The sweetest

She is the sweetest baby ever!
She hardly ever cries and she's a great sleeper (knock on wood)
We really hope she stays this way.

We love her

Remi's First Motion Picture!!

Since most of our family live pretty far from us. Here's a video of Remi making baby noises and grumpy faces like her mom ;)

A Day to Remember

Well its official! Abby and I welcomed into the world a beautiful baby girl named Remi Kimiko Spina. She came at 12:36am Sunday morning weighing 6lbs 14oz and 18.75 inches long. She's a petite little thing and absolutely perfect. Speaking personally that couple minutes during the actual birth were beyond words. I felt so many emotions all at once it was nearly overwhelming. First was the love, falling in love the minute I saw her. Then I look at Abby and feel so proud of her. BTW.....She did an amazing job! The woman was born to be a mommy. Finally in the midst of all the emotions I felt a sense of responsibilty. To love and look over her and protect her from all the evils in the world. All the calls from family and friends were appreciated dearly. We have great family and great friends. We got home today from the hospital and are quite tired but honestly we cant stop smiling. We just stare at her and wonder what she's thinking. Thanks again for all the love! Abby will be uploading pics on a regular basis so stay tuned.

Happy 2 Years

2 Years ago today Jeff and I met... It's a funny story!
I was living with my BFF Kim (and her family) at the time. She had just got home from running some errands and told me to hurry and get dressed cause she wanted to take me to the Fire Station where her husband was working overtime; they had someone they wanted me to meet. So we went over to the station, and there he was sitting at the table in his fireman shorts and sweatshirt! I thought he was cute and nice. He didn't seem too interested, it seemed I was just another girl to him. He was 33 years old, he'd met enough girls and was perfectly content with being single for the rest of his life (little did he know he just met the love of his life).
A few days later he left for Costa Rica for a few weeks and I probably didn't hear from him for about a month after we first met. He finally calls and we chatted, getting to know each other a bit over the phone. We go on a date, dinner at Tokyo Garden and back to his house to watch a movie. Dinner was good. He was a Gentlemen (and still is) and opened all the doors for me! He was kinda touchy-feely... I don't like to be touched! And he called me Babe! Maybe he forgot my name?
We go back to his house to watch a movie and holy crap...literally! I totally got the "ria" from eating at Tokyo Garden. I couldn't go "ria" at his house on our first date. Are you kidding me? So I held it and got the worst stomach ache ever and totally fell ASLEEP on his couch!
I must have been really fun at dinner cause he called me again! I couldn't believe it!
I'm sure it was his best first date ever!

Happy 2nd Anniversary of our first meeting Heff-a
Love you!

We rearranged

We moved Remi's room around and it looks so much better

Don't ya think?
The letters are straight too!
So Cute!

Photos

I need to know who is serious about having my SIL (Kelly) take your family pictures. Please email me at abbymccaleb@gmail.com if you would like her to and I will pass the information along to her. I believe they are coming to town the weekend of October 18th & 19th.

I want to be skinny

Is it time to birth this child yet? Cause I'm really wanting to wear cute clothes again. I went to Target today and for some stupid depressing reason I wandered through the clothes section.

I WANTED TO BUY EVERYTHING!
Maybe it was just me not wanting to not wear maternity clothes anymore, but I thought everything was soooo cute! I couldn't stand it, I had to force myself to stop looking. I could have loaded up my cart with all kinds of cute things!


This shirt is really cute in person



So are these jeans

It made me sad and it made me want to ask my Dr at my appt tomorrow if he would please just take this little baby out of me already. You think he'd go for it? Maybe I could make him some cookies or brownies or maybe I will just cry and he will feel sorry for me.
Maybe if I do some jumping jacks she will come out?!

MMR

In case anyone is interested CNN reported on September 3rd that the MMR shot does not cause Autism.

We met Dr Shah (the Pediatrician) today and we really liked him and his staff was really nice. We thought his office could be a little nicer but I'd rather have a really good Dr with an ok office than a crappy Dr with a really nice office. And I've heard really good things about him.

The Baby's Room

My BFF gave us her baby furniture, it's still in really
great shape after 3 boys! She saved us a ton of money
and we owe her big time

I know... the letters are crooked and not centered on the wall.
Jeff has to fix it, you get the idea though!

I love her bedding!

Yeah... so... now we just need a baby!
Maybe next week or the week after?
Let's just hope she doesn't come after her due date!
