Very quick

Here's the sneak peek from Finley's newborn session.....

www.shannontreadwayphotography.com & click on the blog! I'll be posting the link to the gallery as soon as she sends it to me! She is also giving us a CD with all the pics on it, so we can print whatever we want! Love this girl & she does awesome work! My Christmas cards might actually make it in time...I hope???? Can't leave you without a pic of "the hair!"

Yes, we are crazy!!!

Call us crazy, but we are very excited to announce that we had our 1st litter of bulldogs this past Saturday! We had 4 girls & 1 boy...all are healthy & doing great! Maggie did great through her c-section & is a very good mom. Thankfully, our good friend, Mandy has Maggie & the puppies until we get back from Christmas in TN. We tried keeping them, but it was waaaay too much trying to feed puppies every 2 hours & Finley whenever she decides to eat. Jimmy & I were both up & it wasn't doing any of us any good...too much grumpiness in a happy house for us!


Here are some pictures Mandy & I took of our beautiful baby girl! We had fun playing dress-up, but she didn't appreciate it too much...we will try more later. I did have some professional newborn pics done last week & you know I'll be posting those as soon as I get them! I found this awesome photographer in Little Rock & she got some great shots, even though Finley didn't want to sleep!



We are hitting the road to Franklin on Saturday & it won't come soon enough!! I'm going to see if I can talk Jimmy into leaving Friday???? I'm soooo excited for the rest of my family to meet Finley & get lots of lovin'....like she needs more. I am also meeting Sam & Liz on Sunday so they can meet her too!!! I can't wait!!! Lots of pics to come!!!

Oops

I had this picture on the last post, but somehow it didn't end up on there??? This is my favorite pic from the hospital, right after they got her all cleaned up....


She is one week old today & it has been the best week of our lives!

Finley Grace is here!!!!

We are so proud to announce that Finley Grace was born Sat. Nov 28th at 3:55pm. She weighed 7lbs 6oz, 20 1/2 in long & has a head FULL of BLACK hair! It is absolutely precious, but very unexpected. Jimmy does have dark hair & all those nice Indian features, so we wondered how much she would get??? Well, she got it ALL!! I would never have believed I would have a baby with a head full of jet black hair...if I wasn't 100% that I spent 2 hours pushing her out, I would question it. Don't get me wrong, I am loving all of her hair & her dark complexion. So far, the only thing I can take credit for is being the carrier & just doing all the hard work...Jimmy gets all the credit for her looks! No, wait, we did find a freckle on her right hand!!! Woo hoo for me!! I am hoping parts of me will come out in her as she grows...I'll take anything at this point! :) We are soooo in love with her & enjoying every single minute. I could enjoy those minutes a little better with sleep, but I know that's not happening for a loooong time. I don't care though, we have waited long enough for this little girl.
I promise to post some more pics soon, but we are trying to get back to a functional level around here. We are getting there & loving every minute of having Finley home!
