Ava's nursery is complete!

Only four weeks away and my baby girl will be in my arms and our family. I must say these past few weeks while exciting have been extremely uncomfortable to get around or to get a good night sleep.

It's funny how this mild misery is lost in a heap of Joy when your eyes lock with your new born for the first time and you forget all about what you had to go through.

Thank you Lord for this precious gift!

My new nephew Haiden- 2 mos old

Greetings,

James, I, and the kids headed back down to SouthCarolina to visit our new nephew Haden who was an absolute Dream of a baby. We had Haidens brother Gabe and Steven, and cousins Antonio, Amelia, Yonnie, Malcolm, and Bobo running around and still the baby had the most peaceful temperament, did not cry or get rattled in any way. I wanted to sit and hold him for hours which makes me all the more excited about Avas arrival in 31 days.

We spent more time with James brothers, dad, step mom, and Suzette James brothers wife. Yet again we had an amazing time even though I am super duper pregnant about to pop lol.

It's back to school time 2012

Today is the kids first day back to school. Amelia starts the K3 program at North Cobb Christian School and was super comfortable going into her class room today. She was excited to get started with her fun day!! Tony was super excited as well wearing his new shoes from grandma and you can see the big smile on his face. They are so precious.

Greetings Friends and Family,

On July 6th at 1:45pm it was an extremely exciting time for the Baker Family.  We took Tony and Mia to our 20 week check up to see their new baby sister or brother.  With anticipation the kids shuffled in their chairs having trouble sitting still while the ultrasound technician completed her initial screening. The Technician smiled looked at my husband and I and said without a doubt.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow a girl with the long standing history of men in both the Chapman family and the Baker family we were blessed with another GIRL.

Although my husbands initial expectation was to have a boy to carry on the name shortly after the news his mind filled with images of what his princess is going to look like.  I on the other hand was happy with either boy or girl with more focus being on the fact that she was a healthy, beautiful, growing little one.

My sister Stephanie could not even get the words out of her mouth upon hearing the news that she was going to be graced with another Princhinee!!!  She loves the girls she said and was super excited.

Unprepared for the news I honestly did not have a girl name picked out but knew God would present the most amazing name we could ever imagine.   

My sister Stephanie shared a story before announcing what would become our new little princess's permanent name.  Steph said when she walked around our house she always had the sudden urge to sing the song "Sing sweet night n gail" and would humm the tune all around our house.  Well the name she proposed would mean both the VOICE in Persian and PRETTY; DELICATE LIKE A BIRD in LATIN;  LIFE in Hebrew and in Old English BREATH OF LIFE.  


and we shall call her name AVA....

AVA RENEE BAKER 

New baby baker- 13wks

May 23rd I got to catch a glimpse of our new baby baker moving and grooving in the belly. I was amazed at 13 weeks how active this baby was in the womb, seemed like the baby was dancing for me. Right a way we could see the baby discovering their hand by the face. My little angel was in perfect condition right on time for a Nov 22nd due date. I will have to have the baby via c-section on the 16th which works out perfectly since the kids will be home with me that week.

Ive finally felt a little better from around the clock morning sickness. Unlike the other two I felt this flu like nausea all day long but with the others it was only a moment in the Am. I'm not gaining a ton of weight which is wonderful considering I'm a little heavier than with the other two.

No matter what pregnancy the experience is like new and exciting every time. My excitement is growing as I begin to feel the subtle movements of my new little one. The anticipation of boy versus girl, look like hubby or mom, peaceful or energetic, it's the most amazing experience of all time.

I praise God again for Him hearing my cry and sending this amazon gift.

Mothers day Tea

-mothers day tea at Tonys school was amazing a few weeks ago. The kids worked on their first science project and Tony got an O for outstanding. The kids made individual hand ceramics and decorated them. We ate snacks together and the kids answered special facts about there mom. According to Tony I'm 21 yrs old, love the color pink. My favorite thing to do with Tony is hugs and kisses and my husband and I met at work ( really church but whose counting) this was a very special day for the both of us.
