Norah Rae Malone

Well, she is finally here! Norah was born on February 17th at 8:20pm weighing 8lbs 3oz and was 20 inches long. We love her! She is well worth the nine months of heck and the last two weeks of absolute misery. The delivery was about 2 minutes long and the recovery has been a breeze. Now if we could just get her to sleep through the night...

Count Down

Well, less than two weeks and little Norah should be here! I guess all of that is yet to be seen. Thought you'd enjoy some of the things we're gathering to get ready for the baby.



















This is a picture taken tonight. Matt and I are both starting to get nervous about how anything as huge as my belly could ever possibly return to a reasonable size!





These pictures do not do justice to the girls' room. It is so cute! My Mom is making bedding for the baby that matches Merrody's duvet cover. Also, notice the darling mobile (it says Norah, kind of hard to tell). A girl in my ward made it for me without even knowing it would match the room! Another very great girl in my ward threw a shower for me. The first I've had since Merrody was born! It was awesome!P.S. I took these pictures with the lights on while Merrody was asleep--do you think I'm a good Mom?

I got so many cute bows at my shower, but I think this is my very favorite. Jami Jackson made it for me! I love it Jami! Now could you please make me 100 more?!

Here are a couple of my projects. I made this quilt the other day. My favorite feature is that it matches her carseat! Can you see it? The car seat is red and brown. I also made the baby a hooded towel so she wouldn't feel left out when the other kids use theirs. It might be a year or two before it fits!
