Tub Time!

Matilda's first bath in her new tub. Check out that tummy!

First day at church

Hello Matilda fans! Thanks for joining us today. Matilda made it through sacrament meeting, sort of...and was admired by many in her new little yellow dress that her mommy made. We also tried out the video on our new camera. :)

Matilda Grace Hardy

She's here! Our little Matilda Grace was born on Saturday, October 15th, 2011 at 2:20pm. 8 pounds, 2 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. We are so pleased to have her here! Things are a little disorganized right now so I just put a whole bunch of photos on a picasa album. Feel free to go have a look if you wish. We'll be updating more soon!

Produce Hats

Not the best picture. They look better in real life! :)

Due Date

So today was my due date. No baby yet. Oh well. I made a cute hat and started a crocheted onesie. Maybe I just haven't made anything to her liking yet. I guess I'll keep trying new ones until she picks out one she likes! ("It sounded more plausible than Birdseye")

More Baby Crafties

So I'm sitting around waiting for something BIG to happen, haha. I'm back to my crafting ways of course. I finished all the crochet on the blessing set, (dress, bonnet and booties), so all I have left to do is add the ribbons and roses. HOORAY!! I also did a hat and some legwarmers this weekend.

Mom made the adorable little booties and gave me the extra yarn, with which I did the hat. :)

Little legwarmers. I modified a pattern I found online. They wanted me to use buttons, which I didn't have, so I went for pom poms. (They open a bit at the bottom and top to help get them on). I have no idea how long little legs are, so we'll just have to see if they fit when she gets here! YAY! :)

"I would like to see Montana.."

"Then I will live in Montana. I will marry a round American woman, I will raise rabbits and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck."

Well, here we are in Montana, and I have never been this round in my entire life. I don't think our landlord would look favorably on us raising rabbits, and the Jetta will just have to do for now. But we are so pleased to be here! Lewistown is a pretty small little place in the middle of the state, frankly in the middle of no where.

Abram is really enjoying his work as a Deputy Public Defender. He has a great boss and gets to travel around to various locations in the surrounding counties. His office is right downtown, about a 5 minute walk from our apartment.

The Bank Electric Building. Abram's office is on the 4th (top) floor.

Probably the coolest building in town, the courthouse/county building. Abram goes here frequently for hearings and the like.

Main Street and the beautiful mountains. :)

Anyhoo, we're still settling in and of course getting ready for the (hopefully) soon arrival of Little Miss. I've been to the hospital a few times to meet with my new doctor. It's a great little facility. The OB department was so excited to meet me and they gave me a little tour of their labor and delivery rooms. (Yeah, there are TWO!!)

Our ward here is WONDERFUL! They came the very first night we were here to help us move in, and the sisters are insisting on throwing me a little baby shower. We're very happy to be here and to get to know the area and the people better. I'll try to do my best to keep posting to let everyone know what we're up to. Needless to say, the next big thing will of course be Little Miss. She's practically here!!! :) Miss you all!
