week!

Well so far it has been a busy week for Isla and I. We hung around the house Monday and Tuesday and tried to get some things back in order. Yesterday we had a very long, but successful, day out of the house. I had a few things I needed to do so Isla and I headed out to Oak Grove to pick up my mom. We stopped by the daycare where both my mom and Nana work to visit. I finally had a chance to meet all the babies my mom talks about all the time and it is hard to imagine Isla will be that big some day! Then we headed to drop off my car to have a recall fixed and the oil changed. After we dropped off the car I had to be measured for a dress and we went to the Independence Center to have some lunch. We went to Old Navy and New York and Company to look for some new clothes but I'm not quite ready to buy anything yet :) We picked up my car and headed back to Oak Grove where my friend Jacquie and her husband Jason stopped by to meet Isla. They are expecting their first child, a boy, in May! Overall Isla did really well on her outing.

Today we met Josh for lunch in Overland Park and on our way home we went to Target. I have been really nervous about going somewhere without help but it turned out just fine and we had a little mother-daughter shopping trip!

We have a weekend full of company coming up. Barb (Josh's mom) and his aunt Gina are coming our way to hang out with us for the weekend and my friend Michelle may be stopping by on Saturday to meet Isla as well. We are looking forward to all the visitors!

First Shopping Trip

Yesterday Isla, my mom and I went on a shopping trip to a huge consignment sale in Lee Summit. They have one in the fall and spring each year and if you wait until the last day, you can get things at 50% off. So you can literally buy things for $1.50! We looked at some toys and things but I think you need to go on the first day to get the good stuff when it comes to those items. Everything that was left was pretty used and I didn't see anything worth the price so we went shopping for clothes. We found her a dress that she is going to wear for her pictures tomorrow and some fun things for when she is a bit bigger. She slept most of the shopping trip and all through lunch. Overall our first outing was a success. I am still nervous to go completely alone but I will be attempting that on Friday when I head up to University of Phoenix so she can meet the people I work with. They are all really excited to see her!

Her pretty dress for her pictures....

And Daddy's favorite!

We are also going to have her pictures taken tomorrow. We are having them done by the same photographer that did our wedding photos. They gave us a lifetime certificate to come back and have pictures taken with no sitting fee. We really loved our wedding photos and we are excited to have our family pictures taken! We will send out the link when we have it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! We have been spending the last 3 weeks adjusting to life with our new baby girl. Josh went back to work this past Monday so Isla and I have been hanging out all week. We also switched over to formula so that has been a small adjustment and has left us wonderful surprises in her diaper! Wow! We took it pretty easy this weekend and enjoyed some family time together. My mom and dad were kind enough to watch Isla last night and Josh and I went out to eat and went to see the movie Valentine's Day. The dinner was great but I definitely had higher expectations for the movie with all the big names in it but it was a great night. Isla, my mom and I are planning to go to a huge consignment sale tomorrow. We went in the fall but we didn't know what sex the baby was so we only picked up a few things so we are excited to go tomorrow and pick out all things girl! Here are a couple pictures of Isla in her V-Day outfit.

This one is a little dark but I thought it was super cute....
