Six Weeks of Maddy

It's A Girl!

Madelyn Anne Mahoney blessed us with her arrival into this world on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 2:51 PM. She was 3 weeks, 1 day early and weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces. I had to be induced because of pregnancy induced hypertention. (PIH) She is healthy and beautiful!!

36 weeks and It Could Be Soon!!

This is me at 36 weeks, which also happened to fall on my 26th Birthday. I thought it would be neat to get a picture of me pregnant on my birthday. It could be sooner than later that baby arrives as I have developed gestational hypertension, or high blood pressure that isn't related to pre-eclampsia. It just happens to some pregnant woman in the last few weeks. The doctor will most likely deliver early. We will find out soon as we go to the doctor later this morning. I am ready!!!!!

28 weeks and Counting

This was taken at 27.5 weeks actually- But now I am almost 29- It's going by fast. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

Thank You Aaron and We Will Miss You!

Our dear friend Aaron is leaving on January 2nd for Iraq for a year. We will miss him and are sad he won't be here to see Baby Mahoney. But we are thankful that he is willing to serve for our freedom and we pray for his safe return. We love you Aaron!

A Day at Uncle Ben's and Aunt Sara's

While Lizzy's mom was painting our nursery, Miss Lizzy spent the day at our house too! Mostly we just tried to keep her occupied and happy!

I never knew an 11 month old could make such a mess in such a short period of time! She is busy. busy, busy!

But soon, she got tired and snuggled up and took a nap.

The Nursery Is Done!

Lizzy and her mom came over to help paint and finish the nursery on Monday. They worked hard and I love it! I figured red was a great color for a girl or boy!

Now we just wait. And wait..... but I have a feeling it will be here before we know it!

Our Hunting Adventures

I shot this deer!! Not bad for being 5 months pregnant and having to hike some hills both up and down.

It's a 4x5 muley. Better than last year's if you remember. :)

The best part of being pregnant- hubby has to drag it out.

Lizzy's First Halloween

MOOOOOOO. I'm a Baby Cow!! :)

Did You Know?????

Did you know that no one makes maternity hunting pants? Well, at least no one sells them in Billings, MT. I'm going to go meet Ben this weekend at hunting camp to get my deer, and I had to go buy cheap Wal-mart jeans that are two sizes bigger than my pre-pregnancy size just so I could get them snapped. They are huge in the legs.......*sigh*........oh well. I have been helping mom and dad brand cattle in maternity jeans, but I usually don't get too dirty. They make me stay out out of the alleys and pens. But rolling around in muddy sage brush, I thought I might get dirty.

Baby is good. 20 week ultrasound was last week. Both sets of grandparents went with us and it was very neat for them. Gender is still a surprise; only the doctor knows. Somedays it is very tempting not to call the doctor's office and say...."Oh, just tell me!!" We have begun cleaning out the guest room. We have taken the spare bed down and stored it in the basement. I have ordered the bedding and nursery furniture. After seeing the empty room, this feeling of "Wow, this is really happening" came over me. :)
