Gracie's First Months of Life in 2009

Well 2009 has been the best year of our life. On Feb. 4th 2009, Joey and I found out that we were pregnant!! Since then our world has been filled with pure joy! She is absolutely the light of our lives...it is amazing how one little 6 lb. baby can change your whole outlook on life. We have made it through the first 3 months of her life and many "firsts". Her first smile, first illness, her Halloween, Thanksgiving and now Christmas. We are looking forward to starting the new year with our perfect little family in our new home. Here are some pictures from the past month...enjoy!

Loving our Life, Family and New Home...

Well...Joey, Gracie, and I are so blessed to have so many people in our lives to help us out. Lisa, Michelle, Grandma and Papaw have watchhed Gracie for me since I have been back to work (and not to mention when we have been trying to move). They are such a wonderful support system and I appreciate them every single day! This past weekend we started the big move. Our first night in our new home was Saturday Dec. 12th. While I was wondering about the stockings being hung on the new mantle or the Christmas tree being put up...Joey and Papaw have been working hard on installing the new dishwasher and over the range microwave. Elbert, Karen, and Ryan have been helping paint and put together new furniture. Timmy and Michelle came up last Thursday to help put together our new bedroom suite and it looks great! I am hoping to get pictures posted soon. It has been such a busy few weeks. I am looking forward to spending our first Christmas with Miss Gracie.

Hospital, Buying a House, and Christmas Pictures...

This has been quite a month for the Wright family. During this month Gracie has been in the hospital. We took her to the ER on Saturday night with a fever and she was admitted. It ended up being bacteria in her bladder that caused the fever. She is still recovering. It was the hardest thing I have ever went through to see my baby with an IV in her head and arm. It broke my heart, but she is a very tough little girl! Also, this month we bought a house! We were planning on building, but this opportunity to buy the house next to our farm was brought to the table and we couldn't pass it up. We should be in it by Thanksgiving. We took our Christmas pictures this past Thursday with Simply U Photography and just with the sneak peaks they sent me I am in love.

Two Weeks Old and Already Caught a Cold...

Poor Gracie. She was just two weeks old on Wednesday and already has a nasty sinus infection. She had the sniffles over the weekend but as the week progressed she go worse. So Joey and I took her to the doctor yesterday and they put her on some antibiotics. I hope this helps because she has been so cranky and not sleeping well at all. On the bright side she super cuddly and wants to be held which is no problem with me because I could hold her and snuggle 24/7. Here are so new pictures of our precious gift from God:

Gracie Allise Wright-Reflection on Giving Birth

Tears of pain soon turned into tears of happiness on September 23rd, 2009 at 1:17 PM. Our beautiful daughter has finally arrived. God, Joey, and I created the most precious child in the entire world. Gracie weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and was 18 3/4 inches long. I must admit when labor began I kept repeating...I cannot do this...but with the good Lord watching over me and a little help from medications Gracie arrived after just one push! I did not think it was possible to love someone that much...I mean I love my family, I love my husband, but the love of a child takes love to a much different level. This past week we have just watched her every move, every sound, and every second has been complete heaven. Right now she is sitting in her swing with her bright blue eyes watching Mommy and she has a slight case of hiccups (so of course I stopped mid typing to go capture it on the video camera). After trying to have a child for over 19 months Gracie was a miracle and a blessing. I honestly thank God every other second of the day for such a beautiful, healthly, and precious baby. And Joey...wow...he is such a wonderful daddy. He is so attentive and bless his heart he kisses her 24/7. So although we are sleep deprived, a little stir crazy, and beyond busy....Gracie Allise Wright seems to melt all our worries and troubles away. Here are a few pictures of our little angel:
