Mini Flip books

Here are a couple different themes. The first one could be a boy theme and the second one is a sister theme. Fun, fun, fun!!! :)

Mini Flip books

I love these mini flip books I just had to show all of you. This is going to be one of my hubby's first Father's Day gifts. This is the books cover.



This is the inside of the book. I'm going to put pictures and journal on the squares and triangles.



My sister is making these to help pay for her missions trip this year to the Philippines. She is going to the city of Bacolod, that is where the Rosmarino family is. My sister has been called to go for a month and serve the Lord with her love for kids at their house. She is going in August, when I think about her leaving for a whole month I get super sad but then I have to remember this is what the Lord has called her to do. She is selling these super cute Mini Flip book's for $10.00, if you are interested in purchasing one please let me know. She can do just about any theme you could think of. Please keep her in your prayers.

Thank you,

Awwwww.......

My hubby is so sweet. The first thing I thought was awwww.... that's so sweet. He really did take great care of me for the whole nine months I was pregnant. I checked off the ones I did #7 has a line through it cause it said DON"T do house work. HA yeah right. I can't do #5, but it was sweet to suggest it he knows how I love my baths!! I thank the Lord everyday for him!!

Michael's delivery story

I woke up at about 12:45am thinking I had a really bad tummy ache. I thought about a hour later I wonder if I'm having contractions. I went to the computer and looked up "what is a contraction feel like?" I read all about what they were suppose to feel like, but they didn't hurt. It said to time them I tried but it was a little hard to do by myself. I finally woke my hubby up after being awake for an hour and a half. I told him I thought I was having contractions and could he time them for me. They got a little stronger, but still didn't hurt. He timed a few and started getting our bags in the car he told me they were 5 minutes apart and lasting about 40 seconds long. I took our puppy out to go potty and off we went to the hospital. We had a lot of fun on the way there, we were joking, laughing (in between contractions) and talking about our baby boy coming. When we got to the hospital I got into the bed an all hooked up, the nurse checked me and said I was at a 4 to 5. I got a big smile on my face looked at the hubby and said "sweet I'm half way there." Within the hour I had gotten the epidural, I convinced myself I wasn't going to stress out about the pain and just deal with it ( I HATE needles) but to my surprise I didn't even feel it!! So far so good!! The nurse came in and checked me again I was at a 6 or 7. I feel asleep for a little while and convinced the hubby to close his eyes too about an hour later the nurse came in and checked me again and asked me if I felt like pushing. I told her "I have a sensation in my bottom." She checked me said "you are ready to have this baby." Frank popped up and we got ready. I pushed for 20 minutes and the little man was born. He had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and that was the scariest few seconds of my life!! The look on Frank's face was a face I never want to see again!!! They got his lungs cleaned out and that little cry was the best noise I have ever heard in my life!!! Michael James McGuigan was born April 20th, 2009 at 8:20am. He was 8lbs 7oz and 21inch long. The awesome journey now begins!!

Michael James McGuigan is here!!

Real quick I want to just update everyone!!

My little guys is finally here!! Michael James McGuigan was born April 20th, 2009 at 8:20am.

I will be back in the next few days to post his birth story. Thank you for all your prayers, we are the happiest mommy and daddy ever!!!

39 Weeks today!!

Hip...Hip...Hooray!!! I am getting closer and closer to having a little (my doctor said he is predicting Michael to be about 8 1/2 pounds... but that was last week) baby boy in my arms. I stopped working last Monday and wow what a difference that has made!! I have gotten to spend lots of time with family and friends and catch up on last minute things. We are now just playing the waiting game. I'm enjoying resting and nesting, I have heard from MANY people to enjoy the resting cause after he gets here thats it until he's 18. I will keep everyone updated on his status. Have a great week!!!

Almost there!

Frank and I went to a park to take our "belly pictures." I had the greatest time while my friend Bethany set up cute things for me to do and captured some really great memories.



Here are a couple pictures that were taken. I haven't gotten them all yet but I thought I would share a a couple that I got. I am almost 35 weeks along. I can't wait to meet my little man. I had a doctor apt today and he said if he had to guess Michael's weight right now he would guess about 7 pounds. Frank was 7 pounds when he was born and I was 6 pounds, so I was kinda hoping that would be the case with Michael. I guess we will see. :)

Valentines Day of relaxation.

I know this is a little late.... but this house is running a little behind!! :)

Unlike last year and our three hour disaster dinner we decided this year we would stay home together and organize Michael's room. We had a lot of fun cuddling and just hanging out the two of us. Frank brought home flowers, chocolate, a super soft teddy bear, and a really romantic card. It was a perfect day!

4D Pictures

This was probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my whole life!! My child in 4D. It was an awesome experience to witness my baby moving around in my belly up close. We got pictures a cd with pictures, a dvd, and a bunch of printed pictures. When I got home last night I watched the dvd and I just couldn't believe that was my baby moving around in there. Then when my hubby got home we watched it again and you should have seen the sparkle in his eye. When it was over he said "babe, we really are having a baby." I looked at him and laughed and said "really you couldn't tell by the baby bump that use to be my belly, and all those kicks you feel." I was teasing but it was so funny!! Here are some of the 4D pictures of our baby Michael.


Here is my little boy. So comfy and cozy in there.


We saw him open and close his eyes and his mouth several times, that was very neat!


I can't wait to see you in a few short months! Love you baby boy!!

Christmas morning

Here I am Christmas morning with the best gift my husband and I could have ever given each other.... Michael James McGuigan!! Things are really good here, we are both working a ton. The Lord is so good though cause we have a lot more time with each other than we ever have in our almost 10 years of being together. Both are job hours are really similar so it is such a blessing!! We have put almost all of the baby furniture together and are excited about nesting. Please continue to pray for us!

Have a wonderful weekend!!
