Two months old!!

Hello from the Hagoods! What a month it has been. Julia is now 2 months old. I can hardly believe it. She is growing and amazing us each and every day. As you can see from the pictures, our little sweet pea is now grinning up a storm. I was finally able to get some pictures of her smiling- it's much harder than you would think!

Boy, is she growing! Julia is now 10 lb 14 oz

and is almost 24 inches long. What a big girl! She's going to be very tall, I think.

Among other milestones, Julia is grinning, cooing and making all kinds of noises. She's going to be quite the talker. She is quite observant and doesn't miss much going on around her. Her little eyes are focusing on others more and she'll hold your gaze longer. She holds her head up and pushes against you with her feet. She has discovered her ears and loves to hold and pull on them. She is also a hair twirler, like her mommy.

More to come... stay tuned!

Growing like a weed...

I cannot believe our baby girl is almost 6 weeks old!

Each day seems to bring a new discovery. We've noticed Julia will smile at our voices or at our faces at times- its really a smile (not just gas)! She can hold her head up, for what seems like forever. She is starting to coo and make those cute baby sounds- even in her sleep!

I cannot wait for her 2 month appointment at her doctor to see how she has changed and grown. More updates and pics to come...

More pictures of our little girl...

Here's some more pics of Julia... she's very photogenic!

Daddy's little girl...

Two weeks old!

Well, we had Julia's two week check-up this past Monday. She's a healthy, growing girl! She now weighs 8 lb 7 oz. When we left the hospital, she was down to 7 lb 9 oz. The doctor was very pleased to see her weight had gone up.- she's a good little eater! She also grew 1/2 an inch. We are now nearing three weeks of age. I cannot believe how fast time is going already. My maternity leave is almost halfway through. I don't think I ready to go back yet.





Here are some pics we've taken of our little sweet pea since she's come home...

This is the sign my OB-GYN has in his office of all the babies that have been born... there's our little girl!

Welcome Baby Julia!

On Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 3:43 pm we welcomed Julia Marie Hagood into the world. She weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Below are some pics of her. Andrew and I are trying to adjust to being parents and we are all learning a lot! Julia seems to be quite a good baby. She loves to sleep (more so during the day than at night) and doesn't fuss too much. What a life changing event!

Still Waiting...

Well, my due date has come and is passing and no Baby Julia... Stay posted though. If she doesn't come on her own, the doctor is thinking I will be induced February 22nd. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully we will know more then. Stay tuned... once Julia is born Andrew will post the information on our blog. Thank you for all the positive thoughts!

Home Stretch!

Yikes, less than a month to go! Time is flying. This week I reach 36 weeks. I cannot believe its already here. Less than a month and we'll have our baby girl. The nursery is almost ready, my bag is getting packed, clothes are being washed and put away, and our home seems to have more baby things everyday. The poor pups are beginning to wonder what is going on!

I've finally added a couple of pics of me- mommy-to-be. These pics were taken right after Christmas. Since then, Baby Julia has definitely dropped and is much lower. I've also gotten bigger, believe it or not!

We'll see how much longer I make it! I plan on working right up until the baby comes. February 13th is just around the corner...
