kissable

there's no time to write these days... too busy kissing these cheeks & soaking up her cuteness!

announcing our sweet new arrival!

well - last time I wrote - I was looking more like this:

and now I'm sitting here looking at this: 

my sweet girl - Matilda Joy Thiessen is finally here!

Born Wednesday morning, November 14 at 3:58am

Weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces

20 inches long

 last night was our first night at home with Matti - and, well we survived! my sweet girl seems to be some what of a cluster feeder every now and then - so she & I are figuring out our routine and Michael is spending lots of quality snuggling time with her when she's not nursing. 

 I am so in love with this little bundle! And I am so thankful for her safe arrival - with a lot of help from Michael, my mom, my nurses and my doctor - who decided to step in and do an emergency c-section (I will write out her birth story eventually and put it on here)

 I know I will write more about her in the next little while, but right now I need to go get a few things done before she's ready to eat again!! And in the mean time I'll just stare at her sweet sleeping face!!

Matilda Joy - Welcome home - you are so loved!

a walk in the park

my wonderful friend Dionne sent me the rest of the photos that she took of us at the beginning of October! Since I'm STILL pregnant and can't post pictures of the baby yet, I figured I'd post these and share the work of my talented friend with all of you :)

happy halloween!

I realized today that I had neglected to buy and carve a pumpkin so..

here's my pumpkin!

happy halloween - I'm secretly hoping to go into labour in the next half hour so I can turn off my lights and eat all my candy myself.. :)

soon there will be 3

at the beginning of the month my dear friend Dionne took some maternity pictures for Michael & I - she is wonderful & talented and we are so thankful that she took these for us.

she sent me these as a preview and then she'll be giving me the rest

i love them already - thank you D! <3
