Baby Pictures

 Taliya eats, sleeps, and whines for more food. She eats all the time. It is tiring. I like to take pictures of her cuteness. 

Baby hands are so tiny and adorable. 

She got some warm sun. 

Hanging out with Dad on the couch. It has been really nice having Jacob home. 

You might think she is cute all the time, but all babies have their moments. I don't really sleep much anymore. I've always heard about that, but it sure us exhausting. 

But I definitely am glad we have her.

Taliya is Here

 I definitely didn't think Taliya would be early, but I really didn't expect her to come on the due date. But, sure enough, early Tuesday morning on July 19th, I went into labor. That was a really rough experience, but it was worth it because now we have a cute little girl hanging out on my lap.

We are very thankful to God because He has blessed us so much.

What to Say...

**I started this post a while ago and never posted it. I don't know why I decided to just go ahead and post it anyway. I just wanted to get rid of some drafts. 

Speaking of not being an author, I don't know what to write about these days. I can't seem to load my pictures onto the computer (probably has something to do with the internet), so I don't know what else to say. 

Well, It's nice and hot here. Our AC doesn't work properly, so we get pretty warm at night, but I got a fan today, so hopefully that works. Eventually, maybe the apartment people will come fix it. 

I'm getting pretty big. I'm trying to walk more. I think I started to get a little lazy, maybe because of the heat, which is why I'm starting to walk in the morning now. Anyway, I'm feeling chubby. Sleeping has gotten kind of rough. Right now I'm really trying to just enjoy these days before Taliya comes. I'm really enjoying just hanging out with Jacob a lot. 

Speaking of hanging out with Jacob, we've gone on a few little fun trips recently. One day while he was working, he called me up and said we should go to Nashville that night because he had the next day off. I had to cancel a doctor's appointment, but I was excited. We spent one night in a hotel and the next day in Nashville. It was really fun adventuring together.

Update: Our AC works now, and we are feeling very thankful for that. We have also gotten some rain since those very dry days. 

We went hiking with Dad, Mom, and Lydia a few weeks ago. It was fun. Here are some pictures Dad sent me from that visit. 

Yike! And people say I'm small?!

Lydia is cool, I think. 

Have a happy Thursday!

😊

A Real Chub Monkey

 

I wonder what Taliya will look like. That's me when I was a kid. I suppose we'll have some chunky little kids. 

One More Week

I have one more week until my due date. It's kind of crazy. I remember when I was first suspecting I was pregnant. It seems like a long time ago, but it also seems like it went by so fast. 

Right now this little girl is moving around so much, which is sort of funny because I just told one of the nurses that she seemed to have slowed down a bit in the last week. Anyway, sometimes she feels like she's going to burst out. Jacob would love if she came today. I am OK with waiting a little longer, but I am starting to really get excited. 

I am feeling so amazed at God's kindness in letting me get pregnant in the first place. I feel that this little girl is such a gift from Him. I do not want to take her for granted, especially knowing that many women cannot have children. 

Well, I guess we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks. 

A random picture of Lydia, Jacob, and me that Dad took a couple weeks ago. I don't really know what we were doing. Being goofy, I guess.
