My carrot...(also 2 posts in the same day! that never happens)

Yesterday at work I was talking to a coworker about how the time was flying by. I mentioned to her that all I wanted was for it to be 3:30 so I could go play with my baby girl. My coworker replied with "She's your carrot!" And of course, me being the blonde that I am was like "huh, like a rabbit loves carrots?" She then went on to explain to me that it was an old expression that back in the day people would dangle carrots in front of a horse to keep it moving. As I thought about it, she really is "my carrot". She keeps me going, she is the reason I keep on trucking on 0 hours of sleep. I love this expression. And I love that I have been blessed unmeasurably by my little princess. So this post is for you, my precious little carrot! :)


On a lighter note...my little love comes to work with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays and she is sh a good little baby usually. She is such a joy to everyone at the office and they always ask where she is when she isn't at work with me.

This Thursday though my little Sugar Butt decided it would be awesome to poopie on Mommy...I was covered in poop all over my dress, so bad that I had to go home for lunch to change! Thank goodness I don't live far!

Here is a picture of my little love with me at work...what an angel baby sleeping while mommy works hard for the $$!




Love!

Bath Time!

I have more pictures!

The first bath I ever gave Molly Grace at home when she came home from the hospital was not the most fun I ever had...she screamed the entire time and I remember thinking to myself that bath time was not going to be a fun thing, but oh has that changed!

My little princess is loving the bath these days and crying when I take her out!

She'll probably kill me later for posting little naked baby pictures of her, but they are too adorable not to share!

Enjoy!

come back and see us soon!

The Nursery

Molly Grace has been sleeping in my room with me in a bassinette since I brought her home from the hospital, but thanks to Sheena, who is letting me use Addison's crib, I now have her room finally put together! This was one of those things that most people get to do waaay before baby arrives, but because of my situation and moving, i just got to wait a little longer to have everything completed! I'm so happy with the results! Thanks to everyone who voted way back when on the bedding....it definitely was a winner! I will leave you with a few pictures!

Here's hoping she will soon learn that she sleeps in her own bed all night and learns that you can sleep 8 hours before having to eat again!

Oh the joys of parenthood!











there is still work to be done, but i love it! now, if only i could get my room to look that good!

Love always,
Mary Beth and Molly Grace

New Title...New Life

I apologize to anyone (if there still is anyone left) that reads my blog. I haven't updated in so long! Life has taken the biggest and, excuse my grammar, bestest turn and I have had absolutely no time to blog. Sooo much has been going on. We still do not have cable or internet at the place so I can't blog at home!

Little Miss Molly Grace is 2 months old, actually 10 weeks today! She is soo big and beautiful and such a blessing.

I am now officially a working mom. I went back to work last week, but to a new job. I am now the Program Coordinator for the Barrow County Home Delivered Meals program. It is an exciting and busy job! I am still learning the ropes, but hope to have it mostly figured out pretty soon. I am also working on not missing Molly Grace too much. It is hard to leave her, but at least it is with family, my cousin Jana is doing a wonderful job with her!

Life with little miss is amazing. Everyday it amazes me how much my love for her grows. She has started to smile all the time, and cry less. Her smile literally makes my heart feel happy. I can't imagine life without her. She has grown out of all her newborn clothers, and most 0-3 months clothes. She is wearing 3 month outfits! We went to the doctor on Friday for her 2 month appointment and she weighed 12 pounds, 11 ounces, 23 1/2 inches long! She is in the 90th percentile, which correct me if I'm wrong, means she is above average! I'll take it though, she is so healthy.

These next couple of months are going to be insane. Labor day weekend was the start to the madness. I left MG for 8 hours for the first time that weekend, for Sheena and Lyle's engagment party and then the next day I attended my cosuin David's wedding to his bride Heather. I was able to catch up with alot of my friends that day and it was a beautiful wedding. Also, Molly Grace got to meet some of her mommy's friends from college and even high school as well as meet some of her family!

I am the maid of honor in two weddings in November so the next couple of months will be filled with showers, parties, a weekend at the beach, and probably the spending of alot of money. Anyone got any they want to donate to me? LOL! I am soo excited that my baby sister is marrying Dusty! It is going to be beautiful! Sheena's wedding should be absolutely beautiful too!

Molly Grace is going to be dedicated at a baby dedication at church this upcoming Sunday at Hebron Baptist Church. I am so excited in commiting her life to the Lord and committing mine to raise her in a Godly home as a Godly example to her. My prayer is that she see good and God in all situations. I only hope that she knows how much her mother and her heavenly Father love her.

I will leave you with a few recent photos! Check them all out of facebook! www.facebook.com/marybethtoles!
