Home, Sweet, Home

Home is now sweeter than ever since Taylor's arrival! She is an absolute joy and such a good baby....she's such a content little thing and is actually letting us get some sleep here and there! She has stolen our hearts and we are so thankful that God has given us a beautiful, healthy little girl. I'm not sure if it gets any sweeter than this! Here's what's been happening the last two weeks!

P.S. Sorry for the LONG delay in updating the blog...our internet has been (and still is) on the fritz (great timing!!!). Hopefully all will be fixed soon though!

One last belly pic - on our way to the hospital! My water broke at 1:20 AM Sunday, November 30th - Taylor's due date!!

First family pic the day after Taylor was born!

Love her to bits!

I'm thinking she may not like the hat?!?

Car ride home...

Home, sweet, home....at last!!

Precious baby girl!

I'm not sure what to think about all these pictures my mommy keeps taking!

Our little angel!

Holding mommy's ring...

Taylor is here!!!!

This is Dayle posting for Jan.  I wish I could capture how absolutely adorable Taylor is.  These pictures don't do her justice!  I'm sure Jan will have plenty to add when they get home and settled in.

I think we are ready......

I'm not sure it's ever really possible to be "ready", BUT our bags are finally packed and the nursery is almost complete! It's hard to believe that we are down to the last two weeks of this pregnancy and that Taylor could arrive at any minute!! We can't wait!!

Happy Halloween!

We were SO excited that Karoline came all the way to N. Little Rock to Trick-or-Treat at our house! She definitely got our award for the CUTEST zebra ever!! We also learned that there is NO doubt she inherited the Cosh "sweet tooth"....she promptly dropped her healthy fruit snacks for some candy and as you can see had no trouble polishing it off!!

Showered with love!!

We've been absolutely showered with love by our friends and family as we get ready for Taylor's arrival! My co-workers had a shower for us on October 15th and several of our dear friends hosted another shower for us in North Little Rock on October 26th. We have SO much to be thankful for!!

NLR Shower Hostesses - Elaine, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Partridge (me) (Beth and Mrs. Wingfield could not be there - but we really appreciate all they did to help with such a lovely shower!) As you can see, everything was beautifully perfect down to the tiniest details!!

Shower at Arkansas Children's Hospital!

This is about the extent of my craftiness and thankfully I had some help along the way! Mom, Cindy and I painted these canvases for Taylor's room!


The finished products....haven't decided where to hang them yet though!


Here's a sneak peek of the nursery bedding/furniture...It's finally starting to look like a little girls room....could it be all the PINK?!?!
