Cousins

Sunday we went to Memaw and Papaw Doug's to take family pictures with Doug's family.  Mark, Jana, Avery and Addy were able to come down and this was the first time they've met Korbyn.  The girls were so excited to see her, it was so sweet!  Amazingly Memaw was able to catch Korbyn smiling when Avery was holding her!!!  I can't even catch it!  For the pictures we took one huge group picture, then were able to take immediate family pictures as well.  I can't wait to see them!

It's really depressing trying to find something to wear for things like this.  Everyone wore jeans and any kind of white shirt.  I thought to myself that I could just wear the button down shirt I wore for our engagement pictures...HA!  I could get it on, but it wasn't pretty.  And of course I'm still in maternity pants, I think my hips doubled in size!  I know it hasn't even been two weeks yet and everything will slowly get back to (or close to) normal with time, but UGH!!!  I told Colton I could make some extra money this holiday season by playing Santa Claus with my bowl full of jelly!  Oh the joys of motherhood :)

I finally got her birth announcement in the paper.  It has to be in by Tuesday before noon and when did I send them the email?  12:01.  I finished feeding her around 10 a.m. this morning and played with the idea that I could get her dressed and get a picture in plenty of time.  OMG!  It took an hour to get a picture of the little fart.  She was fine and then everytime I would set her down her hands would either go straight up to her face or she would start fussing and it was super hard to accomplish this task by myself.  These were just a few of the ones I actually took.  I love the second one but when I would try to take that paci out of her mouth she would start flipping out so I chose the first one for her announcement.  I would have loved to have one with her eyes open but no such luck.  I also thought about waiting another week hoping she would fill out this outfit a little better.  Jennifer's mom, Nancy gave her the camo onesie and I added the pants because without them it was so obvious that it was too big for her.  I even thought about getting some clothespins to make it fit better lol!  But I think I did a pretty good job of tucking everything back right before I would take the picture.  I can't wait until she starts fitting in more of her clothes!
